🎤 "#NATO was built to fight ONE war - to save free Europe from russian aggression! And #Ukraine is the only country fighting this war."

“This is the best performance Putin could hope for — a room full of leaders without a single straight answer!
 
It’s not about how many weapons you have. It’s not about ammunition. It’s about whether you are willing to fight and die for freedom.
 
Yes, it’s nice that NATO has a Canadian-led brigade in Latvia. But what’s their order if Russian troops cross the border? Will they shoot? We all know the answer. It will take ages to negotiate. There is no clarity. No resolve.
 
And yet we are still debating a “peace deal” drafted by a business partner of Donald Trump. A real estate transaction disguised as #strategy – designed to enrich Trump’s family while selling Ukraine’s future.
 
How can we seriously discuss forcing Ukraine to dismantle defensive fortifications that are literally protecting #Europe ?
 
We're celebrating NATO. But let’s be honest: NATO is not strong right now. NATO barely exists. It’s four letters on paper.
 
The only reason we are sitting here today, comfortably talking about NATO, is because Ukraine is dyiпg every minute. If Ukraine hadn’t stood its ground, Russian tanks would already be in Poland. You offered President Zelenskyy a ride out — he replied: “I don’t need a ride. I need ammunition.”
 
Four years Ukraine has been fighting Europe’s war. Russia has been preparing for only one kind of conflict: a war to destroy free Europe. And Ukraine is the only country fighting that war right now.
 
And yet here we are — still debating whether Ukraine should be included or not. Ukraine is the only nation fulfilling NATO’s purpose. And we owe them everything.”

☝️ Gary Kasparov is one of the very few voices of reason today. A member of thee russian opposition who stands up for Ukraine in ways many of us won't.

And Kasparov is 100% right. NATO is a joke, Trump is a grifter selling out Europe’s #security and Ukraine is saving all our a**es while we squabble.

🇺🇸 Next president of #USA ? 
"When Donald Trump was driving the Taj Mahal casino into bankruptcy, I was getting sh0t at over Iraq and Kuwait.

In 2001, after Donald Trump said that the collapse of the Twin Towers now meant he now owned the tallest skyscraper in Manhattan, I was carrying flags honoring 911 victims into space on a rocket ship.

In 2003, when Donald Trump was writing birthday greetings to the monster, Jeffrey Epstein, I was the first on the scene to recover the bodies of my fellow astronauts who diєd when Space Shuttle Columbia exploded during re-entry.

In 2011, when Trump was hosting a reality show, and peddling conspiracy theories against President Barack Obama, I was sitting next to my wife’s hospital bed as she recovered from a guпshot wouпd to the head."

Kelly drew the contrast Trump fears most:

A life of service vs. a life of scams.

📌 America isn’t collapsing because of external enemies.

It’s collapsing because its elites reward narcissism over service, narratives over honor, and corruption over truth.

Kelly is just pointing out the obvious.

#Leadership #PublicSpeaking

🇺🇸 #USA Surrender, or else.
🇺🇦 #Ukraine No. Or else what?

US: We will stop aid!
Ukraine: You already did.

US: We will not give you weapons.
Ukraine: You already don’t. 

US: We will pressure #Europe not to buy weapons for you.
Ukraine: You already did. They told you to go to the devil and stopped buying your weapons until your own companies forced you to back off.

US: We will help Russia.
Ukraine: You already are.

US: We will impose tariffs on you.
Ukraine: You already did.

US: We won’t guarantee your #security
Ukraine: You already betrayed the last guarantee.

US: We won’t be allies.
Ukraine: You already stopped being one.

US: You have no cards.
Ukraine: If that were true, you’d have power over us. 

US: Surrender, or else.
Ukraine: Go fluff yourself, Kremlin concubine.

You have no power over free people.

"We are finally FREE!"
📸 Liberation of Kherson, 2022. The smile and joy as he says "NO RUSSIANS" is so infectious.

We in the "Free World" have no clue what #freedom actually means.

It's something our ancestors fought and diєd for. Something we now take for granted.

We have no clue what freedom actually means.

But this guy does.

