BlueSky allows video posts now? Great! Hereโ€™s a video about why Mark Carney is so qualified to be PM in Canada.

Sir, Iโ€™ve heard a lot of Ukrainians asking why your interview with Illia Ponomarenko filmed in 2022 was never released. Many of them have apparently been getting blocked by you on X.

Did you ever put out a public statement on this? People are confused as to why you withheld it. Can you clarify?

Are you talking about the guy on Piers Morganโ€™s show the other day? Lol

They would have to reinforce their naval base from the Baltic Sea.

This gives Trump + Turkey + Ukraine a lot of leverage against Russia. It could be the start of the end of the war.

If the rebel forces make it to Homs, Damascus will be cut off from Russiaโ€™s naval base at Tartus.

If they then turn West, Russia cannot take its warships out of the Black Sea under the Montreux Convention laws while at war with Ukraine.

Idk if Bluesky likes people posting X links.

Theyโ€™ve taken notice. Donโ€™t let Kremlin bots dominate the comments, and tank this opportunity.

If you still have an active X account, please amplify Klitchkoโ€™s address to Rogan. His English is great and he has a chance to get on his show and counter disinformation.

North Koreans are entering Ukraine. Not just Kursk.

@realjakebroe.bsky.social did such a great job here. Even on the Nord Stream attack. What a hero. Give him a follow.

Whatโ€™s the best place to learn more about all this, Michelle?

Someone needs to go through and archive every single mention of Ukraine or Russia that David Sacks has made. They will not age well. He will eventually try to delete them.

It was shocking when I first got on X but has made me basically completely immune to criticism now. X trolls are like a vaccination. You canโ€™t clap back at them because theyโ€™re all anonymous and youโ€™re not, but NAFO does a good job fighting fire with fire sometimes and taking care of it.

Why is the New York Times on one of those. Yuck!

Iโ€™m just glad NAFO exists. You guys made an impact to online discourse in aggregate.

Yea, tbh, I wasnโ€™t as engaged back then. I remember thinking Poroshenko seemed like the better choice and was surprised to have some extended family say they were against him. I think a lot of young people also voted against him. I watched the debate but it was hard to follow the nuance from abroad

Voters who wanted the pro-Russian candidate (Yuriy Boyko) in the 1st round in the Eastern region subsequently chose Zelensky over Poroshenko.

That means that Zelensky was chosen by the more pro-RU voters in Ukraine.

Why?

Poroshenkoโ€™s popularity in the 2014 election (Western dominant) vs Zelenskyโ€™s popularity in 2019 in the 1st/2nd round (South and East dominant).

Looking back at historical elections, it seems the pattern is that Western Ukraine picks the candidate with the better policy for defence.

Canโ€™t upload my latest clip of Sam Nunn because itโ€™s over 60 seconds. Annoying. Still not at parity on some critical things with X.
