Trump again shows his utter ignorance & bias against Zelenskyy
🟠says he loves Churchill. The UK had no general election for 10 YEARS during WWII.
The last Presidential election in Ukraine was 6 years ago.
He also ignores Zelenskyy saying he'll hold elections if US make it safe.

Man kan stadig støde på danskere, som har en forestilling om, at al krig foregår på samme grusomme vis og at russerne derfor hverken er værre eller bedre end andre. Militær historiker Antony Bevoor forklarer her, hvorfor den forstilling er forkert.
Ekstrem vold fremmes i Russisk kultur.

Workers in the Urals at one of the largest copper-iron-vanadium ore extraction sites complain that they haven’t been paid for the second month in a row. The situation is so critical that many of them can’t even afford the trip home.

Norway did the math: Arm Ukraine to win, or pay double when Russia does
A new study finds Europe faces a simple choice: back Ukraine now for half the price, or pay far more later to deter a stronger Russia.

I am extremely grateful to Steve Witkoff who does so much for Ukraine, even if in private capacity.
He always wanted to keep it quiet, so his handlers in Kremlin don't know about it, but... Help me share this!

Klar tale fra Snyder
Timothy Snyder draws on the history of Nazi Germany in autumn 1938 to warn us about Trump's next moves towards gangster authoritarianism in remaking America.
He explores the possible land war in Venezuela, and "self-terrorism", as new justifications to tear down democratic rights and freedoms.
