While Kyiv Burns, Trump Fails to Stop Putin’s War I am writing this newsletter from Kyiv, even as Russia hits this place with drones and missiles.

The russians killed around 20 people including elderlies who went to receive pension.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explain the Alaska Fiasco and how it marks the peak of Trump’s two-year betrayal of Ukraine. What was sold as “peace talks” turned into a spectacle of weakness, humiliation, empty promises, and photo-ops that handed Putin exactly what he wanted.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll explore how Russia is working with Iran, and how the recent Israel–US strikes on Iran could affect the war in Ukraine. Iran has been one of Russia’s key allies in their genocidal war, but in reality the partnership is deeply one-sided.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents.

What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

Even libertarians can't argue with that at this point. 🤷‍♂️
