The clearest explanation of the insanity happening in the US (and it will spread if itโs not contained there) Iโve heard so far. This is it. The full picture, people. Itโs why I fight. Everyday.
A call to action. Joy Reid explains what the Republican Party is up to, and itโs chilling. Urging you to watch this, itโs the best seven minutes youโll spend today.

I was planning to go to Montenegro before the war started. I went to Lithuania instead. Bonus was renting an AirBnB from a LT man who trains UA soldiers.
Iโm mentally preparing for russia-Europe war to break out in 1-3 years if nothing changes.
Expect Putin to test article 5 over and over again. Especially if the US starts to openly discuss exiting NATO.
Kazakhstan is making waves:
- responds in kind to russiaโs energy blockade
- refuses to look at russia as a โsaviorโ and now at its feet
- calls for global de-nuclearization by 2045
Tokayev has some balls! ๐ฐ๐ฟ
@sumlenny
Unfortunately itโs happening in Poland already. When I bring up Germany, ppl roll their eyes and say - of course, what did you expect? In other words, Germanyโs reputation in PL is tanking.

Itโs incredible to reflect how much Iโve changed my mind since this war started. I used to read Chomsky. Now I canโt get near his ideologies. My sight has cleared. Cognitive dissonance is gone.

Not all people who flee are regime resisters. Some leave Russia to evade the economic crunch. Most, if not all, Russians imo have a superiority complex. Itโs good theyโre seeing the truth!
Russia accuses the West of wanting to impose its values on others. It wants a multipolar world. Meanwhile it kills and forces other nations to be just like it. Russia is a state of nihilism, hypocrisy and terrorism.
Weโre really getting it easy, people. All we have to do is provide the damn hardware and find alternative gas supplies. No frontline battles. No worries about being blown apart by thermobaric bombs. No worries about your women & kids getting raped. Just the hardware.
Czech media reported that T-72 tanks, BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles, Dana howitzers, and Soviet-made combat helicopters could be among the supplies provided. Poland is reportedly giving Ukraine 18 AHS Krab self-propelled howitzers.
The illegal invasion of RU into UA is highlighting the universal divide between peopleโs love and willingness to fight for liberty and the lazy lure of passive subjugation to authoritarianism.

Jesus! What next target? Germany canโt be the next target! If anyone, it will be Moldova or Georgia. Thereโs no stand-alone Germany. Weโre NATO, which RU is terrified of. What the hell are they thinking!? Whatโs the real agenda? ๐คฌ

To help illustrate the source of panic better, here are Russiaโs current borders with the very threatening, deadly NATO alliance (in red):
Lech Waลฤsa, the man who defeated communism, today watching the fall of populism in Poland. His face says it all.
May Poland become an inspiration to other nations whose leaders are drunk on power and Putin.

By not arming Ukraine fast enough, the West is risking a world in which russian fascism and violence spreads even faster across the world, stifling freedom and causing untold harm to humanity and the planet.

If russia succeeds, expect Ukrainian fighters being forced to fight a larger war with Europe.
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIA DOES.
Wake TF up Europe!
And you too, America.
Russia is an anti-democratic aggressor country-empire that controls by fear. Itโs a jealous nation of thrives that blames all of its policy failures on the West.
Today Iโm grateful for Ukraine - the country on the frontline of an unjust war of aggression, fighting for freedom and democracy. We owe Ukraine so much more than a debt of gratitude.

Russia warns long range missiles in Ukraine intolerable? Then. Russia, cease and desist! Withdraw! Your aggression is intolerable! Your war crimes are intolerable! Ukraine must defend itself and regain its territories, and the West must and will assist!

If Africans have a problem with that, why don't they start speaking out? They should be enraged at what russia is doing with the grain blockade. Where are their voices?
@bctallis
Great explanation. It goes beyond strategy. Itโs essentially a philosophical issue. People in the West choose ease and convenience over standing up to moral values that gave them what they are trying to protect. It sucks the soul off these places.
@CultExpert
Had a spiritual cult โexperienceโ too in the early 2000s. Then in 2015 I got heavily into conspiracy theories for 2 years. Previous experience definitely makes you susceptible. Reading history books and critical thinking saved me. Iโm out for good.
@nexta_tv
Ukrainian grain was supposed to transit through Poland. Not stop here and undermine the market price of Polish grain. This is a huge failure and misstep on the side of Polish government.
@anders_aslund
the thing is, after all the terror and "fortifying" what he wants, putin has the ability to switch into pretending that he's a civilized partner now. unfortunately, leaders like macron and scholz will eat that right up.

There are 85 "states" in the enormous land that is russian federation. Most ppl there live in abject poverty. Some of these ppl's roots reach back to ancient tribes. They were once were culturally rich but have been forcefully russified. And the world know nothing about them.

Child pageants started in the 1920s in Atlantic City by the mobster Enoch "Nucky" Johnson. His specialty: gambling and prostitution. Party affiliation? You guessed it. Nucky was a hardline libertarian Republican. Now do tell me who the REAL groomers are!?
War in Ukraine. Ecocide. Climate crisis. World hunger. Rise of fascism. Public mistrust of government institutions.
All these crises have a common rootโ greed.

โก๏ธ Putin, Vucic hold phone call to 'strengthen cooperation.'
The Kremlin reported that Russia will continue to supply uninterrupted natural gas to Serbia after a phone call between Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic on May 29.
@saintjavelin
Unlike clowns like Tucker Carlson and Alex Jones, Ukrainian men never bitch about their masculinity being under threat. They are badasses and have no problem sharing the frontline with warrior women.
Iโm starting to think that Scholz and Macron might be jealous of Zelenskyโs hero status and are desperately looking for some quick โheroicโ act by negotiating with putin. If so, then itโs lazy, irresponsible and harmful.
@POTUS
I often catch myself crying tears of relief seeing how wonderfully classy Joe and Jill are. They represent the side of humanity and America that I love.
Can someone please explain to me why is it that liberalism is associated with communism?
There is nothing liberal about communism. Communism is fascism.
Don't even start with the "war fatigue" talk. What fatigue? The only people fighting russian fascists are the Ukrainians. So stop and do something to help them or STFU.
Europe ought to prepare for a direct confrontation with russia.
๐ฉ๐ช believes it could happen in 6-9 years
