#Putin will never settle for less than "everything" he was after by invading #Ukraine in the first place as long as he can continue to convince #DonnieDumbass that *Ukraine* was the aggressor and must pay for THEIR aggression against #Russia. 
@molly0xfff
Gee, I wonder why Trump would target the Wilson Center? 
"Putin is the aggressor. This plain fact is incontestable. He launched an unprovoked attack on Ukraine without any pretext beyond the Russian president’s neo-imperial ambitions couched in invented grievances. Ukraine has paid a heavy price to resist this aggression. Ukrainians are sacrificing tens of thousands of lives – both military and civilian... The war has destroyed cities and infrastructure worth hundreds of billions. Any agreement with Putin must not undermine these sacrifices."

@w7voa Umm, no.
“He has three advisers,” Lavrov replied, according to the oligarch. “Ivan the Terrible. Peter the Great. And Catherine the Great.”

I'm just getting through the Muscovy/ Russias section of the excellent @empirepoduk , and good gravy, these people were *brutal,* especially Peter the Great. Great as in MAGA. Greatly horrible, terribly brutal.
I think that any cease fire will be considered a pause.
I'm hoping Ukraine achieves victory, but America's defection is going to be hard to survive. Putin really does see himself as an emperor / caesar / czar / military and political leader, and he longs to stitch Russia back together. History is helpful, here.

Zelensky has been discarded!
Let's see if #Russia has any interest in working towards peace, or that they want to continue their #terrorism
#Ukraine has agreed to accept a U.S. proposal for an immediate 30-day ceasefire and to take steps toward restoring a durable peace after Russia's invasion, according to a joint U.S.-Ukraine statement on Tuesday.
Carney: Canada retaliatory tariffs to stay until ‘America shows us some respect’
Canada’s new Prime Minister Mark Carney vowed in a speech after being elected Liberal Party leader Sunday to resist US threats of annexation and to maintain tariffs on American imports until “America shows us some respect.”
“Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” the former central banker said.

JD Vance’s cousin fought for more than two years in Ukraine as part of the "Da Vinci Wolves."
47-year-old Nate Vance, a former U.S. Marine, joined Ukraine’s forces in 2022, saying he "saw history being written."
"JD is smart, but what they did to Zelensky was a dishonest ambush. Being relatives doesn’t mean I’ll accept him aiding in the killing of my comrades,"

"Just days ago, a Russian official strongly urged America to stop sharing intel with Ukraine. Trump complied."

“Keith Kellogg, the White House’s special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, characterised the US decision to cut off intelligence sharing and military aid to Kyiv as like beating a farm animal with a piece of wood.

‘I think the best way I can describe it is sort of like hitting a mule with a two-by-four across the nose’”
Despicable. How dare they treat white Europeans the exact same way they (and we) have always treated Brown and Black people? What are we, fucking Palestinians?
Something about panthers. Something about faces.

Huge article on #Wirecard CFO who is now confirmed to be running spies for #Russia within Europe.
* Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/03/07/marsalek-russian-spymaster-wirecard/

Wirecard collapsed and then #crypto began to rise within under a year... which I'm sure is just totally a coincidence.
A well-funded Moscow-based global "news" network has infected Western artificial intelligence tools worldwide with Russian propaganda.
From NewsGuard: "An audit found that the 10 leading generative AI tools advanced Moscow’s disinformation goals by repeating false claims from the pro-Kremlin Pravda network 33 percent of the time."
Even longtime #Republican hawks on Capitol Hill, stunned by #Trump’s #revisionist #history that #Ukraine is to blame for its invasion by #Russia, & his Oval Office blowup at President Volodymyr #Zelensky, have either muzzled themselves, tiptoed up to criticism without naming Trump or completely reversed their positions.

"THE BUDAPEST MEMORANDUM"
ok #ursulavonderleyen what about this: get every #EU country their own #nuke and neither #Russia nor #China will not touch them
if you do not do that, you just said "i am corrupt and actually don't care about anyone but myself" aka "i will print a lot of #money to finance my friend's #war #business but #security is not my goal" = more useless senseless #death + #destruction
thanks all idiots involved... especially everyone who sabotaged the #peace talks in #ukraine #istanbul #borisjohnson was that you?
PLEASE SEND #borisjohnson AND HIS FAMILY IMMEDIATELY TO #UKRAINE #FRONTLINE! THANKS! (YOU GOD DAMN IDIOT!)
On August 1, 2024, one of the largest U.S.-Russian prisoner exchanges took place, securing the Wall Street Journal's Evan Gershkovich and ex-marine Paul Whelan, among others, for 16 jailed Russians. Moscow brought home an assassin, spies and a tech executive, who stole $93 million in "one the biggest insider trading cases of all time." @WIRED delves into why the Kremlin spared Vladislav Klyushin from U.S. prison.
