Russia claiming to support a country's right to defend its sovereignty is like a sex offender claiming to support age of consent laws.

Russland wäre viel glaubwürdiger mit den Ankündigungen, niemanden angreifen zu wollen, wenn Russland damit aufhören würde, andere anzugreifen.
Wenn Russland jetzt eine „Nichtangriffsgarantie“ gegen EU und NATO geben will, sollte man bedenken, dass der Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine nach offizieller russischer Lesart „Verteidigung“ ist. Die wahre Nichtangriffsgarantie wäre, wenn Russland in seine Grenzen zurückkehrt.

Die Ukraine ist derzeit unsere vorderste und fast einzige funktionierende und erfahrene Verteidigungslinie. Wollen unsere Regierungen und Völker wirklich, dass die Front bei uns verläuft? Wirklich? 😡

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the agenda-setting and flood of disinformation that spread on X and other platforms right after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s far from the first or last time a tragedy has been weaponized for political purposes.

I am old enough to remember that today is the day Trump wanted to impose secondary sanctions on all those who buy Russian oil if Russia does not agree to an unconditional ceasefire in Ukraine.

Putin has committed the Russian state to a global war on democracy. The existence of any nation that has free and fair elections is now seen as a threat to the power and control of any dictator at home.

I agree with this about Putin. He has locked himself into a position that leads to the destruction of Russia. The West is still living in a dream world about a reasonable, realistic Russia that can be negotiated with.
He is not risking everything. He has no other choice if he wants to survive. He will never never give up the chosen path. Thinking about peace is western dreaming without any realism nor evidence.

It’s exactly two weeks now since Trump said he needed two weeks to decide if he was going to sanction Russia more harshly. I’m sure we will get an announcement very soon….
Just a reminder--it was 13 days ago that Donald Trump said he needed two weeks to decide whether to push for harder sanctions on Russia.
When he, inevitably, fails to do so--can we have a retraction published for every story/commentary that took his BS on this seriously?
