The only reason for russia started the war again in 2022 is that it managed to normalize and made everyone forget what happened in 2014.
Everyone accepted russia back into the world and as soon as it happened putin carried on with his plan to finish off Ukraine.
Now it's happening again. All those who advocate to bringing back russia into the world stage will enable its ugly tentacles back into their country political lives advocating to build new dependencies on russian energy products and then they will strike again.
Never fucking learning anything

The only way for the war to stop is to make sure that russia has no hope of taking control over Ukraine.
If russia feels like it can build a relationship with the USA and decide Ukraine's fate in a closed cabinet without Ukraine, russia will keep the war up until it loses that hope or Ukraine falls.
So if you want killings to stop, you should make a choice, you pick either one of these:
1) Ukraine dying
2) Starving russia further, while helping Ukraine
I know many cynical people will say, i don't care about Ukraine. don't bother commenting. I am not interested in the opinions of those who don't care about existence of the entire nation, these are soulless ghouls.

Many of these Ukrainian guys who returned home from Russian captivity in today's latest prisoner exchange had been held in enemy dungeons since 2022. Marines who defended Mariupol back then... it feels like an entire era of the world ago.
Among them are five guys who had previously been believed killed in the mass murder of Ukrainian POWs at the Russian concentration camp in Olenivka.
I am so incredibly proud of our people. The greatest and most heroic nation in the world today.

Why is the US suddenly buying russian diesel(it wont lower the cost)? Why are all the anti-Ukraine voices in the West suddenly singing in unison?
The answer is in the numbers.
russia in 2026 vs. 2025 (Jan to Sep):
Territorial gains: DOWN 72%
Personnel losses: UP 2%
Budget deficit: UP 49%
russia is losing more men, capturing far less land, and running out of money faster. Russia cannot keep fighting this war forever at this cost.
It needs Ukraine to lose, but it cannot defeat Ukraine on the battlefield. So now Russia needs Ukraine's Western partners to finish the job for it.

Trump could have had it all: a Nobel Peace Prize, low gas prices, and Iran on its knees.
Instead, he fucked everything up.
Instead of senselessly bombing Iran, believing in the degenerate idea that a zealous authoritarian regime would simply collapse if you killed its leadership, he could have:
1. Tightened sanctions against Russia.
2. Provided more military aid to Ukraine.
3. Combined low energy prices with the two measures above to finally bring Russia's war against Ukraine to an end and pacify Russia.
4. Worked with grateful European allies and Ukraine to form a coalition to end Iran's nuclear ambitions, instead of launching a war without a plan to secure the Strait of Hormuz and keep energy flowing.
Instead, he started useless trade wars with America's allies, without even having the legal authority to do so, cut aid to Ukraine, colluded with Russia, fucked up the global energy market, and drove up gas prices for Americans.
Now, in a desperate attempt to save his approval ratings, he's doing the exact opposite of what he should be doing.
He's threatening Ukraine with a cutoff of American weapons sales, undermining the American defense manufacturing industry in the middle of an energy crisis that he helped create.
And now, desperately trying to score political points, he's attempting to save the Russian energy sector and shift the blame for his fucked-up war in the Middle East onto Ukraine.
Buying Russian diesel will have almost zero impact on energy prices, but it could help Russia prolong its war against Ukraine for another year or two.
Trump could have strengthened America's alliances, weakened Russia, helped Ukraine win the war, contained Iran, and delivered lower energy prices to American consumers.
Instead, he's a complete fuck-up who is costing Americans and the rest of the world hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of Ukrainian lives, for no other fucking reason than his complete and utter stupidity.

Start producing more American oil again
That’s the plan

Ever since Putin’s 2022 blitzkrieg failed, his theory of victory has rested on a single assumption: that time was on its side, and that sooner or later the West would offer at the negotiating table what Moscow could not achieve on the battlefield.
Now, as that illusion fades, the Kremlin is escalating tensions with NATO in a last attempt to lure the West into a negotiation trap, fracture support for Ukraine, and divert us from our course.
We see this strategy for what it is. And our message remains: the only way to end the suffering is simple: end the aggression, withdraw behind Russia’s internationally recognized borders, and stay there.

