Pavel Durov has finally grown tired of playing the "free speech" activist and is no longer hiding his ties to the Kremlin and his murderous homeland.

As Kyiv and other parts of Ukraine are bombed again tonight by ordinary Russians, it serves as a tragic reminder that the free world is repeating the mistake it made in 1940 when it failed to protect the UK from Nazi bombardment. Stopping the Russians now would avert a larger war in Europe.

The free world should take note that the Russian "Führer" has once again revealed his insatiable lust for more conquest. In a recent interview, he mentioned that "Donbas and Novorossya" will be "liberated." Below is a map of the imperialistic concept of […]

The fact that the Russians are intensifying their information warfare campaign to prevent the release of their frozen assets at Euroclear speaks to their enormous fear of losing access to the funds they need to continue their costly war of conquest in Ukraine.

It defies belief how countries that were themselves brutally colonized for centuries could stoop so low as to actively side with a brutal, imperialist empire that is waging a genocidal war of aggression.

The fact that a Kremlin operative feels comfortable insulting and belittling the head of Europe's most powerful nation speaks volumes about how closely the Russians think they are allied with the Trump clan. It's unfortunate that Merz reneged on his election promise to deliver 'Taurus' to Ukraine

The contrast speaks for itself. Clean-shaven and beaming, Witkoff eagerly licked the Russian boot, praising Moscow as a "magnificent city" during his meeting with the Russians. This is in stark contrast to his earlier meeting with the Ukrainians, when he was unshaven, disheveled, and in a bad mood.

This is the moment right after the Moscow meeting where Kremlin aide Ushakov confirms the colonialist nature of the so-called peace negotiations yet again.

John Bolton: "Whatever Putin might agree to in the near term, it'll only be to get some respite from the last nearly four years of war, and to prepare for the third invasion of Ukraine since 2014. There is no deal that's going to satisfy the Kremlin"

Europe has reached this threshold before, when a bloodthirsty nation, whipped up by hatred, promised to console itself with a piece of land. The sooner European nations intervene to prevent Russia from partitioning Ukraine, the less likely Russia will be able to invade Ukraine a third time.

The fact that the Russian Führer felt comfortable enough to threaten Europe with war again just before meeting with U.S. and Chinese envoys speaks volumes about the nature of the Moscow negotiations.

Here's some good news for those who still believe in Russian nuclear threats: Russia's failed test launch of its RS-28 Sarmat ICBM, captured by locals with the signature civilized Russian audio commentary, is a reminder that maintaining a nuclear arsenal is costly and that Russia is short on funds.

By making this comment the Russian 'special envoy' is essentially admitting that the US government is assisting the Russians in conquering Ukraine and handing Europe over to the Russian sphere of influence. If Europe does not take action now to prevent this, a much larger war will follow.
