OTD in 1921 Soviet invasion of Georgia began. Less than a year before we signed a treaty with them promising we'd never invade.

Lying we won't & then invading anyway is a tradition I maintain to this day.

Apparently, Rubio got a standing ovation by the Munich Security Conference crowd for a cliched speech, while telling journalists the US is doing everything to end the "senseless" war in Ukraine. What the hell, Europeans? Think of your dignity for Chrissakes!

I want to ask you to take a moment and read this: there is no power station left in Ukraine that’s not damaged by Russian bombing.
Not one.

Thank you for your attention.

I can help : they are not

Colonial empires survive on projection of power, rather than actual power. This is one of the reasons why the European colonial empires collapsed after WW2. Russia has been good at pretending it is strong for a long time, but Ukraine proved it to be a mirage. Russia is weak and will lose the war

Secretary of State Rubio - child of immigrants from Cuba who came to the US in 1956, says migration disturbed “continuity of our culture and of our people”

‘Honestly, it was very painful to see how unfairly Ukrainians are treated, I cried and could not believe it all. This situation hurts me because my older brother is also a former athlete who is now protecting us on front lines.’ Oleksandra Mokh, Ukrainian luger shared on threads.

We live in a world where the IOC has no problems selling T-shirts with actual nazi propaganda, but bans a Ukrainian athlete for wearing a helmet commemorating athletes killed in Russia’s war against Ukraine. I just can’t anymore with this insanity anymore

It’s midday. Ukraine is under russian attack. Missiles explode as far west as Lviv.

This diagram is in Polish, but fairly easy to understand.

The upper section is U.S. assistance for Ukraine during the Biden and Trump admin

The lower is russian drone and missile attacks during the same time frame

Tell me more about how Trump's negotiations are working.

The trajectory from, “Trump will give Ukraine to Tomahawks to attack Russia” to “Trump has starved Ukraine of Patriots to help Russia” is the single greatest example of the failure of people to understand what Trump is and has always been.

En de belangrijkste les blijft: des te meer de conservatieve krachten radicaal rechts proberen te kopieren en ermee samen te werken, des te meer kiezers ze verliezen.

120.000 veteranen in Oekraïne leven met amputaties: "Als het vandaag vrede wordt, moeten we nog 10 jaar prothesen maken" | VRT NWS: nieuws Door de oorlog met Rusland telt Oekraïne al meer dan 120.000 veteranen met een of meerdere geamputeerde ledematen. Is het leven aan het front geen lachertje, dan is het leven ná het front dat ook niet...

Vreselijke prijs betaald door 🇺🇦 strijders voor de verdediging van hun vaderland tegen willekeurige 🇷🇺 agressie.

Fascistisch rusland blijft Oekraïense burgers terroriseren. Het Westen blijft “deeply concerned” toekijken

Zou er niet gewoon zo'n ouderwetse, grootse, avondvullende tv-actie moeten komen voor 'Help Oekraïne deze winter door'?

Goed idee, NPO?

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

It is devastating to see the aftermath of russian terrorist attacks.

But these images speak louder than words about what russia is doing to innocent people.

Don’t look away, speak out about war crimes, and help prevent them if you can:

Reading about the collective meltdown coming out of russia because their #Starlink access is being throttled.

"second army of the world" —the one that spends every waking hour threatening to "destroy" the West was one "Terms of Service" violation away from total silence, geopolitical clownery

In 2014, when Russia invaded Ukraine and illegally annexed Crimea, the Obama and Merkel mantra that "There is no military solution to the conflict" was unshakeable. After a full twelve years of war and genocide, the world is STILL pushing a version of this depraved nonsense.

Pinned lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Aug 19, 2021 Almost three years ago, my editor called me early one November morning. A wildfire had sparked near a town called Paradise, he said. Could I go? (1/13) 0:02 / 0:10 lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · 47m I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated. Quote lizzie johnson @lizziejohnsonnn · Jan 25 Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp.

A publisher who lays off a reporter whose pen is freezing because she's covering a frigid war zone while dodging missiles is not an editor you want to work for, in a more perfect world

Russia breaks Trump-brokered energy ceasefire Kremlin bombs Ukrainian power plants and energy infrastructure right before latest round of peace talks begin in Abu Dhabi.

Russia broke an energy truce brokered by U.S. President Donald Trump after just four days today, hitting Ukraine’s power plants and grid with more than 450 drones and 70 missiles.

Doe ook als Claudia de Breij, en doneer nu voor generatoren voor Ukraine. Ze zijn er binnen een week en maken echt het verschil: vvodiel.nl/doneren/. Reposten is lief.

Fascist russia does not want peace. Ukrainians have known this for years, if not decades or even centuries. Nevertheless, too many Western politicians, journalists and experts keep fantasizing about this russian desire for peace

Putin has continued bombing civilians every day including last night. bsky.app/profile/atru...

This is one of Ukraine’s thermal power plants after a russian attack last night.

Energy workers keep bringing heat back from ruins — again and again, through exhaustion — so people can survive the winter.

Russia keeps returning to destroy it in a moment.

The harm caused by Elon Musk is not talked about enough.

His DOGE-led cuts to USAID are projected to kill millions of people.

That is more than all post-WW2 wars the US has been involved in combined.

And he didn't even save money.

He needs to be held accountable
