⚡️Russian drone violated Moldovan airspace during 10-hour attack on Kyiv, Chisinau says.

Moldova was forced to temporarily close its airspace, President Maia Sandu said. The incident marks the third such violation in nine days.

I suppose it's too much to ask that they spare us from the fucking self-righteous lectures while they help their mad king - and every other bastard dictator - destroy what remains of international law, to drag the entire human world into a new age of unchecked autocracy & brutal imperial wars.

The White House has been attacking the ICC for over six months.

Here, you've got the "most sensible guy in the US government" basically saying "we've got nukes so we can do whatever the hell we want".

Why don't we have nukes?

Apparently they're a get out of jail free card.
🤨US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the EU has no right to determine what constitutes international law, let alone dictate how America protects its interests.

Andriy Yermak has submitted his resignation as Head of the Presidential Office, Zelenskyy said in his evening video address.

Society’s demand to get rid of him was very high, and this is good news, although it should have been done much earlier to avoid serious reputational damage.

Olen ollut jo aiemmin sitä mieltä, että venäläisten oleskelulupa- ja viisumihakemuksiin olisi hyvä lisätä liite, jossa hakija vakuuttaa vastustavansa Venäjän hyökkäyssotaa Ukrainassa ja Putinia.

Näköjään amerikkalaisten oleskelulupa- ja viisumihakemuksiin pitäisi lisätä vastaava liite Trumpista.

Only a twisted mind thinks Europe wants war and US wants peace.

US amasses forces to strike Venezuela, threatens multiple nations, rips up its alliances and rewards Putin's genocidal invasion.

Europe is so afraid of war it won't even defend a European democracy's civilians from terror bombing.

A Russian drone flew over Moldova and crash landing.

After calling the Russian ambassador to meet with Moldovan authorities They placed the 6 ft drone at the entrance to the Ambassador’s entrance so the Russians had to walk around the drone as the Russians left.

Way to go Moldova!!

Allowing Russia to wage a hybrid war against the West without a proper response was always losing game. There must be costs for aggression and they have been well overdue.

Well, we let the Germans attack Soviet Russia so that it would be easier for us to reclaim the territories that we lost in a bad peace deal.

We regained control over our territories for three more years and lost them in another bad peace deal.

Not on the battlefield ☝🏻

We paid reparations.

Hungary has bet on Russia to win.

Whenever it looks like Russia might not win, Orban and his little friend interjects.
In case anyone is wondering whether Orban is still an asshole, he is.

Apparently he's flying to Moscow on Friday. I'm guessing he's getting new instructions from his boss because of how badly their previous plan went.

I wouldn't be surprised if Fico suddenly appears too.

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

"And I will also say that the situation at the front is completely different - at the front, it is clear that Russia does not intend to stop the war, the intensity of the fighting is only increasing."

We keep being told that by EU and NATO leaders. What's less clear is what they're doing to prevent that.

Yes, Europe is rearming. It should be done by 2035. See the problem?

I'm not learning Russian.

If Europe keeps trying to influence T*ump to get what it wants instead of developing its own geopolitical strategy, it's going to have to take those frozen Russian assets and give T*ump a big beautiful bribe.

You know, to outbid Russia.

That's the only way I see appeasing T*ump working.
