There has never been less peace in the world than today. Last year was the worst year since World War II in terms of wars. This year is gonna be worse, next year even worse. Nobody cares about multilateralism anymore — everyone cares about national interest.

🇷🇸 Vucic: We are witnessing a world with no rules and no regulations. Big fish eat smaller fish — and they are not even hiding it anymore. We have two choices: join new empires, or protect our sovereignty and independence.

Hey #NAFO #Fellas - call to action. Let's make some noise about this.

This is Kyiv. Ukraine’s capital. An apartment building where the temperature is below 0. Where people live. Some of them can’t leave. (UNITED24)

Please stop yelling at my friend @radiofreetom.bsky.social. This is a clarifying and encouraging thread, and if I were still an opinion editor, I'd ask him to expand it into a column for me.

Officially | Announcement of the new #Syrian currency / #Syrian Lira

🇺🇦🧵 After Trump's "Putin wants Ukraine to succeed", we are now getting Lavrov's "We will reconsider our positions in negociations because Ukraine tried to kill Putin". Zelensky freshly returned from Florida swiftly denied the accusations & said they're a pretext for Russia to hinder negociations 1/

And here we have it. The Kremlin says Trump told Putin "the [alleged] drone attack on the residence of the Russian president would affect U.S. approaches in its dealings with Zelenskyy." #NeverTrustTerrorists

🤡❗️The Russian Federation will strike Ukraine's critical, defense, and energy infrastructure: the attack will be severe, says Russian State Duma deputy Andrey Kolesnik.

⚡️ Russia says it wants peace but orders new attacks. Putin told commanders to push offensives toward Zaporizhzhia.

😵‍💫🤬 Putin signed a decree on military conscription in 2026. According to the document, 261,000 new conscripts are planned to be called up during the year

What a coincidence. Just as Putin is speaking with Trump, Russia announces Ukraine tried to hit the war criminal's private home. "This is a lie" said Zelensky. "Russia wants to undermine progress in peace talks" He believes Russia's inventing excuses to justify an attack on govt buildings in Kyiv.

Host: Is there any indication that you see that Vladimir Putin wants peace by what he’s doing or saying? ​Zelenskyy: Me not, be honest. I don’t see it, I don’t hear it publicly. He doesn’t speak about peace. He says that he can go further. It is not the signal of peace.

IT'S NOT THE UKRAINE WAR. IT'S THE RUSSIAN INVASION youtube.com/shorts/BNWhg...

“Mr. President, do you anticipate going to Ukraine?” “I have no problem with doing it… I don’t anticipate it… I’d like to get the deal done and not necessarily go”

Just to assure folks out there that when my SWAMP THING collaborative partners of yore and I express concern at the takeover/acquisition of Warner Bros., "DC" (ahem) "IP" is indeed in their viewscreen.

☠️ The Economist: Russia lost 1% of its pre-war male population in Ukraine. In total, Russian losses in dead and wounded amounted to between 1 million and 1.35 million soldiers. Over the past three years, Russia has been able to occupy an additional 1.45% of Ukrainian territory.

It’s two o’clock in the morning. We just got electricity. I’m not sleeping because I need to charge the power banks, because the electricity might go out again. Meanwhile, russia is attacking us with missiles and drones.

Elon Musk and his Russian friends call for the abolishment of the EU

Russia unleashed a major missile and drone barrage on Ukraine overnight, after U.S. and Ukrainian officials said they’ll meet on Saturday for a third day of talks aimed at ending the nearly 4-year-old war.

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are tearing the Republican Party apart. Democrats can look at that and see it as a cause for celebration. The problem is that American Jews — and Jews all over the world — are the ones who will pay the price.
