Today they have crossed a deep red line.

We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Serbian academic, Ratko Ristić. He’s best known for engaging in pro-Kremlin, ultranationalist politics and propaganda while undermining business ties between Serbia and the EU.

US just lost about 10% of commercial fuel/petro logistic capabilities. To an incident that has some quite glaring qualities.

I don't often say BREAKING, but this qualifies.

how about we compromise

And these days, Trump is doing more for Putin than the Russian army…

Russia is repatriating weapons, military equipment & vehicles from Syria following Assad regime’s collapse: Russian Ministry Defense owned Oboronlogistika‘s, civilian crew operated Russian flag roro Sparta transits under the Great Belt Østbroen en route from Tartus to St. Petersburg.

All those folks who insisted Kremlin wanted Biden to win must feel really smart now.

Welcome to Turkey, President Zelenskyy: Ukraine Government Airbus A319 lands to Ankara Esenboğa.

No signs yet that Europe will step up. The whole concept of *post-war* peacekeeping troops is flawed. European troops are needed to help Ukraine fight off russian advances, not to enforce some mythical compromise solution that russia isn't offering and Trump's US isn't demanding.

RA-64532 Rossiya - Special Flight Detachment Tupolev Tu-214PU out of Moscow Vnukovo just landed Tehran Imam Khomeini. Very likely FM Lavrov is having a stopover in Iran on his way to Riyadh to meet with Rubio and special envoy Witkoff

For Europe, money is the easy part. The difficult part is committing to fight alongside Ukrainians if they are ever attacked again. That is what we will have to be ready to do, like it or not.

1. Rubio will get owned by Lavrov.

2. He will come out with some shitty deal that nobody would accept.

3. Trump & Putin will blame Ukraine when it’s rejected (“they don’t want peace, etc”).

4. Pro-Ukraine Rs in Congress will say nothing.

Egypt’s state grain buyer Mostakbal Misr has locked in enough wheat to meet the country’s needs through June, most of which was sourced from Russia: Russian flag handymax bulker Matros Pozynich transited Bosphorus en route from occupied Sevastopol to Alexandria carrying 27000mt of stolen wheat.

Egypt is the new destination for dumping stolen Ukrainian grain transported by Russian government entities using falsified manifests: Comoros flag bulker Damas Wave transited Bosphorus towards Black Sea after delivering stolen wheat from occupied Feodosia to Alexandria.

Once again I am leaving the Munich Security Conference in a low mood. Amongst all the noise, the US signalled their plans for Europe, so things are becoming clearer. But things are clearly not good.
This is what we now know, and what we have to do about it:🧵1/17

After the past days, when a close and trusted friend has thrown us and values we hold dear under the bus, it's time to rally and expand our support.

If you aren't already, Friday is a great day to sign up
