Russia's Invasion of Ukraine Is Essentially Not About NATO

Instead of buying Putin's claimed sense of military threat, theorists of realism should see the driver in his disdain for democracy.

Polarization: 🗳️ In a country divided along party lines, 85% of Democrats support Trump’s indictments, while only 16% of Republicans do. Will these stark differences shape the electoral landscape this November? #Election2024 #Polarization #ProtectDemocracy #DefendFreedom #StopTheHate #ResistFascism #HopeNotHate https://buff.ly/4fp9KxP
Do we have any idea who will win the US election? No. Uncertainty is sky-high

Not only do we have no idea who will win, we also may not get a result till days after the election

The Guardian
A fascist leader doesn’t look like they do in the history books. They look like men who promise ‘strength,’ make scapegoats of the vulnerable, and divide rather than unite. Trump isn’t just rhetoric; he’s the playbook. #ProtectDemocracy #DefendFreedom #StopTheHate #ResistFascism #HopeNotHate https://buff.ly/3UtM17M

Conservatives hyped anti-Ukraine videos created by a TV producer who also worked for Russian media

Ben Swann, a self-described independent journalist who promotes conspiracy theories, owns a company that’s been paid millions of dollars in recent years by Russian state media. Through a separate company, he’s produced a series of online videos critical of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that have been heavily promoted by conservative influencers. The creation of “Zelenskyy Unmasked” and its spread reveal how widely Russia-backed talking points are traveling on social media. It’s a trend that concerns current and former U.S. intelligence officials and disinformation experts. An investigation by The Associated Press into the series provides insights into the shadowy and profitable world of political influencers who are not required to disclose who is paying them.

Every day, #moscovia 🇷🇺 kills hundreds of innocent people, yet the #USA 🇺🇸 still withholds crucial air and missle support for #Ukraine 🇺🇦, costing more innocent lives. #Europe 🇪🇺, at least, is sharing old F-16s and tanks to defend freedom.

I hope Ukrainians move to the #EU and #US so that in 10-15 years, they can elect leaders who will end this madness and eliminate the Eastern threat once and for all.
