My account changed from Twitter to Bluesky and from the American flag to the Denmark and Canadian flag because of Trump. I can't understand his thoughts, they are far from justice and democracy.
Wow 😂, well done 🇺🇦
⚡️ WOW. Russian intelligence failure‼️

RDK commander Denis Kapustin is alive, and the half-million dollars allocated for his assassination will now strengthen special units of GUR.

Sanctions and attacks by Ukraine have collapsed Russia's oil revenues. RU sells oil at large discounts, and gets only $35 per barrel. After the US attacks on Venezuela, many shadow fleet ships on their way from Russia to the Caribbean have turned back.

If the West has avoided fighting Russia so far, why assume it would do so to defend Ukraine later?

The best security guarantees for Ukraine are a strong army and a defeated Russia, and Europe should transfer Russia’s frozen assets to make that happen

A video appeared in Russian media allegedly showing the crash of the Russian An-22 aircraft. It started falling apart in the air.

The aircraft was newly renovated and was on a test flight.

This 👇🏼 is excellent news, and ensures Europe/Ukraine can tell TrumPutin to stuff it on any (very likely) egregious peace proposal that they might cook up this Friday.
Interesting update of the Ukraine Tracker from the @kiel.institute - showing both that Europe has overtaken the US in overall military aid to Ukraine, and that the majority of new aid now comes from (European and Ukrainian) defence industry, rather than stockpiles:

Fully agree 👍
Even Israeli leaders are calling for crippling sanctions to end to the IDF's mass death machine in Gaza. And yet western leaders continue to pretend that just letting some food in will be enough.
Crippling sanctions are needed to deal with these war criminals.

As starvation worsens by the day in Gaza, the Netanyahu government has been using food as a weapon of war — with complicity from Trump and U.S. taxpayer dollars.

This is painful to listen to but here’s what a U.S. Army veteran and Green Beret who witnessed it first-hand recounted to me:

We need to identify the killers in the IDF and turn this information over to the international criminal court.
Not just the soldiers killing the children but their superiors as well.
All the way up to the Israeli cabinet.

Watch and listen to Charlie's video, he is right once again. Trump, Netanyahu and Putin are the problem makers.
Here are my thoughts on Trump's bombing of Iran.
Just two months ago the US was looking to broker a deal with Teheran. Netanyahu was not going to let that happen. He suckered the United States into providing cover for his forever war.
The world stands at the brink.

Great job👍
Today, we laid out our proposal to ban Russian gas imports by the end of 2027.

Europe has already cut its dependence drastically. Now, we’re turning off the tap for good.

Russia will no longer be able to use energy as a weapon against us.
