In today’s Vatnik Soup REBREW, I’ll re-introduce the American-British social media personalities, Tristan and Andrew Tate. They’re best-known for their social media grifts, allegations of human trafficking and rape, and sucking up to authoritarian regimes.

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

The United States just voted with Russia against peace in Ukraine.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce Russia’s main narratives and explain how they are being spread online by Russian operatives and MAGA Republicans. After three years of war, Russia still relies on old narratives, now amplified by the Trump administration.

Never forget, never forgive

Russian propaganda has released a video showing how they shoot down Santa Claus.

Aside from the godless nature of this tasteless parody, the timing couldn’t have been better when reflecting the shot down of Azeri Flight 8243. Russia is so broken.

There should be a wealth cap, no single individual should own more than a billion, excess wealth should be pumped directly into social services. If monopolies are illegal, billionaires should be too.

Moldova President Maia Sandu to Romania:

“Do not believe those who say being close to the Kremlin brings peace, prosperity. See what it does to its neighbors: blackmail, bomb them. See what it does to its citizens.” #moldova #romania #georgia #ukraine

One public opinion I can get behind of. EU benefits are clear

Europe has 2 choices: help Ukraine & make Europe stronger or risk losing everything - democracy, sovereignty, economy. History proves Ukraine’s decisive role. A strong Europe is impossible without a resilient Ukraine.

We are focusing on peace and peace can come only when russia will leave all the territories of Ukraine and stop genociding Ukrainians, so idy na khuy mudylo🖕
