1/8 You cannot simultaneously support Ukraine and vote for Trump. Voting for Trump means you are directly backing russia's interests

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

8/8 Sources:
Washington Post - Trump blames Zelensky for the war in Ukraine. He rarely blames Putin.

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.

It works, but it needs acceleration.

Every month of delay gives Moscow breathing room

1/12 China’s favorite US president:

Trump is extremely soft on China. The idea that he’s a China hawk is one of the biggest misconceptions.

He’s almost as soft on Beijing as he is on Moscow. Both back him for that reason.

Here are a few key examples👇

2/12 Trump keeps threatening to pull US troops from allies in Asia, including South Korea and Japan.

He constantly pressures and criticizes those allies.

Undermining security guarantees sends one message: America is weak and unreliable

3/12 Trump allows NVIDIA to sell advanced H200 chips to China, tech that strengthens Beijing’s AI ambitions.

That’s one of the few areas where the US is ahead.

So much for “decoupling”

1/9 Europe must face reality:

The US under Trump is waging a hybrid war against us, siding with our enemies, and turning from ally to adversary

2/9 Trump’s new national security strategy and his administration’s actions prove it.

They are not protecting Europe.

They are undermining us

3/9 They back anti-EU, pro-Russia, pro-China far-right parties.

They interfere politically to sabotage us and try to throw Ukraine under the bus while siding with Putin

1/9 Ukraine cannot win this war by only playing fair when Russia never does.

Russia has more men, more money, and zero limits.

To end the war faster, Ukraine must go more asymmetric and bring the fight deeper into Russia

2/9 Why is this needed?

Just defending gives Russia no reason to stop.

Trading land for time is smart, but not enough. Ukraine needs to hit Russia where it hurts.

It already does with strikes, but it must do even more to show the world it still has cards to play

3/9 Ukraine’s current two-part strategy is to trade land for time and crush Russia’s economy with deep strikes.

It is good, but it needs acceleration.

The war must become even more costly, even faster, for Russia

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

1/6 How should the world look according to Curtis Yarvin, the ideological father of JD Vance, Peter Thiel, and other powerful figures in the US?

And why should we be worried? 🧵

2/6 Thiel, Musk, and their circle have gained enormous influence in the US. They helped pick Trump’s VP and installed JD Vance in that role.

These far-right oligarchs are isolationist, pro-Russia, pro-China, and hostile to democracy.

Their guiding thinker is Curtis Yarvin

3/6 Yarvin’s core belief: democracy is a mistake.

He argues freedom creates chaos and inefficiency.

His solution? Replace democratic governments with authoritarian “CEO style” rule, where one leader runs a country like a corporation
