Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.
Ukraine should air drop the Russian scum some swimming trunks, it'll be pretty chilly I expect 🥶
‼️Ukrainian Forces 🇺🇦 have retaken a significant amount of territory in the City of Kupyansk. Hundreds of Russian troops are semi-encircled, only able to leave by swimming across the Oskil. Ukraine controls 65% of Kupyansk, but weeks ago, Russia controlled nearly all of Kupyansk.

Too late, it was a done deal in Alaska...

What is this rubbish? Who writes such crap? There is no US diplomacy. Likkle Marco has gone AWOL & Witkoff & Kushner are running the show. The US has one objective & one only & that is to hand Ukraine to the Russian terrorist state & take a cut. That is not diplomacy, it's betrayal & surrender.
Thomas Graham argues that “the contours of a final settlement are visible” in Ukraine today—but achieving a peace deal will require “a sustained diplomatic effort” on Washington’s part:

Trump can defy the skeptics and seal the deal.

There is NFW that I'm going to give that level of information to any government even if they try and beat it out of me so I guess I've done by last trip to the USA.

PS: The UK is no longer your ally, no matter what Two Tier Keir Starmer says, we are out after Trump's abject betrayal of Ukraine.

Russian forces have gained 0.77 percent of Ukrainian territory since the start of 2025 while suffering disproportionately high personnel costs. Russian forces have suffered a total of 391,270 casualties in that time. (per ISW).

It's clear why Trump wants Ukraine to hand over the Donbas for free.
December 10, 2025 at 9:06 PM
The Russian Federation has notably recognized Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, and borders several times in the past three decades, including with its recognition of Ukraine independence in 1991, the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, and the 1997 Russian-Ukrainian Friendship Treaty. Trump can sod off!
December 10, 2025 at 9:02 PM
Once again it is not, never was, never will be a 'peace deal' it was just Kremlin drafted surrender terms. Anyway, There is NOTHING that the US has the right to offer to anyone concerning Ukraine. They should just sod off and focus on their own wars in America, they are neither use nor ornament.

The Kremlin’s cognitive warfare effort aims to achieve several of Putin’s original war aims through a negotiated settlement, as Russian forces are currently unable to achieve them on the battlefield

Clearly Trump is trying to give them Ukraine as an Xmas gift

The Kremlin is intensifying its cognitive warfare effort to present the Russian military and economy as able to inevitably win the war.

Was this another one of Trump's claimed great achievements at bringing peace to the world, like Gaza and Cambodia/Thailand? They are all unravelling quicker than his Presidency, as will his Kremlin drafted surrender deal for Ukraine.
December 10, 2025 at 7:30 PM
Zelenskyy is leading Ukraine into yet another bear trap set by the Putin/Trump Axis of Evil. I want to know who will be the first European 'leader' to have the guts to tell the Kremlin puppet Trump to take his 'peace' (really surrender) plan and shove it up his big fat orange arse.
⚡️ BREAKING: Zelenskyy says he has ordered Ukrainian lawmakers to prepare the legal groundwork for elections, stressing he will not allow political speculation against the country.

Have to come to the conclusion that this Belgian clown is yet another Kremlin puppet. What does he call Russia taking 25% of Ukraine then? With pricks like this in power all of Europe is going to be part of Imperial Russia in a few years.
❗️Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever called the European Commission's proposal to use frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a reparations loan “theft,” reports VRT NWS.

“There are certainly better solutions than stealing the Russian central bank’s money. This is a radical step.
December 10, 2025 at 7:18 PM
The glaring flaw here is that Putin's puppet Trump has never, ever issued any ultimatum to stop the war by the indicted war criminal that started it, Putin. No, he's blamed Biden, Zelenskyy, NATO, the EU in fact anybody EXCEPT Putin. He's a full blown Russian asset, of that there can be no doubt.
Trump's ultimatum to Zelenski to accept the "peace agreement" by Christmas or else:
trump knows Ukraine can win this war. It's clear trump wants a dictator to dictator relationship with all of them including Putin. He wants to control the world along with them. This our "businessman" president.
December 10, 2025 at 7:11 PM
I agree, stop fawing over the despicable orange oaf, he's Putin's man, has been for years, always will be. He's no friend of democracy, freedom & justice, but rather just a low life liar & felon, a dodgy dealer trying to sell Ukraine to his Kremlin masters, treat him accordingly.
Every word of this is true, and it breaks my heart: "America is no longer an ally. America has switched sides. She’s gone. America will not look after us. It won’t help Ukraine, and it could turn its back on anyone."

So can foreign leaders treat him like the traitor he is? No more red carpets!
It is time to wake up to a chilling truth – America has switched sides
The president has this week shown such disregard and contempt for ‘weak’ European allies that it is now beyond doubt what his ambition for the continent really amounts to – a desire to inflict Trumpis...

Too slow, too complicated, I finised my streamlined peace plan for Ukraine ages ago. Oh and I don't want a cut in any shoddy mafia-like deals either.
December 10, 2025 at 3:12 PM
Once again for the slow dumb ones at the back.

1. The Coalition of the Waffling is a waste of time, like a fire brigade that hide round the corner then turn up when your house is a pile of smoking ash.

