Binnen 30 Stunden hat Russland gestern und heute früh mehr als 1600 Langstreckendrohnen, Marschflugkörper und ballistische Raketen auf die Ukraine gefeuert. Damit wird klar, dass Putins „Waffenruhe“ in Wirklichkeit eine #Bewaffnungsruhe war, um diesen größten Angriff des gesamten Krieges während seiner Parade vorzubereiten. Wer ihm weiter irgendeine Art von „Friedenswillen“ unterstellt, ist entweder dumm oder ein Lügner.

Trump announced lifting of some oil sanctions on Russia. The SAME DAY we send OUR soldiers to defend YOUR bases with weapons developed at the cost of Ukrainian lives, you let those who killed them rebuild their cash reserves so they can kill more of us. FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Trump: I say two things to Europe. Stop the windmills. I really mean it. It's so sad. You fly over and you see these windmills all over the place, ruining your beautiful fields and valleys and killing your birds, and if they're stuck in the ocean ruining your oceans

Singapore created the world's most efficient healthcare system from scratch in one generation. They spend $4,000 per person on healthcare. We spend $15,000. Their secret? The exact opposite of what American "experts" recommend: 🧵

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

One of the largest demonstrations in the history of Slovakia has taken place tonight,  with protestors aiming to oust the pro-Kremlin Fico government. There's nothing quite like the memory of the horrors of Russian occupation to bring out the resistance, old and young.

Yeah, and the Poles were at fault for Hitler and Stalin invading their country in 1939. Roosevelt shouldn't have allowed the Japanese to attack us in 1941. The Kuwaitis were to blame for Saddam's invasion. Bush shouldn't have allowed 9/11, etc. Geez.
