⚡️63% of Ukrainians approve Zelensky as president, poll shows.

Some 26.1% of Ukrainians said they completely approve Zelensky, while another 36.9% said they tend to approve him. The overall figure is higher than in polls conducted years before Russia's full-scale invasion, as well as in the spring of 2024.

If you use "AI" generated illustrations on your blog, I immediately suspect you also use "AI" like ChatGPT or DeepSeek to write your blog entries and I will close the browser tab. Ain't nobody got time for slop :) (and yes, I accept that I might be wrong with my suspicion in many cases, but that's a price I'm willing to pay. So much more wonderful content out there that doesn't use "AI" images :)

Who is the dictator?

#Trump: "I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president."

#Zelenskyy: "I do not want my picture in your offices. Hang your kids' photos instead, and look at them each time you make a decision."

Who truly serves the people, who serves themselves?

So we cancelled our US vacation and will instead visit Canada. Any user group in Toronto looking for a speaker during spring break?

How Hitler seized power:

1. Create a crisis.
2. Demonize opponents.
3. Declare a state of emergency.
4. Undermine elections.
5. Make the rule of law irrelevant.
6. Rule by decree.

If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

I wonder if engaging Trump on his false claims about Zelensky's approval rating is missing the point. Trump doesn't actually care if Zelensky is popular or legitimate. What he's saying is that he wants Zelensky replaced. That's Washington's new position, not that Zelensky has an xyz rating.

🙏 "There are no Patriot missiles near one of the Ukrainian cities. This is wrong," — Zelensky

🇪🇺🇬🇧 "I have started negotiations with European leaders, and I believe that they will be ready to finance the Armed Forces of Ukraine if the US does not do so."

The free world’s choice now will shape more than just #Ukraine—it will define the future

#Trump and putin are working toward the same goal—undermining democracy. One wages war, the other enables chaos. Words won’t stop them—only action will

The #EU must lead. The free world’s next move is critical

⚡️🇫🇷 France convenes second urgent meeting of EU leaders in three days to discuss Ukraine and security in Europe, — Reuters

The summit is expected on February 19. Among the invited countries: Norway, Canada, the Baltic states, the Czech Republic, Greece, Finland, Romania, Sweden and Belgium.

Our current geopolitical situation suddenly makes a lot more sense when you stop considering the US as a country which has just accidentally elected a fascist, and instead consider it as a country where tech oligarchs and Russia have collaborated to successfully game the elections, and are now dismantling checks and balances.

The US is now well on the way to becoming an oligarchic puppet state of Russia... #USpol
