Wat Sikorski zegt klopt. (natuurlijk klopt wat Trump zegt niet) www.kielinstitut.de/research/top...
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 2d agoPoland’s Foreign Minister Sikorski: basically calling Trump a liar. “The US no longer finances this war since January of last year. In other words, for more than a year and a half. The US has not contributed a single cent to the defense of Ukraine. We are doing it. Europe.”
This may be the most outrageous, disgusting, offensive thing Trump has ever said. If not, it is tied for the honor. Russia has been fine on Ukraine. It makes me want to puke.
The Bulwark@thebulwark.com · yesterdayTrump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine."
Imagine if in 1943 FDR had decided that the US would stop helping Britain and instead would side with the Third Reich. That's a bit like what President Trump is now doing by cozying up to Russia as it tries to destroy Ukraine. Utterly shameful. A humiliating moment for the US.
Trump is actively participating in the murder of Ukrainian civilians. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Trump administration holds up Patriot missiles for Ukraine
Delays in approving transfers from partner countries coincide with a worsening rupture between President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky.

The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks.-WaPo
Thanks be to God that Americans don’t ever storm public buildings causing massive amounts of damage.
Ah yes JD. The French people, famously known for never destroying buildings during political protests.
so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

Julie S. Lalonde@julieslalonde.bsky.social · 6d agoBeing GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.
Jetten: "Er is maar één reden waarom deze zinloze agressieoorlog voortduurt, en dat is omdat Poetin daarvoor kiest." "Ik roep alle Europese leiders op om meer te doen: financieel, militair en op andere vlakken, want veel Europese landen blijven achter in hun steun aan Oekraïne."
Trump's actions in recent days look like an abrupt attempt to force Ukraine to surrender and to save the Russian economy, @anneapplebaum argues. Authoritarians and oligarchs, carving up the planet:
Trump’s Message to Ukraine Is Now Crystal Clear
The president’s actions over the past 72 hours look like an effort to force Kyiv to surrender.

Trump is the leader, but the party is behind him 100%. Any politician still identifying as a Republican after this is a Russia-first treason weasel.

Barbarism. Pure and undiluted. Europe cannot remain silence and pretend this falls within the “shared values”. If any other country did this, the EU would issue a public condemnation.
The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2w agoBREAKING: The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.
I hope everybody in Europe understands, if Ukraine goes down, we go down, in every way possible (security, economy, refugees etc). So Europe should do more then give money and weapons to Ukraine. Because it is clearly not preventing Putin attacking civilian targets, killing innocent people, everyday

De verdienste van de column van @jamalouariachi.bsky.social is dat die de perverse moraal rond ‘7 oktober’ blootlegt: dat Israëlische levens oneindig veel meer waard zijn dan die van Palestijnen en dat álles daardoor mag, ook het collectief straffen van 2 miljoen mensen. www.trouw.nl/opinie/als-j...

An interesting point here is that the trend is just linearly down. He hasn't hit bottom yet. He could be hovering closer to 25% than 30% by the midterms.

Ik ga er vanuit dat onze @minister-president.bsky.social pal staat voor het ICC en de mensen die daar werken, Trump's uitspraken over het ICC zijn onacceptabel en natuurlijk ook ingegeven door zijn illegale daden en die in zijn opdracht zijn uitgevoerd. @d66.nl #Trump #ICC
