THREAD: Since stepping back into the Oval Office Trump's been purposefully flooding the zone w/ a constant stream of outrage porn to distract. Here's the stories that actually matter that you might've missed this week:
Why the fuck is the media letting MAGA get away with the lie that the United States owes Ukraine nothing?
30 years ago Ukraine gave up its entire nuclear arsenal for a security promise by the United States. It was called The Budapest Memorandum. We used to keep our promises.
Marge Taylor-Greene's boyfriend and a failed NYC casino boss thought Zelensky's outfit was disrespectful of their royal magesties.
Guess who doesn't have a problem with Zelensky's clothes? The fucking king of England.
This guy is a leech on the public. No matter how many billions he gets in tax cuts and government contracts, it will never be enough for him.
Now he’s going after the elderly, the disabled, and orphaned children so he can pocket it in tax cuts for himself.
It’s disgusting.
After Vance accused Zelensky of not saying thank you, Zelensky is now tweeting individual thanks to every single world leader expressing solidarity with Ukraine.
Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them.
Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
There is an aggressor: Russia.
There is a victim: Ukraine.
We were right to help Ukraine and sanction Russia three years ago—and to keep doing so.
By “we,” I mean the Americans, the Europeans, the Canadians, the Japanese, and many others.
Thank you to all who have helped and continue to do so. And respect to those who have been fighting since the beginning—because they are fighting for their dignity, their independence, their children, and the security of Europe.
I’m in London this morning, working with President Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Starmer, and European leaders to bring about a just and lasting peace in Ukraine — one that guarantees Ukraine’s sovereignty and security.
It takes a lot to piss off Canada. Leave it to Trump to upend our strongest alliance in history 🇨🇦
