A rare moment of clarity by Muscovy's press?

Olena Halushka @halushka.bsky.social · 11h

This is how supposedly ironclad "security guarantees for Ukraine" would fall apart: one russian false-flag operation — or just a lie (why even bother staging anything in this beautiful post-truth world?) — and they're gone.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 12h

Yeah, I'm sure you know what most people think. But anyway... what matters is reality, not what people (western or not) "think". Anyway, go drink some red wine with your comrades now. Talk about revolution 'n stuff.

Frågan är: vad krävs det för att de ska sluta göra det? Begreppet kakistokrati är otillräckligt för att beskriva Trumpregimens gränslösa inkompetens.

Alex Voronov @alexvoronov.bsky.social · 19h

Trump läser inte böcker, väljer aktivt bort kunskap som kräver ansträngning och lyssnar mest på sin egen röst. Och en förutsättning för allt detta är att omgivningen spelar med och skyddar denna djupt störda person. bsky.app/profile/kall...

@michaelgentile.bsky.social You did see the video with Zelensky's reaction?

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 15h

Indeed. It was intended as a sarcastic understatement.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 15h

Where/when did he say this?

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 15h

When was the question of redrawing borders ever brought to a vote (answer: never... the constitution regulates this)? Also, there are very few communists in Ukraine, and many of them actively coöperate with the ultra-nationalist russian invaders.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 15h

Your understanding of both Russia and Ukraine appears to be fraught by significant lacunae.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 18h

Although... hell knows what Francis is up to from his grave...

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 18h

Leo, I suppose.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 18h

I rarely agree with Bernie Sanders, but tax-funded healthcare and education--at the most with low user fees--should be the standard.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 1d

Millions of Americans remain at jobs they hate for one reason: the health insurance they receive. That’s absurd.

Universal health care will give Americans the freedom to choose the work they want without worrying about health care coverage.

Another reason for Medicare for All.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 18h

Funny how Persian girl's account is based in the UK and has changed name nine times.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 18h

So where are the communists that NATO is trying to stop?

Tendar (@Tendar@newsie.social)

Attached: 1 video Kudos to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy for keeping himself together after Trump‘s statement that „Russia wants Ukraine to succeed“. I would have bursted out laughing. But his facial expressions are priceless.

Is "Persian girl" the new "Syrian girl"?

Sven-Erik Volberg @volberg.bsky.social · 21h

Tankies have competition in insane asylum

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 20h

I did... shows significant restraint, I must say. Trump on the other hand? Just sheer stupidity.

Hearing the longer quote it gets even worse. The guy has absolutely no clue, his incompetence and utter stupidity is just beyond belief. "President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding". Excuse me, WHAT?

Masha Cerovic @mcerovic.bsky.social · 1d

So Putin is clearly laying out that he wants to "reintegrate" Ukraine in Russia. Get a puppet government, buy it off with cheap gas, neutralize its military, get rid of the "fascists" aka supporters of Ukrainian independence, reclaim RU cultural and economic hegemony. Peace through conquest.

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. It sounds a little strange but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding, including supplying energy, electricity and other things at very low prices."

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 1d

This man is just so unbelievably stupid, there's just no words.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 1d

"Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed" says the Orange Imbecile.

Dammit, Sweden. You can do better. I expect at least -30%!

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 1d

Indeed, national anthems tend to go in that direction...

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 1d

The national anthem goes "ja, jag vill leva, jag vill dö i Norden". Not Sverige.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 3d

Also, the Russians don't control Huliaipole. Only part of it.

Joni Askola @joniaskola.bsky.social · 3d

How delusional can one be to think that the war is nearing its end?

Nothing Russian officials have said points to peace being near

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 3d

I think it simply sounds like he's the russian "special envoy", not the American one.

Timothy Snyder @timothysnyder.bsky.social · 3d

The third paragraph reads as if the Russians wrote it. Maybe they did. In any event, it is an atrociously big lie; 1984-grade, as Aaron Rupar rightly says.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 7d

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

War is peace. Russia is fully committed to peace in Ukraine.

Over the last two days in Florida, the Russian Special Envoy Kirill Dmitriev held productive and constructive meetings with the American delegation to advance President Trump’s peace plan on Ukraine.

The American delegation included Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Jared Kushner, and White House staff member Josh Gruenbaum.

Russia remains fully committed to achieving peace in Ukraine. Russia highly values the efforts and support of the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict and re-establish global security.

Michael Gentile @michaelgentile.bsky.social · 3d

What???

Olga Nesterova @onestpress.onestnetwork.com · 4d

Putin: The US is interested in using the Zaporizhia Nuclear Power Plant for cryptocurrency mining.

Per Kremlin, Russia is negotiating joint management of the station with US WITHOUT Ukraine's participation, with the option to then sell electricity to Ukraine.

Zaporizhzhia is Ukraine.
