1/7 Why are Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, and other far-right billionaires willing to sacrifice Ukraine and Taiwan?
2/7 Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks are far-right billionaires who indirectly gained power in the 2024 presidential election. They significantly influence Trump's policies and want him to abandon Ukraine and Taiwan.
3/7 These billionaires consistently prioritize their business interests over American interests. They rely on china for its market, labor, and natural resources, which leads them to avoid confronting china, regardless of its actions.
4/7 They envision a world where the US and China compete while sharing global spheres of influence. Their greatest fear is a real war or even a trade war with china. Additionally, they view russia as an extension of china, so they also seek peace with russia.
5/7 They are cowards and perceive russia as a potential threat that could create problems. As a result, they are willing to appease russia and cater to its demands. Ultimately, they mistakenly view russia as a conservative nation, which it is not.
6/7 As a result, they view Taiwan and Ukraine as nuisances and are eager to appease china and russia to secure business opportunities. Their disdain for Ukraine and Taiwan is further fueled by the democratic world’s support for both.

1/9 A new class of people has become the biggest threat to democracy, freedom of speech, human rights, and humanity as a whole.
Who are they?
Tech oligarchs
2/9 On Trump’s inauguration, a group of tech oligarchs were present, celebrating.
These tech billionaires with political influence are not champions of freedom.
They are enemies of democracy, ready to back any side, even fascists, if it serves their interests
3/9 Why did they support Trump?
Because Trump was useful. He promised deregulation, tax cuts, and chaos, perfect conditions for oligarchs to grow richer and more powerful. He can be bought. He gives them more power.
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.
