An opportunity to bring the U.S. down might get priority over Ukraine in the Kremlin. Will be interesting to see the pattern of aerial attacks on Ukraine the next few weeks. Maybe the missiles and drones will be used against the U.S. instead.

From "no more forever wars" to "unconditional surrender". The American have been epically f-ed over.

Or else? Is Hungary threatening Ukraine with war?

Where is the EU? It needs to rein Hungary in.

What would be surprising was if the Russians weren't sharing intelligence with Iran.

Uninformed people are now surprised that Russia share targeting intel with Iran.

That Europe has let itself be taken hostage by Hungary is a disgrace beyond the imaginable. So much for all the talk about strategic independence.

The U.S. denies Ukraine the arms to hit Russian launchers and arms factories. Ukraine, a country struggling for its survival, develops its own countermeasures. The U.S. government mocks Ukraine. The U.S. goes to war unprepared. Ukraine comes to rescue the U.S. without mockery or demands.

Who's got the cards?

Tehran in three days.

Is Trump planning for another forever-war?

I wonder how much time it will take Russia to consider it beneficial to supply Iran with missiles to tie up western powers in the Middle East. Now that Russia's winter air campaign against Ukraine is over there is capacity to spare.

The military escalation around Iran and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz have once again triggered a sharp surge in global energy prices. About 20% of the world’s oil and up to 30% of liquefied natural gas supplies pass through this narrow maritime corridor, 🧵

A major Ukrainian strike on Russia and it's not getting any attention. We are getting used to Ukraine hammering Russia now but this is only the beginning.

Euroleftists have had a hard few years. One by one their old friends are gone. Death, prison, exiled. Now they are up for another disaster when the chief sponsor of the islamic terror glorification movement is about to go down.

Who's calling the shots in Iran now?

The Russia effect. So many people will have their world view crushed if the Iranian regime falls, and rather a few will also lose their income. That's why they have a hard time accepting that their patron will ever lose.

As often before some people refuse to give a suffering people any agency. Ukrainians were often overlooked as agents of change, now it's the Iranians. Maybe we should factor in the Iranian people when making forecasts for the nations future?

From the Ukrainian perspective, this would seem to be a win.

Obviously regime change in Iran would be great news for Ukraine. Iran has supplied drones and grenades to Russia. Now there might be a chance for Ukraine to get hold of those supplies instead.

Trump is cuddling with Putin while taking out Russia's allies. Iran has been important for Russia's war against Ukraine.

Absolutely beautiful!

🚀The very first public footage of Ukraine’s FP-7 ballistic missile launches marks a new chapter in the country’s military capabilities.

Prokopenko and Azov took so much shit in western media over the years. He is a patriot and as far as I know he never argued for the enslavement of other people. Navalny on the other hand was loved and cheered by western media despite being a chauvinist and a defender of aggression.

General at 34. Not bad. But then again Denys Prokopenko might be one of the coolest guys around. In the service since age 22, defender of Mariupol, taken prisoner, released, and then straight back to the front. A new breed of Ukrainian leaders, a role model.

I want to file a law suit against Russia for loss of income, trauma etc. How do I go about it? Must be some group of people working on it. Should be many millions of people with claims.

I am pleased to see that more and more European leaders talk about a Ukrainian victory as essential for peace in Europe.

It will be interesting to see how many countries, companies and people there are who will buy into a Ukrainian victory now that the trajectory is starting to change. Once it becomes clear Ukraine will win everybody will want to belong to the winning camp, passive Ukrainians included.

A small amount of rednecks in the U.S. got Trump elected and he took the free world as hostage. A small amount of rednecks in Hungary got Orban elected and he took the EU hostage. Some election and decision making systems should really be reformed.

Bad news from Ukraine. A grandmother who is acquainted with my mother in law called and proudly told her that their family had paid off officials to free her grand son from service in the armed forces. Now the entire family would celebrate. That this still goes on is very bad.

The U.S. flooding Europe with conspiracy theory news and racist propaganda will be counter productive to their cause. Foreign meddling will hurt the far right, pro-Russia parties in Europe badly.

EU demands Russia withdraw troops from Belarus, Georgia, Armenia, and Transnistria, pull nukes from Belarus, pay reparations, and hold free elections — all as conditions for a Ukraine deal. "We pay back to Russian maximalist demands on Ukraine." 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/02/19/e...

A great power model anchored on the era when the US was at the height of its dominance in the 1980s and 1990s is also not intellectually structured to cope with the geopolitical consequences of EU integration

I don't think Putin will stop the war under any other circumstances than a complete Russian victory (no more Ukraine) As long as the war goes on Putin can claim Russia can still win. If Russia lose after Putin is gone he believes his reputation will be intact because people will blame his successor.

3/ Putin’s rejection of meaningful Western security guarantees for Ukraine is a greater impediment to a prospective peace deal than Ukraine’s position on ceding its territories.

🇺🇦 Zelensky awarded Vladyslav Heraskevych the Order of Freedom.

I think Iranians got fucked over by the U.S. just like Ukrainians. Putin called Trump and asked him to back off. Trump follow his master's orders. Iranians pay the price.

Anybody with a brain knows the "peace negotiations" are a rain dance. Still, the world plays along because the baby-man in Washington wants it and the most evil man in the world supports him. The rest of us are just idiots without any say.

Yet another massive Russian attack on Ukraine last night. Russia attacked energy infrastructure in the western parts of Ukraine. Emergency electricity shutdowns in Ukraine. There are injured and a lot of damage. Yet another Russian war crime.

Who came up with the idea of Putin changing his calculus and then negotiate a peace? Is there anything anywhere that supports that idea? Has Putin ever backed off before? Cut his losses and called it a day?

I smell Russia a long way in the Iran - U.S. deal. I guess Iran asked Russia for help to avoid a U.S. attack. Russia's interests were also at stake since Iran is an important arms supplier, and provide a safe route to the ocean. So Putin ask Trump to back off and offer a face saving deal.

In my opinion the talk about security guarantees is just a way to fool Ukraine into signing a "peace" agreement that let Russia win the war while Ukraine is made to believe it's safe. Just like the Budapest Memorandum but far worse.

Is there anybody who actually believe that Ukraine's allies and the U.S. will actually provide real security guarantees? Isn't that the highest level of phantasy? The Trump admin might just break the agreement, the Europeans might chicken out when it's time to deliver.

Make no mistake. For Europe Russia's war against Ukraine was always a choice. At anytime since Putin came to power Europe could have limited Russia's aggression, but it chose not to. At anytime after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 Europe could have helped Ukraine to win, but it chose not to.

Russia has working on destroying the West for many decades.

Belgorod moment of the HIMARS MLRS strike. Lights out, Ork bitches! #russianLosses #UkraineNews

Exactly. If Europe wanted to stop the terror, push Russia out of Ukraine and make sure Russia is pacified it could do so with a stroke of a pen. It is all about political will. The resources to win are available in abundance.

I have lost count of how many times people have said I am too conspiracy minded with regards to Russia. But I have very often been proven right. However, it never occurred to me that maybe Epstein also had a Russian connection.

Russian terror bombing of Ukraine continues. Ukraine's allies donate generators but not long range missiles to strike Russia's capacity to terrorize. Western media ignore the humanitarian disaster altogether.
