Just when I think that I can't despise Trump anymore than I already do, he somehow manages to prove me wrong.

I dreaded what he would do when he was elected, but never in my wildest dreams could I imagine the complete shitshow he's running. Every day seems to bring another disastrous decision from him. I'm actually starting to fear that the world won't survive his second term in office.

That's where I am at. I actually asked my husband if he thinks we are going to be send to war... if this leads to WW3 (I've never had any military service - don't know if this is how it's said in English... but I mean the preparation to be in an army - it was not requirement in my home country when I was at that age)... and he said that we won't be... but... who knows. I really don't want to die in a war.

Not gonna lie. And tonight I'm really distressed. If anyone finds my posts unbearable - please put me on ignore.

Oh gosh. I think it's normal and healthy to be distressed!  They want us to cower in fear, and I don't want to give into that, but I certainly wouldn't judge anyone for being terrified.  I mean, if you're not terrified, you're not paying attention.  So yeah, it's *sane* to be afraid, and yet I don't want them to destroy me with fear.  Both can be true at the same time.  It's all insane.

Today, Trump insanely accused Zelenskyy of instigating WW3 if Zelenskyy didn't comply with Putin.

Not surprisingly Trump's behaviour is getting support from Moscow and from Orban in Budapest. The rest of Europe is rallying behind Zelensky.

From Zelenskyy's twitter, he's replying to all the world leaders who tweeted him support today.
So many!

Oh God how I wish she would have won.... 

 

Honestly, I fear now, not just for Ukraine, but for Zelenskyy's own safety as well.  The man could very well become a martyr for his people at the hands of Putin.

Knowing how Russia operates it's surprising that he has survived this long.

P.S Congrats, orange man - you've isolated yourself and your country from the world and turned yourself into Putin 2. Good luck, bitch!

March 2, 2025 European summit on Ukraine, held in London.

Earlier in the day, UK Prime Minister Starmer had spoken to the leaders of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, who would not be attending this summit in person.  (President Alar Karis of Estonia, Prime Minister Evika Siliņa of Latvia, and President Gitanas Nausėda of Lithuania).

(Apparently the summit was arranged hastily and somehow the three Baltic leaders were not included, so Starmer called to apologize?)
Per Lithuanian radio, Starmer offered the three leaders an apology for their exclusion from the meeting.
Starmer reiterated that Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have roles in supporting Ukraine and all parties "agreed that Europe must unite" to get "the best outcome" from any peace deal, which would be "vital for Europe's future security".

I had a productive conversation with our Baltic friends –
President of Lithuania @GitanasNauseda,
President of Latvia @edgarsrinkevics,
and Prime Minister of Estonia @KristenMichalPM.

I informed them about yesterday’s summit in London. Together, we must prepare a plan of actions that will bring us closer to real security guarantees. There are concrete initiatives, and we will work on them.

For us, unity with all partners is crucial to end the war as soon as possible and ensure a reliable and lasting peace. Ukraine, Europe, the United States – only together can we restore security for all our people, and this is really possible.

I am grateful for the support and the decision on new defense packages that will help save the lives of our people.
