1/6 Two men are responsible for the war in Ukraine not ending:

Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

Russia started this fully unprovoked invasion and they are keeping it going.

Meanwhile Trump is doing nothing to pressure them 2/6 Ukraine has accepted all of Trump's ceasefire proposals while Russia has accepted zero.

Instead of negotiating, Putin has massively increased his strikes on Ukrainian civilians since the new US administration took office

1/6 Peter Thiel is the textbook Silicon Valley hypocrite.

He brands himself as a libertarian who hates the state but he built his fortune on government contracts.

Palantir is a taxpayer-funded spy machine that would not exist without the big government he claims to despise 2/6 The irony of his "anti-system" stance is staggering.

Thiel is a gay immigrant who built his empire in the heart of California liberalism.

He benefited from the very inclusive and open society he is now spending millions to dismantle and replace with a rigid hierarchy

1/9 The myth that "time is on Russia’s side" is finally hitting a wall.

Moscow is projecting an image of endless endurance, but the math under the surface tells a different story.

The Kremlin is trapped in a war it cannot win and a peace it cannot afford 🧵 2/9 In his Foreign Affairs article, “Ukraine’s War of Endurance” (February 16, 2026), Michael Kofman lays out the reality:

Time is not necessarily on Russia’s side

1/12 Peter Thiel is the Bond villain of the 21st century.

He is a powerful oligarch who operates in the shadows while pulling the strings of global politics.

He is potentially the most dangerous man in the world today.

What makes this Epstein-class oligarch so dangerous: 2/12 The hypocrisy is absolute.

Thiel is a gay, foreign-born billionaire who built his fortune from liberal California.

He benefited from every protection a democracy provides, yet he now spends his resources trying to dismantle that system for everyone else

1/7 Peter Thiel is the ultimate hypocrite.

He is a gay, foreign-born billionaire who built his fortune in liberal California.

He owns JD Vance and runs mass surveillance to fund a fascist movement aimed at destroying the very democracy that once allowed him to succeed 2/7 Thiel famously wrote that he no longer believes freedom and democracy are compatible.

This is the ideology of the man who owns JD Vance.

He does not want a better America.

He wants a corporate autocracy where the public is just a managed mob

1/12 EU regulation is like kryptonite to our enemies🧵 2/12 There is a reason why Putin, Musk, Trump, Vance, Thiel, and Xi all spend fortunes to attack Brussels.

They do not hate the EU because it fails.

They hate it because of its potential.

Our unity is their nightmare

1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.

Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵 2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.

They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.

This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation

1/12 “Value-Based Realism” was a major theme at Davos.

It is being sold by Stubb and Carney as a smart, pragmatic path for the West, but I think it is a strategic trap.

Here is why this new realism might actually lead to managed decline 🧵 2/12 The concept is the latest intellectual fashion.

@alexstubb and @MarkJCarney are pushing it as the ultimate manual for "middle powers" like Canada, the UK, and the EU.

It sounds sophisticated to be principled yet pragmatic, but we need to look a bit closer

1/5 Europe needs a reality check.

The strategies that worked during Trump's first term are useless now.

We tried playing nice, and it failed.

It is high time to stop the appeasement and start facing reality 2/5 The time for Europeans to appease Trump is over.

We have spent the last year watching our tactics from "Trump 1" fail miserably in "Trump 2."

Flattery and silence do not work anymore.

He sees them as weakness, not respect

1/8 Europe is sleepwalking into a forever war because we are too afraid to actually win.

We need to stop managing the conflict and start ending it.

Here is how 🧵 2/8 Europe has the power to end the war in Ukraine much faster but it requires a total shift in strategy.

We need to stop managing the conflict and start winning it.

Here is the roadmap to force a Russian collapse👇

1/7 Trump is no isolationist:

He is a show interventionist, a cowardly form of imperialist interventionism that is also meant to entertain the world 2/7 Trump's entire campaign was built on the lie that he would end wars and stop regime change operations.

It has been a year since he promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and the fighting continues

1/8 Why JD Vance is a greater threat to the American experiment than Donald Trump.

