Today was a grim, terrible day for the United States and the cause of democracy. Putin, along with other dictators around the world, can finally look at Trump with confidence and think: one of us.

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion.

Hello, before you get blackout drunk watching Taylor Bowl II, I've written about the dismantling of institutions in the United States. This is an original topic, and I think I'm the first to do it.

President Trump will learn pretty soon that Putin cannot be convinced with money, at least not any more. He is the richest person in Russia already, though he will never say no to more billions, but that wasn't the point of him starting the full scale war in Ukraine. (Thread)

There’s a bad conspiracy theory going around that Bob Woodward claims in his book ‘War’ that the AFU allowed 30,000 Russian troops to quietly withdraw from Kherson due to US pressure on Kiyv. It’s false on all counts. 1/
