"But I think I find Zelenskyy to be more difficult to deal with than Putin" Why? Because one is real and fights a desperate war for his country and people, while the other is a self-enriching megalomaniac not caring about his people, but so like yourself?” Trump IS a fan of the murdering 🇷🇺 bastard

Trump wants to make sure it’s as easy as possible for his friend Putin to bomb apartment buildings and kill children. He’s not just the worst president in history, he’s the most evil person to ever serve at the highest level of government. Vote out his weak Republican enablers.

One distinctive feature of Trump's second term is that it's become impossible to differentiate when he's being stupid and when he's being mendacious. But on this it hardly even matters—his conduct on Ukraine in the last week alone would be grounds for impeachment in any functioning political system.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Starlink’s 100mph/160kph speed limit on terminals won’t stop Ukrainian strikes inside Russia. Starlink doesn’t work there anyway. What it DOES restrict is Starlink’s functionality inside Ukraine, hampering Ukrainians’ ability to defend their own country. Funny that. almost like it was deliberate.

As if 39 Russian ballistic missiles targeting Kyiv overnight weren’t enough “good” news, #Starlink also capped the speed of terminals operating on the move in Ukraine at 100 mph (161 km/h). No warning, no heads-up – and several missions ended up being disrupted because of it.
