Trump has no right to pose any demands on Ukraine:
1. He instantly stopped ALL financial and arms aid to Ukraine. US republicans continue to lie that the US is financing Ukraine & giving it arms. Stop lying!
2. Trump has repeatedly lied that the US has given $350 bn to Ukraine.

Consider Mexico. A thread.

Once upon a time, not even so very long ago, you would often hear from Russia's propagandists and their little helpers in the West about the "Mexico scenario".

Russia liked people to think that it only invaded its neighbours because it was forced to do so by NATO -

Putin's ambitions to conquer Ukraine and recreate the Russian Empire pose a once-in-a-generation threat to the whole of Europe. We cannot allow Trump to reward his aggression.

The Prime Minister must use this opportunity to call for Russia to be removed from the G20.

Far too much credibility is being given to the new ‘Trump peace plan’ that would be tantamount to Ukraine’s capitulation. Here I explain why this new plan is far less than it seems and is unlikely to lead to anything. (£/free trial), open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/y...?

How Trump has aggravated Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine:
1. Trump stopped all financial & military assistance to Ukraine in January 2025.
2. He posed no conditions or sanctions on Russia until mid-October, effectively encouraging Putin's aggression. /1
