❗ Possibly the biggest #Security failure in modern #USA history One of the most comically incompetent lineups in recent U.S. politics – Waltz, Vance, Hegseth, Ratcliffe, and others – reportedly planned strikes on Yemen’s Houthis in a #Signal group chat, where they accidentally added The Atlantic’s editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg and let him listen in on classified #intelligence and strike locations - hours before they happened. Possibly the dumbest story of this administration's (so far) 💬 But the messages also reveal how much the men h@te Europeans, and how they view every relationship not as an alliance but as a protection racket The leaks laid bare Trump admin priorities: 1. Disdain for Europe 2. Protect Saudi interests 3. Extort Europe This administration is Putin's ultimate fantasy. These guys inherited one of the most functional state apparatus in the history of the world and are running it like a crack house. #Journalism

🚀 Russians respond to #Ukraine's offer of a ceasefire by sending ballistic missiles into Odesa, striking a Barbados flagged cargo ship carrying wheat from Odesa port to Algeria. 🌾 It was about to transport wheat to Algeria. As the #Food produced in Ukraine helps feed the world. 4 people in the crew were 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝: 3 Syrians and 1 Ukrainian ☝ Russians just responded to Ukraine's calls for a ceasefire with missile strikes on several cities. Moscovia's so-called ceasefire is just a smokescreen for their aggression. Attacking a cargo ship carrying wheat? That's pure cowardice. Russia doesn't want peace at all.

☢️ Folks, 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 give up your nuclear weapons. Just look at what happened to #Ukraine 🚀 I used to believe in nuclear disarmament. That the world would be better off without such weapons. Now I know I was wrong. The #USA convinced Ukraine to abandon their Soviet nuclear Arsenal, in exchange for promises to keep the country safe. Now look how America is abandoning the country just 20 (Crimea) and now 30 years later. If this keeps up, no one will ever believe western #security guarantees ever again. Better get some nukes while you can

“We are now three weeks past Ukraine’s unconditional ceasefire offer, and still no Russia. They’re just playing games.” 🎤 #EU’s chief diplomat Kaja Kallas in Madrid, Today marks three weeks since #Ukraine agreed to a ceasefire. Since then, Russia has obstructed and evaded efforts for peace. Still dodging - because peace was never the goal. ☝️ Moscow wants victory, and will use "peace talks" as a means to achieve it. To demand Ukraine stops striking the russian oil industry, to delay further western aid to Ukraine and decrease western support To buy time and re-arm - and try again later. 🕊️ To every so-called “neutral observer” out there: Where’s your peaceful Russia now? Ukraine said yes. Russia said nothing. Because they don’t want peace. And the world sees it. Only fools pretend otherwise. #Leadership #Strategy

🇱🇹 On March 11th, 1990, #Lithuania declared their independence from Moscow, escaping decades of Soviet rule. Russia had responded with 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 - as it always has. 14 people were 𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐝 during this fight for independence. It showed that even as the Soviet Union fell, nothing has changed for the Russian mindset. Tanks were sent in to take control of Lithuanian #media with aim of installing their propagandists. 📺 These protests concentrated around the Kaunas #TV tower seized by Moscow, who reasoned "he who controls the media controls the mind of the public" - ironically a quote from Chomsky, himself a Putin apologist. We seem the same tactics today: #propaganda is Russia's #1 tool to disarm their targets. A lesson the West has yet to realize. 📣 This time they took out independent journalists & media reporting both in Russia & occupied territories to stop truths of the war the wage against #Ukraine And yet western f00ls like Vance lectures them on freedom of speech... 🙄 Worse, this time Moscow managed to get most of the media in North America to report propaganda all day & night. They even installed a propaganda repeater in the White House... #History #Journalism
