I hope it’s all becoming clearer.
The same people who spent years working to undermine support for Ukraine have now dropped the pretense entirely and openly aligned themselves with Russia.
Not with America’s interests. With Russia.
And in doing so, they have exposed what many of us have been arguing all along: this was never really about Ukraine.
Because supporting Ukraine was never an act of charity. It was an act of self-interest.
A weakened Russia is good for the United States. A Russia forced to expend its military, economic, and political power in a failed war of aggression is good for the United States. Demonstrating that borders cannot be changed by force is good for the United States. Showing China, Iran, and every other adversary that aggression carries consequences is good for the United States.
Instead, these voices chose to attack the country fighting our adversary rather than the adversary itself.
Now many have abandoned even the pretense of neutrality and openly defend Russia, a hostile power that has partnered with Iran, armed America’s enemies, worked against our interests across the globe, and repeatedly sought to weaken the United States and the West.
The irony is remarkable. Many claim to be champions of America First while making arguments that benefit Moscow at the expense of American power, American credibility, and American security.
The masks are off.
What was presented as opposition to aid for Ukraine has increasingly revealed itself as something far more damning: a willingness to excuse, rationalize, and even admire a regime whose interests are fundamentally opposed to our own.
Supporting Ukraine was always the America First position. True MAGA understood that from the beginning.
@noclador And they still don't want to share the licenses to produce these missiles. Ukraine has again requested a license to produce interceptors for the Petriot, but the response has been silence.
4.5 years in and France, Italy, and the UK keep producing Aster missiles at anemic rates... which of course means that no sane nation should buy SAMP/T, because as Ukraine found out: air defence systems without missiles are useless.
Fifty countries looked at 90 missiles, 600 drones, four dead civilians and threats to foreign embassies in Kyiv, and signed a joint statement saying this was, broadly speaking, not acceptable behaviour.
The Trump administration did not sign.
Fifty nations managed it. But the regime in Washington, which has spent months slobbering over the man ordering the strikes, looked at the paper and thought: this is fine. We like this. Keep going.
This is not America forgetting its values. This is a government that never had any. An administration that watches civilians pulled from rubble and sees nothing worth condemning, because the man doing the bombing is the man they admire. Christian values, as JD Vance would call them. The same JD Vance who warns that Europe is committing civilisational suicide. Lucky, then, that the world has Washington to look to as the guardian of civilised values. Or whatever it is you call declining to condemn the bombing of schools and apartment blocks. Presumably something with the word “Christian” in it.
Historians will not be kind. But history will have to get in line, because the people in this administration will never set foot in Europe again, not for work and not for pleasure. No red carpets. No state dinners. No quiet holidays on the Amalfi coast. Just cold stares, turned backs, and the kind of contempt that does not need a translator.
@donjabs12@Mhdcli84@GerardAraud В Маріуполі росіяни вбили більше 30 тисяч людей, там загинули тисячі дітей. Тільки за це росія заслуговує на любі бомбардування.
Po czym poznać że Rosjanin kłamie? Oddycha.
Może nie wszyscy ale na pewno ci od propagandy.
Rosjanie produkują właśnie łzawe materiały propagandowe w których...wykorzystali zdjęcia ukraińskich nastolatków zabitych w 2022 i 2023 przez Rosjan oraz stockowe zdjęcia z rosyjskich socjali.
Muszą kłamać na potęgę żeby przykryć fakt że ukraińskie drony trafiły w koszary "Rubikona" gdzie 19-24 letni mężczyźni i kobiety szkoleni byli na droniarzy przed wysłaniem na wojnę.
There has been no official information about the use of a second 'Oreshnik IRBM' that likely failed hitting near Donetsk city.
Here is proof 2 were used.
1. The camera that recorded the first fall of a 'Oreshnik IRBM' is located in Donetsk city looking towards the north. The MIRVs can be seen entering extremely quickly meaning that the impact site is close likely outside Avdiivka, Donetsk region
2. To compare the speed and distance I put together a video showing the entry from both Bila Tverska (Seen from Kyiv) and the entry near Donetsk city.
3. The 'Oreshnik' near Donetsk was likely a failure, who knows.
@WarintheFuture Також сьогодні росіяни атакували гражданскі цілі, ринок, магазини, жили будинки, бізнес центри та укриття де ховалися люди. Росіяни
бомблять мирних, бо не чого не могут добитися на фронті.
@RealScottRitter@JeffFisch You're lying. I'm from Donetsk, and in 2014, Russia and its terrorists attacked me and occupied my city. And the only people shelling Donbas were Russians, I saw it myself.
@monthyreact@Argenpoirot@Jorge_AH2 Цей хлопець давно помер від передозування наркотиками. Він був карликом, ті дівчата що поряд танцуют, його подружки і вони одного року народження.
