Either you are on the side of freedom, or you are on the side of the dictator who kills children in baby strollers with 100 kilogram warhead drones. November 3 decides wether America will be on the side of freedom. Vote.

Trump: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. We've gotten absolutely nothing back, except grief, death, and tremendous monetary loss." I don't know how you live with yourself. "Tremendous MONETARY loss"? Well, sorry we got invaded and Russia has been bombing us every day for years and years,

Russia continues to rank among the world’s worst for corruption and press freedom, placing 157thout of 182 countries for corruption and 172ndout of 180 for press freedom.

The Russian invasion was not about Donetsk. The Russian war is not about Donetsk now. All you have to do is listen to any Putin interview about the war. It is about the subjugation of all of Ukraine under a Russian-aligned puppet government.

No amount of support for Russia can end the war, because Russia is the criminal aggressor. A modicum of support for Ukraine could, however, end the war, by making it impossible for Russia to continue. This should not be a hard choice.

⚡️ "Give us Starlink, open it for us on Russian territory, and we will destroy his ballistic missile launchers," Zelenskyy stressed that stopping Russian ballistic launches would force Vladimir Putin to negotiate, rendering further energy strikes unnecessary.

A reminder that Ukraine are the good guys defending themselves and trying to survive. Literally nothing in the current shitstorm is Ukraine or Zelensky’s fault. Anyone dissecting Zelensky’s words/strategy to find faults has either hopelessly lost the forest from the trees or is doing it in bad faith

russia cannot sustain the mess it created. Refineries on fire & soldiers surrendering in Donbas. That’s why it’s doing everything it can to persuade Trump to get Ukraine to capitulate. That’s why now is the most vital time for Ukraine to keep going and not listen. It’s working

I'm for sovereignty. I'm against empires. I'm for human life. I'm against terrorism. I'm for democracy. I'm against dictatorship I'm for peace. I'm against barbaric invasions. Call it TDS if you insist, but these are my reasons for not agreeing with Trump on Russia/Ukraine right now.

Many people have a wrong idea about what US intelligence sharing with Ukraine is. In reality it's largely early warnings about air strikes so Ukrainians can seek shelter. This requires US satellites. But it looks like Trump might have instructed his military to stop giving Ukrainians that warning.

For the second evening in a row, Zelensky says Ukraine received no warning from Western partners before Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv. Tuesday’s strike hit a key energy facility and damaged a residential building, he said. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: Ukraine is being threatened with starlink removal and intel being cut off for literally fighting back and defending itself. For nearly 5 years the west has been trying to get Ukraine to hold back. Utterly pathetic.

Did cutting off US military and economic assistance "soften" Putin's position? Did denying Ukraine any chance of NATO membership "soften" Putin's position? These guys have no clue about how Putin thinks.

Ukraine's new campaign of destroying Russia's data centers will prove devastating for Putin's economy and war machine if the White House is unable to prevent it. The chaos we're already seeing across Russia is only four days into the campaign and 3 facilities targeted.
