For guys who hate the West, these oligarchs sure do love stashing their families + wealth there.

Threaten to nuke Paris where putin's own daughter lives? No chance. Stop being afraid of the kremlin.

This has really brought the bad actors out in force. Most were known but it's staggering just how many there are in the UK.
Better to know who people are & where they stand. People often assume I'm not pro-Ukraine due to race so they start conversations expecting empathy. 1/6

What the West refuses to do, Ukraine will. The escalation managers won't be in office to see it but this is what actual de-escalation looks like.

Justice will come to everyone responsible for crimes against humanity in Ukraine.

112 cruise missiles & 99 drones in one day.

If you want to discuss escalation & WWIII, focus on russia dumping its economy & population to destroy others. Focus on russia relying on North Korea, Iran & China to keep waging war.

Never blame Ukraine for self-defense.
November 18, 2024 at 7:58 AM
The incremental approach continues. Progress, one oblast at a time.

Ukraine should just let 'em loose. Self-defense is not escalation.

Yeah I could've told him that.

In Lviv, a 66-year old lady was killed in her car by russia's attacks. NATO could've protected her but again chose weakness.

Standing by while an arsonist burns your neighbour's house down, hoping he'd stop there, isn't deterrence. It's cowardly appeasement.

Close the skies over Ukraine.

If you're more upset about losing russian gas than russia using gas revenues to decimate Ukraine's energy systems, you are the problem.
November 17, 2024 at 7:34 AM
This is how Trump planned to end the war in 24 hours. This is what Scholz & Sullivan's de-escalation looks like.

Ukraine & its energy infrastructure systematically bombarded by russia, whose goal is to freeze them into death or submission, whichever comes first.

Our leaders' weakness is fatal.
November 17, 2024 at 6:31 AM
Just reminding everyone that russia's war was never about NATO.

In fact, NATO's appeasement & enrichment of russia + their lack of protection for Ukraine & Georgia facilitated russia's invasions.

The goal is conquest, genocide & subjugation. Always has been.
November 16, 2024 at 7:43 PM
Then have you considered, I dunno, removing that obstacle?
November 16, 2024 at 2:19 PM
putin has North Korea as a co-belligerent in a war on European soil, while Scholz refuses Taurus, openly projects fear of confronting russia & would never consider troops to defend Ukraine.

I'm sure putin will immediately bow to Scholz's escalation concern. What a farce.

Being a corrupt petrostate that funnels revenues into oligarch's pockets & waging wars, while mortgaging its future to China will inevitably cause economic collapse.

Instead of Western self-aggrandisement, we should accelerate this. Tighten sanctions & back Ukraine fully.
November 16, 2024 at 6:41 AM
Reminder that -
1. "Deals" with russia are illusory. Green corridors are used by russian forces to commit monstrous crimes (seen in Chechnya, Syria, Ukraine)
2. The war started in 2014 - Ilovaisk happened, Minsk I followed. Debaltseve happened, Minsk II followed. Useless.
November 15, 2024 at 6:24 PM
We will ensure the Sun rises.

For Ukraine. For Georgia. For Syria. For Chechnya. For all the victims of russian tyranny.

That's the mission.

Long live Dudayev.
November 15, 2024 at 5:40 AM
This should compel world leaders to intervene.

Anyone who finds this better than allowing long-range strikes, sending troops or designating russia as a terror state, they should at least have the decency to step aside and let others lead.

This happens daily. Never forget it.

An investigated sex trafficker is the new AG & a kremlin asset is the head of intelligence.

If you voted for Trump, this is what you endorse.
November 14, 2024 at 6:42 AM
This is exactly why this platform is important. We'll grow this together and ensure our voices are heard fairly.
November 13, 2024 at 6:26 AM
Since the Bucha massacre, we've allowed the decimation of -
1. Mariupol
2. Bakhmut
3. Avdiivka
4. Mar'inka
5. Chasiv Yar
6. Soledar
7. Vovchansk
8. Popasna
9. Rubizhne
10. Izyum
11. Vuhledar
+ countless villages & settlements.

"Never again" our leaders said.
Shameful.
November 12, 2024 at 2:29 PM
A new record has been sent - 1950.

russia lost nearly 2k personnel, 23 tanks, 81 armoured fighting vehicles & 38 artillery systems in a day and you think they can be reasoned with? Conquest trumps lives or materiel.

Help AFU finish the job - it's the only path to peace.
November 12, 2024 at 7:13 AM
Excellent. Support for Ukraine is in all of Europe's interest. Opposition should be pushing for more & ensuring accountability, not blocking aid & undermining delivery.
November 12, 2024 at 7:10 AM
On this day two years ago - the liberation of Kherson. Defying the same Western armchair "experts" who keep advising surrender & concession.

Ukraine is incredible. Believe in them & commit to victory.
November 11, 2024 at 10:18 AM
+1770.

Trump can cut support for Ukraine & propose terrible deals but he cannot "hand over Ukraine" to russia.

Ukraine will keep fighting because the alternative is infinitely worse. Ukraine is nobody's to "hand over".

Ukraine will win. Our support influences when.
