When two US ambassadors to Ukraine resign, one after the other, using words this clear and gestures this explicit, the message is impossible to ignore. The problem is Donald Trump and his approach: siding with Putin, distancing the United States from a democratic partner under attack. 1/2

Day 1499 of my 3 day war. I've lost 1.4 million dead & wounded to keep NATO, a harmless paper tiger, away from Russia. So it was worth doing. I remain a master strategist

A snippet of Iran's letter to the American people. Lies. The Islamic Republic has for many decades endorsed the chant of "Death to America". This war is a disaster. But no need to believe the Islamic Republic's bold-faced lies either.

The fact that Zelensky has not told so many people to fuck off who more than deserved it over the years it is a testament to his character, patience and leadership. He never gives up trying to placate and persuade people no matter how ignorant & insufferable they are. I could never do it. Few could.

What he said…

This magnificent bronze cuirass is Carthaginian though was very likely made in Italy. Once thought to date to Hannibal’s time, it’s now considered early C3rd BC. The stern goddess at the bottom is Minerva & wears a triple-crested helmet & a necklace of acorns. 🏛️Bardo, 🇹🇳 📷Alexander van Loon

Retired French General Michel Yakovleff: “The US asks us for help and wants us to share the cost of their fiascos. Joining Trump’s coalition today is like buying a ticket to dinner and dancing on the Titanic the evening after it hit the iceberg.”
