A brutal portrait of russian terror — and the free world's failure to uphold its own principles.
Six murdered including a 6yo child. More than 50 injured. Many still trapped under the rubble. It's Kyiv, the capital of the European state.

Dems fall in love and Repubs fall in line, no more evident than with Trump, let’s make sure our next major political party dosent follow this authoritarian mantra, please

america is the greatest threat to the world. They pick and choose which countries they’ll support based on oil and minerals. Countries are starting to realize this. america financially, and with its military complex, support an israeli genocidal nation that is looking a lot like nazi germany.

Just heinous! Re-"thug"licans have so much blood on their hands for allowing "der fuhrer" tRUMP to cut funding.
-
TACO has blood on his hands for a long time.

All retrumplikkkans do is sit back, tell the POS in the white house he's a king and collect their paychecks, medical insurance, and then their government pensions. They DO NOT WORK FOR THE PEOPLE.
-
Ukranians aren't gonna like the way this turns out. Being a proxy for US led western "interests" never ends well for the proxy.
-
Subservience to Trump and/or White Christian Nationalism is also apparently more important than raising even the slightest objections to Israel committing genocide in Gaza and murder and displacement in the West Bank.

All republicans of the 119th Congress will go down in the history books as the cowards they truly all are.

Republicans only look out for themselves.
The rest of us mean nothing to them.

I hope there is a record kept of all the people who bent the knee to him because one day when they seek to whitewash their behaviour, they should be held to account.
-
They will lose their cushy jobs over their kissing the ring on this and many other issues. I'll bet on it.
-
Trump is as far up Putin's ass as the Republicans are up Donny's. What a wonderful world . Can't wait for the Republicans who are doing nothing to explain their actions once Donny is no longer in power
-
Lord of the Highest Order of Cheetosness, if you want a peace prize so badly, just award yourself one.
That’s how it works in Trump Fantasy Land (TFL). In TFL NOTHING has 0.00001% of honesty to it anyway.
Don’t forget the hilarious WH press release when you do. We all need one good laugh a day.
-
The withholding of U.S. weaponry and supplies by Trump and his band of miscreants is his severely misguided and malicious attempt to get himself a Nobel peace prize. He wants to ride in on his gold plated tricycle propelled by his own methane gases and say he negotiated peace.
-
And of course he’s gonna act like the fact that he’s only NOW threatening them with sanctions means he was never Putin’s puppet which he has always been
-
YES! The Rethugs and Trump have massive amounts of blood on their hands! Too much to even calculate!
-
donnie will cave to the russians because he's thinking this
-
Ukraine started this proxy war for the US and UK way back in 2014, what are you on about
-
I would hope most people by now know that republicans are the enemy of the state. It used to be political differences but now it is truly an enemy of democracy.
-
No doubt Russia is pretty evil, but Trump is trying hard to top Russia. He hates to lose a contest.
-
🙏☮️🇺🇦❤️😢

