Arnold Schwarzenegger eviscerated Trump for his pathetic submission to Putin โ€” and heโ€™s right.

โ€œMr. President Trump, you stood there like a little white noodle, like a fanboy.โ€

While Ukraine is invaded, its people slaughtered, Trump grovels before a dictator. That isnโ€™t leadership. Itโ€™s betrayal.

So the pro-Russian narrative is:
Thankfully the SMO can continue and the death and destruction is on Ukraine and Europe.

๐Ÿ˜… I can imagine!
I found the Ben Nevis hike to the top (Scotland and also the UK's highest mountain) not too steep. Maybe in effort equal to the Quiraing Hike if I remember correctly, but without the "level" bits.

Photos are breathtaking! So I have to imagine what it's like in real life...
I covered most of Skye and most of the rest of Scotland, but didn't make it here, thanks for sharing!

If youโ€™ve found my takes useful: on #Ukraine, russian fascism, or #PeaceThroughStrength, consider reposting or adding me to your starter pack.

Each time the world reaches out, Putin answers with missiles.

Russiaโ€™s escalating attacks on Kyiv show that Moscow doesnโ€™t want peace.

Air defence systems and missiles are scarce everywhere.
But Ukraine needs them now, every single day, to protect its people.

My cousin went down the horrible dark rabbit hole of the hardcore MAGA's. He tried to convince me using Rumble that the West is the aggressor - Oliver Stone etc.
Their logic is truly sick - they want the West to collapse and be replaced by hardcore MAGA-like white christian-nationalist dictators.

I created a Rumble account and will follow Prof there.
As a centrist - what a shocking and poisonous arena Rumble is!

My comments in Rumble will be subtle - if there is any hope to reach the lost soles it will be through showing empathy, not criticism.

This video summaries so well where the US is politically and what may save it.

Let Russia waste their resources on poorly planned and executed retaliation attacks.

The only way to stop Russia is woth brute force.

Fuck escalation fears.
Fuck Russia!

I am sorry that this is happening. My thoughts are with Ukrainians every day.

I hope Russia wastes their resources on poorly planned retaliation attacks.
Unfortunately the only way to stop Russia is by brutal force.
Fuck escalation fears!
