I served as our Ambassador in Ukraine for 3 years under Putin’s missiles and drones but resigned when Trump kept appeasing Putin. America does not bow to dictators. It’s not who we are.

Turkey already demonstrated the most effective response to Russian violations of NATO airspace 10 years ago: Warn them off, and if they ignore the warning, shoot them down.
Do nothing and Russia will keep coming. Hit back and they back down. The choice is ours. #Article4 #Estonia

25 ouderen vermoord op de plek waar wij friet bakten. In Yarova, Donbas, werden zij door een Russische raket gedood terwijl ze wachtten op hun pensioen van €75. Rusland stopt niet tenzij het gestopt wordt. Vandaag Yarova, morgen… wie volgt?

It’s genuinely worth watching this stuff once in a while if you work in defence and security, or govt policy circles. It’s clearly raving madness but it’s what Russian people are being conditioned with every day, and have been being so for years now.
Russian propagandists are discussing the best way to destroy Europe: with nuclear and missile weapons, or with gas and chemical weapons.

“Honestly, Europe — and the liberal global elite in general — needs to be broken. It needs to be broken.”

Communist Russia and Nazi Germany started World War II by invading Poland together in September 1939.
Russians are taught to this day that the war instead began in June 1941 when Hitler invaded Russia.
The Russia-Germany war alliance from 1939 to 1941 is also censored.