-
Because of this...and all of those lovely, lovely Russian-funded NRA conventions, which, much to their chagrin, politicians found that what happened in Las Vegas, didn't stay in Las Vegas.
-
It's even worse than that. If the cult turned on Trump fully tomorrow, they'd turn on him too. Fund Ukraine, kick out the idiots in the cabinet, maybe even look at getting rid of Bove since even they know he's a mistake.
They put their own jobs ahead of people being slaughtered.
-
There is the Agent Krasnov factor, though I have to say trying to reconcile Putin aims/demands with TACO behaviour is like trying to understand TACO. Its like trying to nail jelly to a plate. If he implements tariffs it hurts Russia, but if TACO seizes absolute power then Ukraine + Europe v world.
-
That would be askin them to take the money meant to build their ballroom George , another askin turkeys to vote for thanksgivin scenerio
-
Republicans could stop all of it, including the complete takeover of our country. But they won’t.
-
In the meantime, Leavitt is calling for Peace Prize because he has stopped a conflict per month of this term. Still don’t know which one, where has resolved.
-
Mainly they are afraid of losing their cushy position and having to work like the rest of us!
-
It must kill all of you to know the part you had in make this moment a reality. Never in your wildest dreams did you imagine an antichrist taking over your party.
The politics practiced against the Clintons hurt all Americans. We are here now because of that.
-
Its no coincidence to me that all this is happening with less than 1% of the ww2 golden generation vets still with us. The Republicans in congress are a disgrace to their Fathers and Grandfather's Legacy.
-
There was (and still is) a perception management campaign aimed at right-wingers to convince them that saying 'no' to Putin would be the equivalent of a nuclear war with Russia.
-
They won’t stop this because more than likely their name is on the list and he’s holding that over them
-
-
They could have helped to make Trump's "I will end this war in 24 hours" become true. They didn't. They failed their master, and now he won't get his Nobel Peace Prize.
-
-
Ukraine should tell the US weapons will only be used to kill starving brown children in the middle east and they could have everything in our arsenal.
-
Scum of the earth one and all.
-
And on the other hand we are supplying arms to the Israel govt.
-
Sadly rethuglicans in congress are the new Nazis.
-
We give the maga ape far too much credit.
The maga ape is a dirty, ignorant, uneducated, unsophisticated, unEvolved, primitive racist misogynist who is always angry at the clean world.
Fuck the maga apes!
I am so done with those whites!!!
-
Stuart Stevens is the most respected Never Trump republican because he doent assume Trump just walked in, he takes personal responsibility that his Republican Party created this mess with their attitude, marketing and policy.
-
They could, but they won't. Because they are scared of Krasnov. The mistake Biden made was not giving Ukraine everything it wanted right away. At this point, the gloves should be off and give Ukraine whatever they ask for and let the chips fall where they may.
-
Our generation’s shame.
-
While the European Union (EU) does not have an official capital, Brussels is widely considered the de facto capital of Europe
-
I don’t believe “most would like to do so”’for one minute.
-
But when Israel commits the same and worse atrocities, they're an indispensable, valued ally.
-
Let’s NOT copy and paste the Russian federation model of oligarchs.
-
History will treat these party over country Republican cowards in Congress almost as harshly as that big orange turd in the White House who from the very beginning has been on Russia's side as it decimated Ukraine's infrastructure and murdered over 100,000 military members and civilians! Disgusting!
-
Russia is a terrorist state and Republicans are supporting them.
-
-
-
They are all cowards.
-
Why though? This is what we need to figure out. Why are they so scared of this man?
-
-
Yet America signed paperwork and promised Ukraine -in exchange for their nuclear weapons, we would offer them protection. The agreements of the past mean nothing when they are made with transgressors and untrustworthy parties 👇👇👇
-
Republicans confirmed Russia’s girlfriend as DNI and Hogslut as Defense Secretary. At what point does anyone think Republicans care about national security. These are the same people who took a long summer vacation to protect a pedophile.
-
Time for all those who oppose the Trump Regime of Tyranny to start to work together. First big nationwide step, take back the House, and possibly the Senate, from the Trump ass kissing, knee bending, MAGA Cult members. California, the time to start redistricting was yesterday.
-
The only difference between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler is that Hitler knew when to kill himself
-
Republicans could stop this. Full stop
All of this madness Republicans could stop. But they won't
-
I don't buy the line that Republicans are afraid of Conald now. They had a chance to completely turn away from him after January 6th and didn't and now do everything they can to bow down to him. They'll never get his smell off. Never vote for them again.
-
Republican Congress have no regard for the living.
-
Whenever Trump has had a chance to manage and quell chaos, he has only made the situation worse. COVID, Gaza, Ukraine, ICE... unbroken track record of confusion, terrible decisions, suffering and death. WHY is the GOP in thrall to this...unless they want the same outcomes?
-
Accurate assessment. #GOP have given the keys to the Kingdom to #KrasnovAtWork
-
Ukraine naively gave up its nuclear deterrent guaranteeing it protection against a Russian invasion. Not rumours or hyperbole A SIGNED AGREEMENT by the US, UK France, Russia and China (a separate document)
Aid is not charity. It's a contractual obligation.
-
Give him hell George. Trump will never come to the aid of Ukraine or take any action to damage Putin.
-
When the amount is large enough, no one questions why there is blood on the money.

Blame the fat ass orange PIG for this atrocity😡😡😡😡😡 HE has blood on his hands🤬🤬🤬
-
He just doesn’t care what anyone says. He knows no one’s going to ever back up Hollow words with any action. Same in Gaza. Just empty words. It’s like the kid who says “ you’re lucky I didn’t kick your ass. You say ok let’s go and he quickly walks away “ empty words don’t save a single life!

