when Donald J. Trump pushed for Putin to talk the Kremlin demon paused his attacks on Kyiv. Sure, he kept hitting harder-to-say cities, betting that Trump would not hear about it. Now for the 1st time since the Alaska meeting, Kyiv is under an insane fckin Russia attack

Dear old friends in the world of the White House: Hello from Kyiv. How do I narrate this night, of a massive Russian missile and drone attack? Well, I'll try in this developing thread. 🧵⤵️

🎯 The most charitable interpretation of the Alaska summit is that it was a huge blunder and display of weakness by Trump. Putin, like all dictators, is quick to attack at any sign of weakness. More likely, it was a gift at Putin‘s demand and more collusion is to come.

if modi withdrew indian troops from ukraine this war would be over.

“The thing is, Witkoff isn’t consistently engaged. He will pop in for a visit to Vladimir Putin, say a bunch of stuff, not tell anyone what really happened and then just fuck off to his life again. Meanwhile, the Russians are talking to you about how ‘Witkoff says…’ and you

Neither Trump nor Vance nor Rubio have ever called for Russia to remove its invading armies from Ukraine. Extraordinary when you think about it. Because……..

For a nation that taxed notebooks, pencils etc at 12% and calls it a gift when exempting it, we should be worried. All this, while the real business model is: 1. To impose an entrance exam at every stage, push people to coaching and charge 18% GST. 2. Permit degree mills to

Crimea is not just a piece of land to trade or use for your interests. It is our home.

#GST reforms: Quick take FY 26 GST budget: INR 26 lac crore Post rationalisation: INR 25.5 lac crore Govt revenue post “reforms” is almost the same as before. How can you save tax when GST collection stays the same? Read numbers. Avoid noise. Knowledge is key!

NBC reports that U.S. is negotiating a deal with Ukraine that would enable it to purchase $100 billion worth of weapons in exchange for intellectual property rights to some of the advanced systems the Ukrainians have developed. Ukraine needs to be able to generate income by

5/ Freedom did prove itself in the former USSR— Ukraine, a post-Soviet nation with millions of Russian speakers, proved the good life is possible. For Putin, this was the greatest threat. If freedom works, what's the point of the Kremlin? 📸Kyiv 2025⤵️
