5/ However, sustained low oil prices will eventually erode this resilience. For conventional fields, Russia’s production becomes unprofitable around $40–$50 per barrel, highlighting the vulnerability of its energy sector to prolonged price slumps. Currently, it is ~$65 per barrel.

4/ The irony is stark: while accepting a catastrophic USD $11.1 trillion loss, they denounce the USD $182.8 billion that, in fact, strengthened homegrown production and supported vital economic activity. In essence, the stock market losses are ~60 (sixty) times greater than the Ukraine expenditure.

1/ Some factions within the GOP and MAGA camp have grudgingly accepted that the Trump administration has lost around USD $11.1 trillion since 17 January 2025—a staggering economic failure that speaks volumes about their mismanagement and ambivalence to the damage they are inflicting.🧵

Should Elon Musk, Trump, Vance, or anyone else tell you that you should exclude government spending from a GDP prediction such as this one showing contraction in the US economy under Trump, they are trying to manipulate you and lie to you that what they are doing is OK.

In the aftermath of the outrageous bullying of Zelensky at the White House today, this is the difference between the President of Ukraine and the President of the United States.

9/ In summary, while the meeting was marred by unpleasant decorum from Trump and Vance, Zelensky’s unwavering call for dialogue reinforces that true strength lies in unity. Their missteps—undermining respect, diplomacy, and solidarity—are especially concerning when faced with Russian aggression.

8/ As the international community watches Russia’s ongoing incursions, it becomes even clearer that respectful, measured diplomacy is essential. Discord in our own ranks only weakens the united front that Ukraine and Europe so desperately need, as does the United States.

6/ Throughout the discussion, Zelensky consistently advocated for diplomacy over confrontation—a stance crucial in an era when Russian forces continue to assert pressure, and when unity among democracies remains our strongest asset.

5/ In a further exchange, Trump’s repeated assertion that Ukraine was in peril seemed to overshadow Zelensky’s measured calls for dialogue. Such remarks risk undermining the united front essential to support Ukraine and Europe in these troubled times.

4/ Trump later warned that “your country is in big trouble,” a statement that, though recognising Ukraine’s challenges, came across as dismissive of the resilience and determined leadership that has been vital in countering Russian aggression.

2/ The exchange became very uncomfortable when Vance remarked to President Zelensky about the absence of a “thank you” during the meeting—a comment that, while he may believe was intended to stress courtesy, was deeply unhelpful and out of step with the gravity of the situation.

1/ On 28 Feb 2025, a White House meeting took an unsettling turn. In a session that should have fostered constructive dialogue, Vice-President JD Vance and Donald Trump expressed frustrations that fell short of diplomatic decorum.

10/ In summary, Orbán, Fico, and Kobakhidze are deeply problematic: they peddle anti‑corruption rhetoric while engaging in corruption themselves, use bogus charges to victimise opponents, conceal vast wealth, and are fervently pro‑Russia—jeopardising democracy and public trust. 🧵🔚

1/ Elon Musk’s initial alignment with Nigel Farage & Reform UK stemmed from shared anti-establishment rhetoric & populist appeal. Musk’s critique of legacy media & Farage’s Brexit-era brand overlapped, creating a superficial alliance. 🧵

6/ Distance is another factor. Bases in Sudan or Libya would stretch Russian logistics. Unlike Tartus & Khmeimim, they are farther from Russian supply lines, making sustained operations difficult, especially given existing resource strains from the Ukraine war.

It's always just a matter of time before a Russian merchant of disinformation arrives to blatantly lie to everyone's face. Much like the Kremlin does on a daily basis.
