Very true, Europe was going to suck on Americas’s teat as long as we allowed it.
Trump told them what was coming 8 years ago.
Pitin has not “quite” captured the Donbas, has foreigners holding territory on Russia, liquidated his soviet legacy stocks, dependent on China, NK, and Iran for survival, depleted his “rainy day” fund. Because of his ego and dreams nearly a million killed and wounded Russians, his infrastructure can’t be defended and is being denigrated everyday, his navy has been mauled and is hiding in the corner, his Air Force has shown that even without facing significant air opposition it is relatively ineffective, and for what?
Yup master strategist
And who can forget he managed to expand NATO with Finland and Sweden, two countries that were never going to join till putins master stroke.
Genius, that stay at the holiday inn did wonders😎
The poor lady with her unused country home with a huge heating bill will have to learn to do what I have done for 40 years with my beach cottage. Drain the water system, turn off the water main and electricity ‘til warm weather. For those who have to live in potential cold, I wonder how many million Russians have experienced the disaster that happened to a good friend in the house he uses part time, but kept heat on low. A pipe above his bedroom broke in the unusual cold of this winter. His ceiling collapsed, he lost a wall, and the floor needs replacement. Needs pipe parts, drywall, and lumber. How available are such materials now in depleted Russia?
I noted that recently Ukraine has only failed to deflect/destroy about 1 to 2% of the Russian missile storms. In the latest attack they missed about 10%. Was this because of reduced intelligence, or reduced equipment to destroy missiles thanks to our President?
He is also planning to deport our temporary Ukraine residents. I wonder if that will include the two big healthy Ukranians who worked for the company replacing my copper wire phone service for fiber 2 years ago?
When I looked at the link for Russian airborne troops returning home, I was shocked to see the long stacks of body bags instead of people. Three rows stacked 2 and 3 high, and perhaps more rows not shown, several hundred dead, and more hundreds of loved ones to grieve. At least they will have the remains unlike thousands of others who will never know where their men lie now. And dear leader plans to fight as long as he can no matter what the cost. WHAT A FXXXING WASTE!!
Curious if the dead are going home or to a nice mass grave with no names.
Hard to believe they are storing that many bodies or perhaps that is just the daily rotation.
Danish PM Mette Frederiksen: "Peace in Ukraine is more dangerous than the ongoing war."
She won't end the war because Putin might attack someone else in the future.
Under that logic, there is no end to the war ever.pic.twitter.com/KdNzKnwIcO— Wall Street Mav (@WallStreetMav) March 5, 2025
Then they’d better be prepared to march on Moscow. And even then, they’ll just move everything beyond the Urals, like they did during WWII.
This ain’t like invading Iraq.
As bad as the EU male leadership is, their female counterparts are twice as bad (and warlike)
“I’ll say it again. Russia is lying”
The video clearly confirms that.
Lavrov’s lips were moving - a sure indicator of lying on their part.

pootin did that.
“They (Russian leadership) believe that the E.U. doesn’t have the resources or the will to provide the resources necessary for Ukraine to win the war.”
They (EU) certainly have the resources, it is overwhelmingly a matter of will. The EU has more than 10 times the GDP of Russia, and is untouched by war damage (except for a few undersea cables, and the NordStream pipelines).
They need a Trump-sized boot in their caboose, to get that train moving.
(Pokrovsk) “Together with reports coming from Toretsk, Chasiv Yar and Kupyansk, where Ukrainian forces are gradually pushing back Russian troops, this seems to be not a local outlier, but a general development.”
Seems like the Russian offensive launched prior to Trump’s inauguration has culminated. Soon the Spring Mud Season will further bog down Battlefield movement.
By the time the Mud dries, it seems likely that big geopolitical shifts from the Trump disruption will set the next phase of the war off in a new, and unpredictable direction.
Buckle up!
Euros - Send More Artillery! (Schnell!)

“The plan for the militarization of the European Union was approved by 26 of its 27 members.”
...Now let’s see them fund it.
So many times, I have seen them talk big, and then not follow through.
Maybe two big Trump boots might be needed...
Good to see Ukraine hitting Russian GDP
