1/5 How unreliable can russia be? It’s abandoning another partner—this time, Iran. Just like it did with Armenia, Assad, the RSF in Sudan, and the junta in Myanmar. russia talks a big game about loyalty. But when things get tough, it disappears

Putin: “We have this old rule: wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, it’s ours.” He’s not even pretending to hide his imperialism. Contrary to what Trump and others claim, this war was never about NATO expansion.

"We should bomb #Kyiv because it's fun." "We could have bombed Kyiv right away and made it Russian." "NASA wanted to attack Russia, we prevented that." A glimpse into the Russian mind. This is not a joke. If they get #Ukraine, they will go further and laugh about it.

Trump has decided to give the Russians ANOTHER two weeks to think about if they want to stop the war or not. If they tell him "no" again, he is prepared to give them another two weeks to kill more people. Trump is Russia's trained dancing bear.

France is reclaiming aid from US, provided during the War of Independence (1775-83). Plus interests - 🇫🇷 president Emmanuel Macron announced on Friday. The US must create a fund of which 50% belongs to France. Half of all 🇺🇸 revenue will go to 🇫🇷, or, as Macron warned, UK would take over its ex-colony.

Now it is 2 Germans and one UK citizen that has been kidnapped by the US. This pattern is emerging and I believe it is so that the US can extort these countries to follow US bidding. Do not travel the the US, it is not safe.

A lot of what appeals to Trumpists about the sudden abandonment of Europe, Ukraine, Canada and Mexico is the emotional trauma it is causing. They're turning what was perhaps an imbalanced relationship into an abusive one. The cruelty is the point, and the shock and pain expressed is the pleasure.

Trump is arguably the worst negotiator in history. He threatens to launch a trade war, undermines the United States' reputation, and ultimately secures a deal that provides him with no significant benefits, all the while garnering widespread disdain. Even my dog would do better!
