Why is the American president repeating Russian threats without comment?

Oh

Anyone feel like Trump is deliberately kicking the can down the road so that Putin has time to take more land in the north of Ukraine. Russians are currently advancing in Sumy.

I'm shocked

Regarding halted US intelligence: how much of this can be plugged by Europe and how much is only available to the US?
I saw somewhere that Himars data was being restricted, which implies that Ukraine cannot fire them independently. Does that mean Himars is essentially offline now?

Now US & Shcolz are out, we need a European commitment to Ukraine winning. We also need a strategy & to commit the necessary resources. We need wartime production of certain arms, like artillery, IFVs, tanks, & missiles.
We need the EU to create & operate enablers, like satellite intel & ISR.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people.

Be strong, be brave, be fearless.
You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy.

We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

There were certainly signs

We held back Putin’s invasion for several weeks while Russia slaughtered over 25,000 predominantly Russian speaking Ukrainians including women and children.

🗣️They're (Trump-Putin) pushing for elections in Ukraine, to help Putin achieve his dream of replacing Zelenskyy. And since Zelenskyy refused to sign the "minerals deal" Trump is all in. They both want to install their own candidate who will sell out Ukraine so they can divide the spoils.

Trump is now repeating russian talking points and saying this is his own position. What we're witnessing isn't a negotiation but the Trump administration's attempt to reset the US-Russia relationship into an imperialist partnership.

I agree that support has slowly increased, but it always feels reluctantly. If Zelensky says that Ukraine doesn't have much chance without the US, I'm inclined to believe him.

It's pretty clear that we do, and have done since WW2. Our collective economies are much greater than Russia but our military is not. From my own perspective, the British military has been hollowed out over recent years/decades.

I write this as a British person. We can't rely on the US for our own security, that time has been and gone.

How's that? We should depend on the U.S.?

EU and UK need to pull their fingers out their arses and stop depending on the U.S. for their own security.

ZELENSKYY: The risk that Russia will occupy Europe is 100 percent


WELKER: If the US pulls out of NATO, Russia will occupy Europe?

ZELENSKYY: Yes

USAID was founded by JFK in 1961 as a key mechanism to fight the Kremlin.

By providing aid to countries to strengthen their economies & governance, it prevented them falling under Soviet influence

The Kremlin has wanted USAID destroyed ever since.

And now their man is in power.

Trump’s Diversion Tactics Stay Focused on the Hostile Takeover of the U.S. Government

As infuriating and outrageous as Trump’s latest comments on annexing Gaza are, he is a master of distraction. He deliberately throws out incendiary statements, knowing they will dominate the headlines and divert attention from his dangerous actions at play—in this case, a power grab.

Seems he knows the difference, after all.

What do we think of Elon Musk on the streets of Britain 🇬🇧

Thank you kindly. What a lovely welcome to Bluesky I've had! 💙💛

Hello there! I've had a lovely welcome to Bluesky from the fellas! Good to see you all again!

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Venezuelan bus driver, politician and dictator, Nicolás Maduro. He’s best-known for ruining Venezuela, turning it into a dictatorship, and for collaborating with other authoritarian regimes like Russia, Iran and Belarus.

Amazing, thank you!

Finally joined Bluesky after Zuck's latest antics and my desire to ultimately detach myself from Meta.