#Ukraine does.

That is why they fight the invaders.

And that is why we must #StandWithUkraine

🖼 #Ukraine rejects Sultan’s Ultimatum, then and now.

Repin depicted Ukrainian soldiers drafting their rejection of an ultimatum from the Ottoman Empire. 

Modern soldiers replicated this classic piece of Ukrainian #history

☝️ Both wouldn't let the threats and demands of some wannabe dictator bully them into disarming and subjugation.

Of course russia stole this #art work from the people of Ukraine. It's currently in the Hermitage in St Petersburg.

Rudolf Doldersum

☝️ This isn't Hiroshima in August or Dresden in February 1945.
This is Vovchansk, #Ukraine in December 2025 - just before Christmas.

And we in #Europe just let it all happen, all over again, while whispering "not our war..."

Just like last time.

#History

🇬🇪 Tonight marks the 365th day of uninterrupted protest by the brave people of #Georgia against a tyrannical, illegitimate regime, one prompted by and subservient to Russia. 

Georgia will be free!

🇺🇦 The time for hesitation is over. The world must stand with #Ukraine now.

President Zelenskyy’s address laid out the brutal reality: “a very difficult choice… either loss of dignity or risk of losing a key partner,” and the threat of an extremely hard winter.

Yet he insists Ukraine “will definitely not give the enemy reason to say that Ukraine does not want peace.”

⚙️ His message to partners like the 🇺🇸#USA was clear: cooperation continues, calmly and constructively, but freedom is non-negotiable. Ukraine won’t be coerced into some Kremlin-approved “peace” that trades sovereignty for silence.

🔥 He called Ukrainians “titans” and “made of steel,” but warned that even steel can bend under enough pressure. 

Which is why the West cannot let the shield crack. russia would love nothing more than to frame Kyiv as the obstacle, and the information pressure next week will be intense.

🧩 At home, he demanded unity: “stop the mess, stop political games.” A warring parliament and government must act as one, especially when Moscow’s #disinformation is working overtime to divide them.

💛 His final line hit hardest: they did not betray Ukraine in February 2022, “and will not do it now.” The strength of the Ukrainian people, and their belief in their state, is what keeps dignified peace even imaginable.

The choice is ours too. #Europe must support Ukraine now, or watch the cracks appear where the Kremlin wants them most.

Bruno Chevolet

Occupation is 𝐧𝐨𝐭 Peace.
☝️ For those still in the dark: russian occupation means detention camps, t0rture, vi0lence, mutilati0ns, and кillings.

And all who pretend otherwise are part of the problem.

📈 Putin can't launch his next war without first mobilizing #Ukraine’s massive resources, strategic location and surviving population. In EVERY area of Ukraine that russians have managed to occupy, all men are forced into the russian #military as first-line cannon fodder, merely to absorb Ukrainian artillery and drone strikes.

This is why 16% of the 'russian' soldiers taken prisoner turn out to be Ukrainian men from occupied territories, forced to fight their own country.

No amount of ceasefires will stop this 𝐚𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐞.

And the real кilling doesn't start until Russia is given control of land. Look at ANY area of Ukraine (or Georgia or Chechnya) that Russians have managed to occupy - t0rture and worse, l00ting, кilling at an industrial scale.

🚫 It happens off camera, in basements, with a captive population. We get little footage of this - below is an exception.

And this is why the #Ethics community struggles to show to vain, peaceful westerners why occupation is not peace. The #Data about occupation is either missing or too grues0me to show.

But we know the mass 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬 near occupied Mariupol are growing, year after year. We can see this from space.

Visit Ukraine to understand, feel what it's like to be b0mbed night after night, before you talk about "stopping the кilling" - because surrender to Moscow surely won't stop it.

Pacifism is a Privilege. 

#Journalism #Intelligence

🇺🇸 The Trump–Vance war has started. And no, this isn’t just Trump vs Democrats.

Trump is now fighting an internal war against his own VP Vance and the billionaires who put him there. Vance is backed and owned by Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and their circle. They picked him as VP for one reason: to make him president. 

