French President Macron:
"Where Ukraine was eminently dependent on American intelligence capabilities by an overwhelming majority a year ago, today two-thirds are provided by France. Two-thirds."
Thank you France 🇺🇦🫶🇫🇷
The former Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin, explains that the only way the west can avoid decades of war with Russia is to assure that Ukraine pushes Russia completely out of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.
"There isnt any other choice"
🚨 JUST IN: John Bolton's neighbor has stormed out of his home with a "TRUMP IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE" shirt, and put Trump on blast to the media, after the FBI raid
"It's only gonna get worse if we don't do something! It scares the CRAP out of me!"
Secretary Hegseth fails to meet any standard for leadership we would expect of a new Lieutenant or a new Sergeant.
Hegseth fires general whose agency's intel assessment of damage from Iran strikes angered Trump https://t.co/2zGCiOA17y
The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump over the “vindictive” raid on John Bolton’s home:
“This is the kind of gratuitous viciousness that has increasingly defined Mr. Trump’s return to office… The real offender here is a President who seems to think he can use the powers of his office to run vendettas. We said this was one of the risks of a second Trump term, and it’s turning out to be worse than we imagined.”
No he hasn’t. The Kremlin has mocked you, the First Lady (nude pix on your Inauguration Day), and our Country (Lavrov wearing a Soviet Union sweatshirt to Alaska, Russia bombing an American business in Ukraine). Not “very respectful”. They fear no consequences from us.
A new statement from the family of Virginia Giuffre and several of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s accusers:
“It is with horror and outrage that we object to the preferential treatment convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has received. Ghislaine Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted minor children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency. Yet, without any notification to the Maxwell victims, the government overnight has moved Maxwell to a minimum security luxury prison in Texas. This is the justice system failing victims right before our eyes. The American public should be enraged by the preferential treatment being given to a pedophile and a criminally charged child sex offender. The Trump administration should not credit a word Maxwell says, as the government itself sought charges against Maxwell for being a serial liar. This move smacks of a cover up. The victims deserve better.”

Holy shit this is real Soviet/N. Korean style stuff. After the dismal jobs report Trump is going to fire people who compile the data and replace them with hacks. The markets and American people will never be able to trust these numbers again.
“Russia realizes it’s not just about taking territory. It’s about breaking a nation’s will—not the Ukrainians’, but ours. And will, once broken, is a very difficult thing to repair.”

🧠 “They have no idea” — The West is blind to war
🇩🇪 “I met with several U.S. senators… They clearly have no idea what's going on with Russia’s rearmament,” said Friedrich Merz after his visit to Capitol Hill.
According to Reuters, Russia has been running its military factories 24/7 since 2022, signing weapons deals with North Korea and Iran — and yet top U.S. lawmakers are blissfully unaware.
❗️This isn’t just negligence. This is strategic blindness.
While the Kremlin prepares for a long war, the West prepares Trump for photo ops. While Russia shifts to wartime economy, American senators can't even grasp the scale of the threat.
Merz is now the third European leader to personally plead with Trump not to abandon Ukraine. That’s not diplomacy — it’s desperation. The world should not be begging America to stay loyal to democracy.
📌 Ukraine is holding the line not just for itself. But we can’t stop a war machine while your politicians are living in fantasy land.
"My name is Eduard Bykov. I'm a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, I'm reaching out to @Apple with a request to add the Ukrainian language to Siri.
In April 2024, I was wounded, lost an arm and a leg, and I'm still unable to see. Currently, the only way for me to use my phone is through the virtual assistant Siri. Unfortunately, Siri doesn't support the Ukrainian language. This is a vital need for many Ukrainians.
Please share this video and tag Apple in the comments.
Glory to Ukraine!" 🇺🇦
Trump is unable to state that Russia is the attacker. (end of serious discussion).
Trump threatens sanctions against both russia & Ukraine = intent to divert US demands for sanctions on Russia.
Republicans in Congress are too cowardly to oppose Putin servant Trump.
