Pro Ukraine, Anti Putin/Trump
Pinned
Highly suspicious of the ceasefire Putin/trump are cooking up.

Ukraine will be blackmailed to accept terrible terms.

Putin will get sanctions relief and chance to recover.

Any who oppose it will be deemed the warmonger.

A tool to weaken and divide Ukraine and its allies

An absolutely appalling document that must finally, finally wake Europe up to what trump is
Though it barely mentions Russia, the 2025 National Security Strategy tells us everything we need to know by blaming the continuation of the war on Europe, not Russia. Its wording reads as if it was dictated by the Russian government:

This is what casually giving Ukrainian land away for corrupt bargains means
Russian occupiers told a Ukrainian teen in labor: accept a passport or no C-section

She agreed to survive. Then they demanded her baby be registered as Russian too.

God speed Friedrich Merz.

The use of these funds is essential for Ukraine and securing them for the long term.

Hence why trump and Putin are so desperate to sabotage the process and get their greedy hands on it instead
❗️Chancellor Merz has cancelled his trip to Oslo and is urgently flying to Brussels to persuade Belgian Prime Minister De Wever to unblock frozen Russian assets at Euroclear for a major loan to Ukraine – Der Spiegel
December 4, 2025 at 5:50 PM
Crucial to show the real choice to Europeans.

And by using the frozen Russian assets they’re already well on the way to meeting this target.

Russia meanwhile is rapidly running out of resources
If Russia wins in Ukraine, Europe will need to invest much more than 5% on defence.

And do it by the end of 2026, not by 2035.
Abandoning Ukraine would cost Europe $1.4–$1.8 trillion. Kyiv's victory is estimated $606–$972 billion, roughly half the price, according to Norwegian study

Kremlin win would shift Russian pressure toward the Baltics, demanding massive NATO buildup

One of the mistakes of the Biden Administration was not to pursue justice against the trump team for their crimes.

They thought they were doing a magnanimous Ford to Nixon thing not realising they were dealing with shameless crooks and traitors.

Democrats shouldn’t make that mistake twice
December 1, 2025 at 9:20 PM
Kelly is the guy who has the authority to take down these corrupt clowns.

If Democrats have any sense he’ll be the nominee in 2028
Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

I hope Ukraine are negotiating with the US in order to placate them while making a deal unacceptable to Russia.

Any drug deal cooked up by witkoff and trump for their personal enrichment is not going to serve Ukraine or Europe well

It's hard to over-state how important Trump admin subordination is to Putin, and not just because it hugely increases the pressure on Europe, above all on Ukraine. It's also because it gives Russia much more great power credibility, for which the Kremlin is absolutely desperate. 🧵
Both the Trump and Putin administrations like to think of themselves as hard-nosed realists - leaders in a world where great powers are the only stars that count. But Russia is China's dependent and Trump's US looks increasingly like Russia's junior partner. That's not very great power-like.

If Rubio had a tiny shred of his soul left he would resign

And if republicans still believed in anything they would be losing it at trump for selling America out to Putin
November 23, 2025 at 3:18 PM
The confusion of the last couple of days has only arisen because Rubio admitted to republican senators that this is a Russian plan.

Apart from that trump/vance/Witkoff were all happy to go along with it and blackmail Ukraine to sign

Amazing that this is where America is now.

Not very ‘Great’
The last few hours have proven 2 terrible things. First, the US and Russian governments are so close that the US government takes large parts of Russian proposals and passes them off as their own, and second that some people are so desperate to exonerate Trump that they act like this a good thing.

This really is an evergreen post.

We’ve had a full year of this. Trumps interest in ‘peace’ is a charade to break Ukrainians.

We need to be focused on getting clear of American dependence and helping Ukraine win.

Putin desperately needs a ceasefire which is why he has his dog try and get one

As a result of Russia’s attack on Ternopil, a Polish citizen, 7‑year‑old Amelia, was killed.

The girl died together with her mother, Oksana.

Another moment of clarity but really if you haven’t learned by now you never will.

Russia wants to destroy Ukraine.

America is happy for that to happen.

Only the Europeans and other democratic countries are with Ukraine in this defining struggle for freedom in the world.

GET REAL NOW!!!

Radio Free Europe will stop its work in Hungary on Friday.
Kari Lake, who oversees the U.S. funding for RFE, said that taxpayer money should not be used to "destabilize" Hungary.

As expected Trump and Witkoff want total surrender from Ukraine.

This is the point of departure where Europe must say no and kill this deal.

American help is a bonus but cannot be expected in any way.

Trump is a traitor and can only be coerced to do the minimal amount to help
The details of the plan that are being linked show that the Trump administration is planning to devastate Ukraine. Ukraine will be asked to cede land Russia has not conquered. The USA and other countries will be asked to recognize Crimea and other lands as Russian…
