“Anyone you talk to about a potential Taiwan contingency, they’re all going to tell you the same thing: that it wouldn’t just be a war between China and Taiwan, it would involve the entire world. 1/

“The reason the international situation has transformed in Chinese interests is bc US & Russia have made the Chinese seem stronger, more stable & perhaps even more reliable than they are. The leadership choices of Trump & Putin have weakened their countries in precisely the best ways to help China.”

Dear POTUS -- how come you haven't been bombing Russia since Putin has been killing Christians in Ukraine for 4 years?

Trump real estate investor pal w business ties to Russia despite no foreign policy/govt experience. Leaks due to Fuckwitkoff’s refusal to use secure comms prove he’s in Putin’s pocket. Met Putin w/out State Dept officials or own interpreter; hugged Putin. Views war as impediment to business deals.

“Zelensky said he expected to meet Trump on Sunday to focus on a US-brokered 20-point peace plan & separate proposals for US security guarantees. However, a senior Russian official said that plan was ‘radically different’ to the one it was negotiating with Washington.” russia is not going to agree

“The ideas are very powerful. They’re talking about liberty, about equality, about opportunity, freedom from oppression. The American revolutionary movement served as a model around the world.” — Ken Burns’ The American Revolution Where is this spirit in America now? #DemandTrumpMustResign

Trump is extorting the International Criminal Court. “A French ICC judge spelled out the impact of US sanctions: “All my accounts with US companies, Amazon, Airbnb, PayPal & others, have been closed. I booked a hotel in France through Expedia & a few hours later, the reservation was cancelled.”

“Trump deploys the sheer size of the US market to extort not just money from allies, but changes in their domestic policy. A country’s standing is not judged by any rational criteria, let alone its democratic status, but on a leader’s personal relationship to Trump and his ruling clique.”

“A product of US retreat from the post-WWII order is open discussion of acquisition of nuclear weapons. There’s public debate in Japan, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia. This is a product of the reduction of the US security umbrella that will have enormous consequences in terms of proliferation.”

“If you think of America First in the late 1930s—where the term came from—had Roosevelt not coaxed America into intervening in WWII, what would the world have looked like? What if America Firsters had won the 1940 election? Would we be safer had we let Hitler march through Europe unchallenged?” 1/2

“Trump was elected on the idea that we are going to refocus on America. But what they’re really missing is that abdicating our leadership on the world stage does not make us stronger. And it’s actually not in the interest of American values, American national security, and American leadership.”

“If it’s about making America great again, we’re going absolutely in the opposite direction.”

“The US retreat from the post-WWII order that served US interests remarkably well—national security, trade & economic interests, keeping peace in Europe, keeping sea lanes open—if you were sitting in Moscow or Beijing, this would be the top of your wish list. And it’s been granted voluntarily.”

🇺🇸👀 Democrats have urged Donald Trump to reverse the mass recall of U.S. ambassadors, warning that the move is creating a dangerous diplomatic vacuum that benefits Russia and China. The Trump administration has ordered nearly 30 career diplomats to return to Washington.

“Cannon ruled on the first full day of Trump’s second term that Jack Smith’s report would remain confidential in order to protect the rights of Trump’s co-defendants. It remained sealed long after the charges against them were dropped, negating her reasons for keeping it confidential.”

“Being able to define fascism is the first step in increasing our resilience to it: attempt to create an ethnically-‘pure’ nation; engagement of a paramilitary force; use of excessive violence; anti-liberal, anti-democratic sentiments; the involvement of wealthy backers from the economic elite.” 1/4

“Ukraine sends its best & brightest. [Voice breaks] Top business people, great artists right now serving, musicians, writers, great talent of Ukraine fighting. We lose every day someone who would have written a poem, book, song, made an artwork that would have touched everybody in Ukraine & beyond.”

“The Museum of Russian Arts in Kyiv has the third-best collection of Russian art in the world. I’ve got a brilliant idea to stop the war: you put all the Russian pictures in one pile. Take a flamethrower & say, Mr Putin: either you stop or else the pictures get it. And I think even he might react.”

“A Russian missile struck next to the plane mid-flight, causing critical damage. The damaged aircraft was not allowed to land at any Russian airport, forcing it to cross the Caspian Sea and towards Kazakhstan.” russia is nothing less than evil.

This scandal is proving to be nothing less than a fractal of sub-scandals.

“It is necessary to deal w criminals. It is immoral & dangerous to absolve & reward them. Yet this is how Trump’s peace plan treats Putin’s Russia. In the plan’s morally-inverted universe, there is no distinction bw perpetrator & victim, aggressor & defender, militarised dictatorship & democracy.”

This is what I don’t understand. I don’t know where the fuck everyone is either. I honestly thought Trump and his evil stooges would have been taken out by the military by now. I’m kind of shocked actually. We’ve always claimed to be the most powerful country, but nobody has any balls. NOBODY!!

