The russian terrorist state doesn’t respect any rules. Western countries respecting rules when it comes to russia is effectively surrender. The only way to restore a rules-based international order is to fight nasty, fight dirty, and destroy the russian terrorist state now.
Fascist Russia is at war with the West. It’s not by choice, but every Western democracy is at war with Russia. When attacked, a nation fights and defends itself or it surrenders and is enslaved. Ukrainians fight. Other nations submit.
Two weeks ago Trump said “We’ll see in two weeks” about Russia’s intention to end the war. Times up. Russia has no intention of ending the war and Trump has no intention of ending his fanatical devotion to Putin.
After the triumph of the russian terrorist state in Alaska, the power and influence of the United States declined as rapidly as the state of Trump’s health.
Another humiliation for Trump: “There was no agreement on either a trilateral or bilateral meeting with Zelenskyy," said Putin’s aide Yuri Ushakov. The summit in Russian America (Alaska) turned out to be a catastrophe that accelerated the decline and fall of the United States.

Russian terrorists made an assassination attempt on President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen. EU officials will talk about how afraid they are. They will prominently display their weakness and cowardice in the futile hope the enemy doesn't get them next time.

Putin is charged with war crimes for the systematic abduction of Ukrainian children, deporting them to the Russian Federation, and ‘adopting’ them into Russian families to steal their language, culture and citizenship. By meeting Putin, Trump, Modi and Xi abet war crimes.
At the start of the broad offensive by the russian fascist invaders in 2022 the Ukrainians proposed a grand bargain to the rest of Europe: you shelter the skies – we’ll do the rest. You keep our families safe and we’ll do all the fighting. Europe turned them down, hence WWIII.
After the electronic warfare attack by russian terrorists on Ursula von der Leyen’s aircraft the European Union is putting together a Coalition of the Concerned. The coalition will consist of a standing reserve of concern and a rapid reaction force of deep concern.
Send expeditionary forces to Ukraine to defeat the russian fascist invaders and end the war. Only fools talk about peacekeepers and post-conflict stabilization forces and similar nonsense before Ukraine's victory has been secured.
For Ukrainian missiles and drones to strike terrorist bases in occupied Königsberg (so-called Kaliningrad) they would have to cross enemy territory in Belarus and then get permission to fly over Poland or Lithuania. It would be far better for NATO members to defend themselves.
By attacking Ursula von der Leyen’s aircraft the russian terrorist state carried out an overt act of war against the EU. There is no chance the EU will do the right thing and declare a state of war to exist. There is a 100% chance the EU will cower in fear and accept defeat.
NATO should launch anti-radiation missiles and destroy GPS jamming stations on the territory of the russian terrorist state. Do it today. It is intolerable that NATO members submit to relentless and escalating attacks by russian terrorists and never defend themselves.
An attack by militants of the russian terrorist state – GPS jamming – forced the aircraft of European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to make to make an emergency landing in Bulgaria.
Fascist Russia invaded Ukraine on February 20, 2014. World War III has lasted over 11 1/2 years – longer than World Wars I and II combined. Russia’s war is endless because Ukraine is Western civilization’s only fighting defender and the Great Powers have no plan for victory.
Ukraine has substantially degraded air defences of the russian fascist invaders in occupied Crimea. Able to strike targets almost at will, Ukrainian defenders hit two enemy helicopters and a patrol boat. The morning report from the Armed Forces of Ukraine indicates one helicopter destroyed.
The Soviet Union was a criminal totalitarian regime responsible for carrying out genocide, starting World War II, and bringing misery to hundreds of millions of people in a reign of terror that lasted three quarters of a century. The Allies defeated the Nazis.
Russian tanks are a rare sight on the battlefield. Ukrainian defenders have destroyed 11,155 of them since the broad offensive began in 2022. Nevertheless, drone operators from the “Wings of Hell” group found and destroyed this well-camouflaged invader tank.
On this day 86 years ago Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 17 days afterwards its ally, the Soviet Union, invaded Poland. Because only one of the aggressors was defeated the underlying causes of World War II were never addressed. That is why World War III, Russia’s War, rages today.

