For guys who hate the West, these oligarchs sure do love stashing their families + wealth there.
Threaten to nuke Paris where putin's own daughter lives? No chance. Stop being afraid of the kremlin.

To anyone thinking Romanians are the kind of people that will gently go into that dark night and to whatever Romanian needs reminding, here's the story of one of our heroes, back from when Russia last ruled over us. 🧵

This has really brought the bad actors out in force. Most were known but it's staggering just how many there are in the UK.
Better to know who people are & where they stand. People often assume I'm not pro-Ukraine due to race so they start conversations expecting empathy. 1/6

What the West refuses to do, Ukraine will. The escalation managers won't be in office to see it but this is what actual de-escalation looks like.
Justice will come to everyone responsible for crimes against humanity in Ukraine.

Systematic decimation of communities, transport, medical + energy infrastructure, mass child abduction, sexual violence, torture & ecocide. That's what russia has been doing to Ukraine every day for years. 1/2

112 cruise missiles & 99 drones in one day.
If you want to discuss escalation & WWIII, focus on russia dumping its economy & population to destroy others. Focus on russia relying on North Korea, Iran & China to keep waging war.
Never blame Ukraine for self-defense.

F-16s were again valuable in shooting down russian missiles, as Ukrainians always knew when they kept asking for them while we illogically delayed & waffled about "escalation".
Send more & train more pilots. Lives depend on it.

In Lviv, a 66-year old lady was killed in her car by russia's attacks. NATO could've protected her but again chose weakness.
Standing by while an arsonist burns your neighbour's house down, hoping he'd stop there, isn't deterrence. It's cowardly appeasement.
Close the skies over Ukraine.

This is how Trump planned to end the war in 24 hours. This is what Scholz & Sullivan's de-escalation looks like.
Ukraine & its energy infrastructure systematically bombarded by russia, whose goal is to freeze them into death or submission, whichever comes first.
Our leaders' weakness is fatal.

Just reminding everyone that russia's war was never about NATO.
In fact, NATO's appeasement & enrichment of russia + their lack of protection for Ukraine & Georgia facilitated russia's invasions.
The goal is conquest, genocide & subjugation. Always has been.

putin has North Korea as a co-belligerent in a war on European soil, while Scholz refuses Taurus, openly projects fear of confronting russia & would never consider troops to defend Ukraine.
I'm sure putin will immediately bow to Scholz's escalation concern. What a farce.

Being a corrupt petrostate that funnels revenues into oligarch's pockets & waging wars, while mortgaging its future to China will inevitably cause economic collapse.
Instead of Western self-aggrandisement, we should accelerate this. Tighten sanctions & back Ukraine fully.

Reminder that -
1. "Deals" with russia are illusory. Green corridors are used by russian forces to commit monstrous crimes (seen in Chechnya, Syria, Ukraine)
2. The war started in 2014 - Ilovaisk happened, Minsk I followed. Debaltseve happened, Minsk II followed. Useless.

This should compel world leaders to intervene.
Anyone who finds this better than allowing long-range strikes, sending troops or designating russia as a terror state, they should at least have the decency to step aside and let others lead.
This happens daily. Never forget it.