We need a clear strategy for victory for Ukraine For example, ‘Ukrainian victory without Russian societal collapse’ This allows alignment of diplomatic, military, economic & influence streams It enables procurement, intelligence & sanctions to work together

Americans, you've allowed a lunatic in power & it's your responsibility to get rid of him He's set conditions for a russian war in Europe within 4 years & Americans will be drawn in & lose lives Mount sustained nationwide protests #DemandTrumpMustResign until he does You need 12 million people ✨

American social media platforms are banned in Russia. Have you noticed Donald isn't sanctioning anyone over that?

“Jeffrey Epstein’s brother Mark Epstein via email submitted a tip to the FBI in 2023 claiming he believes Epstein was murdered because he was prepared to name names. According to the FBI intake document, Mark Epstein alleged that the killing was authorised by Donald Trump.”

”X is a toxic media platform & (...) its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse,” news media The Guardian said in a statement announcing it would no longer be posting on the platform. Leave X Now #DeleteYourXAccount #BoycottTesla #Musskolini Thread 1/4🧵

What’s most clear from the draft ‘peace’ plan is the coercion the US has been endeavouring to exert on Ukraine — and not on russia. Bearing in mind the US is cutting off international banking and even Microsoft access to the ICC and foreign diplomats. Like the organised criminals they are.

“The reason Trump’s people are so sure Merrick Garland would have done that is because they think everybody’s as corrupt as they are. They can’t conceive of a world in which the DOJ should be independent.”

“Take what’s in these documents, and then think to yourself, there's a bunch of stuff they’re keeping back. Like this isn’t even the bad stuff. This is the stuff they think they can get around.”

The Russian Foreign Ministry is evacuating the families of diplomats from Caracas, the capital of Venezuela, the Associated Press reports, citing European intelligence sources. The official told The Associated Press the evacuations include women and children and began last week,

These are the tactics of organised criminals. America is a rogue state.

I cannot adequately articulate how profoundly I utterly oppose this. russia MUST not be permitted to sully what is all humans’ birthright: a pristine Moon.

President Zelensky for the first time outlined 20 points from his Peace Proposal for Ukraine.

“The US Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a rare Special Message saying they ‘oppose the indiscriminate mass deportation of people’ & ‘pray for an end to dehumanizing rhetoric & violence.’ It was backed by Pope Leo XIV, who urged Catholics & ‘people of goodwill, to listen carefully’ to it.”

“The Trump Administration is, once again, using the full weight of the federal government to intimidate, censor, and silence voices they disagree with. Their actions today are immoral, unlawful, and un-American.”

This is Jeffrey Epstein’s fake Austrian passport. He used a different name: Marius Fortelni. The document was allegedly issued in the 1980s by the Federal Police Directorate of Vienna. @derstandard.at @papertrailmedia.de www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

How have only Epstein and Maxwell been prosecuted for the biggest human trafficking scheme in modern U.S. history? The answer is pretty simple: Pam Bondi knows she can’t go after Epstein’s co-conspirators because they possess damning information on Donald Trump.

In the early 1930s, Adolf Hitler purged Germany’s diplomatic corps, sidelining career diplomats and replacing them with loyalists. It wasn’t about policy efficiency; it was about loyalty, message control, and eliminating internal resistance. www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

“America has actually done more damage to Europeans, Japanese, Canadians in the last 11 months, the last year, than the Chinese or the Russians. Actually more damage to our economy, more damage to our security, more damage to our democracies.”

The sexual predator couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

An oppressive, tenuous peace would not be the product of clever diplomacy and well-crafted “guarantees.” It would instead be a product of Ukrainian desperation and Western betrayal: one for which we will pay down the road.

Poland ordered the consulate to close after railway line sabotage by russian agents last month. Gdańsk officials call Russia’s claim it still has a right to the property ‘incomprehensible’. The visitor who refuses to leave, and claims he now owns part of your house.

This is what happens when you invite Russia to your home - they occupy it. Literally. Russia said building in Gdansk ‘will remain occupied’. At least they’re being honest for once. I am surprised though they didn’t say the building was ‘returned home because Gdansk have been always a Russian land’.

People being evil, corrupt and incompetent is in fact a perfect summary of 2025.

Israel has maintained relations with the Kremlin, refused to impose sanctions against Russia, and rejected calls to send defensive weaponry to Ukraine.

“We still lack detail on what US is willing to commit militarily, what deterrent US is willing to provide. Zelenskyy said a few days ago, I want to know what US would do if Russia invaded again & I still don’t know that. On Monday he said the US security guarantees are beginning to look ‘decent’.1/5

“There are 2 ways to look at [the EU decision on frozen russian assets]: Ukraine left with the €90B it needed, which covers 2/3 of a hole in its finances over the next 2 years. It hopes allies outside the EU will make up the rest. And the frozen Russian assets were not used, but remain frozen. 1/5
