HERE'S SOME EXPLANATIONS...
...that will help Americans understand Ukraine better.

The American President tried to get us to sign away $500 billion dollars in mineral wealth a few days ago - in exchange for a piece of paper.

The thing is, Ukraine is in this mess BECAUSE, after independence, it signed a piece of paper backed by the 'word' of the US and of a US President.

This document was the Budapest Memorandum.

The Budapest Memorandum told us that if we completely disarmed our gigantic nuclear arsenal (third largest in the world), the US and the UK would back us up if anyone ever attacked us.
---

So, in 2022, russia attacked us.

What did the US say about the Budapest Memorandum then?

'Oh, that's just a piece of paper. It was never ratified, you know. It means nothing.'
---

So, you see, we're not going to sign empty promises from an American President again.

Since our country was invaded, you know, because we trusted the word of an American President.

I don't think there's ONE PERSON HERE who believes that russia would have invaded us if we'd still had THE THIRD LARGEST NUCLEAR ARSENAL in the world!
---

The fact is, America owes us big-time!
It's AMERICA's interference that has CAUSED this mess.

Clinton himself made a video admitting that he was wrong.
---

But if you don't want to admit you did wrong, it's alright.
It really is.

We're friends, right?
And friends can overlook a friend's mistakes.
Everyone does make mistakes.
---

You want payment for weapons?
THAT'S ALSO ALRIGHT!

You want $500 billion in mineral wealth in exchange for lend lease?
THAT'S ALSO ALRIGHT!!
In fact, I'm enthusiastic about it! Let's win this war!!!
---

BUT....
...this time it's got to be down IN BLACK AND WHITE, on an official document that has the full commitment of the American government behind it - and all FOLLOWING American governments.

It has to be in black and white that you'll deliver $500 billion in lend lease, minus the $114.2 billion that America has already sent us.

And it's $114.2 billion you've sent us.
You can stop talking about it being $300 billion.

Speaking outright Iies affects America's standing in the world, and the respect in which it is held.
---

Now, I ask you...
Are we being at all unreasonable?

We're WILLING TO PAY for support.

What we're NOT willing to pay $500 billion for is a meaningless piece of paper.

Since, in this war, America has ALREADY proved the 'worth' of such meaningless pieces of paper.
---

And there's one more thing...
YOU CAN STOP ABUSING US, TOO!!!

Instead of honor and integrity and decency, what we get from America is CONSTANT abuse from MAGA.

And don't tell me they are all russian trolls.
They are NOT 'all russian trolls'.

The people abusing Ukraine and talking about the 'hundreds of billions that Zelenskyy has pocketed' AND CONSTANTLY SPOUTING RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA LINES are not russian trolls.

The Americans constantly abusing Ukraine are American citizens who SO lack an education that they have neither a knowledge of history, NOR respect for courage, NOR understanding of integrity and honor, and ABSOLUTELY do not have the slightest understanding of geopolitics.

NOT all Americans, mind you.
Not even all MAGA.

But those who come online yelling abuse at Ukraine? Absolutely!
---

Talk is cheap.
Abusive talk comes even easier.
And alienating one's allies may be the easiest of all.

But doing the RIGHT thing at the RIGHT place and at the RIGHT time?

That takes EDUCATION.
---

And that's a Ukrainian speaking.

Do you observe any difference between this and the wild, abusive rantings of MAGA?

THAT difference is EDUCATION.
---

MAGA are welcome to yell abuse in the comments and prove my point. 👎

To think that I've been a dedicated friend and ally of the United States all my life! Those Americans who know me best, KNOW THIS.

But your people's political games at the expense of the lives of your allies have broken my heart.

BREAKING: Mexico's superstar President Claudia Sheinbaum brings down the hammer on Donald Trump for labeling several Mexican drug cartels as terrorist organizations — which Elon Musks says makes them "eligible for drone strikes."

MAGA is marching us towards another pointless war but Mexico is pumping the brakes...