To Thiel and Musk, Trump was a stepping stone.
They needed him to get their candidate in, to open the door to power.

📍 Now that he’s old and unpopular, they need him gone fast. Every day he stays weakens and stains Vance. They want time to make Vance popular before 2028 in the #USA

Look at Taylor Greene, Massie, Boebert suddenly turning on Trump. The thread is right: they’re not doing it for Democrats. They’re doing it for Thiel and Musk 👀

This billionaire bloc owns the new MAGA faction. They want Trump out ASAP so Vance can rise without being tainted by Trump’s collapse.

😏 And if anyone thinks hostile takeovers only happen in #business - welcome to the political edition.

Stefan ️

"I wish to remind our allies that #NATO was created to defend the West against the Soviet aggression, that is against Russia. And its foundation was solidarity, not egoistic interests. I hope that nothing has changed."
☝️ A dire warning from Donald Tusk of #Poland

NATO wasn’t built to gift Putin more territory, like that of #Ukraine - it was built to stop exactly that.

Solidarity means saying no when Trump tries to hand Russia the keys to #Europe

And Ukraine is doing what NATO was founded to do - stop russian aggression. The least we could do is not leave them alone.

Ian McCann

🎨 No one outside of #Ukraine should ever have the audacity to claim they're tired of this war.

💡 Trump and Putin both push for false "Peace" because both are weak. 

Just remember, the reason why #USA's Trump and his dogs like Elon are pushing so hard is because #Ukraine is winning this war. Their handlers in Moscow are sending their orders that something must be done to save Russia. 

🛢️ As russian is trading at $36 dollars a barrel. Their army is getting destroyed and the only hope they have for Russia to survive is to manipulate a Ukrainian surrender.

But Ukraine won’t surrender, and Europe won’t give up on them. 

Because Ukraine is Europe, If we cannot save Ukraine then European values account for nothing and there is nothing left to save.

📉 Putin needs money so is now selling the states gold reserves and jailing oligarchs, including those in the #military - and now we suddenly get calls for "negotiations" and a "peace plan" from Putin's buddy Trump.

Coincidence?

📉 Meanwhile, Trump is also politically weakened right now. He had to back down on the Epste1n files, he failed to overturn New York's election, and the pressure around him is rising by the day. On top of that, he is sinking in the polls. He badly needs a distraction, too.

☝️ This is exactly the moment when #Europe need to show strength. He is unpredictable and reacts to whatever is put in front of him. If Europe fills the space with clarity and resolve, he responds. 

When Europe hesitates, Russia grabs territory and momentum. 

Right now is the time to act with confidence.

📸 New mural has appeared in Ternopil, dedicated to children кilled in Russia’s attack.

The #art piece, showing a child shielding her toys from a Russian missile, was created by artist Andriy Yermolenko. He described it as “a cry for help to the global community.”  

“The girl protecting her toys — that’s all she has. This is my cry for help. As an artist, I can speak about it through my work.”

☝️ This is Yermolenko’s sixth mural honoring children lost to the war in #Ukraine - He has previously created similar works in Lviv, Zaporizhzhia, and Sweden.

A child with a shield painted on a wall has more courage than half our “leaders” still sending polite notes to the Kremlin - who, on November 19, кilled seven children in the Russian strike on Ternopil.

Stepan Suvorov

💡 European counter-plan. #Ukraine's #NATO membership up to NATO; no territorial concessions; ceasefire along contact line; no cap on Ukrainian military; EU membership; reconstruction to be paid by Russia

The Telegraph published a 24-point European counter-plan proposing ceasefire at current lines, NATO-style US #security guarantees for Ukraine, return of abducted children and prisoners, Ukrainian control of Zaporizhzhia plant and Kakhovka dam, plus reconstruction funded by frozen Russian assets.

☝️ It's a far more realistic plan. Which means that, of course, Moscow will never accept it. They never intended to accept any peace plan - only to extract concessions.

When can we send those Tomahawks?

Russia attacks = no escalation 
#Ukraine defends = escalation
Very suspicions #Journalism by #BBC

🛢And if you honestlt think this is a Ukrainian escalation, you missed Russia directly targeting a Ukrainian LPG ship at port causing the evacuation of towns in Romania.

