1/8 Foreign Interference: Will we wait until it's too late, or take action now? We already have substantial evidence that Elon Musk is attempting to interfere in European elections to weaken and divide Europe, and we should not tolerate this Image
2/8 Musk is the wealthiest individual globally and wields significant influence over the President of the US. While he is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, figures in the world, he is also unpredictable and potentially the most dangerous person on the planet. Image
3/8 Musk has chosen to act as a far-right villain, doing as he pleases. Without an official position, he can pursue his business interests despite significant conflicts of interest. Additionally, he seeks to influence elections in Germany, the UK, and various other locations. Image
4/8 Musk consistently prioritizes his personal business interests over American interests, which makes him very pro-china and pro-russia. He won't ever confront these countries because he relies on them. Image
5/8 To appease china and russia, Musk is actively attempting to influence European elections by spreading unprecedented levels of disinformation and supporting far-right parties that are anti-EU and pro-china and pro-russia. Image
6/8 Musk plans to utilize all available tools, including X's algorithm and bots, to help these traitorous parties win as many elections as possible in Europe. This should not be tolerated. Image
7/8 The EU can either wait for these parties to win elections due to Musk's foreign interference or take action now before it's too late. It's time to act decisively. Image
8/8 Source:

1/11 Many think the war in Ukraine is a tie.

But strategically, Ukraine is much closer to achieving its initial strategic goals than russia is.

Here’s why Ukraine is closer to winning—and why russia is facing one of the biggest military failures in modern history Image
2/11 In war, success is measured by strategic objectives.

russia’s initial strategic goals were ”denazification and demilitarization,” meaning regime change, turning Ukraine into a satellite state, and installing a pro-russian puppet as its leader Image
3/11 That’s why russia lauched a full-scale invasion targeting Kyiv in early 2022—hoping for a quick collapse.

It failed.

Ukraine remains sovereign, democratic, and under Zelensky.

russia is now way further from reaching its strategic goals than it was in March 2022 Image

1/5 How unreliable can russia be?

It’s abandoning another partner—this time, Iran.

Just like it did with Armenia, Assad, the RSF in Sudan, and the junta in Myanmar.

russia talks a big game about loyalty.

But when things get tough, it disappears Image
2/5 Iran gave russia drones. Training. Know-how.

In return? Silence.

Iran is getting hit—and russia is doing nothing.

No support. No deterrence.

Just like Armenia. Just like Syria. Just like Sudan. Just like Myanmar. Just like always Image
3/5 russia loves to say the US is a selfish ally.

But russia is way worse.

It bleeds its partners dry—then leaves them to burn.

In Syria and across Africa, it took resources and influence.

But when the fire starts, it runs Image

1/5 Mearsheimer said NATO provoked russia.

He claimed Putin didn’t want Ukraine.

Now Putin says Ukraine is russia.

Mearsheimer wasn’t just wrong—he gave cover to a war of conquest Image
2/5 His ”realism” only sees russian interests.

No room for Ukraine’s sovereignty.

No respect for its people’s choices.

That’s not realism. That’s imperial nostalgia in disguise Image
3/5 He mocked Ukraine’s resistance.

Ignored russia’s failures.

Dismissed Ukrainian voices.

His predictions didn’t just miss—they erased reality Image

1/4 russia’s massive size isn’t natural—it’s the result of centuries of aggressive imperialism.

From Siberia to the Caucasus, it expanded by conquest, colonization, and erasure.

That same imperial mindset is driving its invasion of Ukraine today Image
2/4 Putin claims Ukraine ”is russia’s.”

That’s not just imperialism—it’s genocidal rhetoric and behavior.

Denying a nation’s existence is not acceptable.

This isn’t just about borders. It’s about domination and forced russification Image
3/4 russia’s expansion never stopped.

It just adapted—using propaganda, hybrid warfare, and brute force.

Ukraine is the latest target, but it won’t be the last unless the world wakes up and takes the right steps Image

1/4 Trump is desperate for a win after months of failure—and now he’s boxed himself in on Iran.

He dropped his classic ”two weeks” line again.

He’s put himself in a lose-lose situation: if he strikes, he risks a long war. If he backs down, he looks weak.

No good move Image
2/4 This isn’t new.

Trump has a pattern: bluff, stall, and hope someone else takes the hit.

He did it on tariffs and on russia.

Now he’s doing it again—on Iran Image
3/4 He may be waiting for Israel to do the dirty work, hoping to jump in later and claim the victory.

Or he will go all in soon.

Or he’s stalling to see if it’s worth the risk.

But wars rarely follow scripts—and china and russia are watching closely Image

1/6 Bot farms are the digital bioweapon of the 21st century.

Authoritarian regimes are flooding our social media with bots to divide, radicalize, and weaken the West. And we are barely fighting back.

What we can do before it’s too late: Image
2/6 russia, china, iran—they have mastered the art of digital warfare.

Millions and millions of bots spread disinformation, amplify outrage, and erode trust in democracy.

They are turning citizens into extremists who trust nothing—not even our own institutions Image
3/6 And it’s not just bots.

It’s a full ecosystem:

- Disinformation campaigns
- Paid influencers & ”journalists”
- Traitorous politicians

All working to destabilize the West from within—while we scroll in silence Image
