It took Trump 10 days to create an energy crisis reminiscent of the 1970s, replace Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khamenei, and weaken our alliances worldwide. He put American servicemembers in harm’s way, resulting in seven deaths. None of this made you safer or better off.
"The West started the war in Ukraine" - Putin.
The most interesting thing is that people believe this lie, and not only in Russia.
That is why it is so important to counter propaganda and constantly repeat the facts:
The war was started and is being waged by Putin and Russia.
With all the wars and crises going on in the world, let's discuss arts.
Russia is back at the Venice Biennale. This is not just art - it’s a cultural-information operation: an effort to make the presence of an aggressor state appear "normal" again.
Putin knew that getting Trump to remove oil sanctions also required a week of refraining from filling global headlines with the massacre of Ukrainian civilians.
Less than 24 hours after the US removed sanctions, Russia resumes the massacres with a massive attack.
From FT comments
Also, almost everything he says is a lie. The US gave Ukraine far less than he claims, and has not given anything for a year. Biden did restart weapons manufacturing all over the country. There are still shortages of air defense ammunition, everywhere, because it takes a long time to make.
Nobody has more experience in countering Shahed drones than Ukrainian forces. The US, Israel and the Arab states in the Middle East should request their knowledge, instantly. The fact that Iranian Shahed drones can hit high-value targets of US forces rather easily is very telling.
You can just say things.

This is not an AI-generated, Hollywood-style horror. This is the reality in Ukraine, Kostyantynivka right now. This is how Russia is using its “precision” ammunition.

"My daughter is six. I am here so that she can live in a free Ukraine."
Ukrainian Defender Alina says that when she made the decision to go to war, there was only one thought in her mind: her six-year-old daughter must grow up in a free Ukraine.
"This is my main motivation.

Four years have passed since Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia was supposed to win in three days. Instead, Ukraine reinvented modern warfare, built a drone industry, and can destroy a thousand Russian soldiers in a day. Ukraine can win.
Russian advances rank among the slowest in modern warfare a Sunday Times chart shows. Chasiv Yar 14 m/day, Kupyansk 23 m/day, Pokrovsk 70 m/day. Ukraine's Kharkiv offensive hit 7,400 m/day in 2022.
Ändå lätt den bästa låten om pasta.
In 2014, Russia violated Ukraine’s borders&shattered our peace.

🤬🇨🇳🇹🇭 Bloomberg:
Skyhub Technologies Ltd. is Thailand's second-biggest importer of UAVs from China.
Thailand's exports of drones to Russia have surged since 2022, with trade documents showing that the bulk of drones imported into Thailand are re-exported to Russia, a perfectly legal trade.
🇭🇺😵💫 Orban is going all-in. Sensing that he could lose the April 12 election, he is building his campaign on anti-Ukrainian narratives, in particular, scaring Hungarians with an invasion by the Ukrainian army.
What is Russia offering us as a compromise? What are they ready for? They said: “We are ready not to occupy your other regions.” But this is terrorism. Even those words are terrorism. “I am ready not to kill you – give us everything.”

När svenska medier på allvar börjar gräva i bl a polisens och försvarets aningslösa affärer med Palantir kommer skandalen med Transportstyrelsens IT-upphandling framstå som en mild västanfläkt. Jag har nog aldrig sett ett mer öppet mål vad gäller granskning (bortsett från alla hemligstämplar).
"Switzerland’s military has terminated its contract with Palantir… following a security audit… concluded that U.S. intelligence agencies could potentially access sensitive Swiss defense data… significant reputational warning for the data analytics firm"
