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.
1/6 Look at the absolute disaster unfolding right now, and remember exactly who told you to vote for Trump in 2024.
The people who sold you this catastrophe should be discredited forever, and you should never listen to their political advice again🧵
2/6 Remember the tech oligarchs who threw their billions behind him.
Musk, Sacks, Andreessen, and Thiel used their massive wealth, influence, and/or platforms to push this disaster on the public.
They only cared about their own power, ignoring the cost to regular people
3/6 Do not forget the podcasters and influencers who laundered his campaign.
Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Paul brothers, Bradley Martyn, Dave Smith, and others relentlessly promoted him to massive audiences, trading the country's stability for engagement metrics and access
Iran’s military has been incredibly unimpressive in this war, but it still managed to back Trump into a corner and keep the regime alive.
The war is existential for Iran, not the US, and when you combine this with Trump’s horrible planning, you get a disaster
2/5 Usually an underdog has to pull off a massive military upset to corner a superpower, as we have seen in places like Ukraine. That is not happening here.
Iran is failing militarily. They have lost almost every single ”battle,” yet they are still ”beating” the US
3/5 The reason is simple:
Tactical victories mean little when the enemy is fighting for survival and you aren't ready to go as far.
For Tehran, this fight is existential. For the US, it is not
Tech oligarchs have made themselves universally hated simply by revealing who they truly are and how little self-awareness they possess.
They are, actually, the best argument against themselves
2/6 Some have crossed the line from opportunistic greed into neoreactionary extremism, with figures like Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen leading the charge.
They insulate themselves from reality, and their absolute lack of self-awareness makes them dangerous
3/6 Andreessen recently gave an interview proudly admitting to having zero introspection.
We see the consequences of this daily.
When people wielding immense power refuse to ever look inward or question their motives, disaster inevitably follows
1/5 As Hungary approaches the April 2026 elections, Orbán faces a severe political test.
His failed rule has actively aligned Budapest with Moscow, obstructed European support for Ukraine, and prioritized Russian energy over Western unity, thereby ruining Hungary's potential
2/5 The economic reality of this geopolitical positioning is stark.
Hungary's GDP growth stagnated at just 0.4% in 2025.
It has completely decoupled from regional growth trends, falling drastically behind the expanding economies of neighboring Poland and Romania
3/5 This economic stagnation is tied directly to structural state capture.
Transparency International recently ranked Hungary at 40 out of 100 on its Corruption Perceptions Index.
It remains the lowest-scoring and most corrupt member state in the European Union. Pathetic!
