Outrageous nonsense. It will never happen in a thousand years

Honestly, tell me again about that flying f***ing car while pictures of dead kids fill my TL.
Incredible scoop by my @WSJ colleagues: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a military-grade version of Starlink relied on by Ukraine, a decision that sparked panic in Kyiv and confusion inside the Trump administration. wsj.com/world/ukraine-starli…

These are not transfers from the US, but from other countries. The US is now actively sabotaging Ukrainian defense of civilians.
Breaking news: The Trump administration has not approved the transfer of interceptor missiles to Ukraine that are needed to protect the country from Russian attacks, officials said, a delay that comes as President Trump has embraced Russia in recent weeks. wapo.st/4yCb7T7

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy.

Ukraine's Starshield terminals still don't work properly, President Zelensky confirms, disabling Ukrainian interceptors used to shoot down Russian jet-powered drones that have been hitting civilian targets in recent weeks.

Latest: Zelenskyy tells reporters over WhatsApp that restrictions on Ukraine's Starlink systems remain. Interceptor drones can't function, logistics and operations hobbled. The maximum speed is 161 kph; "exceeding this limit causes the Starlink connection to cut out completely, resulting in the loss of the drone."
He says Ukraine has done tests to determine whether SpaceX is truly facing technical issues, as has been told Kyiv by the US side, or if this is a "deliberate operation... to restrict us, cut us off, and prevent us from defending ourselves and protecting our people, both at the front and among the civilian population."
He says Ukraine "sent a couple of vehicles equipped with Starlink terminals into European Union territory."
"They moved at speeds exceeding 180kph, and the Starlink systems worked perfectly. We have the relevant logs and evidence to prove this."
He adds: "The conclusion is clear: the restrictions are in effect within Ukraine but do not apply within the European Union. In other words, this is a planned operation."

The Russians know that Trump is their ally. The author of the tweet below is the Russian special envoy who repeatedly met with Kushner and Witkoff in Miami in 2025 and 2026.

Russia is reportedly planning to assassinate European defence bosses who supply Ukraine. I asked two former senior CSIS operatives if the same is likely to hold true in Canada.

Putin’s theory of victory depends on dividing Europe.

Do something.
Twelve US senators have sent an open letter to Donald Trump demanding the cancellation of the diesel deal with the Russian Federation. The signatories include six Republicans and six Democrats. They called the agreement a "betrayal of US allies" and stated that it "will not only fail to achieve its goals, but will also bring no benefit to the American people."

Meloni: I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European nation and Soviet-style imperialism would return.
Surrender is not peace. It is conquest. 1/

Hey, @elonmusk, big man, are you playing politics with your products again?
As your European customers, we are watching you.
⚡️ 'This cannot be a coincidence' — Ukraine's Starlink access restricted without warning, Zelensky adviser says.
Ukraine relies on Starlink to operate its mid-strike drones in Russian-occupied Ukraine.

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?

Putin will push - probably soon - for a real test of Article 5 of NATO. High noon for America’s place in the world is coming.
FT exclusive: before Trump suddenly announced an energy ceasefire between Russia & Ukraine today (catching Zelenskyy by surprise, & possibly also Putin…), US officials had spent the weekend calling European capitals & threatening to stop Europeans from purchasing U.S. weapons for Ukraine if Kyiv didn’t stop its attacks on Russian oil refineries, European & Ukrainian officials tell my colleagues @ChristopherJM & @HenryJFoy as.ft.com/r/bb0690f1-5690-45…

President Trump’s decision to lift sanctions on Russian fuel amidst Putin’s ongoing and brutal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine makes no sense and is a betrayal of the legacy and leadership of the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
While Ukraine fights for its survival, Putin’s war machine continues to prosecute his terrorist war on civilian populations and innocent Ukrainians are dying every day.
Now, Instead of implementing the tough sanctions Lindsey Graham fought to his last breath to enact, President Trump has announced the United States is lifting sanctions on Russian energy, fueling the Putin’s war machine.
As I saw firsthand in Ukraine last month, Putin is losing this war. Ukraine has fought the Russian military to a standstill and reinvented warfare with drones taking the fight into the heart of Russia.
America should not be throwing a lifeline to Putin’s war machine. Now is the time to stand strong against Russian aggression as we did during the first Trump administration.
Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. I have no doubt that if Putin overruns Ukraine, it will only be a matter of time until Russia’s military crosses a border that our troops will have to deal with him.
America is the Leader of the Free World. For our National Security, for the security of our Allies in Europe including Ukraine, President Trump should rescind this deal immediately and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.