A thread on the Dark Enlightenment, eyeliner, and the end of the West🧵 2/8 Trump may be the worst and most traitorous president in US history, but JD Vance is a far more calculated threat.

Trump is erratic. Vance is a disciplined, smart, and well-organized opportunist ready to dismantle democracy with precision

1/7 Putin doesn’t want you to know this:

Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine has now lasted longer than the Soviet Union’s war against Nazi Germany in WWII.

By this stage of that war, Soviet troops were already in Berlin.

Today, Russia is still struggling to take Chasiv Yar 2/7 Russia has been trying to conquer the Donbas for 12 years, and the rest of Ukraine for nearly four of those.

Despite going all in and receiving help from partners, Russia controls less land now than it did in March 2022, one month into the invasion

1/5 Europe still treats unmanned systems like a niche.

Meanwhile, Russia already has an 80k-man strong unmanned systems branch that it plans to double in size in 2026.

If we do not scale up fast, we are handing Moscow an advantage that could cost us our survival 2/5 Russia now has 80k troops dedicated to unmanned systems and plans to double that number in 2026.

That is the size of a mid-tier European army, and it is about to get twice as big.

The gap keeps widening, and it will come back to bite us

1/7 Right now, we do not have a Coalition of the Willing.

We have a Coalition of the Unwilling, pretending to plan for the future while ignoring the present.

That needs to change if Europe wants to survive 2/7 Yesterday, the so-called Coalition of the Willing signed papers on deploying European troops to Ukraine after the war.

Sounds bold, right? Except the war is far from over, and real negotiations have not even started

1/6 Trump’s threat to seize Greenland isn’t just reckless. It’s traitorous.

Almost everything he does benefits Russia and China.

This move forces Europe to panic about Greenland instead of focusing on Ukraine, which is exactly what Moscow and Beijing want 2/6 Trump is the most traitorous president in US history.

Epstein’s emails show Jeffrey Epstein helped Russia blackmail Trump.

That could explain why Trump refuses to pressure Russia even as Moscow rejects his ceasefire proposals and keeps waging war

1/6 Nick Shirley claims to be an independent journalist. He is not.

He is a grifter, a right-wing industry plant, and a PayPal Mafia disinformation agent 🧵 2/6 He was invited to the White House in October 2025 and gets boosted by Trump’s team and the PayPal mafia.

He wears a Polymarket hoodie to show who owns him.

His job is to push lies that fit the right-wing agenda

1/7 Be careful what you wish for:

Those who pushed multipolarity and spheres of influence are now seeing the result of their ideology in Venezuela.

And this is just the beginning 🧵 2/7 For years, anti-West voices claimed multipolarity would mean peace and less US overreach.

They quoted Mearsheimer and Russian propaganda to defend Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Now they see what multipolarity really means

1/13 What to think about Trump’s Venezuela Operation?

So far it looks less like regime change and more like a hostile and illegal corporate takeover.

What does this mean for the world?

Let’s break it down 🧵 2/13 After months of threats, sunk boats, and US military gear moving into the Caribbean, Trump finally made his move yesterday.

In a daring operation, he struck Venezuela’s air defenses and kidnapped Maduro, flying him to the US for trial

1/7 Why appointing Budanov to replace Yermak as Zelensky’s chief of staff might be the right choice and what it means for Ukraine’s future 🧵 2/7 Zelensky announced Budanov will succeed Yermak as chief of staff.

Yermak stepped down in November after years in the role. He was powerful and feared, which matters during war, but unpopular, seen as incompetent, and tied to corruption.

Change was inevitable

1/9 Putin’s Russia has no plan in Ukraine.

After nearly 4 years of full-scale war, Russia is strategically losing but cannot afford to stop because stopping locks in defeat.

Fake stories about “strikes on Putin’s residence” show how desperate Moscow is 2/9 Russia launched this war to “demilitarize and denazify” Ukraine.

In plain terms that means regime change, a puppet government, a new constitution, and Russian troops turning Ukraine into a satellite state.

Today Russia is further from that goal than in 2022. How pathetic!
