⚡️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.

Hungarian foreign minister reveals himself as the traitor and Russian asset he indeed is.
🔎🇷🇺 Odd, slightly protocol-breaking moment at the Orbán–Putin meeting: before the leaders entered the room, Hungary’s rabidly pro-Kremlin foreign minister Péter Szijjártó sat in the Russian delegation’s seat to chat with his friend Sergey Lavrov, then slowly walked back to his own side.

We are 3/4 of the way there. Please help if you can.
When Ukrainian soldiers are wounded in action, Russian drones target both them and the people who come to rescue them.
Join me in a fundraising campaign for vehicles with drone-jamming equipment.

‘ASML schond in 2023 herenakkoord tussen VS en Nederland’
Het Veldhovense bedrijf verkocht veel meer chipmachines aan China dan Nederland en de VS hadden afgesproken. De twee landen voelden zich misleid door ASML, zo blijkt uit een nieuw boek.

Very happy to have spoken to @michaeldweiss.bsky.social about the problems, shall we say, of having Russians write our foreign policy. The details are being confirmed now by major outlets. Get the analysis here.

👏👏👏 The Balts and the Fins understand the clear and present danger of Russia. They know and we better listen.
We still need to get from a situation where Russia pretends to negotiate to a situation where they need to negotiate.

Poetin begint de ergste Europese oorlog sinds 1945, pleegt alle denkbare oorlogsmisdaden. Hij wil zijn agressie graag beloond zien want anders wordt hij door t volk opgeknoopt. Dus hij maakt een wensenlijst geeft die aan t Witte Huis en hij wacht tot Trump zijn verlanglijst oplegt aan t slachtoffer.

We worden hier als Europeanen zo ongelofelijk in het pak genaaid door Trump en Poetin.
More evidence that the Trump/Witkoff “peace plan” for Ukraine came straight from the Russians - it uses Russian syntax.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.
