My new video titled “Trump’s Secret War on the Dollar” is out on YouTube. Watch it and let me know what you think! youtu.be/LYppIGuiFpc?...

Had anyone told us in March 2022, when Kyiv seemed weeks from encirclement and Russia controlled nearly 30% of Ukraine, that 4 years later Russia would still be fighting for Donbas while holding only 20%, we would have seen it as a Ukrainian victory and clear Russian defeat

⚡️At least 24 relatives of Putin get state-linked jobs, investigative journalists say. This is a record for nepotism since the country was ruled by the Romanov imperial dynasty a century ago, according to Proyekt, an investigative journalism project. kyivindependent.com/putin-sets-r...

Funny coming from people who claim that forcing Russians to speak the local language in Europe is genocide

Traditional Values in Russia’s Orthodox Church under Patriarch Kirill

The Trump family does not mind that Benny is a Russian asset

Musk and X are threats to Europe

Surprise

He’s not even hiding the fact that he wants to be treated like a dictator

That is an absolutely insane thing to say

X is rigged

Bill Ackman is heavily boosted by Elon’s algorithm: over 500K views but only 412 likes. X is rigged, but we already knew that

It’s funny that Twitter is full of people and bots who rightfully criticize the war in Iraq, yet try to justify Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by saying it’s like the war in Iraq

Not surprising

Trump still behaves like someone who doesn’t want to end the war

Had anyone told us in March 2022, when Kyiv seemed weeks from encirclement and Russia controlled nearly 30% of Ukraine, that 4 years later Russia would still be fighting for Donbas while holding only 20%, we would have seen it as a Ukrainian victory and clear Russian defeat

Russia’s leadership knows that this is a purely imperialist and genocidal war, but they can’t admit it, so they lie and keep changing their explanations for why they are invading

Ukraine’s strike campaign is growing stronger, but causing damage Russia cannot absorb will require more missiles alongside drones. Drones are vital, but their payloads are too small. We need to seize Russian frozen assets now to help Ukraine scale up production!

Trump keeps claiming that Putin wouldn’t have dared start the war in Ukraine if he were president, but why does Putin dare to escalate the war now that Trump is president then?

Orbán is a scammer

This war is a disaster for Russia

The best possible strategy for Ukraine, considering its strengths and weaknesses and the fact that it is facing an invading force with more men and more resources

Russia can’t afford to continue the war forever, but Putin also can’t afford to stop, because that would mean locking in strategic failure

The horrible thing about Russia’s unprovoked war on Ukraine is that Russians don’t actually know why they are invading. Official explanations keep changing and are all based on lies. It is a purely imperialistic, unprovoked, and useless war and genocide

1/6 Russia is bleeding for tiny gains. After more than a year and over 100k casualties, it is almost occupying Pokrovsk. At this pace, how many years and lives would it take to capture the regions it claims to have annexed? The math is brutal👇

The type of case Elon Musk would post about 24/7 if he were an immigrant

A comparison showing how badly Russia is failing in Ukraine. Remember: Russia currently holds less Ukrainian land than it did in March 2022, just one month into the full-scale invasion, despite going all in for almost four years and suffering over a million casualties

Guess why

Ukraine’s two-part strategy to win the war: 1) Exchange land for time to wear down Russia’s army and economy 2) Launch deep strikes to hit Russia’s economic backbone The first part is slow but effective. The second can accelerate the outcome

Russia cannot win the unprovoked war it started. Through our support for Ukraine and the pressure we put on Russia, we in Europe determine how long it can keep fighting. Map: @thestudyofwar.bsky.social

1/9 Ukraine’s current two-part strategy to beat Russia 🧵

How many more men and how much more time is Russia prepared to sacrifice to take the rest of the Donbas? 3 more years and 500k+ more casualties? Even after that, Russia would still be almost as far from its original strategic goal as it is today. Pathetic! Map by @clementmolin.bsky.social

I don’t always agree with Ezra Klein, but he is right: Democrats need to represent the full range of Americans by welcoming both moderates and progressives. Trump is awful and shouldn’t be copied, but he won by making space for anyone who felt angry or disaffected

Ukraine has made mistakes before in withdrawing from lost positions too late, but there have also been examples of Ukraine staying in areas despite commentators calling for a retreat, and it turning out to be the right decision. These decisions are hard to get right.

People who hate Mamdani and spread disinformation about him need to decide whether he’s an Islamist or a woke leftist pushing LGBT rights. You can’t be both at the same time

The GOP isn’t the GOP anymore. It’s now the Trumpist party

Last night was good for the Democrats and bad for the Trumpist party. This will motivate Trump even more to use every dirty tactic and form of cheating during the midterms

Also with Ukraine?

What a joke

It doesn’t bother him, but we already knew that when we discovered he was aware that Trump appeared on the Epstein files and chose to endorse and fund him regardless. Concerning

How’s that going?

1/7 Why do so many scholars, historians, journalists, politicians, and watchdogs say Donald Trump and his administration show fascist tendencies or even call them fascists outright?

What being liberated by Russia looks like

Pro-China bots are very active recently and spread misinformation. So it's important to be clear what role China plays in the world. It's the single biggest pillar of support for Russia's war machine and invasion of Ukraine. China is Putin's biggest enabler in his war on Western Europe. The truth...

South Korea's exports to tiny Kyrgyzstan just reached half a billion Dollars in one month. This stuff is obviously not headed to Kyrgyzstan but is going to Russia. The West is guilty of a collective failure on Ukraine: chasing short term profits instead of shutting down autocrats. We must do better.

Dick Cheney, vice-president and giant of Republican politics, dies aged 84

Man plays with fire and is surprised when he burns his fingers. You can’t keep pushing dishonest, grifting far-right populists whose ideology is based only on hate, and then be surprised when this is the outcome. Ben Shapiro is also responsible for this