"This cannot be an opportunity for the U.S. to invade our sovereignty. With Mexico, it is collaboration and coordination, never subordination or interventionism, and even less invasion," Sheinbaum said to reporters.

"The Mexican people will under no circumstances accept interventions, intrusions or any other action from abroad that is detrimental to the integrity, independence or sovereignty of the nation … [including] violations of Mexican territory, whether by land, sea or air," she added.

As Mexican authorities have correctly pointed out, the cartels — while dangerous and cruel — are motivated by profit margins rather than political goals, so they do not truly classify as terrorist organizations.

Of course, Trump is not interested in the truth. He's interested in pandering to his bigoted supporters who despise Mexico as a whole. More than that, he wants to give handouts to the military-industrial complex which will be deeply involved if he escalates militarily against the cartels.

Sheinbaum stated that she will not allow any kind of attacks to take place within her country, which rules out the possibility of American drone strike — unless Trump violates that sovereignty unilaterally, which would be tantamount to a declaration of war.

BREAKING: The esteemed Virginia Theological Seminary releases a powerful statement supporting Bishop Mariann Budde after she called out Donald Trump to his face and became MAGA's Public Enemy #1.

This just poured fuel on the fire...

"We are proud of our alumna Bishop Marianne Budde for her faithfulness to the Biblical witness. To ask a President to be merciful is in the tradition of the prophets of the Hebrew Bible," the school's president Ian Markham president and dean wrote on Facebook.

"While the overwhelming response VTS has received about her sermon has been positive, we have also received various complaints about our work because of her training in our Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry programs," Markham continued.

"To be clear, we teach the Gospel as reflected in Holy Scripture. We support and stand alongside our Bishop alumna," he bluntly added.

This is the kind of courage that this moment in history demands. For daring to suggest that our so-called Christian president should show mercy and compassion, Bishop Budde has been inundated with hatred.

She stated that many Republicans now "wish me dead" thanks to her sermon at the National Cathedral and still she refuses to apologize or back down.

The Virginia Theological Seminary is the largest accredited Episcopal seminary in the United States and the second oldest. Donald Trump picked a fight with our nation's religious leaders. He's losing badly.

BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom punches back hard after Donald Trump exploits the deadly Los Angeles wildfires to demand political concessions in return for federal relief funds.

Newsom is putting his money where his mouth is while Trump plays politics...

"Conditioning aid for American citizens is wrong," Newsom said bluntly through his press office before debunking Trump's claims—

"FACT: Under current CA law you must be a CA resident and US citizen (and attest to being one under penalty of perjury) AND provide a form of ID such as driver’s license or passport that has been approved by the Secretary of State in order to register to vote."

"FACT: 15 states do not generally require voter ID at polls, including Nevada and Pennsylvania (two states won by President Trump)."

"FACT: California pumps as much water now as it could under prior Trump-era policies."

Newsom's office was responding to the vile demands Donald Trump made earlier today day, during which the so-called president shamelessly politicized a natural disaster.

"I want to see two things in Los Angeles," Trump told reporters in North Carolina. "Voter ID, so that the people have a chance to vote, and I want to see the water be released and come down into Los Angeles and throughout the state."

"Those are the two things. After that, I will be the greatest president that California has ever seen,” he insisted.

Unfortunately for him, Governor Newsom is no pushover. Just yesterday he signed a $2.5 billion relief package that will be "made available immediately" for disaster recovery, debris removal, logistics work, traffic management, and more.

Trump plays politics. Newsom gets the job done.

BREAKING: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hits back hard at Donald Trump with a dire warning after he announces his disastrous tariffs — and breaks down exactly how idiotic his idea is.

This is what a real leader sounds like...

"Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs," she wrote in a letter to Trump which she read at a press conference.

"Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she added.

"One tariff will follow another and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," she correctly predicted. Trump's suggestion that he will implement a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada is utterly moronic and will only succeed at skyrocketing prices.

"I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs," she continued.

"For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions," Sheinbaum added.
