In today’s (first) Debunk of the Day, we’ll talk about… “realistic expectations”.
Russia has the GDP of Italy. NATO — which Russia claims to be fighting — has 20 times their GDP, and a much stronger and more modern military.

And worst of it all this will play right into the hands of antisemitism as a "the globalist Jews want to erase us" argument...

Donald Trump Is Frightened
Trump wants to appear eager to minimize out-of-control clashes between government militias and protesters. But he doesn’t want to stop the things causing those clashes in the first place.

It is literally false that the Jews being hunted by Nazis were citizens, because the first step toward genocide was stripping them of citizenship and making them stateless. As Arendt reminds us, citizenship is a legal category created to facilitate a machinery of exclusion of the out-group.

BREAKING: In a new post, Trump again threatens the Islamic Republic in Iran to stop the killing and negotiate a deal.
The US president says, like with Venezuela, the US armada heading toward Iran is “ready, willing and able to rapidly fulfill its mission with speed and violence”

‼️ Russia will not be able to capture Donbas before August 2027, — ISW
Giving Russia the rest of the Ukrainian Donbas would be a strategic mistake, wrote the American Institute for the Study of War, arguing that it would take the Russian army at least 18 months to achieve this by force.

We must be able to win the fight tonight and be ready tomorrow. What geopolitical role do we want Europe to play? Could we establish EU military capabilities financed and owned by member states?

EU has a larger ammo and weapons production capacity than the US.
We've spent 4 years building new factories, and one production facility is onlining almost every week.
Average procurement time in EU is faster than the US procurement cycles.
