How Estonians are managing the threat of a Russian invasion.
Despite Finland's warnings that Russia could invade Scandinavia and the Baltic states, Estonians don't want to live in fear — even if some are preparing themselves for the worst.
Only Ukraine Defends the West
Russia is at war with Western civilization. Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 and #Ukraine in 2014. Russia carried out successful hybrid warfare operations against the United Kingdom (Brexit) and the United States (Trump-for-President) in 2016. Only #Ukraine defends the West.
President Zelenskyy: "We will not give our land to the occupants"
The Ukrainian president has once again firmly stated his position: there will be no renunciation of Ukrainian territories for the sake of "peace".
"Only with Ukraine can the security of democratic countries be guaranteed," Pres. Zelenskyy said at events for the Day of the State Flag of Ukraine.
This is a direct signal to moscow and those in the world who continue to push Kyiv to make concessions to invader war criminals.

They raped children together.

Moscow regales in Putin's triumph over Trump in Anchorage
It wasn’t a summit, it wasn’t diplomacy, and it sure as hell wasn’t leadership. It was Donnie's capitulation to a wanted war criminal. It was a spectacle. It was a humiliation. A freak show of power inverted — the President of the United States turned into a clapping seal, for the mass murderer child kidnapper.
On the night of August 21, Russia attacked Ukraine with 614 aerial weapons, Shahed drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles.
In Lviv, people killed, at least three were injured; homes, vehicles were damaged. In Zakarpattia region, Russia’s strike injured 16 people. Attacks hit the Dnipro region, persons injured and enterprises and a gas pipeline were damaged. Strike on Zaporizhzhia damaged industrial sites and homes.
To strike an American-owned factory Putin used several cruise missiles. This was a civilian enterprise with U.S. investment. Earlier this year, Russia struck Boeing offices in Kyiv.
Russia’s airstrikes have no military logic – only terror against civilians, businesses, and normal life. Bilateral Ukraine-Russia and trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks are crucial for diplomacy to work, as well as reliable security guarantees from the U.S. and European allies. Strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses remains urgent to stop Russia’s attacks.
Day 1,275 of Putin's daily mass murders of peaceful Ukrainians.
546 drones and 31 missiles were deployed by Russian forces against Ukraine overnight.
Explosions were heard in multiple regions.
You can guarantee that Putin has the #Epstein files because he's had Donald Epstein by the balls for years.
Putin to Trump:
Stop sending aid to Ukraine.
Stop sending weapons to Ukraine.
Veto Russian sanctions.
Tell everyone that Ukraine started the war.
Invite wanted war criminal mass murderer child kidnapper to secure military base on US soil.
Humiliate Americans.
Act as if head of failed mafia state is equal to the only Superpower.
Meet with putin in secret one on one.
Call me to report all Ukraine and EU plans and demands.
100% putin has the Epstein files.

Rachel Maddow looks at how readily Donald Trump abandoned his negotiating positions in his meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and compares the effusive, adulatory greeting Trump gave Putin, to the considerably less enthusiastic greeting actual U.S. allies from Europe were met with. Michael McFaul, former U.S. ambassador to Russia speculates that the Alaska meeting may have been the most disastrous in U.S. history.
This was a disastrous meeting with Putin. Trump got no peace agreement. Putin got a great flyover, humiliation of Americans, tons of intelligence on our bases and a private meeting with the U.S. ciminal
Disastrous Trump is “transactional, theatrical, and superficial.” Ret. Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, US Army, joins Katie Phang to provide the necessary military insight into the latest summits by and between Putin, Trump, and Pres. Zelenskyy, including how Trump has legitimized Putin and embarrassed the US military. The U.S. criminal SHAMED by Military LEADER After PATHETIC Putin SHOW.
Putin can end the war in Ukraine almost immediately by leaving Ukrainian land.
After a day of intense vulgar capitulation calling the child kidnapper mass murderer, the U.S. Criminal said America would help arrange #European security guarantees for Ukraine if peace could be agreed with moscow, but stopped short of a commitment of military support for Ukraine
So...nothing at all is guaranteed. "Arranged?" what does that mean. If no MILITARY support, how can there be a security guarantee? And #Ukraine already had a security guarantee with the U.S. but the U.S. failed to uphold it.