I guess their spouses don't mind they're protecting a pedophile. I'm sure most of those GOPers in Congress have kids. Why don't they want to protect them?
(We should ask GOPers' wives and husbands if they also support pedophiles, starting with Mike Johnson's.)
-
Ukraine offered $50 BILLION DOLLARS CASH for a massive arms deal from the US. No loans, no charity.
Remember when Trump in his first term raved on about how great the $1 B arms deal with the Saudis was in his first term?
Anyway, Trump refused the deal. Didn’t give a reason.
Trump is a traitor.
-
To be fair, there is also a legit concern among many Dems, and within the Or Tavon itself, that certain kinds and levels of escalation, are not without serious risks. But yes, Trump Admin and his GOP lackeys are a disgrace. No debate there.
-
Trump is beholding to Putin. Figure out the reason. Financially beholden and under kompromat.
-
The greatest evil since Nazi Germany is the Republican party.
-
-
The MAGA Congress all must like the blood on their hands!
They sure enjoyed their second goal of genocide in Gaza, with their criminal rapist and felon, the orange sludge, siding with the Israeli convicted criminal has already been charged with genocide!
-
Republicans in Congress could stop this. But whether "most would like to do so" is irrelevant. They won't. They're too cowardly, craven, venal, stupid, & sycophantic. They took an oath to protect & defend our Constitution & our country, but daily they betray oath, Constitution & country.
-
💯
-
Why do we assume that members of the GOP are not in agreement w Trump? That they are somehow scared or duped? He gives them cover. He gives them a vessel to realize their own hate and bigotry-they are him. The sooner we understand that truth the sooner we w be ready to fight tyranny.
-
They are slaves to Putin's pet Rapist.
-
#Nuremberg. #Gallows.
-
I hope they have moments of extreme clarity when they realize no amount of money made now will alleviate their grandchildren's embarrassment of their legacy. They are on the wrong side of history. They oppose morality and humanity with their fealty to a false, gold-painted lord over decency.
-
Stop drinking Kiev koolaid. Makes you look stoopid.
-
Absolutely disgusting and history will not kind to all the republicans.
-
Trump is chomping at the bit for his cut of the minerals and metals Putin is sitting in in Eastern Ukraine. It’s always about $$$$
-
I just don't understand it. Why are they afraid of Trump? What do they think he could do to them? I wish the GOP would grow some balls and do the right thing for once.
-
I do not know how they can sleep at night. They have sold all their empathy and human dignity to the orange felon. I know I could not live w myself or sleep at night if I was so compromised 😡
-
Yep. Perfectly said.

Motherfuck felon 47 and Vladshart!

Shame on them.

Republicans won’t stop him. They’re profiting financially under him. Just read the headlines about republican youth pastors, politicians and party pundits arrested for assaulting children, child pornography. They protect their own. They prove it every day
-
Here’s a war Trump that could stop that’s not imaginary
-
-
As evidenced by HR 1 (Big ugly bill) there is no longer a Republican party only MAGA ruled by fear, intimidation, retribution and abject cruelty. All presented in excruciating detail in project 2025. We all need to lower our expectations of the former GOP.
-
Stuart did a really moving and thoughtful solo podcast on Lincoln Square yesterday that I encourage everyone listen to.
-
Someone needs to tell #StuartStevens to stop saying, of GOP “most would like to do so” in terms of stopping the bombardment of Ukraine
It’s a lie. Anyone sticking up for the GOP is now GOP
They lie. If they would like to to stop it do it - save Ukraine, then do it
GOP are lying cowards. Period.
-
The Greatest enemy since Hitler in Germany is Trump.
Our President is using the Nazi playbook. His accomplices in Congress are letting him proceed. Because it’s what they want.
Our rights and freedoms stripped. Hate and racism is acceptable behavior. Misogyny is the norm.
Trump is our Hitler!
-
Why don't they? Because they too are part of the greatest evil since Nazi Germany.

Dear God. Have mercy and wake up the GOP

There have not been nearly enough Luigis.
Even the Manhattan shooter was going after people who make millions off others' blood.
-
Not really. NATO CREEP started under B 2. Firmed and sprawled under Obama. US urged Oligarchs to overthrow a duly elected government by Ukrainian in 2014. Why? This government wanted neutrality and relations w Russia. Biden urged Little Z. not to negotiate w Russia to cover for Afghanistan mess.
-
Aren't you lucky you've never heard of Gaza.
-
Funny that no one thinks the whole GOP is compromised and all influenced by Russia ( not just Trump )
-
😔😔😔
-
Because they are Nazis. You have the Gestapo running round the streets kidnapping and battering people. America is also turning into a corrupt shithole, like Russia. Look at Occupied Donetsk, they have no water as the Russians are so corrupt.
-
A pox on all those so-called smart journalists that believed, for months and months, that trump had Ukraine's best interests at heart. During that time his delays on providing arms to Ukraine prove he was a co-conspirator with Putin.
-
A heartbreaking outrage! That Congress doesn’t aggressively act is not just shameful for this conflict but so shortsighted to lickPutin’s boots.We can’t support peace, have healthcare, clean air/water/land/fd bc dump wants a grotesque $200m+ ballroom + 1B redone bordello airplane? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