"We will not defend Taiwan, and we are halting arms shipments to the island, since they themselves are attempting to instigate a war against China"—Trump's words from a recent interview can be interpreted in precisely this way.
The Ukraine scenario is repeating itself. In the event of a Chinese attack, Trump will likely go a step further and ask: "Taiwan, why did you start a war when you held absolutely no cards?"

russian unlimited manpower is a myth that is coming to its end. Endless meat assaults for little or no territorial or strategic gain, hundreds of thousands wounded, and AWOL troops returning home telling the truth, multiplied by economic problems in russia, are resulting in cracks in russian military operations. I would be very careful about calling russia a paper tiger. Very few nations could sacrifice so many lives for little to no gain, but their ability to conduct further serious assault operations against Ukraine is reaching its logical conclusion.
It is time to put an end to russian imperial ambitions by tightening sanctions and increasing military and financial aid to Ukraine. russia has about a year of diminishing assault operations. After that, it will be a decaying military.
All that said, russia will do its best to address these problems, and it will include:
1) massive disinformation campaigns
2) large-scale recruitment efforts overseas
3) political blackmail and influence through its puppet parties in Europe and agents in the USA (Witkoff and others)
The path to Ukrainian victory has never been as clear as it is now.

Sorry to be blunt, but I am asking you to donate towards our efforts to get more engineering equipment to Ukraine, specifically two excavators and a truck for the 72nd brigade. We are stuck at 50%, and my post seems to be supressed by X.
These machines save lives and I can't explain well enough how important they are. Neither foreign governments, nor Ukrainian leadership is providing enough of them to our defenders. But we can help, please don't look away from atrocities russia is committing, a simple retweet, like and comment is supper helpful, and your donations

Hello everyone, I know that we are all eager to see the war end, negotiations succeed, and peace return. But the reality is - it won’t happen soon. That’s why I’m fundraising for a new batch of engineering equipment: excavators and trucks with cranes. The donation link is at the end.
please read, retweet and like ⤵️
The war rages on. Attacks only intensify, and escalation continues. That’s why our team cannot just stand aside and wait for negotiations to bring results.
We can help. And we can help substantially. While our aid won’t drive Russia out of Ukraine, it will change the lives of battalions, companies, and even brigades.
Our fund provides the Ukrainian military with trucks equipped with cranes and excavators.
What once took months to build, fortified positions for drone pilots, artillery, command posts, and infantry—now takes days.
What once took days to load and unload is now done in hours.
Our aid helps to close manpower shortages and capability gaps in daily operations. In turn, this saves lives and significantly increases unit effectiveness.
For example, a drone battalion commander who received one of our excavators and a transport vehicle told me that, thanks to this support, his unit now has three additional crews working simultaneously because they no longer waste time waiting for positions to be built by others.
This is why I believe our aid is low-hanging fruit that too many overlook.

🇺🇸 The White House has confirmed a pause in weapons deliveries to Ukraine, including PAC-3 Patriot interceptors, 155mm artillery shells, GMLRS, Stinger missiles, AIM-7, and Hellfire rockets — according to PBS News correspondent Nick Schifrin.
"This decision was made to prioritize America’s interests after the Department of Defense reviewed military support provided to countries worldwide."
Instead of sanctions against Russia? Halting aid to Ukraine.
The U.S. has halted shipments of certain air defense missiles and precision-guided munitions to Ukraine, Politico reports.
The decision was made in early June but is only taking effect now. The reason: so-called depletion of U.S. stockpiles.

I am asking you to comment, like and repost the post below, it simnifically boosts visibility and effectiveness of the fundraiser. Thank you all for the support.
Hello everyone, I am starting a new fundraiser for more engineering equipment (donation link at the end 🔗)
While much of the fundraisers focus on delivering drones to Ukraine, I’m working on something just as critical: protecting our forces from enemy drones.
To survive on the battlefield today, especially under constant FPV drone threat, troops need to be underground. That means fortified, concealed positions—and those can’t be dug by hand. Not at scale. Not fast enough.
That’s why I’m raising $120,000 to purchase two 8-ton excavators for the 65th Mechanized Brigade, one of the most heavily engaged units in the Zaporizhzhia direction. These machines will dig positions that protect drone operators, infantry, artillery, vehicles—everything.
To put it simply:
🚜 What an excavator can do in a day would take 40 soldiers manually.
🪖 Unfortunately Ukraine is facing a severe manpower shortage. We must help it do more with less.
Thanks to your support, the excavators we’ve already delivered are reshaping the battlefield. Self-propelled guns now operate from well-concealed hideouts. Drone teams are surviving thanks to rapid-deploy dugouts. These machines have saved lives and gear worth millions.
Now the 65th Brigade needs the same.
Each excavator costs about $40,000–$45,000, plus $10,000 for repairs. The 18-ton truck with crane to transport them at around 25,000$.
🛡️ Let’s give the 65th the tools to survive and fight back.
📍 Donate here: paypal.com/donate?campaign_i…
Please repost, share, and comment. Every signal boost helps us reach the people who can help fund this effort.
Thank you.

