Russia is losing its grip on vasal states.

These back states are talking to Turkey about selling their oil and resources through Turkish ports rather than Russia.
Russia doesn't have the occupation power that it did just a few years ago.

Ukraine blew up its war machine.

The future is about us.
The future is not about you or I alone.
It's about our children and tomorrow.

Put away our COLD WAR bullshit propaganda and think about everyone's future in real functioning democracies.

COLD WAR definitions were for uneducated people to begin with.

Let's move forward.

Ursula gets it.

Want to feel inspired?, watch this woman speak and read about the agendas that are important to her and the E.U. in detail.

The E.U. embraces cooperation and democracy between countries.

True democracy is an evolving goal.
With effort from all sides.

Burn Putin’s Russia to the ground.
Shut it down and prevent it from functioning.

Western support helps Ukraine to fix broken infrastructure.
Russia has no such luxuries.

Bring it down and don't look back.

I look forward to the day when I can post silly memes to make people laugh.

Like you, I see the world on the brink of a very disappointing future.

We CAN turn this back if we get involved. If we use our voices and physically show our disapproval.

Our grandparents and parents did this.

Step up.

I post updates daily from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, around Ukraine and the goings on of the world in how it supports or does not support Ukraine's fight for freedom and democracy.
The links I post are very informative.

Want to send a message to the world's dictators?
Make sure Ukraine wins.

Johnson slams the No Kings protest march scheduled to take place in DC next week as the “hate America rally” that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.”

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Russia wants Ukraine to freeze in winter. They targets civilian homes, heating and electrical plants.

Ukraine is returning the favor now, minus Russian civilians.

Replacement parts come flooding in from the E.U. to fix infrastructure.

Russia has no supply support.

We need help to protect our civilians from blackouts, cold and darkness, and a new wave of refugees to the EU.

Right now, there are two very important areas that Ukraine needs help with:

The scale of the threat is unprecedented, and no European country could handle such massive, combined missile-and-drone attacks on its own.

Defending Ukraine’s skies is entirely possible if Ukraine and our allies act in unified planning and coordination.

Russia has paid for terrorists in the middle east to cause problems for years.

OPEC has lowered the price of oil to take away Russia's ability to sell theirs.

They want Russia to collapse and be done.

❗️Russia canceled its first Russia-Arab summit because most of Arab leaders would not attend it.

The summit was supposed to take place on October 15, but a week earlier, it turned out that only acting president of Syria and Prime Minister of Iraq confirmed their participation.

Russian propagandists want Ukraine and Europe to pay reparations to Russia.

"And what reparations could Ukraine pay? Belgium will pay. France will pay. The Netherlands, too."

"Well, we’ll go after Belgium, France. We know perfectly well how this will end."

"We’ll pursue it at a military tribunal"
