How can we explain Trump’s aggressive actions against Ukraine?

There is a perfect explanation!

1/n Image
2/ Half a year ago, I predicted that if Trump were elected, his administration would:
1.Block Ukraine from joining NATO.
2.Cut off aid to Ukraine.
3.Force Ukraine to surrender territory to russia by freezing the war along the front line.
3/ So far, two of these goals have been accomplished.

The third is trickier—Putin is hesitant to freeze the war because it would mean losing part of russia.

But Trump is doing everything he can to help russia shift the balance.
4/ Trump has no regard for Ukraine. To him, Ukraine is just an obstacle to a strong U.S.-russia relationship.

To remove that obstacle, he needs russia to regain control of the Kursk region—so that his so-called “negotiations” can begin.
5/ How is Trump making this happen?

First, he cut off arms supplies right as russia launched a major counteroffensive in Kursk.
Second, he halted vital intelligence sharing with Ukraine.
6/ TIME magazine reports that these moves have devastated Ukraine, causing hundreds of deaths, with “the worst losses in Kursk.”

Trump is deliberately crippling Ukraine so russia can retake Kursk—setting the stage for Ukraine’s capitulation under his “peace deal.”
7/ Once Trump eliminates the “Ukrainian problem,” he will be free to reunite with his good friend—the war criminal Putin—and restore the U.S.-russia relationship.

This isn’t just about Ukraine. It’s about Trump’s loyalty to russia over democracy.

China is lying to the whole world.

Satellite images prove that a russian LNG ship transferred cargo to a Chinese tanker off Malaysia.

1/n Image
2/ On October 18, 2025, a russian LNG tanker named Perle transferred approximately 170,000 cubic meters of liquefied natural gas — originating from the US-sanctioned russian Portovaya LNG facility in the Baltic Sea — to the Chinese tanker CCH Gas.
3/ The ship-to-ship transfer took place about 90 kilometers east of the Malaysian Peninsula, in international waters off Malaysia’s coast.

Horseshoe Theory

Far-right and far-left are often portrayed as polar opposites. In reality, they are two sides of the same coin. The fact that both are sympathetic to russia is just another nail in this coffin.

In political science, this is known as horseshoe theory.

1/n Image
2/ Horseshoe theory - an idea that the far left and right, rather than being at opposite ends of a straight line, actually curve toward one another like a horseshoe. They mirror each other in their rejection of the center and willingness to excuse or enable authoritarian regime.
3/ The clearest historical example is the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, when Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union signed a non-aggression agreement that allowed them to divide Poland between them.

I’ll say something that isn’t popular right now.

In some sinister way, I think that many Europeans quietly hope the war between russia and Ukraine doesn’t end soon.

1/n Image
2/ Because once the war ends, russian troops will not simply disappear — they’ll move. The garrisons now pinned down in Eastern Ukraine will redeploy to Finland, to the Baltic borders. And make no mistake — russia will keep producing weapons and expanding its military complex.
3/ Ukraine is ready to defend its borders. Peace will only make Ukraine stronger. But Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania cannot stop a russian onslaught on their own. Once russian units shift westward, they’ll be facing NATO directly — and Europe will have no more buffer.

“Women do not belong on the front line.”

That’s what the U.S. Secretary of Defense recently implied by suggesting that women are weaker, less able to handle the stress of war, not made for combat.

But the only problem: he is so completely wrong.

1/n Image
2/ There soon may come a time when the U.S. military will invite Ukrainian women to train their Marines — because these women have already proven what true courage looks like.
3/ More than 60,000 women now serve in Ukraine’s Armed Forces. Unlike men, they are not required to stay and fight. Under martial law, they could have left the country — but they chose to stay. They volunteered.

Russia will continue to escalate its aggressive actions against NATO countries.

Drones over Poland, military planes over Estonia, espionage and sabotage across other NATO members — all of it is part of a growing pattern.

1/n Image
2/ There are two reasons for this:
1.A strategic deadlock in Ukraine.
2.The perception that the West is not ready for a real fight — despite its overwhelming economic and demographic advantages.
3/ Yes, the russians have far fewer resources than NATO. And, yes, they’ve been undermined by Ukrainians.

But they see that, psychologically, the West is unprepared. And they will continue escalating their provocations — for now, hybrid and just short of open conflict.

You could call the Department of Defense the Department of War. You could also call it the Ministry of Aggression, the Ministry of Enemy Annihilation, or Warhammer.

But the true greatness of the Armed Forces — is not in talk.

1/n Image
2/ All the best and most convincing words, all the expensive suits and red ties are worth nothing if the enemy flies unpunished around your bases, cuts your cables, seizes whole countries across the globe, while you play at being Darth Vader and lecture about beards.
3/ When I watched that bizarre performance at the Pentagon, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was watching a Hollywood movie and the credits were about to roll — the characters were so comical and the messages so dumb.
