🔊 On Friday, JD Vance met with the leader of the AfD. What do we know about the far-right party that is polling in second place? Tune in to our weekend podcast all about the upcoming German election https://t.co/FS1DwKDBeG pic.twitter.com/MpuGJSdpFY— Reuters (@Reuters) February 15, 2025
With Americans becoming exhausted with the Forever Wars in the Middle East, the “democracy promotion” grifters at USAID, NED, and the rest of the NGOs needed a new cause. Ukraine was perfect. As the most corrupt country in Europe, it would allow them to expropriate billions…— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) February 15, 2025
It’s no coincidence that the mass pardons for the Biden Family go back to 2014. That’s when Biden authorized the Maidan Coup and Hunter Biden was rewarded with a fake board seat at Burisma.— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) February 15, 2025
When Putin threatened to invade Ukraine in response to Biden’s insistence that it join NATO, it was a dream come true. War would allow expropriation on an unprecedented scale. Even Zelensky recently admitted a hundred billion is missing.— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) February 15, 2025
No wonder that NGOs and think-tanks on both sides of the Atlantic are freaking out in response to the possibility that this easily-avoided war might end. They will never see a gravy train like this again.— David Sacks (@DavidSacks) February 15, 2025

Your whole premise is wrong, at least with Putin. He invaded Ukraine because he wanted Ukraine. It had nothing to do with NATO. After conquering Ukraine, he would be expanding his border with NATO, just what he was "trying to stop". No one is perfect, but Russia is the bad guy.— Dr. Swa (@dr_swa6) February 15, 2025
Nice attempt at re-writing history. In reality, Putin didn’t threaten to invade Ukraine. He insisted until the last moment that there were no plans to invade and it was just a military exercise. But sure, keep inventing stuff that fits your narrative 🙄— JetSetGent (@JetSetGent) February 15, 2025
The ultimate grifter gravy train https://t.co/me3qrXaFYK— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 15, 2025
I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.— Timothy Snyder (@TimothyDSnyder) February 15, 2025
If Trump had been Roosevelt during World War II, he would have allied with Hitler and Stalin against Churchill.— Libertario desde cuando no estaba de moda (@Libertario43) February 15, 2025
Do the opposite of what USA did. We let musk interfere w our elections. Now he’s running our country. He isn’t being altruistic. He is doing it to benefit himself. America is about to suffer hard. Elon told us to buck up. We have to suffer. No specifics of why/how long. GET OUT!— Arianna Fuentes (@amFUNtes) February 16, 2025
Europe, stop freaking out about Vance. We already know he’s far right, it’s not news. Focus on deciding what you are going to *do concretely this month* to change the reality & facts on the ground in way that makes Ukraine winning & Russia losing a clear win for Trump.— Jessica Berlin (@berlin_bridge) February 14, 2025
Far right is the Jew of international politics. Just say it’s far right. Blame the far right for anything that is wrong with us. What a pathetic point of view.— WhatJewYouKnow (@WhatJewYouKnow2) February 15, 2025
Truthfully. I totally get why the EU would complain. However, they better do what trump says, or america is taking it’s stuff and leaving. Europe is nothing without america. America protects europe. America props up eu markets with a trade deficits. America protects the oveans so…— Trump's lead negotiator of foreign relations on X (@Christo86383094) February 14, 2025
The combined GDP of the EU and GB is roughly $22.5 trillion - that's only $5 trillion behind USA, and ruZZia's is about $8 trillion‼️ I can't understand why we are faffing about like this - we should be able to anhialate ruZZia without drawing breath— Kathryn Park (@Kathryn86582980) February 14, 2025
I think in the long arc of history this will be regarded as a massive loss for Russia. They lost a million people, ground vehicles, mercenary forces, warships, their energy export business, Syria is gone, Iran will gone, a huge list of new enemies... For what?— Aetrion (@Aetrion) February 15, 2025
Three years ago I said Europe should go into a war footing. It should be clear now it should reform both NATO and the EU. NATO without the US and EU without Hungary, Slovakia. Enough with all the talk and photo opportunities!!— fred hernandez (@fred_hernandez2) February 14, 2025
I am still trying to understand the purpose of his speech. Was he so profoundly hurt in his insecurity by a European that he had to do this? After all, he didn't really contribute anything to the topic of the MSC.— haunting Fella (@rebornfell4) February 14, 2025
I would say Europe needs to act. Simply. You can't make Russia losing a clear win for Trump b/c he doesn't want Russia to lose. His worldview was in his Truth post. He considers the US & Russia future allies as nations that both suffered greatly from European aggression.— Eric Chenoweth (@EricDChenoweth) February 15, 2025
This. Europe itself has been divided since the outset of the war. Endless debates about tanks, planes, missiles, all of this coming after years of deepening economic ties with Russia. Make Ukraine more dependent on you, and you’ll have more leverage to dictate outcomes.— Elijah (@Elijah_P_B) February 15, 2025
Another interpretation of “free speech” is EU/German legal requirement that social media platforms remove hate speech, which his tech bro buddies hate.— Paul Cadario (@paulcadario) February 15, 2025
Ukraine should recognize that the US under Trump became russia's ally and make a statement that Zelensky didn't authorize the Trump government to conduct any negotiations with russia. Thus, any talks held between those 2 deranged grandpas cannot affect the outcome of the war.— Dan Dev (@DanDev43761642) February 15, 2025
Yes, you're right. The most important is what the Europeans will do after what the Americans said. President Macron's move seems to be correct.— Ola M (@OlaM51220492) February 16, 2025
Yeah, free speech there is basically code for online troll armies amplified by AI so that corrupt persons within democracies can coordinate with TOC petrochemical or otherwise empowered authoritarians from without to end constitutional democracy and rule of law entirely.— Kirsten L.

Trump and Musk, the face of the new Republican Party, have 18 kids by 7 mothers. #FamilyValues— Bakari Sellers (@Bakari_Sellers) February 15, 2025
Criticising men for having children while pushing policies that encourage fatherless homes. Neither Trump nor Musk abandoned their kids, they support them financially and are actively in their lives.
