⚡Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski threatens Russia with a terrible hangover:

NATO was created to contain Russia. Then we spent more than 20 years trying to Europeanize Russia. And it was Russia that decided to abandon all of that and try to rebuild its empire.

We will not let that happen. By the end of the decade, we will be stronger, and Russia will have a terrible hangover.

⚡Quick common sense check on this claim that the UAE will invest $1.4 trillion in the US.

The UAE's GDP is $0.5 trillion ($514 billion).

No country will (or can) invest 3 years worth of its entire GDP in the U.S. 😅 If you believe this you need to need to have your brain checked.

The numbers Trump is quoting here are utterly delusional.

⚡Russia’s Medinsky:

He [Bismarck] always said: ‘Never try to deceive the Russians or steal from them, because sooner or later, they always come to take back what’s theirs.’

I think this ‘Russians always come for what’s theirs’ is a very important lesson from history.

SonOfWords:
I'm not sure there are citizens of any country who are deeply patriotic to their homeland the way Russos are to Russia.

See the audacity with which Medinsky is dishing conditions to Ukraine and NATO, on behalf of his country😂🥶.

Three hours ago, it was four territories demanded. Disagreements ensued and he threatened that their return to the table will be to demand five territories.

And the motherfvckers actually did💀. Now that's boons of steel!
They said next time, it'll be 8 territories.

⚡Russian Demands (voiced by Medinsky in Istanbul):

1. Neutral Ukraine – No foreign troops or WMDs on Ukrainian soil, similar to Austria’s neutrality model.

2. No Reparations – Mutual renunciation of any claims for war damages.

3. Rights for Russian Speakers – Ukraine must adopt European standards for minority rights and end “nationalist propaganda.”

4. Recognition of Territories – Ukraine must not deny Russia’s constitutional claim over five Ukrainian regions (Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Crimea), and international recognition is sought.

5. Immediate Ceasefire Condition – Ukrainian forces must withdraw from all five Russian-claimed territories.
