THE END OF THE LINE FOR AMERICAN MILITARY TECH The regimes choice to kill Ukrainians in their homes by disabling Starlink and preventing defensive drones to intercept incoming Russian weapons, has to be a line crossed, a step so far over what can be considered acceptable behavior by a supposed ally
Excellent repeating of what Putin said to you, traitorous corrupt scumball.
MAKS 26 👀🇺🇦@maks23.bsky.social · 3d ago🇺🇸‼️🇺🇦 Trump: Zelensky doesn’t want to end this war, and probably never did. He could have made a better deal two years ago than he can now. His country is in shambles, a large portion of his land is lost, his oceans and seas are gone, and his male population is low, wounded, and/or dead.
What up, Muzzling Warriors?

🗣️ Did the U.S. have anything to do with Starlink not working in Ukraine at the moment? Zelensky said it was deliberate. 🇺🇸 Rubio: I don't know what Zelensky said. I'm not sure Zelensky knows what he's talking about, but it wasn't deliberate. We had nothing to do with it. It sort of happened.
Ukrainian drones unleashed hell on St. Petersburg overnight, attacking an oil loading port, an oil depot, an Ozon logistics warehouse, and VK's data center, under a massive drone strike. A bridge was also hit.

This is true for Ukraine and NATO in general. The best you can hope for is the Orange Traitor not going full Molotov-Ribbentrop and entering the kinetic part of the war on the side of Moscow.

The Road To Hell. Russians really shouldn't travel on roads in occupied Ukraine. The whole video was about 3 mins 20 unedited, but I've cut it down a little. The amount of destruction is incredible. #RussiansGoHOME
The question is not "why has Donald betrayed Ukraine?" The question is "how big a cut of unfrozen Russian assets will Donald get for betraying Ukraine?"
Imagine being a colonel at war college 50 years from now writing a paper about this air war. The West has 1000s of modern combat aircraft, yet expects Ukraine to fight with a few dozen outdated F16s without enough missiles or bullets. They won’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Sex offenders in ads, ads paid for to run in wrong states... This is what rank incompetence looks like, and it goes all the way to the top.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · last wk.Campaigns typically vet the individuals they put forward in ads to ensure both that their stories are true and that there are no red flags in their biographies. If they can't do that, how well can their candidate govern?
This all adds up to the most utterly loathsome betrayal of democratic Ukraine by the United States under Trump.
I do my best to tune the guy out these days but fucking hell

1. Trump’s new White House press secretary, Katie Zacharia, says she is a lawyer. She has claimed to be a lawyer repeatedly on national TV, on podcasts, and on social media. But there is no evidence that Zacharia has ever been licensed to practice law.

Hundreds of thousands of people have lost access to their accounts and lost the ability to use their money. Transfers, replenishment, settlements - nothing works.
When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear & the internet becomes friendlier. So much of politics is driven by the internet & so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it

Putin hopes to dangle development deals in front of Kushner and Witkoff to lift U.S. sanctions. He made some progress when Trump announced that the US would be importing diesel fuel from Russia. But most sanctions remain in effect, and Congress passed legislation to strengthen them. wapo.st/47gE6Rf