2. Security Guarantees from the USA aren't worth jack, they are allies of Russia not Ukraine.
❗️Tomorrow the meeting of the “Coalition of the Willing” will take place, Le Monde reports

The meeting will be held via video conference. It will discuss security guarantees for Ukraine and the role of the United States in them.
December 10, 2025 at 3:01 PM
That's exactly it, an attempt to get Ukraine to surrender the Fortress Belt to preseve the Russian scum army for the next phase towards Zaporizhzhia & Kyiv. To be expected from the Russian scum but the fact that Trump is pushing for exactly the same thing is proof positive that he's a Russian asset.
Russia knows it cannot capture all of Ukraine on the battlefield, so the Kremlin is trying to force Ukraine into giving up territory at the table instead. It is a strategy to get what they cannot win militarily and to set up future attacks. (ISW)
December 10, 2025 at 1:45 PM
Just the sort of moronic ideas you'd expect from the USA, back to the 1953 model, that worked well didn't it. 70 odd years later & no progress & could start again any time. The USA keeps about 30,000 US troops near the DMZ plus the hardware. No way USA will fight for Ukraine against Russia, no way.
According to the Washington Post, the US is proposing a “Korean-style” scenario for Ukraine. The plan includes a demilitarized zone from Donetsk to Kherson, with both sides keeping territorial claims, similar to North and South Korea.

The Zaporizhzhia NPP would not remain under Russian control,
December 10, 2025 at 1:23 PM
Don't over analyse it, it's actually very simple & obvious. Trump is Putin's man, has been for a long time, always will be, it's the greed & kompromat, it trumps all. So of course he will spout the Kremlin line, which is anti Ukraine & anti Europe. However Russia's end target is the end of the USA.
Trying To Make Sense Of Trump’s Contempt For Europe

Donald Trump has doubled down on his criticism of Europe, calling it “weak” and “ decaying,” and of Ukraine, which he said has no chance because Russia is "bigger." Why so much hatred?

European 'leaders' are weak & inept but if they don't change course right now they condemn Europe to a much bigger & wider war than just Ukraine. NATO is a busted flush. The USA is now fully under control & dancing to the Russian tune now that their Kremlin poodle is back in the White House.
"EU leaders are quick to tweet that they 'stand with Ukraine'. But talk is cheap. Unless they are willing to follow words with action, Putin will rightly conclude that they are all mouth and no trousers."
Europe must stand with Ukraine, or they will fall together

Yes well that's because Trump (Orban & Fico) are compromised Kremlin puppets & the USA neutered. By root causes Lavrov means Russia being allowed to take over any country it wants to, Belarus, Hungary & Slovakia already in the bag, Ukraine fighting, The Baltics, Moldova, Finland all in planning.
Lavrov: "The US fundamentally understands that a lasting settlement is impossible without addressing the root causes of the crisis. Trump is the only Western leader who shows understanding of the reasons that made war in Ukraine inevitable."
December 10, 2025 at 11:24 AM
Europe should have stopped relying on the USA years ago, their intelligence services must know Trump is a compromised Kremlin puppet & if he got back into the White House he would turn the USA against Ukraine & then Europe. They've had years to get ahead of this, they wasted much of it in meetings.
The issue of declining US technological lead in the face of military developments in Ukraine - the first war since 1945 to drive major change in military tech, due to its scale - is interesting,as it is Ukraine's suppliers and partners who can most easily adapt.
December 10, 2025 at 8:55 AM
Bill Browder, who knows the Russian terrorist state very well, has called it right time after time on Ukraine. Being a compromised Kremlin puppet & surrounding himself with sycophantic morons Trump has done what I expected him to, taken the Kremlin line. Why do the the US Congress go along with it?
There are no "peace talks" being negotiated by Trump. This is entirely a mafa deal to enrich Trump's family and Trump's friends in exchange for Ukraine surrendering to the Russians their best fortifications in Donetsk that have been holding for 4 years.
December 10, 2025 at 8:50 AM
Why can't European 'leaders' wake up from their torpor and accept two simple facts:

1. Russia is not going to stop in Ukraine or elsewhere no matter how many meetings they have & peace (surrender) plans are tabled.

2. USA is defacto not an ally of Europe as it's now being run by a Kremlin puppet.
Lavrov: “Despite the need to recognize realities, London, Brussels, and most NATO and EU states continue to take a destructive stance on Ukraine, still clinging to the illusion of defeating us. Any hostile step, including stationing troops in Ukraine or seizing Russian assets, will be answered.”
December 10, 2025 at 8:35 AM
Zelenskyy is walking into one bear trap after another. There can be no guarantee of security, whatever the orange oaf & Kremlin puppet says or European 'leaders' promise. There can be no free & fair elections in occupied parts of Ukraine. Putin will not stop air strikes, shelling & other attacks.
December 10, 2025 at 8:26 AM
Odd world we live in nowadays. Some Russians are fighting hard for Ukraine's democracy and freedom while the cowardly, compromised, KGB poodle in the White House, President of the world's (former) leading democracy, wants Ukraine to surrender by Christmas (with 10% for the fat guy).
