This is not normal.🧵
A candidate for president is explaining how a worm ate part of his brain while a rival who’s an ex-president is “cursing audibly” in court while listening to a porn star describe lousy sex with him while a key supporter who wants to be the ex-president’s …

Things have been developing quickly over the past 2-3 weeks in Georgia, but in the last couple of days, they have progressed at an unimaginable speed. The ruling Georgian Dream party has employed various tactics targeting civil society, escalating to an extreme level. 1/6

Putin has threatened to use nuclear weapons many times, but it's always a bluff. He has nothing to gain from nuclear war, he has everything to lose. When his empty threats make us back down, he escalates anyway. Every time. That's the reality of de-escalation. BBC HARDtalk

This night, Russia attacked Ukraine with 55 missiles and 20+ drones. It targeted energy infrastructure in six regions, including Kyiv and Lviv. 'Serious damage' to power stations was reported, people warned there will be electricity cutoffs. Ukraine urgently needs air defence

Germany: Won’t send Taurus to Ukraine, will send just about anything to Russia (as long as it’s through a blatantly obvious middleman).

No one should.

While NATO stands by watching this destruction on its doorstep. The world's strongest militaries letting their weapons collect dust instead of doing what they were literally designed to do: defeat a Russian army attacking Europe.

As the Kremlin hardly ever comes up with new stuff, it's relatively easy to predict what happens if the Tbilisi protests continue.

The titushky, mercenary thugs, have been called out already, next step would be to shoot the protesters with live rounds.

Stay vigilant, stay safe!

It’s absurd many Western political leaders refuse to state the obvious, that the downfall of dictators is a worthy goal, especially when they are attacking your interests and the global order. Putin supports dictators & terror regimes around the world.

What you don't hear – anyone honking their horn. Everyone stops, everyone is quiet, people kneel. Each death matters because each life matters.

UK Intelligence estimates 465000 Russian casualties so far--an staggering figure. The Russians are generating soldiers, but losing them at an astounding clip. The disregard of the Russian leadership for their own people is one reason Ukraine must win. x.com/DefenceHQ/stat…

Timely and sufficient decisions on air defense for Ukraine and timely weapon supplies for our warriors are what we need right now to protect lives.

Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, Kherson, and Odesa regions. Russian terrorists have shelled our cities…

Putin had 3 weapons against Ukraine. First was the Russian army, and that has been mauled. Second was Russian gas, and that has failed. Which leaves only the last, Donald Trump and Putin's other allies in US politics

We’ve gone from being sure Europe will freeze without our gas to Gasprom making its first loss in 25 years.

I remain a master strategist.

This is the way. Every new package of sanctions exposes how little was done before. It's a war. Isolate the warmakers and terrorists. Go after the middlemen and the 'neutral' profiteers. Close the loopholes and have penalties with teeth.

Just checking international news to see if Russia using internationally-banned cluster munitions on a building housing students, in the middle of the day, killing several people is deemed newsworthy. It's not apparently.

Tucker 1940: 'Call Herr Goebbels' recommendation of genocide harsh, but he is the most popular political philosopher in Germany. Here is my attempt to normalize calls for the extermination of an entire people.' But in 1940 it wasn't yet in the open like it is in Ukraine today.

At this point, if you still deny Tucker Carlson is a Russian asset, you're either a liar, or a moron...or, quite possibly, both.

At least four dead and 29 injured, including two kids, in the russian terrorist attack against Odesa. We call on partners to share spare air defences, Ukrainian people are defending from the second largest army in the world backed by the alliance of tyrannies

The seven largest European banks in Russia - Raiffeisen Bank International, Unicredit, ING, Commerzbank, Deutsche Bank, Intesa Sanpaolo, and OTP - paid about 800 million euros in taxes to the Russian budget in 2023, the Financial Times reported.
