Russian forces walked inside a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian troops from the rear in Kursk
Ukraine’s military and Russian war bloggers say Russian special forces walked inside a gas pipeline to strike Ukrainian units from the rear in the Kursk region.
Rubio told Sikorski: “No one has made any threats about cutting Ukraine off from Starlink. And say thank you because without Starlink, Ukraine would have lost this war long ago and Russians would be on the border with Poland right now.”
In fact, Russians are already on the border with Poland because the Russian region of Kaliningrad lies on Poland’s northern border.
"Say thank you" - Marco
What is it with MAGAsites demanding thanks from everyone?
MAGA are trying to make it appear that the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine is Ukraine's problem alone.
In reality Zelenskyy doesn't have to thank anyone or be subservient - Ukrainians are sacrificing everything to keep Putin out of Europe and sending a message that Putin can't just invade anywhere he pleases.
MAGA doesn't like that narrative, we could guess why... Nor does Putin. Trump is also squeezing Zelenskyy for the rare minerals in Ukraine.
The russian assets in the White House want to portray Zelensky and Ukraine as insufficiently thankful for USA aid and as disrespectful towards the usa, and to use those supposed slights as justification for cutting off aid. To reinforce this narrative with their audience, other fellow travellers are now repeating those lies.
This goes back to the white house meeting where Trump and Vance claimed that Zelensky was disrespectful because of how he was dressed (normal) and how he didn't thank anyone according to them (he had, profusely, there's video of it). It was a clown show and the meeting didn't deliver the desired images + soundbites, so now the usa republicans are working overtime in providing the necessary soundbites for fox news etc.
it feeds into their superiority complex and staves off their feelings of inadequacy.
we're figuratively watching our country be nazified by the "Succulent Chinese Meal" guy.
Succulent Chinese Meal guy passed away not too long ago.
Hey, EU, the US has been cut off at the knees by a nazi traitor. Fucking DO something!
Hey US, you have nazis controlling your country. Fucking DO something!
The nature of being a bunch of smaller countries is that you have to actually take the time to make sure you're working together on something. There's not a single government to direct it. There will be negotiations.
However in the meantime, support continues. France is supplying intel, and Mirage 2000 jets that France gave to Ukraine deployed in the last couple of days. The UK sent £750,000,000 on Friday. The EU approved about €200,000,000 in contracts for Czech companies to help rebuild damaged things in Ukraine.
That's actually quite crafty, I'm impressed.
Food, water, ammunition, communications, charging electrical devices, power banks, the approach of the main forces, evacuating the wounded … Two or three groups in the rear without all this — that’s a disaster
Two or three groups? Man, that must be every creative Russian soldier there is. /s
