Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 1hUkraine has no option to make peace, only to surrender or fight. Ukrainians choose to fight, which is a basic right for anyone under attack 16512
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 2hWhile supporters of Ukraine, Palestine, and Israel are proud to show their backing because they believe they are morally right, pro-Russians know deep down they are wrong and rarely dare to openly admit their support 0312
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 2hMost pro-Russians in the West don’t even dare admit they are pro-Russian because deep down they know they are wrong. They hide their pro-Russian views behind mental gymnastics and dishonest contrarian takes, without ever admitting it. They would never protest for Russia 1418

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 6hAs radio frequencies are jammed and satellite connections weaponized by the US, Ukraine may eventually be forced to cut the human out of the loop in mid-range drone strikes using AI, a somewhat scary prospect that isn't fully possible yet, but feels inevitable down the road 2366

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 7hThe GOP has sadly become a cult loyal to Trump, who is loyal to Putin. It is high time for Americans to vote them out of both the House and the Senate in the upcoming midterms 37813
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 8hWe should not do this. Trump would just give the assets back to Russia. We should transfer the assets to Ukraine instead 1811530
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 17hVivek Ramaswamy is an awful candidate: a fraud who scammed people to get rich, is not likable, and holds toxic beliefs. On top of that, as an Indian-American, he panders to a racist Republican base where many look down on him and won't vote for him. He may very well lose 1305

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 19hLet’s see how this develops, but even if Ukraine regains access to starlink (which is hopefully the case), today should be a good reminder that Ukraine needs alternatives 58315

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 22hTrump promised to end Russia’s war on Ukraine in 24 hours. 631 days into his term, he is failing so badly that he is trying to throw Ukraine under the bus instead 27821

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Europe is a huge market with major leverage and needs to use it against Trump. If he wants to cut off Ukraine, it must come at a cost Americans clearly understand 47621
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026It is absolutely clear that Trump and his administration would have sided with Hitler in WWII 811627
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026At this point, can the US even still be considered a true ally of Europe? Enemies of the US and Europe are the only ones benefiting from Trump’s behavior 46714
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Russia is struggling on the front line, as seen in the Donbas where Ukraine has regained ground, so Trump came to its rescue and cut access to starlink for Ukraine. He is openly siding with Russia 411040
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Losing Starlink will hugely impact Ukraine overall, especially its mid-range campaign, but it doesn’t mean Ukraine will stop fighting. For instance, short-range FPV drones and deep strikes don’t rely on starlink, and those will continue 67622
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Will Ukraine’s supporters who have defended Trump finally admit that he is nothing but a pathetic pro-Russian traitor? 410224

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026What is happening right now is not about diesel. Trump is trying to force an end to Russia’s war on Ukraine before the midterms by maxing out pressure on Ukraine to surrender key terms. It won’t work 36513
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump and his administration are accelerating the end of US hegemony. No one has done more to make the US lose ground to China than Trump 45412
Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Trump cutting Starlink from Ukraine won't stop deep strikes. He seems to be simply trying to force a Ukrainian surrender and manufacture a ”peace deal” before the midterms to boost his chances. It will fail. Trump is a pathetic traitor 210137

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 14/10/2026Russia has rejected every demand for compromise from Trump, including ceasefires, while bombarding Ukrainian civilians with ballistic missiles. Trump's response? Reward Russia with diesel deals and restrict Starlink for Ukraine. If confirmed, that is as traitorous as it gets 76020