-
All fascist regimes from empires to totalitarian states fail. It’s not a sustainable way of living. Only democratic societies manage to live the longest. Read The Atlantic piece on Luke Kemp’s book, Goliath’s Curse. It’s a wake up call for not just the USA but the world. Some scary history stuff.
-
There are two wars of genocide taking place at the moment and in both cases the USA is on the side of the people committing genocide.
-
It is murder and genocide not war. America now supports the communist fascist regime that is Putin. VOTE.
-
Every American who voted for Trump is complicit. It was no secret to anyone with a brain that he would abandon the people of Ukraine.
-
Since we’re living under an imperial presidency,Trump would just once again sideline congress and not to send weapons. He has already launched attacks without explicit congressional authorization.
-
#RussianWarCrimes
-
Imagine bowing to what amounts to a giant bowel movement?
-
Trump is not the only one to blame in this. Congressional republicans could stop all of this immediately. They are too busy worshiping at the feet of their rapist god.
-
Republicans aren’t stopping the genocide in Gaza either.
Giving china the freedom to attack Taiwan knowing Trump won’t do jack shit about it.
-
Well, George, you know all those years that the NRA was giving millions in donations to Members of the U.S. Congress and Senate? See, they were just pass the money along from Puting, to invest in all those Republicans, so that they would be behooven to Vlad in the future.
-
He is an evil man, a man who doesn't care about people, except perhaps to hurt them.
Does this refer to Vladimir Putin or Donald Trump?
YES
-
Just for the record the greatest evil since the Nazi regime is the United States Of The Terrorists, I mean America, who have illegally invaded 60 countries since WWII resulting in the slaughter of over 12 million human beings. In that same time Russia has invaded 5 which is still 5 too many !!!
-
-
The greatest evil since Nazi Germany is in the White House rn. Just saying.
-
Horror. In a world of horror.
-
Not to forget the US funded genocide in Gaza
-
We can criticize the US for delaying their involvement in WWII until after the attack at Pearl Harbor, but once in, they were committed until the end. This dilly-dallying of support for Ukraine is unconscionable.
Does the US support Ukraine? If so, then help them and their allies bring peace!
-
Hopefully Zelensky will triumph eventually despite the cowardice of American republicans.
-
Let's help Ukraine finish this war and put Putin in his place!
-
Unalived Putin
-
The @GOP can't stop what's happening bc they are locked in "group think" mode. Nothing good happens when a segment of people are locked into this thinking. Shameful as it is.. the rest of us have to suffer until they grow a pair and snap out of it.
-
Their consciences are seared as if with a hot iron
-
Strange how democrats could have stopped it during the 2 1/2 years biden was in office. Even stranger, obama gave away the Crimea without even a whimper.
-
We are going to have to fight Putin eventually. Let’s do it know when they have been hugely weakened by the Ukrainians. Over a million Russian military killed or disabled, huge losses in materiel. Trumputin is doing his best to destroy Ukraine because Poo Tin likely has the child rape goods on him.
-
😡😢
-
My dad (in profile pic) fought Nazis during WWII. Army medic and I can't even begin to imagine what he and his generation would be thinking right now.
-
Fight to stop them, and never let any of them off the hook, pursue every last one to the ends of the earth like the fascists they are!
-
Putin aims to kill civilians, just like Netanyahu.
-
Oh no.
-
I don’t believe this is true. Republicans don’t care about Ukraine. They are at best ambivalent, at worst they admire Putin and want him to win. Wicked men gravitate towards one another.
-
The list of what republicans are allowing to happen under their legislative watch is gargantuan. Can they live with all of that? Obviously they can because they are. Can we? We will see if Americans are as morally corrupt as their representatives in 2026. If republicans cheat, will Americans revolt?
-
💔🇺🇦😭
-
This group of GOP is the most spineless bunch in American history. Make no mistake about that.
-
Powerfully expressed. Should be sent to every Republican in Congress. Fill up their Inboxes.
-
-
Filthy white @gop cowards frauds and criminals
-
Republicans won't stand up for Trump because they only care about their personal power.
-
They will be long dead by the time history asks them anything, so why should they care? I love these “but don’t you care what history says about you?” scenarios, ROFLMAO. Do you think Roger Taney cares that he’s vilified?
-
-
Some of the men these sorry ass republicans betrayed.
-
Counterpoint: No. Republicans are captured. They can do nothing. The GOP can't even go to the FBI.
McConnelll Graham, Grassley, and Thune - loathsome cowards - are the worst leadership in U.S. Senate history. Hands down.
-
Hegseth unilaterally "pausing" military aid to Ukraine should've been a much bigger scandal than it was.
-
Yes, this is an abomination, and every democracy on earth will be viewed as cowards by history.
Same with Gaza.
-
Rethuglicons will never stop anything all they want is for people to get murdered and out of the way.
-
Now do Gaza where the USA is actively assisting in the genocide, and praising it.
-
Heroiam Slava 🇺🇦
-
US could stop the horrible terror happening in Ukraine and Palestine right now if they want to. President has the capacity to do it but too busy asking to be nominated for Nobel prize for Peace and Economics
-
What outrageous step is the step that will help you decide that now is when you will speak up? Is this the one for you?
Call Senators not just your own.
Join a protest.
Circle the block at a protest and lay on your horn.
Write to senators and committee members.
This is NOT normal.
-
They’re destroying everyone’s future. Including theirs. They just can’t see it yet.
-
Yet the Russian oligarchy can vacay in Europe and America and own sports teams/business. And their spawn can go to our schools. 💰
-
GOP is complicit, more than once
-
Here’s the MAGA of 1939. Madison Square Garden. Lindbergh, Coughlin etc. Nothing gives me more pleasure knowing that a majority of these men were drafted and I sincerely hope they ended up on the Bataan Death March. A$$holes then, a$$holes now.
-
Let’s not forget Stalin and his Mini-Me. My Dad is turning over in his grave. Gave his mental and physical well-being to rid Europe of fascism and the Vichy Quislings are selling our democracy. Absolutely disgusting.

