For those of you who thought this story wasn’t being carried by MSM, it is. I’ve seen it everywhere.
AFP—President #Biden slammed as "appalling and dangerous" comments by Donald #Trump downplaying US commitments to #NATO, warning Sunday that the former president intends to give #Russia leader Vladimir #Putin "a greenlight for more war and violence."
Twofer. #Russia
Via Yaroslavl Trofimov:
Putin to Carlson: we do not intend to attack #NATO countries.
Two days later: Russia issues an arrest warrant for the prime minister of a NATO country.
Via @emptywheel:
Is the political press corp too dim-witted to connect #Trump's order that Congress withhold #Ukraine funding to Trump's boast that he promised to let Russia have his way with NATO allies? You realize these are inextricably linked, don't you?

I don’t usually post screen grabs from the hellsite, but this was too long to simply quote.

"One day after Putin told Tucker Carlson he invaded Ukraine not because of NATO, but because of his commitment to pursue Greater Russia, Trump promised he'd help Putin pursue Greater Russia. …
At a time when winning the election is an existential necessity for Trump, one day after Putin made clear he is seeking not just Ukraine, but Greater Russia, Trump overtly promised to allow Russia to carve up NATO."

The Republican 2024 front runner is openly calling for Russia to invade NATO countries.
Trump says he would encourage Russia to attack #NATO allies: I said I would not protect our #NATO allies. "In fact, I would encourage Russia to do whatever the hell they want."
Trump is a racist, philandering, con-artist. A federal court found him liable for rape, he’s facing 91 state and federal felonies, he incited an armed rebellion just 36 months ago, he lied to voters 32,000+ times between 2017 and 2021, he’s declared bankruptcy six times, and historians rank him as the worst president in #American history. Oh, and he increased our national debt by $7.8 trillion dollars.
This monster is proud of helping kill #RoevWade, stripping Women and girls of medical care.
Trump is one thing above all else, a criminal, completely immoral, a liar, a loser.
#Vote and kick this monster to the trash pile of history.

#Biden condemns #Trump’s #NATO comments as ‘dumb, shameful, dangerous and un-American’ –
President accuses predecessor of seeing Nato as a ‘protection racket’ and ‘bowing down’ to #Putin in speech urging quick passage of foreign aid bill

1 reason why #Trump's comments about abandoning #NATO matter are, 1st & foremost, bc he ordered GOP to abandon #Ukraine which virtually all near-Ukraine allies think makes them next
He is, in front of our faces, delivering Ukraine up to Putin as a gift.
But the other reason it matters is bc we SAW this call-and-response in '16 & '20, when Trump got help from Russian spies
This is more of same. Stop letting Trump play dumb. Stop playing dumb yourself. https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/02/12/call-and-response-putin-is-demanding-greater-russia/

We are dramatically understating the threat Donald #Trump and the #MAGA movement pose to the security of the #US, #Europe and the world.
It is time to move beyond the political spin offered by #GOP propagandists and Internet trolls and acknowledge that Trump and the MAGA movement are today active assets of Vladimir #Putin and the #Kremlin, as essential to #Russia’s future global ambitions as that country’s own armed forces.

You guys still didn’t get it. It’s not a choice between supporting or not supporting Ukraine.
It’s a choice between fighting Russia yourself or with money. And it’s not indefinite, if Ukraine loses you will have to fight.
Not because you want to. But because there’s only one kind of invitation you cannot say no to: “let’s go outside”.
France is smart: they are already discussing reinstating general military service. They are preparing. You should too. 1/2

European intelligence agencies have warned their governments that #Russia is plotting violent acts of sabotage across the continent as it commits to a course of permanent conflict with the west.
Russia has already begun to more actively prepare covert bombings, arson attacks and damage to infrastructure on European soil, directly and via proxies, with little apparent concern about causing civilian fatalities, intelligence officials believe.

So #Putin offers us “peace” if we surrender four regions completely, including Kherson and Zaporizhe.
This is insane, since he wants #Ukraine to submit even two large cities #Russia doesn’t control.
We also have to promise not to join #NATO
This is not a peace offer, this is basically a demand for unconditional surrender. But my point is different.
Watch everybody in the coming days who say Russia wants peace. They are either idiots or russian assets.
Pls boost.
