This insane plan to blackmail and twist Ukraine’s arm — a scheme as foolish as it is detached from reality — will go down as one of the most disgraceful episodes in the history of global diplomacy.
And it is something far more sordid than the infamous Munich Agreement before the Second World War — for there, at least, Chamberlain and Daladier sincerely hoped they could buy peace from a monster at a small price and thus prevent another global catastrophe. And later, they had the honor to acknowledge their fatal mistake.
And here, today, we see an irresponsible and incompetent demagogue who, despite all his bluster and empty talk, has suffered a complete fiasco, and now seeks to wash his hands of it by blaming a nation under attack in the largest war in Europe since Adolf Hitler. And then, with astonishing cynicism, reaches eagerly for the financial handouts offered by the aggressor.
This is the lowest point in the modern history of the West.
Full support for President @ZelenskyyUa and the Ukrainian people, who, in the darkest times, defend not only their national interests but also fight for freedom, security, and peace across Europe!
Given that the Trump people did nothing to induce Russia to end the war, it’s fair to conclude that the whole idea of pursuing peace was just a pretext to renew relations with Russia.
Trump and Vance act as if the problem is that Ukraine is resisting an ongoing Russian invasion. The problem is the ongoing Russian invasion. If they want to use American power to stop the war, apply it to the aggressor. Abusing the victim is not going to end a war of aggression.
Good News, Bad News!
The good news is that Lex Fridman knows who I am. The bad news is he probably will never invite me on his podcast.
He is blocking anyone now who mentions the interviews he conducted in Ukraine in 2022 and why he refuses to release them.

It’s been a few hours. Here’s the tankie guide.
1 It never happened
2 It was 🇺🇦 missile fragments
3 They were Nazis & deserved what didn't happen
4 NATO/Soros/Ukraine staged it
5 What didn't happen to Nazis who deserved it/actors who staged was a biolab
6 But Gaza
Repeat
Today, Russia struck Ukrainian cities, resulting in over 170 injuries. As of now, 37 fatalities have been reported, including three children. My condolences go out to their families and loved ones.
In total, nearly 100 facilities were damaged, including a children's hospital, ordinary houses, kindergartens, a maternity hospital, a college, and a business center. The rubble is still being cleared at these sites.
Russian terrorists must be held accountable for this. Mere concern does not stop terror. Condolences are not a weapon. We need to shoot down Russian missiles. Russian combat aircraft must be destroyed where they are based. Strong steps must be taken to eliminate any security deficit.
The world has the necessary strength to do this. Our partners are capable of making it happen. Decisions are needed as soon as possible.
I have just heard loud and clear from @DmytroKuleba that Ukraine urgently needs more air defence. I saw myself in Odesa & Kharkiv that air defence saves lives. Together we call on partners in Europe & worldwide to provide whatever we all can.
