Trump completely loses it and shows the whole world what the American president is: disgusting scum.
"You are either dishonest or stupid... You are stupid," Trump said to an American journalist and walked out of the interview.
@markomihkelson Ok, not bad…but border? shouldn't it be 100% closed? what are we dealing with terrorists and occupiers? @markomihkelson wait a relevant answer.
Kasparov: The brave thing for everyone not in a Ukrainian uniform is to make a fair contribution.
It is a cup of coffee and an extra croissant versus Ukraine sacrificing lives every day. There is no draw in this war: either we win, or Putin wins. 3X
Everybody knows that, before elected President of Ukraine, @ZelenskyyUa was a famous comic actor. (In fact, perhaps the most famous comic actor not only in Ukraine, but in Russia as well.) What's less known is that he has a genuinely fine sense of humor even as a war-time president. Today, he recalled Belarus strongman Lukashenka's grand-standing suggestion that "President of Ukraine should meet President of Belarus" and immideately turned to @Tsihanouskaya, who won the 2020 presidential elections in Belarus but was forced out of the country by Lukashenka's regime. That's both fine diplomacy and a genuinely light moment.
KASPAROV: Dictators always lie about what they've done, but very often tell you exactly what they're going to do. Mein Kampf was published in 1925, and it was a blueprint. Nobody took it seriously in 1925.
In 2005 Vladimir Putin, already in his second term as Russian president, in control of Russian nukes and enormous amount of money, addressed Russian Duma and Senate. He said bluntly, "The collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century."
Vladimir Putin made it very clear then, and for those who didn't want to hear him saying it in Russian in Moscow, he repeated it in 2007 at Munich Security Conference, looking straight in the eyes of Bush 43 and all other leaders of free world.
For those who couldn't hear him, the next year he attacked Republic of Georgia. So Vladimir Putin's goal was, is, and will be, and there's no indication he's changed it, to restore the glory of Russian Empire, which means to push NATO back to 1997 borders.
That was a part of the ultimatum that Vladimir Putin laid down back in 2007 and put again on the table in December 2021. Ukraine is the main target now, but it's not the ultimate goal.
The problem is Europe still doesn't want to recognize it. We're still talking about hypotheticals. This is not a threat. This is a menace.