Ukraine carried out the first successful combat trial of its new Flamingo cruise missile. Ukrainian forces struck an FSB outpost and patrol boats near Armyansk in temporarily-occupied Crimea. Three Flamingo missiles were launched in a combined attack on August 30.

You can see memorials like this one in towns and villages throughout Ukraine. They are to citizen-soldiers who gave their lives defending their homes and families from the foreign invaders, the Moscovites.
The price-performance ratio of Ukrainian-made armaments beats every other exporter and they have been tested in battle against the russian fascist invaders. U.S.-made weapons are too expensive and come from an untrustworthy regime that is no longer an ally to any country.

The summer offensive by the russian fascist invaders has ended in almost nothing. The rashists failed to gain full control over any major city of Ukraine. The only lasting result for the aggressors is the loss of over 291,000 soldiers killed or wounded this year.
The Shanghai Cooperation Organization is meeting in China. Terrorist leader Putin is attending. Any organization with the russian terrorist state as a member is corrupt to the core.
The foreign minister of Hungary, Péter Szijjártó, is an anti-Ukrainian fanatic and recipient of a Friendship Medal from the russian terrorist state. The failure of the EU to expel or suspend Hungary, a russian client state, brings into doubt its viability and reason for being.
Ukraine shows a video of the launch of the domestically-designed and produced Flamingo ground-launched cruise missile. When the United States and Germany cower in fear and refuse to provide Tomahawk and Taurus cruise missiles, this is how Ukraine stands up to the enemy.
There were 182 combat engagements with the russian fascist invaders yesterday, August 30. The vanguard of the West, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, hold back this relentless onslaught with courage and resolve. Our defenders inflict significant damage on the enemy.

The leader of the Free World is Ukraine: our only fighting defender from the Russia-North Korea-Iran-China axis of nihilism.
Russia's war is Trump's war. 100%. This is my tweet from eight years ago, when Trump occupied the White House. Russia had invaded Ukraine, was invading Ukraine, and continued to invade Ukraine. Trump did nothing to stop it because he is a Russian asset and traitor to the USA.
Two weeks ago Putin the Poisoner shook Trump’s hand in Alaska.
From the very beginning of Russia’s Trump-for-President active measure I have said that Putin chose Trump to rule the United States because both men are nihilists. Nihilism is the doctrine that nothing is of any value – there are no limits or meaning-giving horizons to anything.
Did Putin or a look-alike show up in Alaska? Is Trump dying or dead? We don’t know. It’s a Kremlinesque guessing game. Russia and its proxy, the United States, are the same: both are authoritarian banana-republics where truth and falsehood have lost meaning.
Always, Trump refuses to tell invader Russia to get out of Ukraine. Trump refuses to back defender Ukraine’s victory – the only way the war is going to end. A Russian asset, Trump has made the U.S. an ally of fascist Russia and escalated the war into WWIII.
Andriy Parubiy, a Ukrainian patriot and former Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, was assassinated in Lviv.
Last night the Polish Air Force scrambled as russian terrorists conducted a massive aerial attack in Europe. The question is: why? Poland has no intention of shooting down russian air targets whether they are in Ukrainian or Polish airspace. No NATO forces will defend Europe.
When the United States invades Canada, it is certain the Americans will disable advanced U.S.-built weapons in the hands of the Canadian Armed Forces. Canada and other democratic countries are insane to buy weapons from the Americans now.
On the night of August 29-30, russian terrorists attacked Ukraine with 582 cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and strike UAVs. Ukrainian defenders shot down or suppressed 548 air targets. 29 hits at seven locations were recorded. Debris fell at 21 locations.
The Internet after an ailing Trump was shown with bruising on his hand from intravenous injections: Trump is dying. The Internet after Trump’s non-appearance for the last three days: Trump is dead. The docile American press: no questions; no reporting. Very Kremlin-like …
Ukrainian forces hit the Krasnodarsky oil refinery in Krasnodar Krai on the territory of the russian fascist invaders. Numerous explosions and fires were recorded. The defenders repeatedly struck the “Syzransky” oil refinery in the Samara region of the russian terrorist state.