I would appreciate a repost, like and a comment on the post below. It greatly helps the fundraiser. Only 12k left to raise!
Surprisingly, one of the most effective and underrated outcomes of our engineering equipment deliveries has been the beavertail trucks we supply alongside the excavators. (Way to help in the end)
These trucks move broken equipment — from Kozak armored vehicles and buses to utility pickups and sedans.
Given the age of Ukraine’s vehicle fleet and the brutal conditions in which it operates, every beavertail truck we deliver becomes an irreplaceable workhorse for repair units, saving thousands of dollars, critical time, and manpower that would otherwise be lost.
This isn’t high-tech or flashy. But without reliable transport, drone operators and infantry simply can’t do their jobs. These trucks keep the entire machine running behind the scenes.
@LibertyUkraineF has been delivering these trucks for over a year. Our team in Kharkiv works daily to service, repair, and prepare each vehicle before handing it over to the units. With limited funding, these jobs often require complex repairs — from hydraulic failures to electrical issues that few mechanics want to touch. Our shop is small, under-equipped, but our team led by @vaycartana gets it done every day.
Right now, our fundraiser is stuck at 87%. Donations have slowed to a halt, but the need hasn’t. Every dollar helps us keep these vehicles moving to the frontline.

Folks, please comment, like and retweet the post below, i've never had such an urgent fundraiser to save Ukraine.
I know it seems like a like and a comment means nothing, but we are thousands, and it adds up.
My friends, I have an urgent request, one of the most important I’ve ever had during these difficult times. Please repost and donate (see the next tweet).
Right now, the western flank in Kursk is under tremendous pressure, and Russia is doubling down to ensure we don’t keep the Kursk card on the table. My friends are fighting to hold the line, contain enemy forces, and prevent them from reaching the road.
There is a severe shortage of drones, and they have relied on our support for the past two months. Many attacks happen at night, and they urgently need thermal-vision Mavic 3T drones.
We have raised $100,000 out of the $150,000 needed, but there is still a long way to go.
With the U.S. abandoning us, we desperately need your help.
Every contribution counts, even if it’s just a dollar.
Without exaggeration, I can say that Ukraine’s survival, future, and freedom depend on us right now.
Please see the next tweet for donation details ⤵️

The reason why I am asking for retweets, is that because I can't stay online all the time, my visibility is greatly diminished by twitter. With 85,000 followers, my messages are rarely seen by more then 15,000 users.
So you reposts help greatly. They are saving lives. it's not empty words
Our engineering equipment efforts have been a tremendous success, and we now have a very important and urgent request incoming. I am asking for your aid in reposting and donating, the donation link is at the end.
Here are more details, though I can't reveal everything due to OPSEC.
One of the brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has reached out to me for assistance with engineering equipment so they can quickly build new command and control posts. There are only a couple of roads leading into Kursk from the Sumy region. Unfortunately, with fiber-optic FPV drones becoming more common, traveling these roads has become incredibly dangerous.
Losses have increased, and we have been asked to help address this issue by providing engineering equipment. This equipment will be used to quickly construct new positions for drone pilots and small command centers.
Unfortunately, I can't go into more detail for obvious reasons.
After discussions and considering the equipment we have already procured (trucks), we have decided to fundraise for two 8-ton excavators. Combined with the crane truck already in our pipeline, this equipment can make a huge difference and save the lives of our servicemen.
I greatly appreciate your support. I know that times are volatile and uncertain, but no matter what, Ukraine must stand. And for us to stand, we need our soldiers to stay alive.
The goal of the fundraiser is $70,000
We will buy two Yanmar Vio80 excavators.
We will transport, repair, and transfer them over the next month.
