After a decade of Russia's current "cognitive" operation against NATO, many still haven't caught on. It's not a conspiracy theory when Russia's dictator tells you what's he's doing! Yet people choose ignorance.

Putin bombed a Baptist Church in Ukraine last night. Ten victims so far including the pastor, Ruslan Utuzh. His daughter is to wed next month. Putin has killed as many as 80 pastors and priests and destroyed more than 700 churches. He targets evangelicals disproportionately.

12 yrs ago Russia invaded & occupied 20% of Ukraine.
4 yrs ago Russia began a full-scale assault. Today, at the cost of 1.25 million Russian casualties, they've gained another 1% of territory.

Trump's Justice Department is in possession of thousands of videos of children being graped by wealthy and powerful men.

Those men WERE being blackmailed by Epstein. But by not releasing their names, these men must now be loyal to Trump to protect their identities.

Trump is now using Epstein's secret recordings to blackmail the most powerful people in the world so they remain loyal to him.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Trump: "Some very good things happening on Ukraine and Russia. Very good things."

Very good things? Like the humanitarian disaster they caused in Kyiv? Today’s attack on the passenger train in Kharkiv region, or the bombing of a residential building in Odesa? WHAT GOOD THINGS?

Yes, NATO is dead now.

And the final nail in its coffin was driven by the biggest useful idiot the Kremlin and Beijing have ever had in the history of the Western world.

He did it out of his megalomania, ultra-vulgarity, his hunger for the easiest money and the cheapest attention, shallowness, ignorance, and an addiction to self-glorification in front of TV cameras, which has long since crossed into madness.

He did it out of sheer amorality, too: an insatiable urge to humiliate, humiliate, humiliate those who depend on him, for nothing but petty self-affirmation -- while groveling before powerful and criminal enemies, just to get a scrap of their approval and feel like he belongs among the big bad guys.

But his is not the end. It is the beginning of a new alliance in a new world, a change that has been overdue for far too long.

The nations that remain faithful to the values of the free world will stay together.

And now, on the front line of that defense, stands Ukraine, with unmatched experience of the warfare of a new era, and a military exceptional in its resilience and heroism against one of the largest and most relentless war machines in human history.

Now it is time to GET FREAKING SERIOUS and truly unite around a European, Euro-Atlantic Ukraine: to help it, and to learn from it, and to absorb its priceless experience and inventions for the collective defense of the democratic West.

The arsenal of democracy is here now.

And the scariest part is that everyone around him, of course, understands that he’s losing his mind and that these daily schemes are outright insane and dangerous.

And yet, everyone is trying to use the chaos for their own purposes: some are scrambling to outdo each other in pleasing him with an adventure that will flatter his fragile ego, feed his mania for grandeur, and promise the illusion of quick, easy profit -- especially if it also offers a chance to humiliate one of America’s friends.

Others, knowing exactly how to manipulate him, are simply trying to be the last person to get access to his ear and whisper their own ideas.

Everyone understands this is their chance to win the internal power struggle, move to the front, become the favorite, stand out -- because this won’t last long, and they need to rack up points while they still can.

Real talk. I have trained Ukrainian troops for three years straight, and saying we “owe them nothing” is not just wrong, it is dangerous.

People forget very quickly. Ukraine stood with us in Iraq and Afghanistan. They sent troops, bled beside our soldiers, and never asked for anything in return. They did it because they believed in the West, in democracy, and in the idea that free nations stand together.

And now, for four years, Ukraine has been fighting the enemy that has openly wished death on the United States many times. The same enemy that still keeps nuclear weapons pointed at every major American city and every piece of critical infrastructure we depend on. How anyone can say that their fight has nothing to do with us is beyond me.

This kind of talk is exactly what Americans were saying before World War Two. We called it “not our war.” We insisted Europe’s problems were not our problems. Yet we still sent equipment. We still had volunteer pilots fighting for the United Kingdom. And it took Pearl Harbor to finally wake us up and show us that isolation and indifference were mistakes that cost countless lives.

When will we learn that in the world we live in today, everything is connected. There is no isolation. Not when dictators are reshaping borders by force. Not when war criminals hold nuclear stockpiles. Not when democracies fall one by one if no one helps. Appeasement does not stop tyrants. Appeasement encourages them.

I have trained thousands of Ukrainian soldiers. I have watched them fight for their land, their families, and frankly for the rest of us. To pretend that their struggle does not affect the United States is to ignore every lesson history has ever taught us. The red line where this “becomes our problem” was crossed a long time ago. Thinking otherwise only helps the people we should be standing against.

This kind of thinking is not realism. It is the beginning of another disaster we will regret later.

If America actually wants stability and peace, we cannot abandon a nation fighting the front line of that global struggle.

We either help now, or we will pay a heavier price later.

Ukraine should accept no limits on its sovereignty that have not been accepted by other European countries. If it’s forced to do that, it will be accepting second class citizenship in Europe and the principle that Russia can treat it as a state with inferior rights.

Hi All, Just sent out this free piece. The controversial Bloomberg piece is the perfect example of why we must stop making excuses for Trump. Trump has reconfirmed that Witkoff was doing what he wanted and has reconfirmed that Witkoff is soon off to Moscow to represent the USA

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

Tucker Carlson: What do you think of Putin?

Witkoff: I liked him. I thought he was straight up with me…I don't regard him as a bad guy.

[Maksym Borodin @adnashmyash]

God bless technological progress and video archives!

Here's almost four minutes of Putin's evolving statements from 2008 to 2024:

2008: "Crimea is not disputed territory of Ukraine, and the issues of Russian speakers are internal issues of Ukraine."

2013: "Russia certainly doesn't plan to send troops into Ukraine."

2014: "After the annexation of Crimea, Russia doesn't plan to further divide Ukraine."

2019: "It's nonsense that Russia plans to attack anyone in future."

2022: "Russia's Special Military Operation does not involve the occupation of Ukrainian territories," and "Russia has acquired new territories during the Special Military Operation."

2023: "The conflict in Ukraine is not a territorial conflict—we have plenty of own territories."

2024: "Anyone who wants Russia to give up CONQUERED TERRITORIES in Ukraine must understand that this is impossible."

2024: "Could Russia attack Poland or Latvia? That's nonsense." Why do we need this?

2024 "Russia has no plans to attack NATO..."

How stupid do you have to be to not understand that negotiations and promises don't work with a lying and hypocritical dictator?
All he and Russia understand is strength and the ability to deliver a real rebuff to Russia's imperialist dreams!
