I don’t understand the logic of Russia wanting territory and it being seen as a reasonable request. I want a Mercedes G-Wagon but if I was to break into a dealership and attempt to take one, I would rightfully be arrested. International law cannot be erased by aggression.

What is happening here? Over the last 48 days, the US Federal Debt has surged by +$1 TRILLION, or +$21 billion PER DAY. Since August 11th, the US has added +$200 billion in debt. Why is US government spending running at WW2 levels in a "strong" economy? (a thread)

In July 2025 ALONE, the US posted a $291 BILLION deficit. This is the 2nd-largest deficit for any July on record. The deficit is now up +7.4% YoY, to $1.63 trillion FYTD, putting this year on track for the 3rd-largest deficit in history. Yet, the US keeps spending away.

Ukrainian soldier Dmytro Moseichuk, after 2 years in Russian captivity, still cannot comprehend how Russians can be so cruel: “The brutality I witnessed… I could never have imagined that such things still exist in the 21st century. That such people exist. A person tortures all

America’s secret economic weapon has never been oil, tech, or cheap capital. It’s the rule-of-law premium: the trust that here, contracts mean something, courts are impartial, and power has guardrails. This administration is cashing it out.

A gasoline shortage is headline news in today's Russian papers, which report: “Russia on the verge of a full-scale fuel crisis” and “In Primorye [Russian Far East] & Khabarovsk region drivers report kilometre-long queues at gas stations.” #ReadingRussia

Russia’s environmental crimes are enormous and get no where near enough attention.

Don't look away. Don't forget. Don't forgive. The world's richest nations and militaries are willingly allowing this to happen every day to an allied democracy.

Don Winslow Hard to believe that Americans still can't see what's going on. No knowledge of history just dooms them into this cycle. Luckily, Trump's incompetence will probably get in the way of the full implementation of his KGB handbook plans.
