👀Via Timothy Snyder:

#Trump's allies are selling out #Ukraine in exchange for #Russia backing in the election.

A Trump victory in November would finish off US democracy.

And a Russian victory in Ukraine would doom freedom generally.

If this minority coalition of international fascists wins in 2024, life will be rotten for everyone else indefinitely.

If you want a chance to live in a decent world, you've got half a year to act.

@GottaLaff no, it wouldn't. It would make everything much harder, but saying it would doom everyone and everything is removing agency from many people who fight and will keep fighting.

@peteriskrisjanis He’s doing the opposite. He’s lighting a fire under them. And… he’s an expert on this. Do you know his work?

@GottaLaff I know him. I know him being quite emotional about Ukraine and a bit hyperbolic. I am from Latvia, it is next to me, I am very accute aware what is going on. However hyperbole is not gonna increase support. We need to be consistent. We need to call out fascists. And I realise people like them are trying rally support, but being hyperbolic about it....it pushes people away.

@peteriskrisjanis @GottaLaff Prof Snyder is anything but hyperbolic as it pertains to America. If Trump wins then Putin will control of America. Central Europe will go up in flames.

I don’t think people realize how much other countries depend on our military **infrastructure**.

Today, this minute, 10th Mountain Division has part of the division stationed in POLAND. What happens if 5 Eyes stops functioning?

Life will get hard fast for Americans, then for everyone.
