Russia doesn't just steal land.

It also steals childhood from children living under occupation and militarization.

China not really - they're ripping Russia off. Trump maybe.

Stay calm and go vote / mobilize others. The more real voting, the more difficult to steal.

Putin's Internet Crackdown Is Rooted in Weakness and a Need to Demand Greater War Sacrifices The Kremlin has approached a point where military, economic, and societal costs from the war in Ukraine are forcing hard decisions for Putin.

Tomorrow, many of you will think of Ukraine.

As Ukraine faces pressure to accept capitulation, remember: there will be no peace without justice.

We owe justice to every innocent life taken by russia's war.

For every fallen defender. For every murdered civilian. For every atrocity committed.

And that physical HQ needs to be in Frankfurt.

Hugo Dixon makes an excellent point: move frozen Russian assets, including associated liability, out of Belgium into full control by the European Union.
Eliminate any Russian threats & subversion which has turned weak Belgium into a deer in the headlights.

Again - we do criticize our own politicians for caving to Trump, no worries. But reproaches from US that our politicians didn't challenge your elected nonsense are inappropriate.

You have to understand the whole world is exasperated to deal with the consequences of US elections. Imagine Ukrainians having to put up with US bullshit. EU countries managing Trump not to ally himself openly with Putin. Blaming others that WE didn't enforce your constitution adds insult to injury.

Were these tariffs applied or not? Were they charged to importers and customers? Were they collected by customs? Did they shape foreign trade? For the rest of the world, this is an exogenous constraint, they were de facto the enforced US policy, dictated by one man only.

I don't draw the wrong conclusions and am aware many US citizens don't support Trump / didn't vote for him. However, it's utterly inappropriate to blame "allies" for not enforcing your own Constitution.

And yes, the degree to which your Constitution is being adhered to is a matter for Americans. The rest of the world only notes Americans had no issue voting back in power a low life character who attempted a violent coup.

Because your allies don't know how to manage US when they see Americans themselves have little objection to being ruled by a madman. It is outright shocking that no institution in the US could stop Trump from imposing arbitrary tariffs for almost 11 months. Still, Trump's support remains almost 40%.

There is no reason to believe Trump's foreign policy is designed to benefit America or Americans

Zelenskyy: I know that Americans, and maybe some Europeans, are discussing a new document with Russia, between NATO and Russia. When they have such a document, they can discuss everything. But for me, it's important that they discuss our potential place in NATO with us. Not just with the Russians – with us. Because it's about us. But they might do it also without us. Maybe we don't know something. In any case, we will react to surprises if they happen.

Marco Rubio's Munich Speech Should Not Assuage Europe - Policy Magazine U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s Valentine's Day speech at the Munich Security Conference should do nothing to mollify a Europe still aghast over Vice

"Europeans who found comfort in the misdirection perpetrated in Munich that all is well in the transatlantic alliance may find themselves slowly losing not only their reassurance, but also their dignity."

The Ukraine War Grows Deadlier More civilians are dying now than when Biden was president

12 trillion is about 6 times Russia's GDP.

Whose, not who's.

I am a Ukrainian Nobel Peace Prize Laureate. I have a question.

Why has Trump's year of negotiations been the deadliest for civilians in Ukraine since the full-scale invasion? The number of deaths and injuries has increased by 31 percent compared to the previous year.

They closed the CIA World Factbook and deleted it entirely.

UNITED24 — The initiative of the President of Ukraine The official fundraising platform for collecting donations to support Ukraine

Luckily the call is not theirs, it's Ukraine's. What the rest of us can do is support Ukraine directly to defeat Russia. u24.gov.ua

So if voting doesn't matter why is Trump hellbent on rigging it?

Sounds like the old Russian joke: Dad, if the vodka got more expensive does it mean you will drink less? No son, it means you will eat less

Did I get this right: the info is so sensitive for national security that they in effect did absolutely nothing about it for months, not even tell Congress?

The russian energy ceasefire at its best is shaking the entire Ukraine now.

Of course, let's give russia Ukraine's fortified towns of Donbas and russia won't attack any more, we have their word! All russia wants is Ukraine to succeed.

What if they simply just didn't vote for the woman? 🤣

Plus some weapon machinery

In the Pavlohrad district, near Dnipro, Russian Shahed operators attacked a civilian bus. After the first strike, injured civilians were visible exiting the bus. A second drone was then deliberately guided onto those people.

This was a conscious act of terrorism.

430th day of protest dedicated again to Georgia's controversial education reform.
