Why didn't the US win the war of attrition in Vietnam and Afghanistan? This rhetoric is the complement to this shitty policy of helping Russia.

Excuse me, but this is american exceptionalism, pure and simple.
Only Ukraine and EU+ can negotiate a peace agreement with, the US is not party to the conflict and is only a hinderance at this point.
The DSA can have any policy it wishes, it doesn't change the fact that the DSA is redundent.

This is the start of Thursday's daily🧵covering Ukraine's fight for its sovereignty + very existence

It's Day 1380 of the colonial war waged by Russia. Many are convinced we're close to a settlement, but how can you trust terrorists, particularly after breaking myriad promises?

He is also a Russian propagandist, chauvinist, and imperialist. This is a fragment of his conversation with Russian journalist Krasovsky, where he’s promoting outright nonsense.

Once Russia start withdrawing the whole house of cards will collapse. There will not be a middle way.

The only real solution of Europe's security challenge is the unconditional surrender and dissolution of the Russian Federation. Any other outcome will ensure continued conflict.

Good morning on Day 1379 of the war in Europe.

The day after the 'crunch' Moscow talks and... nothing's changed. Ukraine wants peace. Russia refuses.

Strangely, still no post from Trump on Putin's latest humiliation of US 'power'

It's the daily thread - still never missed a day!

One naive, reckless or stupid comment from Rubio was "Right now they are literally fighting over a territory of 30-50km, the remaining 20% ​​of Donetsk region"

No, Marco, we're fighting for justice, order, world peace. To finally stop the Moscow tyrant at the 4th time of asking

Sixteen years of fear, appeasement, and wishful thinking have brought us to this.

russia isn’t “seeking peace,” it’s openly threatening Europe with more war.

It wants to erase 🇺🇦, subjugate its people, and then move on to the next target.

Pretending otherwise is how wars grow.

Turning off the lights...

Trump’s Push to End the Ukraine War Is Sowing Fresh Fear About NATO’s Future The U.S.’s latest efforts to end the conflict between Ukraine and Russia have jolted the trans-Atlantic alliance.

Yeesh, it’s almost like the last few months were a con and the Trump administration was always out to weaken NATO….

Even I wasn’t pessimistic enough about how badly Trump was planning to screw Ukraine

The Trump admin has been quietly pressuring Europe to not seize the Russian billions for Ukraine. He fully intends to give it back to Russia and likely will find a way to profit himself.

Shame on America, and shame on Europe

Hello again - it's Tuesday's daily thread for Day 1378 of the full Russian invasion.

It's the day Russia will again pretend it wants peace as a woefully underqualified and historically ignorant US "envoy" meets Putin again.

No. of times Witkoff has been to:
Moscow: 6
Kyiv: 0

Keep in mind: Trump put tariffs on Ukraine and exempted Russia

Thing is, and Putin knows this, there will be continuous unrelenting killing of Russians and collaborators in these regions probably for the rest of our lives. He's once again signing away the peace and safety of this own citizens for personal reasons. Russians should riot for his defenestration.

Calm down. Nothing of this will happen! #Europe will never accept this Shitshow. All the bellyrubbing for Piggy is about that not only #Putin can play this Fiddle!
Wanna know what's really going on @ec.europa.eu ?
WE WILL TEAR RUSSIA TO SHRED!
If possible w.o. one Shot fired.
But they need Time..

Why Russia cannot help but invade The planned Trump-Putin summit in Budapest has been shelved. The White House says there's no point meeting unless "we're going to make a deal." Some view this as a setback for diplomacy, but it may we...

Russia will wage its genocidal war until the free world wakes up and helps Ukraine kick the invaders out.

The idea that a few men can sit around and piss in the wind and decide the fates of millions of people, trading land like marbles, because they feel like it is beyond absurd. Life should not be a board game. I know that’s actually how life works, but it’s infuriating, and we never learn.

It’s not hypothetical either. My relatives went through Holodomor. I grew up hearing about that and about WWII.

Putin signs decree formalizing Russification of occupied Ukraine through 2036 Document sets 95% "Russian civic identity" target for occupied populations by 2036

Let us hear the infamous story about the necessity of a “land swap” again..

These Ukrainians will be demoralized, tortured and men will be forced to fight on Russia’s behalf. Don’t be naive or romantic about it.

EU, the people you leave with Putin, will be forced to kill your citizens. Wake up.

A screenshot of a tweet by Andrew Desiderio reporting that Senators Roger Wicker and Jack Reed will conduct oversight into alleged “kill them all” orders related to SOUTHCOM operations. Below is an image of the senators’ joint statement, formatted as a black-and-white press release.

Whoever leaked this information served Hegseth up in a platter. Good.

Secretary of War Crimes might be more accurate….

Putin exploits our weakness and depletes our air defense on his terms. We've let a war criminal drag us into a boxing match and made him the referee. But if we stop being afraid to act, we can respond on our terms."

Great speech by European Parliament member Reinier van Lanschot (video from October 8):

"How many Russian drones did it take to shut down European skies? About five. How many drones are over Ukraine? About 500. Every night. If we face that, we're not prepared at all.⤵️

Andriy Yermak will not be going to a meeting in Miami because the Ukrainians are cleaning up corruption.

The Americans will still be sending Russian agents Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. The Trump regime has no intention of cleaning up its deep and intractable corruption.

🇪🇺🇧🇪 The EU is questioning Belgium over opaque use of taxes generated from frozen Russian assets, demanding clarity on whether those funds are reaching Ukraine, as promised. Diplomats worry Belgium may be keeping the money for itself, rather than forwarding all proceeds to Kyiv.

Even Biden critics must acknowledge this.

The Change From Biden To Trump Has Been Devastating For Ukraine And Why it is Important for the Direction of US Foreign Policy

Just sent out this free piece. Trump's 28 point plan put one thing in stark relief--and that was how much better the Biden Administration was for Ukraine than Trump's. There is no comparison. Biden was Ukraine's friend and Trump is not (he is Russia's). open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Just F.O.
