As a part of this socially-asocial #Fediverse network I would like to talk to you on the other side of the ocean.

I rarely write posts in #English and I only have very few followers that are not #Czech or #Slovakian, so I'm not sure if this ever reaches my target audience of this post - the #USA citizens.

I am seriously concerned about what is happening lately with your country, who was supposed to be (or was acting like) a #democracy beacon. Yet, somehow you managed to reach the point, where #president, who most of you (!) elected is felon, who pardons criminals and does pretty rude political statements to country, who is losing lives of it's citizens only because they have chosen the path of being a #free nation.

As a person from central #EU I must admit this is seriously hard to watch as I expected your society to be #freedom and #liberty friendly and yet I see your president fueling #propaganda from #Russia and bullying president of #Ukraine.

I do not think this is a great way to #StopWar - this is a way to lose it. I'm hell-of-a-sure that befriending pretty much dictator of #Russia while his propagandists talks about nuking Washington is not a good idea, but somehow your president believes it is.

Please reconsider and act, this is not funny and people are dying. Your voices need to be heard or somehow you might find out you live in country you never imagined...

BREAKING NEWS 🚨

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces as well.

There's an interesting analogy between Volodymyr Zelensky and Osama Bin Laden. Both received US military aid to fight wars against an illegal Russian (Soviet Union) invasion and both were betrayed and publicly humiliated by the US at the end of those wars... #ukraine #russia #us #afghanistan

Who is promoting Russia propaganda and agreeing with Donald Trump, claiming Ukraine is a dictatorship.

And anytime someone backs them into a corner, they claim "oh, I do not care, I am only being autistic".

There are many people who have disabilities and a disability does not encourage people to promote Russian propaganda and then use the excuse of that disability, whenever they fail to sway people.

Listen to Kaja Kallas who perfectly explains the situation, glad that she is part of the EU Commission.

@Gargron fuck ukro pig. Go #russia ✨🙏🏻

The latest video from @anderspuck is a must watch for all citizens of countries in the NATO alliance, not just the USA.

Donald Trump is accelerating the change of the Post-WWII world order. We citizens outside the USA need to be very aware. And #Ukraine is going to be the key to the outcome.

Organizations, activists, political and material collectives who run for environmental issues, #ClimateCrisis etc. should take action to fight #warmongers. They openly say (everywhere, not just in #EuropeanUnion) that they must spend the money of #workingclass (you remember that big companies have less taxes than us?) for armaments and to leave the (capitalist) green transition aside. Means they don't care at all about the destruction war industry and their inevitable wars produce. Tusk explains better.

«Making references to Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine and Belarus's campaign of instrumentalised migration, which his country has experienced firsthand, Tusk implored EU states to address security "seriously" and be "flexible" and "creative" to design novel ways to finance the necessary boost in military expenditure.»
«"I'll be honest: we shouldn't really care too much about what method we adopt to finance pan-#European defence projects," he told lawmakers in #Strasbourg.»
«In the prime minister's view, "some" of the environmental regulations that the #EU has introduced in the past five years are responsible for the "prohibitively" high #energy prices. - Energy bills began rising in 2022 when the market hit record-high levels in reaction to #Russia 's manipulation of gas supplies.»

Every hour you read something more warmongering than the previous. Everyday they say openly that they take our money to give em to a bunch of capitalists and we, the working class, just standing there like hypnotized waiting for the military call to be meat for their profits.

#Europe is seeing a dramatic boost in defense budgets, driven by both long-standing pressure from Washington and the continent’s own reaction to #Russia ’s full-scale invasion of #Ukraine. That promises a glut of military contracts for weapons-makers in Europe as well as in the U.S., South Korea and elsewhere.
...The enormous scale of new defense spending — the European Commission estimates that the bloc’s members will need to spend €500 billion on defense over the next decade — still means there will be a lot of money available for European defense firms.
That said, the early winner of Europe’s defense buildup is likely to be the U.S.

What helps against #russia's continued systematic mass murder of civilians:

❌ dictatorial peace
❌ unconditional surrender by 🇺🇦
❌ ceasing weapons deliveries
❌ gifting the Baltics to 🇷🇺
❌ buying gas from 🇷🇺
❌ allowing 🇷🇺 to continue cutting internet cables
✅ long-range missiles like #Taurus
✅ destroying military targets inside 🇷🇺
✅ annihilating the Black-Sea fleet
✅ downing 🇷🇺 fighter jets
✅ assassinating #Kadyrov
✅ actively helping #Ukraine defend their western airspace

Ukraine’s newly formed brigades face devastating losses as poor leadership, inadequate training, and mismatched foreign support hinder their effectiveness on the battlefield, writes commander Serhii #Filimonov in his recent op-ed.

Looks like #NoName057 went after Israeli websites. Was it the first time? Any clues what could have provoked it?

BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨

Another submarine telecom cable has been cut in the Baltic Sea.

This time it’s a cable between Sweden and Lithuania.

Yesterday, the news broke that a cable between Finland and Germany had been cut.

Georgia's electoral commission has declared the ruling Georgian Dream party the winner of Saturday's vote. The party is seen as tending more toward #Russia than the West— DW News

How could #elonmusk possibly keep his security clearance after this? #russia #china

The anxiety of Putin is justified. As I explained in the past I am working in the oil industry for over two decades and I also worked in Russia, in this precise area as well. In this area is a very big fuel distribution centre. When I was there they told me it's the biggest in Europe, but I don't really know if it is. It's huge, anyway.
More important, an important gas pipeline junction is there. Some 40-50% of all former western gas was going thru this and Hungary and partly Slovakia are getting it's gas this way, still. To make it even more entertaining, as far as I remember there is also a pipeline going south from there, connecting Turkiye and some other countries in the south of Russia.

There is a general rule in war. Don't cause the enemy problems, create dilemmas instead. For problems there is a solution, dilemmas only have a choice between multiple bad outcomes. I will come back to this later.

Ukraine could already cut the transport of Russian gas via it's pipelines to Hungary, but didn't do not to anger the Western partners.

It must be painful for Ukraine to let this gas thru knowing the money Russia makes with it is used to pay for the war against them self. Ukraine had a dilemma here, but now they solved it. Let me explain.

Russia's dilemma now is hard, very hard. The way the Russian army fight is simple: Destroy everything in front with artillery and bombs, then send in infantry and tanks to handle the remaining resistance. Russia doesn't care much about people, no matter their own or others, but they care about their oil and gas. To start a counter attack means this will be destroyed and Russia doesn't has enough trained soldiers and other means anymore to handle the situation different.
The dilemma is choose between two similar bad options. Fight Ukraine and risk the destruction of this vital facilities Russia cannot replace or even fix due to sanctions. It would also cut off it's only remaining allies in the west (Hungary, Slovakia) three months before winter and lose the income, too. I am not sure if the south of Russia, Turkiye and Georgia would also be cut off completely or if there are alternative routes or options like the use of tankers. It would be difficult and expensive, anyway.

The other choice Russia has is to accept the presence of the Ukrainian Army in this area and risk further expansion of the occupied areas. This is hard to accept for Russian people who still believe the Russian army is strong. They know if peace talks start this will be a strong talking point for Ukraine and Russia will have to make a lot of concessions to get back control.
