Trump mused to donors that we should take our F-22 planes, "put the Chinese flag on them and bomb the shit out" out of Russia. "And then we say, China did it, we didn't do, China did it, and then they start fighting with each other and we sit back and watch."

Well, so much for the ceasefire

Russian troops are shooting and not allowing civilians to leave.

When the Russians were at war in Syria, they declared a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and then mowed down all the civilians fleeing the city.

I honestly don't know how talking to Putin will do any good, It seems useless

https://twitter.com/visegrad24/status/1499890276915204098?s=20&t=crCFqfq7xGaorKVEXqbzkA


Putin in call with Germany's Scholz denied Russia bombing Ukrainian cities, dismissed such information as 'gross propaganda fakes'.


It's on video, satellite images etc. I mean wtf. How does any government leader even work with this guy?

Russian news channel RT to broadcast on GOP platform Rumble

https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1499465597666541574?s=20&t=Yl_R3uk-otZdj54yVpcmiw


Can it be more clear?

As RT (the Russian state propaganda outlet) is being banned across the West, and large media/tech co’s drop it…

RT now begins broadcasting on Rumble - the favored platform of the rw and GOP.

Peter Thiel and JD Vance are Rumble investors.

This is insanity!

Russian lawmakers have introduced legislation that would conscript into the military anyone arrested for protesting against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. These people would be forced to fight in the invasion itself. What the fuck is happening to Russia. This is absolute madness




Why would the Russian military want them? They’d probably send them in there to be killed.

4 Russian fighter planes violated Swedish airspace at Gotland

Four Russian fighter planes violated Swedish airspace at Gotland.
At the same time Finland and Sweden are having a joint military exercise on the island with both Finnish F/A-18:s and Swedish JAS-39:s operating in the area!

Edited to add: A Swedish commenter said that this happens fairly often as Russia likes to play games and intimidate them, so probably meaningless.

A Norwegian commenter said that because they're a member of NATO , Russia never does this to them.
