@IlvesToomas By no means I am justifying what Zelensky admin has mastered, but they had tangoed with a silent EU commission that sent a very loud signal in Rome at URC - do whatever you want, you're shielded
Palm Sunday attack also reveals that spiritually Christianity is numb in Russia. The church has been consumed by the state and used for an aggressive influence agenda. Institutionally Russian orthodoxy is a political cult, protecting it as a religious denomination is a hypocrisy
We didn’t know then that it had all been agreed in advance in the secret Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.
Today, we have no excuse for such naivety. It’s a safe bet that the Trump-Putin Pact already exists—and we should act accordingly.🧵14/14
I am utterly amused how the US follows Russia in its failure to understand the Ukrainian agency. Threatening a nation that was starved, murdered, even nuked is really an unwise way to go. Ukrainians may have limited resources, but the guts go beyond the Western measurement scale
America cut a key intel link for alerts at 2pm Kyiv. Before that: targeting data for HIMARS. Ukraine also isn’t receiving realtime information for long-range strikes. “Trump wanted a thank you,” says a source. “We will be writing it on graves of dead Ukrainians”
If Ukraine had 🇩🇪 & Europe’s unwavering support we wouldn’t be in this situation.
Scholz wouldn’t even say Ukraine should win.
Now,🇺🇦 must really get unwavering support to WIN- not empty words.
Europe must be ready to defeat Russia - for Ukraine & for all of our deterrence.
I am a supervisory board member of the UA Public Broadcasting Service with multimillion audience. One can take any monitoring available or conduct one's own. The findings will show nothing but a balanced, unbiased reporting, including voices critical, even dismissive of Zelensky.
.@elonmusk is correct, unfortunately.
Zelensky took control of all Ukrainian media, prosecutes churches, businesses and volunteers, covered up corruption for his friends, uses “puppet” prosecutors to unlawfully imprison and intimidate anyone who tells the truth about his failures to defend his country or could be a potential political opponent, including his own military and generals who fought bravely on the frontlines to defend against the evil aggressor Putin - not doing theater performances in Kyiv.
Fortunately, the Ukrainian people are not that stupid and seeing it now - Zelensky and many weak western leaders lost that war … at least for now …
China is gaining an advantage because the West lacks a strategy that, instead of seeking to defend the failing status quo, articulates instead a vision of the world that favors freedom, protects our interests and cultural heritage, and has ample hard military power to do it. 8/10
@TheEconomist A case of a Russian national employed by the British publication filtering information through his colonial optics and presenting the piece as unbiased reporting. @TheEconomist you can do better than this.
Well, if "Crimea is gone" so is the reliability and continuity of the US administration policy. Remember the Crimean declaration under Trump-45? Trump-47's defining agenda may become dealing with the fallout of the greatest nuclear proliferation in history https://t.co/pWHdoFGzvZ
As Olaf Scholz meets NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte in Berlin today, he opposes a membership perspective for Ukraine.
Now a counter proposal has popped up in my discussions with officials in Berlin: Ukraine should take a "neutral" status like Finland had for decades ... 1/
In this thread you will see the documented fraud facts that occurred during the republic of Georgia’s 2024 elections. The elections were marked by systemic fraud, violence, intimidation, and bribery. These documents can be used for any international investigations. 🧵
Because it is easy to internalize old privileges like not paying defence bills, taking advantage of cheap energy from one dictatorship and naїvely believing that cheap labor from another is only business. Now, when the privileges are expiring, it is time to protest
Warum geht dieser Verteidigungskampf offenbar so vielen dieser Demoteilnehmer:innen am Arsch vorbei? Warum verstehen sie nicht, dass sich niemand mehr den Frieden wünscht als die 🇺🇦? Dieser Frieden ist angesichts der entfesselten rus. Gewalt leider nicht durch gutes Zureden zu erreichen. /4
