This is essentially all that #Trump's bravado was worth all this time.

He only has the guts to twist #Ukraine's arms with grotesque "mineral deals" extortion -- smear, threaten, spit on the country that's defending itself in the largest European #war since #WWII against the entire #Russian war machine supported by the global dictatorial axis -- and then tiptoe around #Putin's wants and wishes like a lackey for a glass necklace.

#Putin's "Easter #ceasefire" was nothing but a charade—a show for #MAGA audiences who took the bait. Fox News aired an Easter Mass from #russia (accidentally portraying Kyiv as part of it), and MAGA influencers quickly began blaming #Zelensky for everything.

It was all done by design: to shift attention away from Russia’s Palm Sunday bombing of #Sumy and other atrocities, and to portray Russia—just as the MAGA crowd claims to be—as a #Christian nation with traditional values.

"So the #war_criminal admits that he's a #war_criminal" 🤡

#Putin publicly acknowledged the #Russian missile strike on #Sumy, saying it was "retribution."

#Putin also commented on the April 4 attack on #Kryvyi_Rih, which killed 21 people and called it a "punishment."

Basically, #Putin is saying that #Russia can hit any civilian object in #Ukraine and say that the goal of that strike was a military one. #Russian war crimes will continue.

@tagesschau "Putin zeigt sich offen"🤣
Und die liebe Tagesschau reproduziert seine Propaganda im O-Ton. #Putin taktiert nur, er will keinen Frieden. Bei seinen Verlautbarungen ist meist das Gegenteil von dem wahr, was er gerade sagt.

Journalismus war mal "sagen was ist". Nicht "wiederholen was andere sagen".

Klar "zeigt #Putin sich offen" für "Gespräche" mit der #ukraine

Was erwartet ihr von dem Verantwortlichen für die völkerrechtswidrigen Angriffe auf das Nachbarland?

Hat irgendwer Illusionen wie solche "Gespräche" aussehen?

Sein neuer bester Freund #Trump hat gesagt: "Wer das Gold hat bestimmt die Regeln"...

#Putin has signed the law ratifying the strategic partnership agreement between #Russia and #Iran.

Unlike the agreement with #North_Korea, this document doesn't have a mutual obligation for military support in case of military aggression against one of the parties. The #Russia_Iran agreement obligates the parties not to supply any aid to the aggressor in that case.

#Moscow and #Tehran also won't join the sanctions of other countries against each other.

The axis of evil gets stronger.
