I want to ask you to take a moment and read this: there is no power station left in Ukraine that’s not damaged by Russian bombing.
Not one.
Thank you for your attention.

Colonial empires survive on projection of power, rather than actual power. This is one of the reasons why the European colonial empires collapsed after WW2. Russia has been good at pretending it is strong for a long time, but Ukraine proved it to be a mirage. Russia is weak and will lose the war
One thing the last quarter century has shown is that Vladimir Putin is a horrible and wildly overestimated strategist.
He has weakened Russia and ruined its potential.
In pursuing genocide in Ukraine, he has exposed staggering incompetence rather than strength

We live in a world where the IOC has no problems selling T-shirts with actual nazi propaganda, but bans a Ukrainian athlete for wearing a helmet commemorating athletes killed in Russia’s war against Ukraine. I just can’t anymore with this insanity anymore

The trajectory from, “Trump will give Ukraine to Tomahawks to attack Russia” to “Trump has starved Ukraine of Patriots to help Russia” is the single greatest example of the failure of people to understand what Trump is and has always been.

Fascist russia does not want peace. Ukrainians have known this for years, if not decades or even centuries. Nevertheless, too many Western politicians, journalists and experts keep fantasizing about this russian desire for peace
A day before scheduled peace talks with Ukraine, Russia resumed strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure on Tuesday, hitting power plants in several regions in Kyiv. It's part of a major campaign intended to freeze Ukrainians into submission amid frigid temperatures. nyti.ms/4ag6dBf

Trump: "I did call up President Putin and he's agreed -- they have the same cold wave that we do, maybe different because it's pretty far away, but it's the equivalent. And Ukraine is a very cold country, much colder than us. I asked him if he wouldn't shoot for one week and he's agreed to do it."
