FIONA HILL: Putin is starting to get very nervous about Russian society and perhaps elites. His choices are shrinking, and we can see that picture has become darker for Putin. On the front line, his army cannot advance, casualties are enormous and increasing. The other thing is oil. Everyone was expecting that Russia would have benefited enormously from the increase in oil prices. But in fact, sanctions that were imposed by Europeans and Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil have actually constrained those revenues. Revenue isn't the same as having more manpower or more weaponry, and he cannot turn the innovation tide against Ukraine. It's still costly for Putin to buy from abroad, from China, the components that he or the military needs for their weapons development. Putin is still trying to get others to hand him Ukraine's capitulation because situation for him doesn't look great.

BREAKINGNEWS: Art of the deal. Iran says Trump agreed to 300 billion to rebuild Iran. 24 billion in frozen assets to be released. Iran claims some of that money has already been handed over. Jesus this is a mess. 🚨

Eric Trump got caught trying to rig fights at the UFC event tonight. The entire Trump family are scammers and con artists. Disgusting.

#TrumpBelongsInPrison At his best.

Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

WOW! Senior Iranian official reportedly say that under their agreement with Trump, the U.S. will release $25 billion of Iran’s frozen assets including direct cash transfers. Remember when Trump attacked Obama for giving Iran $1.7 billion of their own money? This is crazy!

🚨🇺🇸 A terrified Bongino told Tucker that Trump shut down the Butler investigation himself. Tucker says he accidentally obtained the Thomas Crooks social media posts the FBI claimed didn't exist, then called Kash Patel and Dan Bongino looking for answers. Bongino, a friend of many years, allegedly became hysterical before finally telling him to take it up with Trump, who he said killed the Butler investigation himself. Tucker says he still has every text exchange. "There's no good explanation for shutting down an investigation into your own attempted murder. This is not what we've been told it was." @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork

Americans are sick and tired of paying higher prices as a result of Trump’s blunders. #CantAffordTrump

The details about the Tate brothers in this @newyorker profile are as sick as anything you will ever read. They are rapists, pornographers, traffickers - and heroes to the "conservative" MAGA movement newyorker.com/magazine/2026/…

MAGA: “Affordability is Dumocrat hoax. Trump needs billion dollar ballroom!”

Good thing y’all didn’t elect an emotional woman. 😂

BOOM IN BROAD DAYLIGHT: Just as Putin’s St Petersburg Economic Conference (the 'Russian Davos’) kicked off-- UKR drones welcomed visitors by hammering the Petersburg Oil Terminal. A 1,100 km deep strike. Massive fires, black smoke over the port. The means is the message.

SEN. KELLY: I've spent 15 years working with Russian cosmonauts. Took me 5 years to understand what motivated them. Number one, appearance that they were in charge of something. Two, who to blame when something goes wrong. Three, what to steal today. Only four, mission success. I think as Ukrainians, as Americans, as Brits, we're often motivated by mission success. You want organization you work for to be successful, you want your country to be successful, you want British Army to be successful, I want US Navy to be successful, I want NASA to be successful. That wasn't my experience with Russian cosmonauts I worked with. I'm talking about dozens of people that I knew well, what motivated them when they went to work every day. At the top of the list was that they really cared about the appearance that they were in charge of something, not mission success. Now, whether they were really actually in charge of it or not didn't matter so much. Mission success wasn't even number two. Number two on the list, I would say, was whether they knew who to blame when something went wrong, like placing the blame. Russians have a position in their Mission Control Center which is called "mistakes officer." When a Russian cosmonaut makes a mistake, they keep track of it and they take money out of their pay. I would say the third thing, even before mission success, was what am I going to steal from my employer today. And we would talk about that. They were very open about this. And apparently there's a saying in Russian that if you didn't steal something at work that day, you did not have a good day. For us, and I think everybody in this room here, mission success is the thing that matters more than anything else. And for the Russians I worked with, it might have been number four on the list. So I actually was not that surprised about their incompetence.

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸🇪🇺 AMERICA MAY LEARN LATE "HODGES: We are going to regret that we, United States, didn’t do more to help Ukraine, because Ukraine going to win this war. Ukraine’s defeat of Russia is in best interests of all of us. Ukraine will become dominant defense industry power in Europe. America will be left behind."- Hodges 🇺🇸 That is the warning Washington keeps treating like background noise. Ukraine is not waiting around to be saved. It is building, adapting, striking, producing, learning faster than the comfortable armies watching from the sidelines. If America helps too slowly, it will not just be a moral failure. It will be a strategic one.

Russia’s finest.

Wonder if someone can get this job done

“Putin can't even pronounce the word "hurrah" clearly anymore -slurs and mumbles - yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles.” — Volodymyr Zelenskyy

Trump: “only complete and total surrender” Iran: “nah” Trump: “Ok then no nukes ever! We want the nuclear dust!” Iran: “we’re keeping it” Trump: “ok!!!! We have a deal” Foxnews crowd:
