β€œThis is why I am convinced: if you offer only dry facts today, you lose.
Classical journalism β€” the kind taught in universities β€” does not hold up under these conditions. It was not built for this.”

Taking control over the narrative is essential; We must talk of Ukrainian VICTORY!

We don't ignore the genocide in Ukraine because we don't know.

We ignore it because we don't want the responsibility.

Admitting the truth forces a choice: intervene or admit you are letting it happen.

Looking away is just a way to be complicit without feeling guilty

Truth is under attackπŸ‘‡

"Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, these battles have intensified. Kremlin-aligned actors have systematically targeted articles related to Eastern Europe, the Soviet past, and contemporary political leaders."

The Treaty Is Dead. Relax. Arms control ends, constraints remain

"For the first time in more than 50 years, the world’s two largest nuclear powers will face no formal limits on their nuclear arsenals. (...) Nevertheless, it is highly unlikely that a new major nuclear arms race is looming, at least for now."

Orban declares Ukraine 'enemy' of Hungary Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticized Ukraine for calling on the EU halt imports of cheap Russian energy. "Anyone who says this is an enemy of Hungary, so Ukraine is our enemy," he said at ...

The #EU must treat the Orban regime as a direct security threat. He is working closely with Trump and Putin, both of whom have defined #Europe as their enemy.

On behalf of all Europeans, I demand immediate action;
Withdraw all EU funds, remove voting rights, do something!

Ukraine's 33rd Assault Brigade says it cleared Prydorozhne village alongside nearby Ternuvate. Both sit on the western bank of the Haichur River the current line of contact. Holding this line is critical – the next natural barrier is the Verkhnia Tersa River then Zaporizhzhia.

You don't put someone who blames NATO for Putin's war in charge of US intelligence.

..and you know I criticize that, which has followed me for a while.

But sometimes I experience that you think Europe is as bad as the USA, which is wrong. But from now on I will rather think that you think the US is a lost cause, and that Europe has greater potential to do something πŸ™‚

Agree that a portion of the "conservative" USA is lost in conspiracies and Russian propaganda. But many readers of our posts here are Americans. It is important that we secure the strongest possible support among ordinary Americans.

I agree that Europe is closer, and should do more...

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Zelensky: We don't have to choose whether we attack a military target or an energy target. He sells this energy. He sells oil. So is it energy or is it a military target? Honestly, it's the same. He sells oil, takes money, invests in weapons. He kills Ukrainians with these weapons.

The Long Ukrainian Winter How You Can Help

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help

You don't send the spy chief to raid voting machines if you plan to win a fair election.

Putin and Xi are enemies by default.

Trump, Musk, Thiel, and Vance are enemies by choice.

They are traitors who exchanged loyalty for leverage.

The American model is dead. Total lack of government oversight on ownership and publishing, results in censorship and foreign interference.

Regulation & Moderation is the way to ensure freedom of expression, and to avoid oligarchs & dictatorships poisoning the public knowledge base.
