‘Calling bullshit on useful idiots’
The lies these these assets amplify cost Ukrainian lives, let’s be clear:
Maidan WAS NOT a US backed coup
NATO expansion DID NOT cause 🇷🇺invasion.
Donbas NEVER WAS a civil war
Ukraine IS NOT full of Nazis

An area greater than England
Think about this
Since February Russia has murdered, tortured & raped across an area of Ukraine greater than England.
Entire cities, towns & villages have been laid waste.
If we allow Russia succeed our way of life will end.

We never suffered like Ukraine
Even at the height of WWII British & US citizens never suffered like Ukrainians.
Even under the Nazi occupation, those who experienced both will always tell how the Russians were far worse.
And yet in the teeth of barbarism 🇺🇦should negotiate???

1. Possibly greatest Ukrainian victory of war so far.
2. Humiliation for Putin.
3. Time for allies to double down on supply of heavy weapons.

A bad day for useful idiots
Today, 4 April 2023, Finland becomes the 31st member of NATO.
And with it NATO becomes stronger, Europe becomes more secure, and Useful Idiots and Kremlin propagandists the world over need to find a new tune.

on trade potential with Australia after Brexit
Trade is gravitational
Mainland Europe is 35 km away, Australia is 15,196 km
Spot the problem?
And no one is even talking about carbon costs
But hey we will import more cheap Australia wine 👌

I love Ukrainians, for their humour & their absolute bloody resilience.
This was how a good friend in Kyiv summed up the attitude of the average person in the teeth of this weeks murderous attacks by the Kremlin.
Russia will NEVER subjugate or defeat Ukraine.

For some years now antisemitism has been lower in Ukraine than any other Eastern European country & probably lower than most ‘civilised’ western countries.
Pew Research from 2018, the same research that shows Russia to be x3 as antisemitic as Ukraine👇

Trust Russia not an inch, watch them like a hawk.
Be very clear, Ukraine did not make a deal with Russia or set any differences aside.
Ukraine has zero trust in Russia, it’s proven repeatedly it can never be trusted.
