"Call a general election now" whinge-athon in full flow on X right now.
A lot of people seemingly ignorant to the fact that G.E's aren't triggered by crybabies signing petitions.

If Putin wanted to be in a direct military conflict with NATO, he would be. He wouldn't need an excuse but could easily invent one.

There is no scenario of a direct confrontation between NATO and Russia that ends in Putin's victory.

Either he falls, or we all die in nuclear fire.

He knows this.

Making an appearance on here to see how it goes.
Twitter has increasingly become the home of the eternally angry and unhinged who have disappeared down the rabbit hole.
Hoping that this place is slightly more balanced and nuanced. And fun!
Like the Twitter of old, before Eloon ruined it.