Denmark puts serious money into the Ukrainian defence industry, producing arms that stop and will ultimately defeat the russian fascist invaders. The pro-russia Trump regime extorts money from Ukraine to buy American weapons with use restrictions that render them useless.
Trump is an imbecile chosen by fools. Trump is a traitor chosen by those who lack a true love of country. Trump is an amoral monster chosen by those who don’t know right from wrong. Trump is a liar chosen by those who don’t know what’s real and what’s false. The USA is lost.
Politicians and bureaucrats in every Western democracy except Ukraine are cowards. They are trained to be cowards and rewarded in their careers for being cowards. The maxims are: avoid risk at all costs; when in doubt, do nothing. This is the fatal flaw fascist Russia exploits.

Air raid sirens are going off where I am in Ukraine, just as people are ready for bed. God damn Russians. Damn them all to Hell.
Trump could end the war easily by arming Ukrainian defenders for victory and sanctioning Russian invaders back to the Stone Age. Trump chooses to side with the aggressors and thereby escalates, extends and expands Russia’s war. Trump does this because he is Putin’s slave.
Putin and Trump are hunting humans in Ukraine with attack UAVs at this hour. This is the current aerial threat alert map.
Canada’s greatest strength in the coming conflict is the unity of its people and their willingness to make sacrifices for the greater good. Canada’s greatest weakness is institutional cowardice. Out of fear, politicians, bureaucrats and the military avoid risk and refuse to act.
Canada must plan for the worst to hope for the best. The worst is that the United States invades Canada and Canada has to defend itself without fighting allies. This is exactly the situation with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – and the Trump regime is a copy of the Putin regime.
Canada’s national defence policy should rest on three pillars: 1. Russia is at war with the West, including Canada 2. Trump is a Russian asset 3. Trump does not rule out the use of force in his annexationist threats against Canada; the United States is a hostile regime
Trump is a Russian asset. I first started talking about this plainly obvious fact 10 years ago, on August 1, 2015. It is gratifying to see Portugal’s president agrees with me. All security policy in democratic countries should be based on the knowledge Trump is a Russian asset.
The pro-Russia Trump regime defends terrorist attacks on Ukraine. It is the only consistent policy in its chaotic rule.
Today is the 11th anniversary of the Battle of Ilovays’k, a key battle in fascist Russia’s invasion on Ukraine. Culminating on August 29, 2014, the rashists agreed to a ceasefire and a “safe corridor.” They then massacred well over 300 Ukrainian defenders.
Only when the Moscow invaders are utterly defeated and all occupied territories are liberated can the war end. Only when the Moscow empire is utterly destroyed and dozens of nation-states emerge from the ruins can there be peace.
The Trump regime refuses to blame Russia for attacks by Russia on Kyiv that killed 23 people, damaged the EU diplomatic mission, and damaged the British Council office. The whole world knows Russia is a terrorist state and Trump is a loathsome creature of the dictator Putin.

Ukraine has always been a democracy or a nation whose fiery democratic spirit was violently suppressed by foreign occupiers. Russia has never been a democracy and always an aggressive empire. To suppose that will change with the death of Putin is magical thinking.
In response to the attack on Kyiv, a leader who is strong, courageous, decisive, moral and wise would act to stop the russian terrorists. No one in power comes close on these essential qualities of leadership. Putin puppet Trump is the opposite of them.

The United States under the Trump regime doesn’t stand behind Article 5 guarantees laid out in the North Atlantic Treaty. No country is going to follow through on “Article 5-like” guarantees to Ukraine. Only Ukraine’s victory and Russia’s total defeat will end the war.

Last night, the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck the Kuybyshev and Afipsky oil refineries on the territory of the russian terrorist state. These strategic facilities appear to be defended with small arms only. The ability of russian terrorists to wage war is being diminished.
The United States under the Trump regime is an ally of the russian terrorist state and bears responsibility for attacks carried out against civilians in Ukraine last night.