📉 I don’t know why Moscow is crying about power plants being hit all over Donetsk and in russia itself. Weren’t they the ones dreaming of #Ukraine without electricity? And wasn't it Moscow who blackmailed all of #Europe with #energy for decades?

Plus #Ukraine always releases such excellent footage of their #drone strikes (including secondary strikes here, allowing us to see the damage caused by the first strike) so it's no use denying the attacks hit their targets.

But Moscovites will deny it anyway...

Jennifer Bernal

📺 Russian State #TV admits the 'peace plan' is just a surrender agreement
If you asking yourself: "maybe Trump's peace plan not bad at all for #Ukraine and not such good for Russia?"

📢 Just watch this fresh clip of Russian central #Propaganda show! 📢

1) Russians admit that this "plan" nothing else than so-called "Istanbul agreements" + new territorial demands. They were unrealistic in 2022 and now even worse for Ukraine.

2) Admitting that most of the "US peace plan" points are the SAME as russia's own demands - so called "aims of SMO".

3) Russians openly mock #USA President Trump's attempts to show "pressure on both sides" when he talks about possible sanctions against Russia. They call it a show for the Americans.

4) And it's very telling how they mock President Trump's personal guarantees of #security for Ukraine, claiming that the only guarantee against a new attack is Ukraine's renunciation of its "anti-Russian" nature.

In other words, anything in Ukraine's future domestic policy that Russia doesn't like will be a pretext for a new war.

🚨 #Europe in its current state will be defeated if Russia invades. Europeans must prepare for war instead of dreaming of an imminent Russian collapse.
- Russia will attack the #Baltics before Europe is ready and can do so prior to any end to war in Ukraine.
- Europe can't counter Russian drones and will run out of munitions within weeks

"All empires cease to exist when faced with barbarian hordes." Chief Spy Budanov points out.

☝️ Not because Putin is strong —
but because Europe is lazy, divided, and still pretending this is “Ukraine’s problem.”

If #Ukraine is the shield and it falls,
does anyone seriously think Riga, Warsaw or Berlin are ready for what comes next?

☝️ Witkoff is Trump. There’s no “good Trump“ on #Ukraine
#Europe has to wake up and understand we're going it alone. No more groveling to Daddy. The #USA has its own agenda. And is no longer on the good guys side.

Make #Money Not War: Trump's Real Plan for Peace in Ukraine

"Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land," Steve Witkoff says.

Witkoff, who hasn't traveled to Ukraine this year, is set to visit Russia for the sixth time next week and will again meet Putin. 

🎤 Donald Tusk offered a pithy summary: "We know this is not about peace. It's about business."

Sanctioned billionaires of Russia — Gennady Timchenko, Yuri Kovalchuk, and the Rotenberg brothers, Boris and Arkady — have sent representatives to quietly meet American companies.

Earlier this year, Exxon Mobil met with Russia's biggest state energy company, Rosneft, to discuss returning to the massive Sakhalin gas project.

Gentry Beach, a college friend of Donald Trump Jr. and campaign donor to his father, has been in talks to acquire a stake in a Russian Arctic gas project.

Stephen P. Lynch, who paid $600,000 this year to a lobbyist close to Trump Jr., is seeking to obtain a Treasury Department license to buy the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from a Russian state-owned company.

Exxon, billionaire investor Todd Boehly, and others have explored buying assets owned by Lukoil, Russia's second-largest oil producer.

More recently, Kremlin-linked businessmen Timchenko, Kovalchuk, and the Rotenbergs have been offering U.S. counterparts gas concessions in the Sea of Okhotsk.

Putin gave Witkoff a medal, the Order of Lenin, to pass to a CIA deputy director whose mentally unwell son was killed fighting for Russia in Ukraine.

It is also noted that figures such as Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are the only ones playing roles in facilitating business discussions between U.S. and Russian interests.

❗️ The reality is that any enemy of America can now purchase US foreign policy by merely passing cash to Jared Kushner or in Putin's case, by merely promising to.
