You know that saying that what people say about others reveals more about themselves? Well, Donald Trump proves it perfectly.

A cat, a microchip number, a Tinder profile, a few social media posts. These are the digital breadcrumbs that a russian spy left behind, ultimately leading to her exposure. Christo Grozev demonstrates that nowadays, no cover is perfect and that a good investigator knows exactly where to look.

Once again, it is proven that Moscow and Beijing are completely absent when their allies are attacked. And I bet it would be no different if one of them were attacked, the other would be just as absent.

Reminder: The Iranian regime recently killed tens of thousands of its own people. It has destabilized the whole Middle East by supporting the Houthis, Hezbollah, and Hamas. Furthermore, it provides drones and technology to Russia to terrorize Ukraine.

the worst people in the world are mad right now and I am loving every second of it

The Iranian people have taken to the streets to celebrate the death of Ali Khamenei.

Officially, they will condemn the West. In reality, they probably knew that this attack would bring them many benefits, including higher oil revenues. 🙄

The Iranian people’s reaction to the news of Ali Khamenei's death.

"Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead and his body has been found, a senior Israeli official tells Reuters." www.reuters.com/world/iran-c...

A lot of false or unverifiable information has been circulating in the last few hours. Please be careful and fact check.

So the DOW (and possibly Palantir) wanted full, unrestricted access and control over the technology right from the start, with none of the limitations or oversight Anthropic was proposing? And what exactly did they want to do with all that access? Source: youtu.be/QFDz6q-Qthk?...

Other platforms are full of propaganda, including from tankie-academics who cry crocodile tears for the Iranian theocratic regime. How has this platform managed to escape that?

Power and control.

Trump spent years attacking CNN and calling it "fake news", and now this merger may have finally handed him exactly what he always wanted: a CNN that’s no longer a threat to anyone in power. And for Europe, there’s a very real chance the network will turn into just another MAGA propaganda station.

Odd take from someone who needs Xi Jinping's permission to run his business.

It’s pathetic to watch people in the West defend Iran’s regime. Trump and Netanyahu are extremely untrustworthy and lie to justify the strikes, but that doesn’t mean people should defend the Iranian regime, which has caused thousands of Ukrainian deaths and widespread chaos

Yet another proof that this administration knows absolutely nothing about Ukrainians, their values and their principles. And they still consider themselves mediators.🤦‍♀️

Hey @anthropic.com , it seems Europe might be a better fit for you: we like rules, ethics, and we've also been labeled "woke " by the American president, just like you.

The correct title would be: "Russia Is Winning Too Slowly to Matter." How can a specialist and a reputable publication commit to such predictions, when the last 4 years have proven every single one of them wrong?

Ukraine is "losing" a war in which the aggressor, with ten times the resources, has advanced 1% of its territory in three years? 😂

Just to be clear, Ukraine is not trying to attack Hungary, as Orban claims. It’s Hungary that is trying to obtain information from Ukraine and pass it on to Russia.

I’d be ashamed to be praised by one of Putin’s pawns. I hope Hungarians see who is backing their prime minister.

According to Stephen M. Walt, the US has shifted from a benevolent hegemony to a predatory hegemony. He argues that Trump uses US’s dominant position to extract concessions, economic benefits, and displays of submission from both allies and adversaries, operating within a zero-sum framework. ⤵️

What I don’t understand is why people in the West are talking about what would satisfy Putin.

I'm seeing commentary that a formal commitment to keep Ukr out of NATO *no longer* satisfies Pu. What?? It never would've. There's plenty of evidence Ru always aimed to control or absorb Ukr and replace Europe's security architecture w an arrangement allowing Ru to reassert domination over EEurope.

The Far Right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has triggered security fears in Berlin after officially requesting information on vulnerabilities in NATO defences — insight that would prove useful to the Kremlin. Quislings. Ban them.

😂 too funny not to be shared

No matter how privileged they are, they are incapable of acknowledging the crime their country has been committing for the past four years. The exceptions are so few they are not worth mentioning.

The ultimate proof that European #DigitalSovereignty is a good idea and you cannot entrust your data to the US Emperor. #BuyEuropean 👇 www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

The EU should suspend all negotiations with Hungary until early April, as Orban seems to be running his campaign either by pressuring the EU or by fabricating conflicts with Ukraine. Rather than deflecting, he should campaign on his actual achievements in Hungary over the past 15 years.

The pro-russian part of the European political spectrum essentially brings together the Eastern European far right (AfD counts as EEuropean, imo) and the Western European far left. Supporting russia's fascist regime makes sense for the far right but what the hell is the far left smoking?

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.

Specialists and professionals who voluntarily choose to leave, exactly the kind of people America has always regarded as its most valuable resource. This administration is doing everything it can to dismantle all that was good and valuable in the US.

How Moldovans would vote: EU membership: 44% would vote “for”, 35% “against”. Unification with Romania: 30% “for”, 52% “against”. NATO membership: 24% “for”, 55% “against”. The poll was conducted between February 4–23 on a sample of 1,113 adults (excluding Transnistria), margin of error of ±3%.

The leader of UDMR, Kelemen Hunor, stated that he will support Orbán, and approximately 92% of Hungarians in Romania will also vote for Orbán. Was the 80–90% pro-EU vote of Hungarians in 🇷🇴 during the presidential elections fake? And now they’re voting anti-European? Absolutely disappointing.

Out of desperation, knowing the polls are not favoring him, Viktor Orbán manufactured a crisis in recent weeks that simply doesn't exist. And now, one day after the polls were published, he sent Hungarian soldiers “to protect the energy infrastructure” from Ukraine.🤡 ⤵️

This news, even a year later, still gives me chills.

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

No matter how hard Viktor Orbán and Fidesz try to manipulate the electoral system and the media landscape, a 20% deficit is nearly impossible to overcome through fraud or procedural tricks alone. This poll reflects a profound shift in society, not just a temporary fluctuation.

It has caught my attention that Russia’s exports are now concentrated in a small number of markets:China, India, and Turkey, 93% of total oil exports. This concentration of Russia’s oil exports in just 3 markets creates both a vulnerability for Moscow and a potential strategic advantage for the EU.⤵️

🇷🇺 NEW | REPORT | 4 YEARS OF WAR: Russian fossil fuel revenues tank to 27% below pre-invasion levels 📉 In 4th year of invasion, Russia's fossil fuel export revenues totalled EUR 193 bn: 19% year-on-year drop & 27% below pre-invasion 🇪🇺 EU’s imports ➡️ EUR 14.5 bn, down 36% YoY

According to intelligence sources cited by The Telegraph, Russian agents have allegedly turned properties across Europe into a network of “Trojan horses,” prepared for coordinated sabotage in the event of a crisis. 1/4

💥🗳️ Bombshell poll in Hungary: 55–35 lead for Péter Magyar’s TISZA over Viktor Orbán’s Fidesz-KDNP – enough for a supermajority in parliament. The survey was conducted by Medián, widely seen as the country’s most reliable pollster, for @hvghu.bsky.social. Fieldwork: Feb 18–23, 1,000 respondents.

The country that has the longest border with Ukraine was absent from Kyiv today. Although Romania supports Ukraine, the president of Romania was once again absent from being alongside the European leaders today. It would have been a one-hour flight. I don’t understand. And I feel ashamed.

The German Minister of Culture has proposed that European companies take over TikTok’s assets in Europe, arguing that authorities must eliminate the risk of foreign influence on public opinion and prevent data transfers outside the EU.

Slava Ukraini!
