Gen X grew up during economic turmoil (the 70s), graduated around the early 90s recession, raised families during the dot. com boom and bust and the GFC. Are we about to retire into a Trump induced economic turmoil as well?

Call me cynical, but I believe a "peace deal" will only last long enough for Ukraine to hold elections. Russia is waiting for Zelensky to go, then it will attack again. Also, Russia will support right wing parties in the EU and the security guarantees will melt away.

1. Two things happened in the past week which have caused outrage and I think both have been manipulated by the media and those behind them. The first, Trump's birthday card to Epstein. Second, the limits to anti-corruption agencies in Ukraine. SO, why now? Who stand to benefit?

Great thread on Russia's genocide in Ukraine

Genocide - a short thread within a🧵
I am simply staggered governments and world organisations are too weak to acknowledge the mountain of evidence.
The recent huge missile attacks should be enough, but useful idiots are fooled by Russia's plausible deniability.

Did the President of the USA just admit he's compromised by Russia, or did he admit acting on behalf of an enemy?

A terrible start to Thursday with mass death and casualties in Kyiv in the early hours, as many of you will have seen at the end of my previous thread.
This is THE thread covering Ukraine, I've never missed a single day, with facts not fantasy. It's Day 1156 of Russia's war.

The Trump-Putin Pact already exists, and we should act accordingly. There are some things we will never change with nice words or smart clothing. If you are worried about those things, you should understand where Trump's tactics come from. From Russia.

This is THE daily🧵on Day 1106 of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
#TraitorTrump continued to look like a 1980s Soviet leader during his State of the Union address.
His refusal to defend democracy also destroys the hopes of protesters in Georgia as well as abandoning Ukraine.

Reasons I believe the White house meeting with Zelensky was a set-up to either for Ze to capitulate or provide a Trumped-up excuse to cut aid to Ukraine
1. The suit - the WH knows that Ze doesn't wear suits during war-time, they made this an issue to make Ze look disrespectful
