This Oval Office ambush was as staged as Trump’s so-called assassination attempt.

Trump and Vance’s meeting with Zelensky in the Oval Office today “gave the lie to any claim that this administration’s policy is driven by any strategic effort to advance the interests of the United States, however misguided,” @davidfrum.bsky.social writes.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

Russian propagandists:

"We now have a historic chance to finish off the 'European question' so that Europe will never again have such influence and power and be so united."

Hvad har Putin på Trump?

The post by Trump on Truth Social reads: Think of it, a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, talked the United States of America into spending $350 Billion Dollars, to go into a War that couldn't be won, that never had to start, but a War that he, without the U.S. and "TRUMP," will never be able to settle. The United States has spent $200 Billion Dollars more than Europe, and Europe's money is guaranteed, while the United States will get nothing back. Why didn't Sleepy Joe Biden demand Equalization, in that this War is far more important to Europe than it is to us — We have a big, beautiful Ocean as separation. On top of this, Zelenskyy admits that half of the money we sent him is "MISSING." He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden "like a fiddle." A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left. In the meantime, we are successfully negotiating an end to the War with Russia, something all admit only "TRUMP," and the Trump Administration, can do. Biden never tried, Europe has failed to bring Peace, and Zelenskyy probably wants to keep the "gravy train" going. I love Ukraine, but Zelenskyy has done a terrible job, his Country is shattered, and MILLIONS have unnecessarily died - And so it continues.....

🚨Holy shit.

Trump has just launched a scathing attack on Zelenskyy.

He’s actually called him a dictator.

There can be no doubt: the President of the United States is now a Kremlin asset.

Russia is at its weakest in years. Putin is in a precarious situation. They are attacking western interests around the world and murdering Europeans. Why is Rubio bending a knee and showing weakness?

Disgraceful

"If we end this war now, some kind of a frozen conflict, a ceasefire,it will give Russia the possibility to mobilize more funds,&maybe to attack another country in Europe,"- Prime Minister of Denmark Mette Frederiksen

"If we allow Russia to win the war,he will continue,they will continue,"she said

Attention, Denmark!

"Putin's Squads" call you to "repent before Russia" and ask Putin "to save Greenland and your Denmark" as "your onlu salvation is to turn to Russia. It is the light of the world."

What these women say may sound funny. But it's what many Russians think.

"The evidence established that the violence was foreseeable to Mr. Trump, that he caused it ... and that when it occurred, he made a conscious choice not to stop it and instead to leverage it ...."

But no direct evidence of subjective intent to cause "the full scope of the violence" on January 6.

Trump Is Facing a Catastrophic Defeat in Ukraine If Ukraine falls, it will be hard to spin as anything but a debacle for the United States, and for its president.

Bob Kagan is right: the Russians don't want to negotiate, they want to destroy Ukraine

"Trump must now choose between accepting a humiliating strategic defeat on the global stage and immediately redoubling American support for Ukraine while there’s still time"

I’m so tired of him as well.

Dear World,

We’re sorry.

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Putin’s empire is crumbling: will 2025 prove to be his 1989? Failure in Syria, endless war in Ukraine, rejection by eastern states, loss of influence in the global south: this is not how it was meant to be for the Russian leader

During the campaign, Donald Trump swore he had “nothing to do with” Project 2025. Now, as president-elect, Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing policy blueprint that would overhaul the federal government. nyti.ms/3BhAxxA

The link directs me to David Letterman on Netflix, but I’m Danish and might make a huge amount of mistakes - lost in translation - but apparently the point has been taken.

I have the correct quote in my profile. Thanks
