For 10 years now, Europe has reacted to every new Trump absurdity with the same response: outrage, handwringing, paralysis. We need to stop staring at the American car crash and finally start driving.
Trump serves only himself. Europe must act for itself.👇

Dear Europe, especially Germany,
Stop obsessing over what Trump will or won’t do. Hoping & praying America will step up so we don’t have to is dangerously stupid.
Step up yourself, destroy Russia’s war economy, & give Ukraine what they need to win.
Europe must defend Europe.

Another huge Russian air raid on democratic Ukraine overnight on July 11-12. 500-700 drones, 15 cruise missiles, targeting mainly Lutsk, Lviv, Chernivsti in west Ukraine. 2 killed, 14 injured in Chernivtsi. Fascist Russia continues its campaign of terror against Ukrainian cities.

Uggh, I can't even imagine having to do this every night! It's a total embarrassment and totally sickening that NATO won't and can't do more. This is inhumane. Over three years of this shit. Shame on the govts, specifically Trump, on not ending this war. It could be stopped overnight w the ambition.
⚡️ Kyiv at 3:00 AM. Sirens wail, sending children, in pajamas, running to bomb shelters. The explosions of missiles & drones nears.
In the heart of Europe, right now, civilians are being murdered.
👉 End the Putin Regime.

This is happening because we - Australia, America, Europe and others, politicians and citizens - do not want to do what needs to be done to stop it. We are unwilling risk our lives or too much treasure to help #Ukraine resist Putin now. 1/2
Just look at this. Russia launched 728 drones at Ukraine tonight — the most so far. The attacks are escalating. Russia grows bolder with every delay and every silence.

Utter barbarism: Cluster munitions released by a Russian missile tear through a residential area in Kyiv early on June 17 during a massive air attack by fascist Russia on the capital of democratic Ukraine. At least 15 dead and 114 injured by combined drone and missile air raid.

Last night Russia attacked a European capital with ballistic missiles and hundreds of drones. Today the story barely registers in international news headlines.
Western normalization and acceptance of Russian atrocities in Ukraine is what makes them possible.

1/4. If the US were engaged in an attempt to bring peace to Ukraine, it would place more tariffs on Russia, rather than exempt Russia entirely.

Ceasefire pressure from the US has tied Ukraine's hands, not only making it once again safe for Russians to fire missiles from the Black Sea onto Ukraine's cities, but protecting Russia's oil infrastructure.

Russian terror isn't getting attention either any longer. Every newspaper should be draped in black each time this happens. Leaders should flock to the cameras. Instead we have a deafening silence. Shame on all of us for accepting this.

14 dead, five of them children. Over 50 people injured. The numbers continue to increase.

Mafia States
An important obstacle to combating the spread of mafia states is a basic lack of awareness among ordinary citizens and policymakers about the extent of the phenomenon.

Of course. Anybody who don't see this is an utter fool, or a liar. Russia makes no concessions, Ukraine surrenders. That's the "negotiations" that are going on.
This isn’t a peace plan, it’s a trap to force our surrender. Siding with Russia never helped anyone. Putin isn’t negotiating—he wants our capitulation. Ukraine will remain strong 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

The mistake is to think Zelensky could have salvaged this. Trump admin just doesn’t want to support Ukraine. Period. There was also never going to be a peace agreement. That’s been clear but everyone has been pretending otherwise. There can be no confusion now.
