This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Started with a scripting jam, ended with a burst of creativity! 🎇

I used ChatGPT for scripts, MATE for sparkles, and GIFStudio to create this New Year’s GIF. Experimenting with AI, recorded actions, and extensions made it quick and fun.

Happy New Year! 🎉

44 Ukrainian heavy bombers (Tu-22) and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles.
