Amb Pifer noted that 🇷🇺 committed “to respect Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence and not use or threaten to use force against Ukraine.” Why would anyone trust 🇷🇺 in new negotiations? What could 🇷🇺 possibly offer that 🇷🇺 hasn’t already breached ?
28 years ago today, as part of arrangements to eliminate former-Soviet nuclear weapons in #Ukraine, #Russia committed in Budapest Memorandum to respect Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence and not use or threaten to use force against Ukraine.

Ukraine was winning the war, so Trump kneecapped Ukraine to help Russia. I wish it weren’t that simple, but it is. Our president is in bed with our enemies.

JUST IN: The Trump administration is delaying the transfer of Patriot interceptor missiles Ukraine needs to defend against Russian missile and drone attacks, officials said Monday. Some of the missiles are coming from countries friendly to Ukraine, but Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth must approve the transfers. A Ukrainian official told The Washington Post last week that “only a couple” of interceptor missiles remain in Ukraine’s stockpile.

Trump is VERY WEAK on Putin. And VERY WEAK on Ukraine and democracy. Americans want better. Americans stand for Freedom. We oppose the dictator and hate the war criminal.

I'm definitely not anti-achievement and never criticized real achievements, including by Elon. I even own two Teslas. I do expose marketing stunts that, while cool on the surface, are not the achievements they are claimed to be. Compressed air thrusters might give you acceleration boosts in any direction. They might even make your car hover for a couple of seconds if you accept replacing the passenger seat by a 400 liter high-pressure air tank. But they are not a path to actual flying cars. The same way Burt Rutan's SpaceshipOne was never going to be a path to orbital flights (just bunny hops out of the atmosphere). I am anti-Musk when it comes to politics. His political actions, the massive dissemination of disinformation through X and other channels, and his support for authoritarian regimes and racist ideas have the effect of weakening democracy and weakening human decency and social progress around the world.

russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down. One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones. russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate. The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided. The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia. As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

Recent reports on Starshield satellite communication disruptions in Ukraine raise serious concerns and must be investigated.   I joined @SenatorShaheen, @SenThomTillis, and six of our Senate colleagues in calling for the @DeptofWar Inspector General to determine what happened with this critical capability and protect American personnel. It remains in our national interest to help Ukraine defend itself from Putin’s aggression.

Now, how do you convince the public to support Russia instead of Ukraine when there are hundreds of videos showing Russian missiles killing Ukrainian women and children? Simple. Make Ukraine the bad guy. Say Ukraine is prolonging the war. Say Russia just wants to help the world by supplying energy. Say Ukraine's leadership is the villain. And hope people forget who is actually firing the missiles.

Another moment in which JD Vance is most proud.
A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children. I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

We were the good guys against the Axis of Evil about a hundred years ago looks like we're gonna join the New Axis this time around which is completely fucked up
The WSJ reports that Putin proposed a meeting with Trump and China’s Xi Jinping during an October 9 phone call, to discuss ending the war in Ukraine on terms favoring Moscow. President Zelensky and European leaders would be excluded from the talks.

Disruptions to critical U.S. satellite systems left Ukrainians vulnerable to Russian attacks. Orders to limit Starshield came from the White House according to reports, and the President needs to explain why. Trump is shamefully abandoning our allies to cozy up to dictators like Putin. ms.now/news/democrats-trump-…

WSJ Editorial Board: “Congress is preoccupied with the Nov. 3 election, but Mr. Trump may not appreciate the anger he’s courting if he keeps aiding Mr. Putin. When the election is over there needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for Mr. Trump’s budding alliance with the Kremlin against Ukraine, Europe and American interests” wsj.com/opinion/to-russia-wi…

I will be speaking with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his team this week to discuss Starshield, sanctions, and other matters pertaining to the defense of our strong ally, Ukraine. I will be assuring President Zelenskyy that anyone who attempts to limit the use of Starshield for Ukraine will be fully investigated and will be held fully accountable, to include public congressional oversight hearings, and immediate harsh and punitive budget cuts to any responsible agency or agency head. Congress will unequivocally reaffirm that Ukraine is an indispensable ally to the United States, that Russia is a self-declared enemy of the United States, and that the United States will 100% support and defend the people of Ukraine in their fight for their own freedom against this brutal, illegal, and unprovoked Russian invasion. The United States must provide any and all defensive equipment that Ukraine needs to defend itself. The United States must not import a single drop of Russian oil. Sanctions against the Russian regime must be harsher and stronger than they’ve ever been before. Each and every one of these items will be brought to the House Floor—and each and every one of these items will pass on the House Floor by an overwhelming margin. This is, after all, what Ronald Reagan would do. And this is what we will do now. Ukraine can, and will, defeat Russia. #PeaceThroughStrength

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales that Americans told themselves, like ghost stories around a campfire." @RadioFreeTom: theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…

A KGB agent who defected once said that russia's strategy was to drive wedges in the west. Any wedges, between any groups of people they could. If you're driving wedges between Ukraine supporters, Putin Thanks you for your service.

I agree. Unfortunately our President has picked the “evil aggressor.” Reagan and Eisenhower are rolling in their graves.
Russia/Ukraine is not a “both sides” moral equivalence thing. One side is the evil aggressor. The other side is defending their sovereign homeland.

Withholding force pro intel again? Is the US now even more complicit in Ukrainian deaths? R we putting US embassy personnel and American citizens at risk? WTF r we doing? This is madness. Need answers.

Too clever by half. He correctly notes that Ukraine cannot give up its fortress belt because that'd give the Russians a "straight shot into Kyiv." Yet he insists the war is just about 11% of territory. No, the lie is in his explanation: Putin wants the 11% at the negotiating table because he cannot take it on the battlefield; and he wants it because it gives him another opportunity to make a play for Kyiv at a later date. The Russians don't want to end the war, they want the U.S. to create the more amenable conditions for the continuation of the war in future. The tragedy of Rubio is that he's in better command of the facts than anyone else in this administration but he nonetheless ends up acting a mouthpiece for policies he knows are wrong.
Rubio: The war in Ukraine is about one region, Donetsk. Russia occupies all but about 11% of it. Ukraine's line there is its last defensible one: beyond it, a straight shot into Kyiv. Russia demands all of Donetsk, including that line, as its definition of victory. 1/

Most Americans wants answers on who made the order to throttle back Starlink and intel sharing. And we want them out of the government.
