1/6 Important fact:

Jake Sullivan did far more for Ukraine than the entire Trump administration—and its supporters—combined.

- Biden/Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid to Ukraine
- Trump: $0 2/6 Jake Sullivan was far from perfect. But let’s be honest:

He did far more for Ukraine than anyone in the Trump administration—and anyone supporting it.

Results matter more than rumors, rhetoric, or vibes.

- Under Biden and Sullivan: $54.2B in security aid
- Under Trump: $0

1/5 A message to Europe:

We must stop holding on to the illusion that the war in Ukraine will end soon.

It won’t.

Trump’s actions—and our inaction—have made that impossible.

If we don’t wake up now, we’ll pay the price later 2/5 Trump has weakened Ukraine by cutting aid and refusing to add sanctions on russia.

Meanwhile, Europe has stood by, letting Trump and Putin decide its fate.

This war isn’t just Ukraine’s fight.

It’s existential for Europe

1/6 The wake-up call Europe needed?

Trump paused promised military aid to Ukraine—for the second time in months.

It’s time we face reality:

This war will last for years.

And Europe must finally start acting like it 2/6 Over three years of full-scale war.

Almost 8 months of Trump being re-elected.

And still—Europe has done shockingly little.

We have talked a lot. But we haven’t delivered.

Now Trump is not just refusing to send new aid—he’s cutting what was already promised

1/11 🏅🇷🇺 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 6

Welcome to part 6 of the Vatnik Hall of Fame - a thread series exposing the loudest Kremlin voices, disinfo pushers, and authoritarian fanboys.

From podcasters to dictators, this batch is especially spicy 2/11 Joe Rogan

The biggest podcaster in the world became a pipeline for conspiracy theories and anti-Ukraine propaganda.

Rogan hosts Kremlin apologists, mocks Ukraine, and endorsed Trump in 2024.

One of the Kremlin’s most influential megaphones

1/4 Huge double standards

The US says its stockpiles are too low to send promised aid to Ukraine.

But somehow, they’re never too low for Israel—a country with one of the best-equipped militaries in the world, facing far weaker enemies.

Ukraine? Fighting a nuclear-armed invader 2/4 Israel gets US jets, interceptors, and even deployed US THAAD batteries—despite already having Iron Dome, David’s Sling, Patriot, and Arrow batteries.

Ukraine? Told to wait. Told to die.

No jets. No air defense batteries. No interceptors. No urgency

1/7 Elbridge Colby is one of russia’s best allies in Washington.

He’s a traitor to the US and an enemy of Ukraine.

He must be remembered as the man who helped russia kill more Ukrainian civilians—and the Trump administration for enabling him 2/7 Elbridge Colby is not just a nepo baby or a twitter contrarian.

He is now directly responsible for the deaths of Ukrainian civilians.

As Trump’s Pentagon policy chief, he halted shipments of already-promised aid—right as russia launched its biggest strikes of the war

1/11 🏅🇷🇺 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 5

10 more names added to the list of russia’s most shameless enablers and apologists.

They have one thing in common: they serve the Kremlin’s interests 2/11 Calin Georgescu

Romanian politician & conspiracy theorist.

The king of TikTok.

Praises Putin—hates Ukraine and NATO.

A classic far-right populist working on behalf of the Kremlin

1/5 How to accelerate the end of the war:

If we want russia’s invasion of Ukraine to end faster, we can’t just help Ukraine survive.

We need to make the war costlier for russia.

That means going beyond defense.

Here’s how👇 2/5 Ukraine’s long-range strike capabilities need more funding and technological support.

They must be able to hit the energy infrastructure fueling russia’s war.

This isn’t escalation—it’s deterrence.

russia must feel the cost of its aggression at home

1/11 🏅🇷🇺 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 4

Another 10 names added to the list of russia’s most shameless enablers and apologists.

They have one thing in common: they serve the Kremlin’s interests 2/11 Nigel Farage

Helped russia achieve Brexit.

Called Putin the world leader he most admires.

Appeared on RT and echoed Kremlin talking points for years.

