Told Bru (8 yr old Siberian Husky) to “go lay down,” because he started responding to it, so I clearly can’t correct my own grammar NOW, and he did, and I said “GOOD boy!” and he looked at me like “OBviously.”

Ya know…if FDT is finally stepping into WW3, all I can say is IT’S ABOUT GD TIME. Maybe NOW we can stop russia’s genocide of Ukraine?! LFG!!!

“Words are important.” And THIS is what it takes for you to realize that? “Thank you for your [disgustingly late] attention to this matter.”

“Pro” tip, “bro”: putin doesn’t GAF how many russians are dead. russians don’t care how many russians are dead! (Mama probably got a blow dryer or some sh!t out of it) And NOBODY cares if you think you “coulda” stopped this - stop it NOW!!

ZERO Ukrainian civilians should be “lost,” i.e. MURDERED.
⚡️20,000 Russian troops killed in July alone, Trump says.

The U.S. president added that Ukraine has suffered an estimated 8,000 military deaths since January, not including missing personnel.

🚨 Cluster bombs in Kyiv. Again.

This morning, Russia struck a residential area of the capital with cluster munitions. Mayor Klitschko confirmed the use of prohibited weapons.

This is not just terror. This is a deliberate hunt for civilians.👇

⚡️ Without a hint of irony, Putin offers condolences for 'civilian casualties' in Iran, condemns Israel's 'violations' of UN Charter.

Russia has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, and the true extent of the death toll is simply not known.

The conversations took place just hours after Russia launched its own missile and drone assault on Ukraine.

I can’t understand why Ukraine has to demonstrate, over and over again, how useless negotiations are without a ceasefire, and how foolish anyone is for believing that putin is in any way serious about peace. Everyone knows how this will go.

What a shocker - confirmation the Zelenskyy is, as a matter of fact, acting in accordance with the people’s wishes. Like a democratically elected president should. It’s a novel concept (again). Was novel 249 years ago, too…but we failed to make it stick.
⚡️Majority of Ukrainians unwilling to trade territory or Western path for peace, poll shows.

The poll showed that 56.9% of respondents would not be willing to compromise on either territorial integrity or Ukraine’s pro-Western direction in any potential talks with Moscow.

This is what russian “ceasefire” looks like. It’s not that they have a different definition. They’re just criminals and liars.
Russia launched a glide bomb attack on Kostiantynivka tonight, striking an apartment building. At least 13 people have been injured, and 2 have been resqued from the rubble.

…he kept talking. 🤦‍♀️ Clearly Ukraine just needs to stop complaining about #russianWarCrimes. 🤬
3. The Ukrainians agreed to a 30-day ceasefire, but it is not in Russia's strategic interests

4. Let's step over the 30-day ceasefire and think about the parameters of a peace agreement.

5. We are irritated that both sides are constantly complaining about each other.

…well, I was going to say “omg he said something rational,” but then…
🇺🇸🇺🇦🇷🇺 Short theses from the interview with J.D. Vance.

1. The Russians are asking for too much, but that's OK, we will think about how to narrow the gap between the parties.

2. They will have to start a direct dialogue in any case, without this nothing will happen.

Someone needs to remind the elected officials of what used to be America that Zelensky does not have the authority to accept any peace deal that cedes territory to russia. Unlike America, Ukraine is still a democracy.
⚡️Zelensky: Ukraine will only discuss occupied territories after a ceasefire is reached.

Crimea must be returned diplomatically, and Ukraine is open to discussing its territories only after a full, unconditional ceasefire has been reached, President Volodymyr Zelensky said on April 25.

"We are ready for dialogue in any... format, at any time, but only after a real signal that Russia is ready to end the war," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

🕊️🇷🇺🇺🇦 "Easter Truce"

🗣️ This looks like a provocation, since Ukraine's refusal to participate in this unplanned truce could be used by Russia to have the American administration blame Ukraine.

Russia also often uses such truces to regroup troops, replenish supplies, and prepare for new offensives.

Crimea is Ukraine.
Donetsk is Ukraine.
Luhansk is Ukraine.

That’s a fact.

Russia’s “referenda” in these territories were shams, held at gunpoint. That’s also a fact.

Facts matter.

The people claiming to represent the U.S. don’t get to decide what is Ukraine. Ukrainians already did that. In 1991.

The “U.S.” “negotiation” team can GET BENT.
🤬 The U.S. has ruled out Ukraine returning to its 2014 borders (before the annexation of Crimea) or even its 2022 borders (before the full-scale invasion), - Sky News correspondent reporting directly from Saudi Arabia.

I came here to say this.

I mean. What. The actual. FUCK.
Senator Mark Kelly was commander of the Space Shuttle. He flew four missions to space. He flew 39 combat missions in Iraq. He went to visit Ukraine for himself & is calling for its freedom to be defended.

So, Elon Musk brands him a "traitor".

I’m careful with language on this site.

Fuck Musk.
