1/7 north korea's decision to send troops to support russia's invasion of Ukraine should encourage the West to send troops to Ukraine, at a minimum to train Ukrainian soldiers and secure the Western half of the country, thereby freeing up Ukrainian forces for the front lines
2/7 Kyrylo Budanov, the Head of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, has stated that around 11,000 north korean infantry troops are presently undergoing training in russia's eastern region. They are anticipated to be combat-ready against Ukraine by November 1.
3/7 The first unit of 2,600 soldiers will be stationed in Kursk Oblast. Currently, there is no information regarding the subsequent deployment of the remaining north korean troops.
4/7 The West should deploy troops to Ukraine not only to train Ukrainian forces but also to secure the borders that do not adjoin russia, thereby allowing more Ukrainian troops to be freed up for the front lines.
5/7 Macron brought this up a few months ago, and now it's time to act. This wouldn't be an escalation, as russia already escalated by inviting north korean troops to fight in Ukraine. Western troops wouldn’t even need to engage in combat.
6/7 Ukraine relinquished its nuclear arsenal in an agreement intended to safeguard its sovereignty. We have a responsibility to do everything possible to assist Ukraine in defending itself against this unjust invasion.

Evil forces around the world have started to struggle in 2025, giving hope for a better future.
The tide is turning.
Let’s hope they struggle even more in 2026
2/12 The last few years felt hopeless.
Dictators grew aggressive. Russia invaded Ukraine. China rose as a global power. Trump attempted a coup in 2021 and returned in 2024. Tech oligarchs gained influence.
Post-truth made everything worse
3/12 Enemies of the West exploited chaos.
Russia expanded aggression. China pushed harder. Trump betrayed allies. Musk and Thiel used power for profit while cutting aid that cost thousands of lives.
1/10 Ukraine must make sure Russians never feel in control.
It is going more and more asymmetric because playing fair will not win this war where Russia never does.
Ukraine must push this strategy even harder
2/10 Just defending gives Russia no reason to stop.
Trading land for time is smart, but not enough.
Ukraine is striking deep inside Russia and must scale up production even further and shift toward more asymmetric tactics to make the war far more costly for Russia
3/10 Ukraine’s two-part strategy is to trade land for time and crush Russia’s economy with deep strikes on oil and infrastructure.
1/6 Belgium is helping Russia in its war against Ukraine.
How? It is the final obstacle preventing Ukraine from accessing Russia’s frozen assets.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as Russia’s helper?
2/6 Belgium is still blocking Russia’s frozen assets from being transferred to Ukraine, constantly finding new excuses to help Russia.
Does Belgium want to be remembered as the country that made Ukraine and Europe lose to Russia?
3/6 Belgium has been blocking this for months. It is the only country left doing so.
First, it used legal fears as an excuse. Europe worked to address those concerns, even with help from Norway. After that, Belgium's PM De Wever found new excuses, and Trump provided them to him
