1/10 The dispatch of north korean troops to support russia in its genocide in Ukraine exposes the grim truth about russia's faltering invasion and also highlights the inadequacy of Western escalation management.
2/10 There are rumors that north korea plans to deploy an engineering unit to Donetsk to aid russia in its unsuccessful invasion and genocide of Ukraine.
3/10 If verified, this demonstrates yet another dismal symbolic setback for russia, as it appears incapable of invading Ukraine without direct military intervention from its allies. Even with such support, its prospects for success seem bleak.
4/10 This underscores the complete failure of Western appeasement toward russia, a development that should not come as a surprise to anyone. russia's allies, including china, have continued to escalate their support for russia.
5/10 South Korea and Japan should urgently reconsider their policies and begin providing military assistance to Ukraine in response.
6/10 north korean troops should also compel the West to take action by increasing aid to Ukraine and lifting restrictions.
7/10 The use of north korean troops and ballistic missiles by russia should be sufficient to compel the West to remove all restrictions on matters such as deep strikes inside russian territory. Such action would be only equitable.
8/10 russia is on track to lose the war in Ukraine. The only potential game-changer would be a direct intervention by russia's allies, coupled with substantial material support from china.
9/10 The West must revise its strategy to prevent this outcome, and if it occurs, it will need to significantly increase its efforts.
Jake Sullivan did far more for Ukraine than the entire Trump administration—and its supporters—combined.
- Biden/Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid to Ukraine
- Trump: $0
2/6 Jake Sullivan was far from perfect. But let’s be honest:
He did far more for Ukraine than anyone in the Trump administration—and anyone supporting it.
Results matter more than rumors, rhetoric, or vibes.
- Under Biden and Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid
- Under Trump: $0
3/6 Under Sullivan as National Security Advisor:
✅ $54.2B in military aid to Ukraine
✅ No talk of stopping aid
✅ No pressure on Ukraine to accept a bad deal
✅ Sanctions on russia
✅ Clear messaging on who started the war
We must stop holding on to the illusion that the war in Ukraine will end soon.
It won’t.
Trump’s actions—and our inaction—have made that impossible.
If we don’t wake up now, we’ll pay the price later
2/5 Trump has weakened Ukraine by cutting aid and refusing to add sanctions on russia.
Meanwhile, Europe has stood by, letting Trump and Putin decide its fate.
This war isn’t just Ukraine’s fight.
It’s existential for Europe
3/5 We must act like we understand this war will last for years.
That means:
- Long-term orders of heavy equipment for Ukraine
- Relaunching production lines
- Supplying Ukraine with SAMP/T batteries and Aster interceptors
- Investing even more in Ukraine’s defense industry
