UK banks made out very well with Russian money over the years - it was a preferred destination for Oligarchs who wanted to hide their stolen money outside Russia.

They don’t want to upset that cosy relationship.

"russia wouldn't advance into it"

I mean, russia obviously would advance into it immediately.

They might add a bit of deniability by using units of conscripted Ukrainians from occupied territories, or having their soldiers take off their uniforms, but they would move in straight away.

Understandable that South African Elon Musk prefers a free Europe without the EU & looking more like his home continent Africa. But, as #ElonMusk now lives in Texas: Why not first africanize America & liberate the 50 US States from their federal chains & Washington's tutelage?

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.

It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

🪖 Russia is preparing for nationwide mobilization.

Sanctions, Ukraine’s strikes on the oil sector, and massive spending on contract soldiers have drained the Kremlin’s finances. Continuing the war against Ukraine will soon be possible only through large-scale mobilization.

The Times: Weeks of peace talks, revised US proposals, and a Trump envoy’s Kremlin visit failed to sway Putin, he remains committed to conquering Ukraine. The only clear result: Putin no longer fears Trump. Talks widened the rift between Europe and Washington, delighting Moscow.

Putin:

We did not annex Crimea, I want to emphasize this point. We simply came to help people who didn't want their lives or fate tied to those who staged a coup in Ukraine.

If it's true, if the US is willing to allow borders to be redrawn by force and let aggressors be rewarded, then the gates of hell are about to be opened.

This may prove to be the single most destabilizing and conflict-spawning decision of the 21st century.

A truly Black Friday.

This is genocide. We don’t need to invent new words. This is literally Geneva convention defined genocide.

Next time any piece of shit politician tells you that "these are russian territories", "everyone speaks russian there" and so on - show them this. That is the "how" and the "why". It is called ethnocide and has been done numerous times by russia over the past centuries, to erase us.

Sicherheit für die Ukraine: Nur ein Faktor kann Putins Aggressivität eindämmen
Die Debatte über einen Waffenstillstand in der Ukraine läuft seit Monaten. Im Fokus stehen auch "Sicherheitsgarantien". Für den Westen und für Kiew ergeben sich daraus gleich mehrere Schwierigkeiten.

In der Ukraine kriegen der Korruption verdächtigte Minister Polizeibesuch und treten zurück.
In Resteuropa kriegen sie neue Ministerien (Man denke bloss an SK-Fico, H-Orban, D-Spahn, D-Dobrindt...).
🇪🇺 könnte einiges von 🇺🇦 lernen, z.B. Einhalten eigener Prinzipien und Wischen vor der eigenen Tür.
