How different the world would be now if Ukraine had wanted to build an empire… instead of Muscovites building an empire. 190

annemaret 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇺 @annemaret.bsky.social · 09/06/2025Trump's despotism is the product of enough people supporting his "delusions of grandeur" to elect him.

Important to remember 080

annemaret 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇺 @annemaret.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Great perspective! Would also be lovely to see separate colours for the many, many nations in that area now coloured red.

annemaret 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇺 @annemaret.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Peace can only happen if putin ceases to assault Ukraine. No negotiations to reward the attacker & blame the victim.

annemaret 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇺 @annemaret.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Russian war crimes in Baltic countries still haven't received full condemnation from the West. Why?

No good comes from wanting normal relations with russia. 010
annemaret 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇪🇪🇪🇺 @annemaret.bsky.social · 22/03/2025Russian propagandists cover all the bases. So much work to do, they say. Sadly, they never say anything not in line with putin's policy.
