Steve Witkoff: “I tend to believe that President Putin is operating in good faith”

Putin's boys: “lol, empty American heads”

Widow’s Lament

It’s not quite cold enough
to go borrow some firewood
from the neighbors.

The dream is becoming reality. At least for the media talking heads who take their orders at weekly meetings in the Kremlin. The US is aligning with Russia’s outlook. Now, Russia can begin to imagine a just punishment for its old enemies in Europe’s democracies.

Seizing on Steve Witkoff’s apparent willingness to recognize the occupied Ukrainian regions as Russian, Sardaryan urged Moscow to promptly notify him that Russian territories aren’t limited to that.

White House Cabinet officials -- they're just like us! 

Except me and the boys don't typically share each other's "loathing" for "PATHETIC" European allies https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/?gift=J_CNpt7Ar1nKEXqJWVh1ulEUSzqbExa4Kxm41rX0EQA

I mean, they did promise they'd be the most transparent administration in history. The politicians finally started to keep their word and everybody's freaking out…

“The very aggressive US pressure on the Greenlandic community is now so severe that the level cannot get any higher. Standing together in Greenland has not helped, speaking out has not helped, and diplomatic attempts at dialog have been in vain. Now the international community must react” says Greenland's PM, Múte Bourup Egede.

“From the 28 most impactful social media accounts and channels that promoted the 'It's not our war' demonstration in Spain […] 82% had already spread some relevant pro-Russian disinformation in recent years.”

I Took a Photo!

I took a photo of a place where you can park your shitcoins.

Donald Trump has tightened sanctions against Russia and imposed additional restrictions on the oil, gas and banking sectors.

Did he also impose restrictions on reading?

Liberals as usual ignore context of Russia's invasion (NATO's instigations & Western support of coup in Ukraine & ethnic Russian majority in East Ukraine)

But at the end of the day, Putin invaded another country. You can't come back from this.

And yes, Zelensky isn't diplomatic enough, he enforces conscription, etc.

But it isn't crazy to ask for security guarantees upon a peace agreement.

What an embarrassment for everyone involved in yesterday's spat.

Also remember: Neither libs nor cons show an ounce of sympathy for the 20x more civilian Muslims killed a few thousand kilometres south of Ukraine.

It's essential to understand how surprisingly effective the Russian propaganda is, and unfortunately there are times when the Ukrainian government makes their job all too easy. Even so, it's crystal clear who's on the right side of the history.
