Russians now consider the U.S. a friendly country.

The percentage of Russians who view the United States as an enemy has dropped from 75% to 40%.

This shift is largely attributed to the relationship between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.

The betting market places the likelihood of the US-russian clash at around 5%: https://polymarket.com/event/us-x-russia-military-clash-in-2025?tid=1749413085654

Personally, I had thought that UK would be viewed the most hostile country to Russia.
To my knowledge, Russia targets the UK more than other Western countries because it sees Britain as a leading force behind the international support for Ukraine, both militarily and diplomatically. The UK has supplied advanced weapons, trained Ukrainian troops, and pushed hard for sanctions, while also maintaining a highly vocal and uncompromising stance against the Kremlin. British intelligence agencies are viewed as particularly aggressive by Moscow, and past events like the Skripal poisoning have deepened mutual hostility.

Just like that, the U.S. administration has completely abandoned Ukraine.

“President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed that U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles originally intended for Ukraine to American forces in the Middle East.

Zelensky said Ukraine had counted on the missiles to help counter relentless Russian drone attacks, which include swarms of Iranian-designed Shahed-type drones.

Zelensky said the plan had been agreed upon with then-U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and was launched under President Joe Biden’s administration.”

Surprise, Surprise, I have been writing about since Trump was elected. How many ways has Trump shown that he is and will not support Ukraine, There are too many ways to count.

It was obvious from all the wonderful phone conversations he had with Putin and all the talk of big trade deals with Russia. When Ukraine bombed all the Russian planes, Putin gave Trump such a dressing down he hid for 3 days.

When he reappeared he told the world Zelensky shouldn’t have done it and then after his pleasant call again with Putin talked about trade. Since then he is saying what Putin told him to say that he would seriously make Ukraine play.

Trump is so controlled by Putin, that is impossible to think or know otherwise.

Vitaly Golomb

Zero doubts Trump is a Russian agent.

Peter Keating

Do equivalent missiles exist in EUROPE?
If so they must be provided to UKRAINE.

IF NOT EUROPEAN UNION MUST APPLY PRESSURE ON THE USA TO SUPPLY.

Tactics such as these kill UKRAINIANS.

Judith Trembath

Those 20,000 anti-drone missiles would have had an immediate effect on the trajectory of this war. Trump and Hegseth are culpable.

“I am against Ukraine’s entry into the European Union.” – Polish president-elect Nawrocki

This is not just disappointing — it’s shameful.

Poland, of all countries, should know better. A nation that once stood shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, that knows what it means to fight for freedom and sovereignty, is now turning its back.

History will remember who stood with Ukraine — and who betrayed it when it mattered most.

Here is how to deal with the current situation since I understand things a bit 🤏 more than average Poles and Ukrainians
—— Ukraine must build New Logistics routes and pay for transit through Moldova 🇲🇩 and Romania 🇷🇴 ( this one is a bit harder politically), with agreements from Germany 🇩🇪, France 🇫🇷, Italy 🇮🇹, Spain 🇪🇸 and the UK 🇬🇧 as the destination places for business 🤝

As result – Polish 🇵🇱 Political course may change based on new economic prospects to connect Ukrainian logistics 🤔 for more growth of Poland 🇵🇱
—— but Moldova and Romania may be the main beneficiaries here, getting billions in logistics fees and business integration since they accept Ukraine first 🤝

This way we can approach EU much closer economically, and even legally to do business with the prosperous countries of EU, we can call it “preparations before EU”, and after some time when our neighbours (such as Poland 🇵🇱) see the economic potential and benefits of working with Ukraine, they may change their view to more positive to accept Ukraine to EU as an equal member 🤝

🇺🇦 🤝 🇵🇱 🤝 🇪🇺

Sergiy Ilyenko

Karol Nawrocki is short-sighted, to say the least. He hasn’t grown yet into his new role. Once he does, he will need serious discussions with his advisors, opposition, European partners, Ukrainian government. The issue is too serious. It’s existential for both Ukraine and Poland.

