Anyone who cares about Europe's future and loathes Putin should want this plan to succeed. It's the single most important decision Europe can take for its own defence and Ukraine's survival. America is lost. www.ft.com/content/3c23...

Footage has surfaced online showing unarmed Ukrainian prisoners of war executed while lying face down, accompanied by the approving shouts of those filming the scene.
This is not an isolated atrocity, it is russia’s pattern. Execution. Torture. Destruction.

Expected. Although, the headline should have been "US threatens to cut intel, weapons to press Ukraine to surrender" Because that peace deal is nothing but capitulation.

As Trump openly sides with Russia while trying to force Russia’s maximalist demands on Ukraine, remember this:
We have proof he is being blackmailed by Russia thanks to Epstein’s help. It’s in the Epstein emails.
Trump should not even be involved in the negotiations

At its peak in March 2022, Russia occupied almost 30% of Ukraine. Over one million casualties and almost four years later, it occupies around 20%. What a failure!

Key things to remember
1/9 This is for those with short memory and for the Trump administration:
Russia gave many excuses for invading Ukraine.
None were legitimate.
We must remember this and understand the root causes if we want to end the war one day

1/13 What does Project 2025 mean for American foreign policy?
It is not just a domestic threat.
It is a blueprint for isolationism, authoritarianism, and the collapse of US global leadership.
Allies should be alarmed. Enemies are already celebrating
