Russians fired about 40 ballistic missiles at Kyiv in just 53 minutes – a record.

The aggressors attacked civilian targets that don't make any military sense.

Russia is a terrorist state and nothing else. Russia is not a country or a society – it's merely a poison to the world.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator.

The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization.

Congress is on recess.

This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

Let me get this straight.

Countries around the world have paid the US in advance for arming themselves and also arms for Ukraine.

The US is not delivering those weapons, and also seizing the money already paid for weapons never to be delivered.

No trust left for the US.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

While Russian Duma members were getting guided tours of US government buildings and Trump was busy pressuring Ukraine to surrender, Russia helped Iran destroy an irreplaceable American $700,000,000 AWACS aircraft.

I am currently in Budapest, and the situation is worse than I imagined. The dictator Orbán is running a real disinformation campaign against Ukraine and Europe in order to stay in power with Russia’s help.

Orbán is a threat to Europe and to European citizens.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

Russia enters Viktor Orban's election campaign, providing consultants who will flood social media with messages designed, ironically, to frame Orbán, a Russia puppet, as "the only candidate who can keep Hungary sovereign"

Ukraine has now helped the US, Israel, and the Gulf states protect civilians from Iranian drone strikes. As a special thank you, the US spoke to Putin and told him he's doing a great job in his invasion of Ukraine and lifted some sanctions on Russia. Great partnership.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

This is exactly how the press should be reporting this story: “Orbán’s government robbed a Ukrainian state bank — then a Fidesz tabloid ran AI fakes to justify it.”

So, what actually happened?

An armored convoy belonging to the Ukrainian state bank Oschadbank was stopped in Hungary. Seven Ukrainian citizens were detained and the cash was confiscated.

Oschadbank is a Ukrainian state bank that has a legal license to transport cash across borders. In this case, the cash was being moved from Austria to Ukraine. This is routine banking logistics.

Ukrainian banks must regularly import foreign cash (dollars and euros) because Ukrainians buy far more foreign currency than they sell each month. Before the war, this cash often arrived by plane. With Ukrainian airspace closed, it now travels by land.

Every step of such operations is documented and monitored — the source of the money, the route, the insurance, and the banks involved. These are tightly regulated international financial procedures. You simply cannot move “corruption money” through such a system.

But, of course, this became a perfect opportunity for Orbán and russian propaganda to push false narratives. A disinformation campaign quickly followed, using AI-generated fake images of Ukrainian cash-in-transit guards. The images were published by Ripost, a tabloid controlled and funded by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz party.

And people, incapable of critical thinking, eagerly helped spread the fake images and propaganda narratives — including the claim that the cash was “money laundering by Zelenskyy.”

But in reality, all that happened was this: Orbán’s government seized the funds of a Ukrainian state bank — and then a Fidesz tabloid published AI fakes to justify it.

BREAKING: Ukraine Sends Drone Experts to Protect U.S. Bases in Jordan.

Meanwhile Russia Sends Iran intelligence to allow them to better target and kill US Military personnel.

Ask yourself which side you are on.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Recap: Trump pressures Ukraine to surrender to invading Russia, insults Zelenskyy, refuses to ever criticize Putin or condemn Russia, lifts sanctions on Russian oil as it helps Iran murder Americans, while Zelenskyy shares Ukrainian drone expertise with US and Gulf allies.

[Jay in Kyiv @JayinKyiv]

Putin convinced Trump to cancel Russia sanctions, as expected.

Europeans should ge outraged because all that cash will 100% go into more terrorism all over Europe and mass murder in Ukraine, but Europe will do nothing.

[Michael MacKay @mhmck]

Marco Rubio says the Iranian regime is conducting terrorism using missiles and one-way attack drones against energy infrastructure and civilians. But that's exactly what the Russian regime does against Ukraine.

So why does the USA attack Iran but make endless excuses for Russia?

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

Trump wins the prize for repugnance.

Donald Trump, the self-proclaimed "wartime president" and master of distraction, has reached a new low in moral depravity with his latest attack on Volodymyr Zelenskyy as the "P.T. Barnum of Ukraine."

This repugnant rhetoric is nothing more than a desperate attempt to mask his own catastrophic incompetence in every area—from foreign policy to military leadership to basic humanity. By shifting the blame for his own failures onto Zelenskyy and Ukraine, which has suffered four years of brutal Russian aggression, Trump exposes himself for what he truly is: a weak, evil, and utterly repugnant individual incapable of taking responsibility.

Trump has unleashed a war against Iran—without congressional approval, based on flimsy justifications that were already refuted by his own Pentagon briefings on the second day.
US soldiers dead, the Gulf region ablaze, Dubai a battlefield—and who's to blame? Not the man who pulled the trigger, but Biden and Zelenskyy, who supposedly "gave away" ammunition. This isn't just ridiculous, it's pathological. Trump, who boasts of having "rebuilt" the military, is implicitly admitting that his armed forces aren't even equipped for a "four- to five-week" conflict.
And instead of acknowledging his failures—such as underfunding ammunition production or chaotic planning—he shifts the blame to a nation fighting a genocide-prone aggressor.
Ukraine has received billions in aid since 2022 to defend itself, not to "cheat." Trump is twisting this to justify his own waste in "Epic Fury"—a war that's swallowing billions while he dismisses Ukraine as a "show."

The comparison to P.T. Barnum is particularly toxic and dehumanizing. Barnum, the charlatan who turned suffering into entertainment—that's Trump's code for: The Ukraine war is fake, the massacres in Bucha, the destroyed cities, the traumatized children? All a staged event to fleece "suckers" like Biden and thus America. This isn't just a lie; it's an insult to every victim of Russian terror.

Trump is dehumanizing an entire people who are heroically resisting in order to sell his own "strength." He, the man who eliminates Khamenei's successor without a plan for the consequences, poses as a "winner" while sending thousands to their deaths.

That's not strength; that's madness disguised as machismo.

People like Trump—incompetent, flawed, and cowardly—are the real charlatans. They build empires on lies, shift the blame onto the weak, and destroy everything they touch.

Zelenskyy is fighting for freedom; Trump is fighting only for his ego.

This rhetoric is not only repugnant, it's dangerous: it undermines alliances, emboldens aggressors like Putin, and betrays American values.

Trump doesn't deserve a platform; he deserves contempt. History will expose him as the ultimate "sucker"—the one who leads a country to ruin just to save himself.

Thanks, Regina @Sunnymica , for the tip and the template!

If a Shahed strike UAV is launched by the Iranian terrorist state at a Middle Eastern country, NATO members will try to shoot it down.

If the same Shahed is launched by the russian terrorist state at a European country, Ukraine, then NATO members will sit back and do nothing.

[JanTheStitchWitch @pictureladyjan]

@DefenceHQ I find it so desperately sad that we can jump to shoot down Iranian drones heading to Qatar, but we can't shoot down the exact same type of drone heading to kill Ukrainians. It is grievously unjust that Ukrainians have to die, because no one will close their skies for them.

[Bricktop_NAFO @Bricktop_NAFO]

Everyone has seen drones smashing into hotels, and burning a high rise building in the middlel east tonight.

Yeah?

Well Russian does this every night in Ukraine.