Antoliy Yefmenko

He meant that at least half of Poles are obsessed with their hatred to Ukrainians more then their own security, and security of whole Europe. Not to mention complete moral bancraptcy. The future of Ukraine, EU and NATO looks very uncertain. Orbanism is infection, if EU could not find the way to cut out infected parts it will die.

“Fascism is a right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalist political ideology and mass movement that emerged in the 20th century. It typically involves a strong leader, suppression of opposition, and extreme nationalism. Key characteristics include a perception of national or racial superiority, militarism, and a desire for social control and a strong state.”

It is truly sad to see once-respectable economists like Jeffrey Sachs turn into full-blown russian propagandists.

I’m sure Sachs was paid handsomely to participate in Dugin’s Tsargrad Forum in Moscow.

For those who don’t know — Alexander Dugin is a fascist and one of the ideological architects behind russia’s genocide against Ukrainians.

It’s hard to believe that someone as morally bankrupt as Sachs is still teaching at Columbia University. Shame on you!

………..

Russia bombed Kharkiv with guided bombs Saturday night, hitting the children’s railway and killing its director. At least 40 wounded.

This is not a “mistake”, but a deliberate act of terrorism.

Trump will be remembered as the worst and weakest president in U.S. history. He calls himself a “peacemaker,” but in reality, he is the greatest enabler of genocide in our time. By choosing not to act and giving russia more time to take lives, he bears direct responsibility for russian atrocities.

I wish I could say people would rise up against this morally bankrupt man — but the truth is, the chance of him being impeached is very low. According to the betting markets, it’s around 10%: https://lnkd.in/e_PAcnFb

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

We must and will rise against Trump, Musk, all those who enable Putin’s unstoppable war crimes; this is a given, and Europe, in particular, has the legal Nuremberg precedent template exactly for this. Dictators, politicians, and executives. The executives in a unique way bare direct accountability.

The Nuremberg trials hold values, those were among the many values that shaped the creation of our European Union, and we will enforce them again as long as we have freedom and democracy, prosperity, human rights, and decency on our canvas. I’d start by those who enabled Putin’s SORM:

Maryna Polshcha

Americans need to demand a thorough investigation into the Epstein case and his connection to Trump. This is the crack that could bring about Trump’s downfall. Intelligence agencies need to seriously shake down Musk, because he clearly holds evidence.

And the most important thing I’ve realized over the past month is this: Trump is so mesmerized by Putin because the Russian dictator is a master bluffer — to the point where everyone is terrified of a nuclear strike. They’re afraid and fail to understand that Putin would hesitate to launch one, knowing full well he’d face retaliation from all sides. If a rabid beast can’t be calmed, it has to be brought down by the crowd.

Michael C.

What about despicable, narcissistic grifter. Shameless, moral imposter. Such a pity that’s a Republican party so completely spineless ,majority-corrupted and consumed with amassing wealth through every possible means, that they won’t challenge him, or even discreetly parry/delay/redirect him. A really dark time in modern world history. clearly the Democratic party appears mainly toothless, apart from about 9 or 10 great people. Despicable wretched, trump.

David Bates

Michael C. Trouble is he hasn’t got the moral, psychological or cognitive ability to understand what you’re talking about! That’s probably the real reason he wasn’t fit for military service!

Dan Hanqvist

Too many people in the US like what he’s doing.

Ken Harvey

The Congressional Republicans have shown nothing but cowardice and there is little to indicate that that will change. Also, there is a significant minority of people in this country – maybe 30 percent – who apparently are true believers in authoritarianism and fascism.

Gordon R.

Roman your summation is only an opinion. Wait until 2028 before passing judgement. You also conveniently forgot to make you bias seem logical who was in charge in 2014 and 2022. Surely end results matter.
Try being less sanctimonious.. and NO I don’t think everything Trump does it good im trying to be objective.

Alan McDade

America is a democracy with freedom of speech. Shouldn’t you be celebrating this rather just wanting a dictatorship of people aligned with politically.

David Bates

Alan McDade yes, but we’re not getting it from this regime.