Still undermining Western unity

1/4 The top 3 biggest enablers of russia’s war on Ukraine:

They don’t all wear uniforms—but they all have blood on their hands.

Without them, Putin’s war machine would have collapsed long ago 2/4 china and russia’s other allies:

china, iran, north korea, and belarus have kept russia alive—helping it reroute exports, dodge sanctions, and sending weapons, tech, even soldiers.

Without them, russia’s economy and military would be in freefall.

Shame on them!

1/4 The war’s biggest enabler?

Elvira Nabiullina might be the most important reason russia hasn’t collapsed economically.

While Putin wages an unsustainable war, she’s kept the system afloat.

She’s not just russia’s central banker—she’s the regime’s economic firewall 2/4 russia is full of corrupt, incompetent officials.

Nabiullina is the opposite: competent, disciplined, and effective.

Despite sanctions, labor shortages, and runaway spending, she’s avoided hyperinflation and kept the ruble from imploding

1/11 🏅🇷🇺 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 3

Ten more shameless figures who support russia’s daily war crimes 2/11 Robert Fico

Slovak PM.

Cut off military aid to Ukraine.

Said Ukraine will never join NATO under his watch.

Wants to renew relations with russia—while Ukraine fights for its survival

1/9 🇷🇺🇫🇷⚠️

russia’s influence in France isn’t just about spies, politicians, or bots.

It’s also about TV hosts, media moguls, and talking heads who normalize Kremlin narratives.

A thread on how russian propaganda is quietly thriving in French media: 2/9 Vincent Bolloré - the media mogul behind CNews, Europe 1, and the JDD. He is russia’s most useful media ally in France.

His outlets have taken a sharp right turn and often downplay the russian threat. An Élysée advisor even called Europe 1 ”Radio KGB.” Dangerous and powerful

1/5 Meet the wannabe Antichrist:

Peter Thiel has warned us about the Antichrist.
But what if it's him? He'd love that.

A billionaire oligarch with deep influence, extremely radical ideas, and a vision for the future that should terrify you 2/5 Thiel is part of the PayPal mafia with Elon Musk and David Sacks.

He bankrolls far-right candidates.

He idolizes Curtis Yarvin—a monarchist who’s openly pro-authoritarian and pro-russian.

Thiel once said:

”I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible”

1/11 🏅🇷🇺 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 2

Today, we continue with ten more of the loudest Western voices doing everything they can to help russia win 2/11 Viktor Orban

Hungary’s corrupt PM who called Trump-Putin talks a ”hallelujah” moment.

Still pushing for russia’s ”reintegration” in Europe—while mocking EU support for Ukraine.

A real traitor and shame to humanity.

One of the worst people in Europe’s history

1/11 🏅 Vatnik Hall of Fame: Part 1

A thread on ten of the loudest, most influential Western voices who parrot Kremlin propaganda, undermine Ukraine, and consistently get it wrong 2/11 Tucker Carlson

Called Ukraine a ”client state” and mocked US support.

Aired Kremlin narratives daily—praised on russian state TV.

Blamed NATO when the full-scale war began.

Interviewed Putin.

Lied about Ukraine.

A russian and iranian propaganda pipeline in a bowtie

1/5 They said there’d be no invasion. Then there was.

Then they blamed NATO and said Ukraine would fall in a few days.

They were wrong—again and again.

This is a thread about the loudest voices who got Ukraine completely wrong 2/5 They mocked warnings as hysteria.

They said russia was bluffing.

Then tanks rolled in.

They blamed NATO for provoking.

Then said Ukraine would fall in a few days.

It didn’t.

Wrong at every step—and still talking

1/6 Finlandization 2.0?

When watching Western leaders interact with Trump, it’s hard not to get Finlandization vibes.

Not toward the USSR this time—but toward the US.

Are we entering Finlandization 2.0, where the West bends to Trump’s chaos instead of standing firm? 2/6 Trump, like Putin, is a classic schoolyard bully:

He pushes the weak, but backs down when faced with strength.

Iran said no—now he’s offering them money.

Canada, trade wars, Putin—every time someone stood firm, he backed off.

Appeasement only feeds him

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 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

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 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

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 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
