When experts say things like, "Putin wants to control Donbas and have a pliable Ukraine like Belarus," remember many of those people said that Putin would NEVER go beyond Crimea, that Putin "didn't need Mariupol" and other bad takes detached from obvious reality.

If the US has not invited France, the UK, and Baltic states to discuss NATO, all other NATO nations must boycott. NATO and European security requires unity, and is protected by the whole or fractured by Putin's asset Trump. www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Ukraine has the legitimate right to retaliate symmetrically for Russia's attack on the nuclear research facility in Kyiv. The international community's lack of solidarity with Ukraine to thwart Russian aggression brought us to this point.

A school in Sumy after a Russian gen0cide attack on it while children were inside. There is no justice great enough for Russia's crimes in Ukraine.

The story that "Trump supports easing sanctions against Russia in exchange for political prisoners" is a propaganda fairytale. Putin's partner is dutifully playing his role in rehabilitating Russia and bringing it back into the fold. Prisoners are a pathetic pretext for dummies.

Slovakia’s prime minister Fico says he won’t go to war to defend NATO allies “because of some Article 5.” "As Prime Minister, I will do everything to ensure we never get drawn into some military conflict." The trend of "fuck NATO" among NATO members continues.

Evil cannot be stopped by negotiation. Evil is stopped through its defeat. No negotiations would have stopped Hitler, and no negotiations will stop Putin against Ukraine or the West. The only way to stop Russia is by its full military defeat. Anything less will not suffice.

It should be clear to everyone that the policy of 'historic offensive' pursued by the Polish state - with support of all ruling parties - has paved the way for the growing support of a revanchist sentiment. Just like in Russia, history is weaponized to justify aggressive claims.

A sanctioned Russian oligarch close to Putin and a "close friend" of Donald Trump's helped fund Donald Trump Jr.'s three-day wedding celebrations of May 2026. How the hell is it not clear to all who Trump serves? Western nations must isolate the US before it's too late.

The Trump regime is full of evil liars who should be isolated, not be in a position of trying to broker victory for Russia under the lie of working to "bring peace" for Ukraine. NATO and EU nations should be more than ashamed for playing along with this evil farce.

Trump calls on Ukraine to stop exercising its legal right to self defence against illegal Russian aggression & genocide. The Trump regime should be cut off from the rest of the free world. Time to drop the pretences that the US is a democracy and deal with reality that its rogue.

For over a year I have said that the United States under Trump is a threat to Canada and, as a result, is an enemy. Those who think that Trump will not resort to military force to achieve his objective to destroy Canadian sovereignty are not paying attention.

A 60 year old woman killed by Russia while tending to her garden in the Kyiv oblast. Russia targets Ukrainian civilians every single day in every place imaginable in Ukraine with the objective of exterminating Ukrainians to destroy the Ukrainian nation. This is genocide.

Apparently, unlike everyone else in the world, Ukrainians do not have the right to flee war and genocide. They may not be refugees. It is their duty to die to protect NATO nations - like Germany - from Russian fascism.

While France, Germany and the UK play along with fake peace talks imposed on Kyiv by DC to concede to Russian genocidal objectives of destroying the Ukrainian people and nation, Trump yet again crudely and revoltingly expresses his intention to illegally annex neighbouring states.

Through their involvement in the sham "peace talk" forcibly imposed on Kyiv by the rogue Trump regime, Germany, France, and the UK prove that for all their rhetoric, they clearly support Ukraine giving up Ukrainian territory and people to Russia for Moscow's false promise of peace.

The United States is as honest a broker of peace as Russia is a good faith negotiator. These evil regimes are colluding to carve the world into spheres of influence. Forcing Ukraine to concede to Russia is the first domino of Russian dominion of Europe.

Putin's aspirations are the extermination of Ukrainians and the destruction of the Ukrainian state and nation. There should be no illusions about what the US is proposing. A win for Russia is only a loss for Ukraine. The US plan is Ukraine's fall and Russian domination of Europe.

Reports suggest that the mother was pregnant.

While these Kremlin ass-lickers fawn over genocidal, baby-killer Putin, Ukrainian homes with Ukrainian children burn to the ground. Imagine having full-knowledge of Hitler's genocide, watching it in real-time and then coming to him bearing gifts. This is like that.

For anyone who doubts that the Trump administration renaming Lake Ontario (~53% of which is Canadian) is meant to lay claim to ALL of the lake, note s.2(a) of the Executive Order: "The US claims MOST of the Lake's volume". They want to claim it by VOLUME. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This should not be treated as a joke. Trump is making illegal claim to Canadian territorial waters which implies portions of the land. This is just the initial phase of a bigger plan to take over Canada. Note: Russia claims to possess Ukrainian lands it doesn’t yet occupy as well

I said that the renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America was not a Trump hiss fit, but the first step in making illegal claim to Canadian waters and territory. This thinly veiled threat of armed attack against Canada is a violation of international law and must be treated as such.
