Why Supporting Ukraine Is An Investment In Freedom, Not Charity | Daily Wire (9/5/26) https://t.co/N3zBdOkwi4

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.

While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.

Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.

As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.

America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.

America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all. Slava Ukraini🇺🇸🇺🇦

A reality check on the current “war with Russia is about to start” frenzy.

Russia is aggressive. It is waging a major war in Ukraine, conducting sabotage and other terror operations in Europe and yes, is testing NATO's red lines

Russia probably wants us to believe so - but there is no new intelligence assessment saying Russia is about to attack NATO.

There is quite a difference between THREAT and IMMINENT WAR. We should be able to understand both at the same time.

So where did the current panic come from?

European politicians and media created a perfect storm, (likely with the help of Russian assets) making deliberately strong statements, often for domestic political reasons.

Russian intimidation and hybrid warfare is designed to frighten, divide and pacify Europe.

Media/sm logic turns “NATO has plans for every contingency” into “NATO expects war any day now.”

The NATO Military Committee chairman said the Alliance has 4,000 pages of plans covering everything from minor incidents to Article 5.

That means NATO is doing its job. Not that war starts Tuesday.

Governments need parliamentary support for defence, Ukraine aid and larger EU/NATO budgets. Russia is a real threat, so politicians are not inventing the danger. But there is an obvious temptation to use the most dramatic formulations available. Everyone exaggerates.

Then Moscow adds more provocations and threats to the mix. And headlines strip away qualifications.

Then algorithms reward the most frightening interpretation.

Within minutes preparedness becomes prediction.

Estonia’s intelligence assessment remains the same: Russia is dangerous and its military capabilities may grow, but we don't see that Russia intends to attack Estonia or another NATO country in the coming months.
Believe me - we are watching very closely, literally. And we will not keep it to ourselves if we see something.

We prepare. All of Europe needs to stop panicking and continue doing the same, seriously and calmly. And increase serious military aid to Ukraine. This is what the fight is about today. To make us wobble. Don't.

Russia wants us uncertain, divided and sacred. Deterrence requires the opposite: strong defence, clear eyes and steady nerves. The one who stays calm wins the fight.

[Ambassador Jonatan Vseviov @vseviov]

There’s been a lot of panic on social media lately about the security of the Baltic states.

Take a breath.

If there is reason to fear an attack, rest assured: we will make that clear.

Until then, keep calm, carry on and support Ukraine.

Let me explain Russia and Ukraine to MAGA in a language you might actually understand.🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦

Imagine you have a neighbor you don’t like and he doesn’t like you. One morning he doesn’t knock on your door. He kicks the fucking door down with a bunch of armed friends, shoots whoever tries to stop him, moves into your house, takes over half of it, abuses your family, kidnaps one of your kids and starts teaching that kid that your family never really existed and that the house actually belongs to him.

You fight back. You manage to push him out of some rooms, but he still occupies half of your house. Your friends start bringing you guns and ammunition because otherwise this motherfucker is going to take the rest of it too.

Then suddenly some guy from across town shows up and says, “Why are you so pro war? Why don’t you negotiate? People are dying. We need peace.”

So your neighbor offers you his brilliant peace plan: “I keep the rooms I already stole. I keep whatever I took from your family. You promise never to join the neighborhood security organization that might protect you from me. Your friends stop giving you weapons. And then I promise I won’t take the rest of your house.”

Would you call that peace? Would you hand him half of your fucking house?

Would you tell your wife and children that sacrificing them is necessary because fighting back is “pro war”?

Or would you load every fucking weapon you own and tell him to get the hell out of your house?

That is the part I cannot understand about MAGA.

The same people who tell me they would shoot somebody for stepping onto their property suddenly become fucking Gandhi when Russia crosses an international border with tanks, occupies Ukrainian cities, kills civilians, kidnaps children and then demands Ukrainian territory as the price of “peace.”

Russia can invent whatever excuses it wants about NATO, Nazis or Russian speakers. None of those excuses gave Russia ownership of Ukraine.

Peace is not the victim giving the attacker whatever he managed to steal.

That is cowardice and surrender.

And if you wouldn’t accept it in your own fucking house, stop demanding that Ukrainians accept it in theirs.

1. Expel all Russian diplomats. If they want to talk, pick up a phone in the Kremlin.

2. Ban all travel into Europe by Russians. They have the biggest country on earth. Maybe they should take a road trip. Watch out for long-range sanctions. Remember to fill up the tank.

3. Deport all Russians from Europe. They can vacation on the Black Sea by Putin's Dacha.

4. Designate Russia a terrorist state.

5. Challenge Russia's seat on the UN Security Council. The Soviet Union is dead. The Russian Federation is illegally on the Security Council.

.@satyanadella just put the whole "water" debate to rest.

Datacenters run on a closed loop cooling system, the water usage of a datacenter for an entire year is roughly equivalent to a usage of 1 restaurant!

Here’s what ChatGPT has to say about Wi-Fi Check:

Most “Wi-Fi problems” aren’t actually Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Check helps you instantly see whether the issue is your Wi-Fi, local network, internet connection, DNS, or even the application itself — directly from your iPhone/iPad.

Not just another speed test. It’s network truth.

[Gandalv @Microinteracti1]

Let me be precise about what is happening here.

Trump keeps saying “NATO wasn’t there when we needed them.” He says it like a grievance. He will keep saying it. Expect it at every rally between now and 2028.

Understand what he is actually doing. He is not venting. He is building a case.

Because he knows what Russia is planning for the Baltic states, and he is pre-loading the public argument for why Article 5 does not apply when that moment arrives.

“We asked, they refused.” That is the exit ramp. Simple. Memorable. Wrong, but effective.

Article 5 covers armed attacks against members in Europe or North America. It was never designed to cover offensive wars the United States chooses to launch in the Middle East.

Article 6 makes this explicit. The Americans insisted on that language in 1949 precisely so they could not be dragged into Europe’s colonial wars.

Trump is now furious at a clause his predecessors wrote. 

He called allies cowards. He told the United Kingdom to “build up some delayed courage.” He threatened France after Paris refused airspace for weapons bound for Israel.  None of this is anger. It is choreography.

NATO allies had no legal or treaty obligation to join this war. The United States was not the victim of an attack. It was the instigator.  What Trump is calling betrayal is allies reading the actual document.

Now to the harder question: can NATO hold without Washington?

Yes.

European members have every incentive to maintain the alliance, even in radically different form. Germany’s chief of defence has already ordered the military to be fully equipped by 2029, when Russian forces may have reconstituted sufficiently to test the eastern flank. That clock is running regardless of what happens in Washington.

European leaders have been forced to confront the need for a security architecture that can stand without the American pillar. That conversation was theoretical eighteen months ago. Iran made it operational.

The alliance survived the Suez crisis, when the United States humiliated Britain and France. It will survive this.

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

If Trump wanted NATO to go to war with him in Iran, maybe he shouldn't have threatened to invade and annex one ally, joked about making another 51st state, or irrationally slapped tariffs on them. He also should have asked for NATO's support before launching his war, not after.
