“Too many people are dying — thousands each week — in a terrible and senseless war.” Trump keeps repeating moscow’s war of choice is truly terrible, but to call it “senseless” is to miss the point a few highlights from latest op-ed in a thread 🧵 1/9

"Russia’s campaign to punish Ukraine for daring to exist is the flailing of a bully, full of rage, devoid of strength." Vladimir Putin throws a tyrant tantrum — but Russia is big, brutish and bluffing trib.al/3Xn2WpY
America has spent less than 1% of its federal budget to help the bravest people on Earth defend themselves. If that fainthearted stream has kept Russia’s army at bay, it doesn’t prove our strength — it demonstrates Moscow’s weakness My latest for @NYPostOpinion #ArmUkraineToWin
A pregnant Ukrainian woman stands in the ruins of her home. Her father gone. Her future stolen. And the so-called Free World still refuses to acknowledge the true meaning of “escalation” — and its one and only source: the moscow-centered terrorist organization (aka russia).

Tsar Vlad has no clothes and his tyrant-tantrums expose a fake superpower. Bloodthirsty but hollow! russia’s crumbling economy, stalled war, and wanton terror attacks on civilians reveal rot all the way through. My latest for @nypost nypost.com/2025/07/20/opi…
"Russia racked up more than a million casualties trying to recolonize Ukraine." by @ChakhoyanAndrew nypost.com/2025/07/20/opi…
Putin is a WANTED WAR CRIMINAL. The crime he is wanted for meets the legal test for GENOCIDE. War criminals waging wars of aggression and committing genocide don't belong at the negotiating table, but in court and then behind bars.
"the only thing more dangerous than an aggrieved dictator is a world too polite, too naïve or too afraid to confront him." by @ChakhoyanAndrew nypost.com/2025/07/20/opi…
Moscow’s impotence is visible to anyone willing to look. Eleven years into its crusade against a neighbor one-quarter its size, Russia holds less Ukrainian ground than it did in 2022, and its latest tactics are best described as a tyrant tantrum. nypost.com/2025/07/20/opi…

Eleven years into its crusade against its smaller neighbor, Russia holds less Ukrainian ground than it did in 2022. Tactics include terrorizing civilians with killer drones and missiles aimed not at apartment buildings, playgrounds, and maternity wards. nypost.com/2025/07/20/opi…
The collective West accounts for 50% of global GDP; russia less than 2%. It’s no superpower, just a declining empire throwing a tantrum. Its invasion of 🇺🇦 is real, as are the missiles killing innocent children in their sleep. But its foundation (economic, moral, demographic) is…
Thank you @TIME for highlighting how Putin’s Russia has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children and relocated them all over Russia. One of many Putin’s war crimes. time.com/7302345/ukrain…
Putin still mocks @POTUS peace efforts.
Massive attack on Ukraine last night, going into early morning. Eight hours of sirens and alerts. Kyiv bore the brunt of the attack: residential buildings, kindergarten, supermarket, retail outlets, garages, vehicles, storage facilities, and the above-ground part of the…
Weer een nacht vol Russische terreur in Oekraïne. Met mensen in metrostations, slachtoffers en veel schade. Dit verandert alleen met meer militaire steun aan Oekraïne en meer druk op Rusland. Vandaag een digitaal overleg met defensieministers (UDCG) om meer steun te leveren. 🇺🇦
Die Ohnmacht Moskaus ist für jeden sichtbar, der hinsieht. Elf Jahre nach Beginn seines Kreuzzugs gegen einen Nachbarn, der nur ein Viertel so groß ist wie Russland, ist die Position Russlands in der Ukraine kleiner als im Jahr 2022, und seine jüngste Taktik – die…
Excellent OpEd Andrew. Clear and to the point. The rest of the world needs to recognize that ruzzia is a terrorist state and that Putin is nothing more than a war criminal that is wanted by the ICC. WE MUST COLLECTIVELY REJECT ruzzia, Putinism, and their genocidal war.
