#Trump/Russia

[originalleftist]

The huge flood of nigh-identical posts in the last day mocking Biden's age, health, etc, making "jokes" about him dying, and all leading to the same punchline of "One's old and the other's a Nazi, so they're both Equally Bad"... that's not coincidence. It's not organic. Y'all know this is a bot-driven psy-op, right? Even when real people pick up on it, they're taking their cues from whoever is paying the bots/paid trolls.

One thing about Americans voting for Trump is that they didn't fuck up just their country but fucked up the whole world too.

Even CHINA abstained from voting on this and yet USA voted against, alongside Russia.

If hearing Trump say that Ukraine started the war with Russia infuriates you – donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you're a USA citizen and you're upset and ashamed of your current government – take part in protests, educate those around you when you can, and donate to help Ukraine persevere. If you know at least a little about history, and you see that the current processes in the world lead to WW3 – donate to help Ukraine persevere, save democracy, and show dictators around the world that they can't take everything they want by power.

Write to your representatives, engage in protests, share whatever you can, or encourage others to do so. This war is so much more than you can imagine. It's the start of something that has the potential to affect everyone, no matter where you are or what you believe in. The world is a dangerous place, and it needs every one of us to do what we can to make it safer. Don't just think good - do good, in whichever small way you can.

sometimes i think about how i’ve effectively dug myself a grave with this blog. half my internet presence is about being queer and ukrainian, famously two things russia hates the most.

if trump proceeds with the “peaceful negotiations” that happen without ukraine even present, if he pushes to implement another leader in ukraine (meaning, of course, a pro-russian puppet) and makes my country a quote unquote neutral territory, it obviously means occupation. when there are bombs over my head, i’m at least an abstract target, i can rely on luck not to get hit. if russians come to power tho? i’m toast.

i wish i was exaggerating, but this is already happening to people in occupied parts of the country. those who had social media posts in ukrainian, about queer rights, etc. are being seeked out and threatened. my acquaintance was once on call with her friend on crimea, who had weird noises in the background. when questioned, she casually said that they were coming from russian police beating her neighbour for listening to ukrainian music.

i constantly hear from people who miraculously left the occupied territories how they had to delete everything from their phones, because russian soldiers would do random phone searches — both just on the street or when a person tries to leave the occupied city. it’s not uncommon that people get shot over it.

everything about “peaceful negotiations” and “compromises”, trading “land for a peace agreement” promises me a death sentence

"Trump has promised to end Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine within 24 hours if elected but has declined to publicly elaborate on how he plans to do so. Two top Trump advisers also recently proposed a plan that would cease military aid to Ukraine unless it agrees to hold peace negotiations with Russia.

One of the sources told Politico that Trump "would be open to something foreclosing NATO expansion and not going back to the 1991 border for Ukraine."

This treasonous motherfucker.

I wonder if this was a topic of discussion while his plane was parked next to the Russian embassy jet for two fucking days at the airport.

In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.

The US demands that Ukraine accept an immediate unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agrees.

Russia rejects any talk of such a ceasefire, and instead asks for a halt on strikes on energy targets, an area where Ukraine is hurting Russia. The US agrees and Ukraine agrees.

Russia within one day violates the terms of its own proposal, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure along with other civilian targets. There is no US response.

Meanwhile Russia insists that the United States enforce on Ukraine Russia’s war aims, even though they are outrageous and even though Russia is not winning the war. The US agrees.

The United States also insists that Ukraine concede its mineral wealth in exchange for nothing at all.

This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.

1) King Charles receives Zelensky in Sandringham.

It's a private residence.

There is no record of a foreign leader being received there for a private audience EVER.

2) President of the European Council, and former prime minister of Portugal António Costa, ALWAYS wears suit and tie in public.

Today, for the European leaders meeting in London, he wore a turtleneck.
