We are the self declared successor state. Which is why Russia, not Ukrainians & Belarusians, beat the Nazis. So for that, we are USSR. But when it comes to soviet crimes, we are not the USSR. Think of it as the Soviet Schroedinger's Union.

No senior EU officials I've spoken to have a positive assessment of Rubio's speech. Not one

As we approach the 5th year of claims "Ukraine will lose soon", my trolls are so convinced of this that they use maps showing Crimea as part of Ukraine. What are all my trolls?

OTD in 2022 George Galloway released one of the absolute, all-time classics. He has yet to delete it, show humility, or confirm/deny if this means he in fact being paid to act like an idiot, or if he just does it free. #JustAskingQuestions

🔴 The authors of the annual report at the Munich Security Conference declare that Trump is the most visible "destroyer" of the world order, and Europe has been left without an American "umbrella". Ukraine is called "one of the first victims" of the new type of world order.

Looking forward to Green Day performing at American Idiot at #superbowl. It reminds Prez of someone.

Here we go…

Epstein was issued with 9 separate Russian 🇷🇺 visas covering more than 9 years and they were sponsored by MOO that was “linked to veterans of Russia’s FSB special forces unit “Vympel” (known for anti-terror operations).[efa-vimpel] Led by FSB veteran and KGB colonel Sergey Shestov”

Gardaí have made a formal request for military assistance to provide anti-drone equipment for multiple locations during the upcoming EU Presidency but the Defence Forces have told them they will only deploy the equipment to protect Baldonnel airfield. jrnl.ie/6945363t

EXCLUSIVE: EU wants defence data secured without US tech

European defense spending has doubled in the past decade, and continues to grow. One German firm soon will produce more 155mm artillery shells a year than the US. Ukraine, with its battle-tested army & world-class drone force, can be a pillar of European defense for decades to come. wapo.st/3LXtW0R

If these countries could act together, they would be a superpower in their own right. The “Eurasia bloc” (the great democracies of Europe and East Asia) has a population of nearly 900 million, GDP of $39.5 trillion, defense spending of $830 billion and 3.1 million soldiers. wapo.st/3LXtW0R

OTD in 2002 Ukraine dismantled its final Tu-160, supersonic heavy bomber. Having given up nukes, long range ability to threaten Russia and the entire firing chain, Ukraine was subsequently rewarded with invasion, concern and thoughts & prayers.

ZELENSKY GETS IT

Grok's CSAM turn looks even more sinister now

Taking part in European defence initiatives and increasing the capability of a country's security services does not impact on a State's neutral status, the Austrian ambassador to Dublin has said. jrnl.ie/6943036t

The Future of Irish Defence Policy: an expert report launched by Barry Andrews MEP today "Ireland is a non-aligned neutral country but we must be able to defend ourselves, on land, at sea, in the air and online." @brigidlaffan.bsky.social pdf: www.barryandrews.ie/post/the-fut...

"Don't forget that I took screenshots"

OTD in 2003 Prez & then Ukrainian president signed “Treaty Between the Russian Federation and Ukraine on the Russian–Ukrainian State Border”. It set Ukraine’s borders as they were in 1991 & was lodged with the UN. So you can trust Russia on a new deal on Ukraine's borders

France to ban officials from using American video conference tools including Zoom and Teams.

We have been using a platform that is banned in Russia to say that free speech is banned in the EU on the platform we banned.

OTD in 2022 my parody embassy repeatedly stated that no invasion of Ukraine is planned. We did have a plan, it was just really bad.

A message from Greenland…

Well said Ray Cawley

All 10 shots were fired AFTER they removed the gun from Pretti’s waist. Every single shot was fired after he was disarmed.

OTD in 1935 Hitler assured Poland he would not invade them. A few years later he said Germans were being oppressed & killed so he attacked, carried out genocide and spent the last years of his life in bunker detached from reality. Imagine all that happening today.

Clean up on aisle 47

If US threats towards Greenland continue, Europe could refuse to refuel American ships in European ports, require higher payments for the stationing of US troops — or even close US military bases.

Trump is a senile embarrassment to America. He forgot the name of the country he wants to invade and said "Iceland" four times. He also went to the German speaking part of Switzerland and said if it wasn't for the US, they would all be speaking German right now.

🇪🇺 Should the EU Federalize or Dissolve? 🇮🇹❓ A recent 2026 opinion poll asked Italians what the future of the EU should be. 🔹 61% support transforming the EU into a federal union 🔹 4% want to keep the EU as it is 🔹 27% support dissolving the EU altogether 🤔 What do you think?

PM Starmer: Putin being on a board of peace - he is waging war on a European country and as we sit here, they're raining down bombs on #Ukraine. it's minus 20, 60% of the energy in Kiev is gone and people are having to put tents up in their living rooms to keep warm.

“Sweden’s largest private pension fund has divested $8.8 billion in US Treasuries, the most significant withdrawal yet from American government bonds since Trump’s Greenland crisis erupted, citing “increased risk and unpredictability in US politics,” thedeepdive.ca/swedens-larg...

“Danish citizens are organising a huge boycott that includes cancelling planned holidays in the US, cancelling subscriptions to on-demand services based in the US & more generally, recommending the use of EU services instead of those provided by American platforms.” So, same as Canadians.

Excellent

❗️Zelensky to Hungary's Orban and other pro-Russia European politicians: "Every 'Viktor' who lives off Europe's money and sells out Europe's interests deserves a smack on the back of the head."

President Zelenskyy: Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words that Europe needs to know how to defend itself. A year has passed, and nothing has changed.

No scenario in which Ireland joins Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’, says Harris

Would rename Moscow to Epsteinburg. Problem solved.

MEP @alexandrageese.bsky.social giving presser now at EP with victims of recent 🇺🇸sanctions against lawmakers & NGOs for implementing EU tech laws "This is a surgical political instrument to silence opponents," she says. "What 🇺🇸 is hitting here is not some random NGO, it's the DSA enforcement chain"

This is so dead on accurate.

🇩🇰🇺🇸 Clash Report: Danish MEP Anders Vistisen to Trump: "Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off."

Compare & contrast. This is Trump’s demand for Greenland. And this is Hitler’s for the Sudetenland. There is no difference. The language. The unstoppable need to dominate. The megalomania. It’s the same. And Keir Starmer’s response is appeasement. We are in that moment. 1/