#Russia bombing #Kyiv, reminds me of the Nazi Blitz and V2 rockets that rained down on London during WWII.
Over 43,000 civilians were killed, more than 1 million homes damaged, and a third of London’s houses destroyed or made uninhabitable .
#Putin is Hitler just with newer rockets & drones.

It all started with Bucha. They slaughtered people with no weapons and the world did nothing. Remember that. mikerembis982868.substack.com/p/rembis-rep...
The Rembis Report and Other Fascinating Topics - Volume XLII
This is Bucha.
-
In regards the Stuart Steven’s post, yes, GOP could vote to give Ukraine what it needs. The complication is Trump’s seeming hold on PAC contributed money, which seems reason he strangleholds their votes. A reform of election contributions is needed, ie, NO PAC MONEY (Dem or GOP). 👊🔥🇺🇸
-
I'm not saying this to say Russia is good, but the greatest evil since Nazi Germany is Israel, not Russia. Hands down, far and away, the most brutal, horrific, and just downright cruel atrocities of our lifetime
-
They don’t care. They just go out for dinner with Emil Bove to celebrate.
-
Is Stuart Stevens saying that the Republicans could give the Ukrainians the weapons they need to stop Donald Trump? Because he is unquestionably the greatest evil in the world since the Nazis.
I for one would like to see the Ukrainians do that. Or anyone else, for that matter.
-
Those enabling this cannot call themselves decent human beings.
By now, as a species, we continue to show we are the worst of the worst.
Well, some are.
-
I thought Trump already solved six wars. No?
-
Self preservation. Greed for power does that, especially when you are rotten to begin with.
-
Republicans are so afraid of Trump that they’re allowing Putin to act jut like Hitler.
-
Trump is a bully and congress are his sidekicks asking, "what are you going to do about it?"
-
The Republicans who represent me in this disaster are -Senator Ron Johnson - always votes to agree with more money in his pocket & with trump with no thought to the rest of WI. -Rep Glenn Grothman - votes against women & education, veterans, the climate crisis, & for anything to keep his power.
-
This nation has been taken over by people who want to retcon the ending of World War II.
-
And they will very soon find that trading their power for the feeling they have job security was a very poor deal, as they make themselves irrelevant and lose their jobs anyway.
-
Biden and Jake Sullivan share blame too. They slowwalked aid, tied Ukraine's hands, and when Musk aided the Russians...they did nothing.
-
Rep Tom Tiffany loved this and loves doing what Trump lets him
-
As we rewatched Masters of the Air yesterday, my husband and I asked the same question. How did we forget all the costly lessons of WW2? And how could America betray the greatest generation and allow our own dangerous Fascist rise to power? Appeasement never stops Fascists, it just encourages them.
