OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss. A dictator sent his army over the border & later had illegal referendum with rigged result that violated numerous treaties. The West expressed only “concern” which turned out not to be enough to prevent war….
Imagine that happening today.
HERO vs ZERO
I'm in a state of shock & still trying to process yesterday's shameful, traitorous debacle in the WH: A DAY THAT WILL LIVE IN INFAMY. Our standing in the world has plummeted overnight, but the repercussions will be felt forevermore.

We're used to seeing this type of propaganda coordination in Russia, and with all the Russia sycophants around the world.
So to see this choreographed praise of dear leader in America adds a stomach-turning coda. As I wrote today, Trump isn't just fawning, he's imitating Putin.
I am an American veteran and I stand with the heroic people of Ukraine. And the incredibly courageous President Zelensky.
And with American values, honor and integrity.
And with #AmericanVeteransForUkraine.

Craig Unger, an American journalist and writer who has written two books on Trump’s connections to Russia, says he is "absolutely certain" that the U.S. president is a Russian asset.
The Kyiv Independent sat down with Unger to hear what makes him so certain.
I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.
Don't compare Trump to Neville Chamberlain. Chamberlain did not personally like the dictator he dealt with. Chamberlain did not staff his ministry with pro-dictator enthusiasts. Chamberlain was not helped into office in the first place by that dictator. From Churchill's eulogy:
Highly recommend "Ukraine: The Latest podcast". Link below with guest Dr Robert Person from West Point "Putin has been trying to decapitate the democratic government of Ukraine and install a puppet government for the best part of 20 years". Very insightful www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8Lg...

Lawyers for Liz Truss have asked me to stop saying Liz Truss crashed the economy. I only said Liz Truss crashed the economy because Liz Truss did crash the economy. If she wanted me to not say Liz Truss crashed the economy, she shouldn’t have crashed the economy.
Please don’t share.
In 2021, US F1 team Haas was only too happy to accept millions of Nikita Mazepin's dad's blood money to put the asshole in their car.
Haas Automation has also been accused of supplying CNC machines to Russia, used for weapons manufacturing, in breach of sanctions.
Decisive actions are needed urgently to close these loopholes and make collaboration with Putin’s regime unsustainable. Not just the oligarchs but their families and people from their inner circle must be sanctioned.

This is good news. Sanctions should be deployed a lot more against these kind of scumbags
In the end, people want to be led by folks that show moral leadership and do the right thing. For the past 2 years, the EU has been the opposite of that, with deeds that fall far short of all the words and endless sanctions packages. The EU needs an overhaul. And new leadership.
The West should be putting Ukraine in the best possible position to demand Russia's total and unconditional military and political defeat.
They threaten to jail her.
Does she look scared or confused to you?
She is so clearly rejoicing in history in making, fully comprehending her role in it, and feeling the ever-increasing public gratitude and love. 1/
Our European and American partners must now give a form of tangible pressure to their condemnation of the Georgian Dream, based on the demands of the public and the OSCE/ODIHR report. That is the new elections, without which the crisis will only deepen, and Russia will only gain. 1/2
Really
Maybe the solution is to air drop tonnes of vodka onto the russian frontlines

Release the unlawfully detained and tortured; schedule new, free and fair elections. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests
Had to update bio on free speechland 😤

A mother on her knees, whose child was taken away to be tortured by Ivanishvili's riot police.
#TerrorInGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests
Protesters that escaped the ambush blocked the embankment and are clashing with the Titushky (regime thugs); escaping people are being tracked with the help of drones. Tonight might be when Tbilisi Mayor Kaladze wants his Christmas tree set up. #terrorinGeorgia #GeorgiaProtests
The EU raised €750 Billion to mitigate COVID. Russia’s menace is no less serious
From the Parliament outlook towards the Opera, if the horizon is full of people, that’s an insane number. And we are having insane numbers for the 6th day in a row now. These people are sleepless, gassed, beaten, exhausted. But determined for freedom. #GeorgiaProtests
Peskov confirming that it’s unacceptable for Russia to be put in a position where they can’t invade Ukraine at will in the future.
