Ukraine’s Second Miracle Year The war isn’t won, but for the first time in years, outright victory seems possible.

You forgot the language. A time will come when Americans will need to learn a foreign language if they want to be understood abroad.

Ukraine Has Finally Given Up on Trump Zelensky has written off the United States.

In the war against Russia, Ukraine is relying on its own strength more and more every day. "Writing the United States off as a friend might once have been a sign of doom for Ukraine. It isn’t anymore."

There are many reasons to believe that Orban's defeat will have major repercussions:
1. The foremost example of "illiberal democracy" has been voted out.
2. The Putin-Trump autocratic model has failed with Orban. More extremists are likely to be voted out - the US midterms! /1

1/6 🧵The Pope has put his finger on Trump’s greatest weakness on foreign policy. With his narcissistic delusion of omnipotence, he doesn’t understand how Great Powers maintain hegemony. Along with Hegseth he thinks it’s all a matter of brute force. Alliances, diplomacy & soft power are ‘woke’.

The other NATO members need to leave the organization and form the Ancient Mythical Alliance of No Donalds (AMAND)

He was wanted by Ilham Aliyev and now faces a real risk of torture.

Brzezinski predicting in 2012 the chaos that would ensue if the US started a war with Iran

That’s discriminatory..

Is the tide finally turning?

Ukraine's air campaign is expanding just as Russia is experiencing a lack of air defense interceptor missiles, as well as accuracy problems with the ballistic missiles it uses to attack Ukraine (likely due to Ukrainian attacks on Russian missile production sites).

I hope this statement is the end of Rubio in Europe:
1. Trump has insisted on annexing Canada & Greenland, which are part of NATO. That aggression is impermissible.
2. The main threat to European security is Russia's aggression against Ukraine & Europe. /1

Will Trump "Withdraw" From NATO? Probably Not Now: It Would Not Be In Putin's Interest

Phillips P O'Brien: Will Trump "Withdraw" From NATO? No. Because this is not what Putin wants him to do. He can maximize the damage to the Atlantic alliance by staying in it and rendering it incapable of action against Russia—which is exactly what he is now doing.

I’m not sure how much coverage this will get - Western news organisations are bored with Ukraine - but this attack was strategic. It may have severely affected the Russians’ ability to benefit from the removal of oil sanctions. It also demonstrates the Ukrainian’s ability to hit distant targets hard

You really have to laugh at the proponents of so-called “Western Civilization” being unable to defeat Persia

🚨 NATO Steps Into Ukraine for First Time During Full-Scale War

NATO military command, led by Adm. Pierre Vandier, arrived in Ukraine

Key discussions:
▪️ Ukraine joining NATO exercises as a “Red Team” adversary
▪️ Expansion of JATEC (NATO-Ukraine Training Centre)

NATO–Ukraine deeper integration.

Trump either:
- backs down & looks weak
or
- goes thru with it (war crime) & Iran hits desalinisation plants, completely crippling Gulf nation
In either event, Hormuz stays closed & oil & gas prices go up further, harming the entire global economy.

Wow. If I'm not mistaken, this marks the longest-range use of ballistic missiles in warfare to date. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Whatever the reason for Trump's personal interest in aligning the US with Russia, that interest is strong, has been consistent for many years, and never appears to have been related to China. The idea that the White House is interested in Russia because of China is not convincing.
