Any belief held to the extreme is wrong, be it religious, political or personal. Any kind of extremism is ultimately evil.

I don't get the press excitement over these "peace talks."

It feels like Ukraine is just trying to keep Trump's favor while maintaining manageable conditions, while Russia remains unwilling to accept anything less than Ukraine’s surrender.

Chad, Niger, Mali, all places the Ruzzian Wagner group are located, stealing the nations' gold to send to Moscow. They've even changed their name to the African Corp.
Once you realize trump is working for Putin and not America, it all makes sense. Putin couldn't send jets to bomb Africa.

Trump telling you he’s bombing Nigeria because he cares about Christians, is like Elon Musk telling you he’s buying Twitter because he cares about the first amendment.

No American president has ever named ships or institutions after himself—until now. Trump’s gold-plated presidency isn’t about strength. It’s about fear, ego, and unmistakable ignorance.

I wrote about the new peace plan, which rewards the aggressor less than the previous one, but I believe there is a high risk of Russian false-flag operations, forgeries, and disinformation being used to “justify” another attack and to disable Western security guarantees inved.eu/insight/new-...
New peace plan: better than the old one, but still far from good for Ukraine and Europe – INVED
President Zelensky recently presented the new 20 points Peace Plan, which is different from the former peace plan that was more like a plan for complete surrender, not only militarily but also surrend...

And we discuss signing something with them?

Everyone should read this week’s WSJ story on Trump selling pardons. It’s some of the most corrupt shit I’ve ever seen—you can literally corner him at one of his lame parties and walk away with a pardon. How is this not the biggest story in the country?

The man who ran on a platform of "America First" and promised no involvement in foreign wars is now launching wars of choice in Nigeria, Venezuela, Syria, and Lebanon.

Meanwhile, he is verbally attacking our oldest and closest allies.

These declassified exchanges between Prez and W Bush in which I completely deny Ukraine's existence just prove the West provoked Russia by claiming it does.

This should once and for all remove the "Russia has justified security concerns because of NATO expansion"-narrative. Russia's concern with NATO was always that it would prevent Russia's imperial war. NATO was never the cause of the war. The NATO-argument was meant to slow support for Ukraine.
It's been there all the time with Putin. Revanchism is, apart from theft, one of Putin's big motivators. We could have stopped it, or prepared for it, already then. But no, 20 years of forced forgetfulness of history followed with maybe the worst generation of leaders ever.
Christmas came early to the Russia scholars with Santa declassifying the Bush-Putin meeting transcripts.

That's 2001. Ukraine is Russian land, simply given away for no reason, as if USSR had not collapsed and there was no Ukraine independence referendum. And, long before the 2008 Bucharest Summit

On Christmas Day, the Trump regime informed Americans, via a DHS tweet, that one only deserves the title of citizen of this nation—the designation "American"—if you accept Jesus of Nazareth as your Lord and Savior, i.e. are Christian.

You almost have to feel bad for an ugly old man with no family or friends to keep him company on Christmas Day that he makes 200 crazy posts ranting about everything under the sun.
