This is what happens when you put a completely unqualified person in charge of the Department of Defense. He bombs 13,000 targets because it sounds cool (it isn’t) without a clear strategy or end goal. The consequences are real. Our military readiness is weakened, and Americans are less safe.
18 years ago, Russian troops invaded the territory of the sovereign state of Georgia, brutally violating the norms of international law and the provisions of the UN Charter.
The armed aggression of 2008, hundreds of deaths and hundreds of thousands of refugees, the occupation of the integral Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, the so-called “borderization”, forced passportization and displacement of indigenous inhabitants – all these are components of Moscow’s unified imperial policy aimed at the conquest and destruction of other countries and peoples.
The “Russian world” has brought death, destruction, lawlessness, and poverty to Georgian land – just like it has to everywhere else in the world where it has taken hold. Regions of Georgia that once had prospects for successful development have been transformed by the Russian aggressor and its proxies into a depressed zone where human rights are grossly ignored.
August 2008 was a turning point for the modern security architecture. The lack of a tough, consolidated, and strong response from the international community only whetted the appetites of the Russian invader and paved the way for the occupation of Ukrainian Crimea and Donbas in 2014, and later, a full-scale invasion to Ukraine.
The so-called "agreement on deepening allied cooperation" between the Kremlin and its puppet regime, signed in Tskhinvali on May 9, 2026, was clear evidence of Russia's consistent creeping absorption and annexation of Georgia's sovereign territories.
Ukraine consistently and unwaveringly supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia within its internationally recognized borders. We will never recognize the occupation of Georgian land and will adhere to this policy until the Russian occupier leaves.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine once again emphasizes: the Russian Federation must withdraw its troops from the temporarily occupied territories of Georgia and Ukraine, fulfilling its international obligations. Crimes against humanity and war crimes committed during the aggression have no statute of limitations, and Russian criminals must face national and international justice. Sustainable peace in Europe is possible only on condition of the deoccupation of all territories occupied by Russia and the restoration of the force of international law.
We call on the international community to increase pressure on Russia as an aggressor state, expand sanctions restrictions, and join efforts to hold the military-political leadership of the Russian Federation accountable for the crime of aggression, and Russian criminals accountable for all subsequent atrocities.
These weapons will be supplied by North Korea to terrorist Russia. The EU is just looking on and South Korea does not want to send weapons to Ukraine. Ukraine needs 100 times more help from Europe than it is currently receiving, otherwise the war will not be ended.
Trump is intentionally allowing Ukrainians to die in nightly missile attacks hoping to force Ukraine to give up their land so he can secure business deals with Russia.
There, I said it out loud.
North Korea provides ballistic missiles to russia, but Germany never sent the Taurus. The US never sent the Tomahawk and dragged its ass to send a little over 100 ATACMS. Remember this.
“Ukraine’s survival is more than humanitarian work. It’s a U.S. interest, and Patriots over Kyiv are defending stability and freedom on the European continent.”🇺🇸🇺🇦

North Korea fully engaging Ukraine on behalf of Russia, troops and missiles included, and the rest of the world “can’t get involved.”
Weakness always leads to eventual war.
While the Coalition of the Willing holds meetings and counters Russian attacks with press releases, Russia’s Coalition of the Killing sends soldiers, drones, and now ballistic missiles.
Our paralysis and cowardice continue to embolden and enable our enemies to escalate this war.
The cruel irony is that Oleksii Yukov was killed by a landmine while recovering the remains of Russian soldiers.
He often said that every fallen soldier deserved to come home. He called them “souls,” not bodies. His mission was to bring Ukraine’s defenders back to their families for a proper burial. He also recovered Russian soldiers so they could be exchanged, allowing more Ukrainian heroes to return home.
His death is an immeasurable loss for Ukraine. And, whether they realize it or not, it is also a loss for Russia. The very people celebrating his death are cheering the loss of someone who helped ensure their own dead did not remain abandoned on a battlefield.
Oleksii believed that every family deserved the chance to bury their loved ones. He lived by that principle until his very last day. Ukraine lost an extraordinary man.
In under two years, Trump’s second term has fundamentally shattered US deterrence.
Abandoning traditional allies combined with dangerously low ammunition stocks sends an explicit invitation for Russian aggression in Europe and Chinese action against Taiwan
“As long as I’m alive, I will keep searching.”
Oleksii Yukov, the head of the Platsdarm search and recovery team, has been killed.
For years, Yukov and his team risked their lives recovering the bodies of fallen Ukrainian defenders from active front lines, minefields, and occupied territory, ensuring families could finally bring their loved ones home and lay them to rest with dignity.
Even under constant artillery fire and FPV drone attacks, they never stopped.
He also made a promise to every Ukrainian soldier:
“Come home alive. But if the worst happens, we will find you. We will bring you home. One hundred percent.”
Rest in peace, Oleksii. Thank you for bringing so many heroes home.
A Russian FPV drone deliberately attacked a street vendor in Kherson.
The sadistic operator first chased the man, enjoying the chase. Then he tried to kill him.
The man was seriously injured.
Russian troops stage this kind of human safari in Ukraine every day. It's hard to believe this is possible in Europe in the 21st century.
Russia’s invasion has turned vast stretches of fertile Ukrainian farmland into deadly minefields.
Yet, local farmers risk their lives every single day to clear land and secure the harvest.
