The resilience of the Ukrainian people continues to astonish me. Their endurance under fire, deprivation, and uncertainty is among the most extraordinary acts of national will in modern history.

But resilience does not mean superhuman. Millions are now enduring winter with power stations destroyed, heat cut, and basic services under sustained attack.

I remain skeptical of BlackRock (thread below), and the idea an economic plan provides security seems ludicrous given how little the mineral deal has mattered.
To begin with - we need to stop calling this a modern day Marshall plan. It’s not.

I uploaded verified images of the “peace” document to Grok.

Asked in the most manipulated way possible.
1. The elderly are those 60+ who VOLUNTEER for non-combat roles.
2. The videos of forced conscription in Ukraine would stop if Russia ended the war.

I posted about the Baltics a couple of times yesterday - and whew boy did it draw out the crazies.
If you’re taking flak, you’re over the target.
Russia would be dumb (D-U-M-B) to attack them (not that it’s stopped Putin before).
And here’s why 🧵
The Baltic states - Estonia, Latvia, & Lithuania - live under constant pressure from an asymmetric Russian threat. With a combined population of just over 6 million and a front-row seat to Russian aggression they stand as small but fierce nations holding the line at NATO’s edge.

Respect is mutual.
But I disagree.
Sullivan and Biden led the greatest deterrence failure since the end of the Cold War.
January 20, 2021: Biden administration launches war on American energy – President
Biden cancels the Keystone XL pipeline and bans all new federal drilling, handicapping the
American oil and gas industry and killing as many as 59,000 jobs. European allies intensify their reliance on Russian energy supplies.
