In 2022 Russia lied about its intentions and useful idiots world wide blamed the West for stoking unjustified fears. Immediately after the start of the full-scale invasion, those same idiots told everyone that it had been inevitable because NATO etc
Putin said earlier this week that Russia has no plans to invade Europe. I had a deja vu moment when I was listening to his crap:

Vasyl Stus wrote poem “Enough Blood” in 1971. It fits today’s privileged pacifism well.
- Enough blood, - the torturer declared,
When the knife was still driven under my ribs,
Stuck in my back.
And I thought, all wincing with pain:
What if he decides
To be my doctor as well?

Atm, Kyiv is being pounded by Shahed drones and russia's ballistic "messengers of peace" — the only kind of peace Moscow pursues.
Warm greetings from the shelter to Belgian Bart De Wever — a modern era freedom fighter bravely holding the zero line of the financial war.

Small reminder: Ukrainians are not fighting "for Zelenskyy" — they are fighting for freedom & dignity. Since 2014, they've been fighting a war on two fronts: against Russia's genocidal killers & their own corrupt officials. Successful raids by 🇺🇦 anti-corruption fighters are not a sign of weakness...

So there are already dozens of drones in the air. And preliminary reports of russian strategic jets in the air. What a relaxing and wonderful Friday when you are Ukrainian. I guess I need to wait a little longer and those fuckers who call themselves "allies" will finally wake up. 🤷🏻

Either Western intelligence or СБУ? Either way: more recordings please.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

We've spent decades saying it isn't for European countries to decide if they can join NATO, it's for Moscow to decide cos "NATO promised not enlarge". Now we're upset Europe isn't involved in ending a war we say NATO caused with Moscow.
Has anyone even noticed that, in the current framing of a Peace Plan for Ukraine, Europe has been given the same role as Namibia or New Zealand (i.e. none)? This is the price Europe is paying for being Washington's lackeys for so long: utter irrelevance www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...
