1/8 You cannot simultaneously support Ukraine and vote for Trump. Voting for Trump means you are directly backing russia's interests Image
2/8 Take a moment to reflect on the statements made by Trump and his associates regarding Ukraine in recent months. They never blame russia for what is happening and only have negative things to say about Ukraine. He has chosen to surround himself with the worst people! Image
3/8 Trump goes so far as to avoid stating his support for Ukraine. He blames Zelensky for russia's invasion and aims to coerce Ukraine into an unwanted agreement that would benefit russia and its allies. Image
4/8 Trump not only holds pro-russian and entirely anti-Ukrainian views, but he is also a corrupt man who illegally kept classified documents at his home while covertly communicating with Putin. Image
5/8 Trump is also considering the possibility of withdrawing from NATO, which would undermine the West and negatively impact Ukraine in numerous ways. With him in power, many NATO countries may lose trust in Article 5 and be less able to support Ukraine than they were previously Image
6/8 The mental gymnastics some of you are engaging in to justify supporting Ukraine while voting for Trump are flawed, and you know it deep down. Image
7/8 russia is doing everything possible to ensure Trump's election in November, and there are clear reasons behind this. They recognize that having him back in office would significantly benefit their interests. Image
8/8 Sources:
Washington Post - Trump blames Zelensky for the war in Ukraine. He rarely blames Putin.

1/6 Time for some introspection?

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 Image
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 Image
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 Image

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 Image
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 Image
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! Image

1/5 Peter Thiel holding secret lectures in Rome about the Antichrist is pure dystopian fiction.

He is no theologian, just a dangerous, yet pathetic, Bond villain trying to sound profound.

Yet no one fits the description of the Antichrist he fears so much better than he does Image
2/5 Look at his daily life.

He is an oligarch who builds military AI and global mass surveillance networks, yet he sits in Rome and tells his audience that the people trying to regulate his tech and stop his unaccountable power are the actual Antichrist Image
3/5 His hypocrisy is staggering.

He is a gay immigrant who built a massive fortune thanks to the tolerance of liberal, democratic California, and now he uses that very wealth to fund an ultra-conservative movement designed to strip those freedoms away from everyone else Image

1/5 The underrated threat:

We need to get serious about preparing for terrorists using FPV drones.

Recent wars have shown that even the world’s best armies struggle against them.

If modern militaries cannot easily stop them, local police forces are completely exposed Image
2/5 We are incredibly lucky that this has not yet become a common issue in our cities.

But make no mistake, it unfortunately will.

FPV drones are brutally efficient, incredibly cheap, and easy to use.

The barrier to entry for terrorists is terrifyingly low right now Image
3/5 There is no perfect solution, especially with fiber-optic drones that are completely immune to electronic jamming.

We need to stop guessing and start asking for help directly from combat veterans who have real-world experience fighting these threats Image

1/5 The Russian Paradox:

Most people both underestimate and overestimate Russia.

The country is weaker and has far less potential than before the full-scale war began, yet it has become a far greater threat to Europe Image
2/5 The economy is in bad shape.

Reserves are nearly gone, and growth has stalled under high interest rates.

High oil prices help for now, but once the war in Iran ends, structural problems will remain.

Add a bad demographic situation, and Russia has eaten its future Image
3/5 But here is the terrifying flip side:

On a total war footing with a dedicated war economy, it is incredibly lethal.

This is a society that has taken war and death as its religion and is all in on its insane propaganda.

Russia has nothing to lose Image

1/8 Russian intelligence always finds a way to completely screw up.

They recently tried to build an untraceable new hit squad, but got caught because their top operatives literally typed their secret assassination plans into Google Translate Image
2/8 A new investigation by Insider and Der Spiegel reveals that Russia created a top-secret hit squad called Center 795, after earlier assassination units were exposed.

They embedded it inside the Kalashnikov arms company, hoping it would be untraceable Image
3/8 This was not just a small team.

Center 795 functioned as a private shadow army funded by billionaire oligarchs.

They had cyber teams, sniper units, drones, and even their own heavy equipment to conduct sabotage and massive military operations Image
