A bullish Putin threatens to conquer all of Donbas and then turn his forces on Europe 'if we force him to'. Classic psychopath behaviour. Appeasing dictators only increases their appetites for evil, and so it's proving to be with Russia. @general-ben.bsky.social - youtu.be/hUdG2fwq_yE

Trump’s national security strategy shows the US is in a hybrid war against Europe and sees us as an enemy more than an ally.
The issue for him is that Europe has more to gain and the US more to lose if Europe becomes independent from the US

Now that DOGE has ended, we can conclude that it was the biggest scam of the decade.
No money was saved, US soft power was hurt, and thousands died for Elon Musk to protect his companies and get data on Americans. It’s insane that it was allowed

This is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else.

The Russian opposition and the depoliticised majority of the Russian population share the same colonising conception of the Kremlin. They view the Kremlin not as an institution Russia creates, but as a foreign power - an external authority that happens to rule them.
