🎙️an American bringing you a war journal from Ukraine every day since 2022. | On a long truth-seeking journey that began in the dark halls of American power
I’m JP Lindsley, an American journalist advocating for freedom + truth in Ukraine every day since February 24 2022. Follow me to feel the reality of resistance and war. I share what I see with whomever I can—especially skeptics. See 🧵below for story of why I am here ⤵️
If I’d never been to Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it. From afar, to those quite tired of Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until…
Step away from current media-frenzy stories: will anyone ever see these truths from Ukraine?

Ah, well no one will see this but herein are the keys to making sense of current deadly geopolitical madness.

Russia invaded Ukraine not because of anything Zelenskyy did, but because the Ukrainian people refused to be Putin's bitch. That's it.
I'll let Dmytro Kuleba, ex-Ukrainian foreign minister, show the mood I witnessed in Kyiv today: "It is a bad day for Ukraine." This was a mood that I witnessed congealing BEFORE the Oval Office kerfuffle, which ironically gave Ukraine's president a boost. What think you?
Before the Usyk-Dubois fight, Piers Morgan interviewed both fighters in a powerful, dramatic, raw, honest way. Here are highlights! Find full show here youtube.com/@PiersMorganUn…
I hold steadfast. And I see that Russia, terrified of a power alliance between the USA and Ukraine, is doing everything it can, with its limited intelligence but big money, to prevent American and Ukrainian cooperation.
Thanks for the lovely article @JPLindsley on my new UK-Ukraine Defence Tech Startup Trypillian 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 👇
1/ 🧵 From a hospital bed after his third concussion fighting near Bakhmut, a Ukrainian warrior sent a LinkedIn message that would become a $5M defense company. Now he's CEO of British-Ukrainian Trypillian—boosting mil-tech that most VCs won't fund 🧵⤵️
Some Americans would rather Trump lose than Ukraine win. Meaghan Mobbs is correct:
Some of the responses highlight a troubling contradiction: people who claim to support Ukraine are more focused on attacking Trump than confronting a growing Russian propaganda line - that the war in Ukraine is a direct result of the Russian collusion narrative.
I 100 percent agree with this. I'm tired of this scenario where the whole free world, which has free speech largely thanks to US guarantees, can criticize America and Americans, but we have to be docile imbeciles in return. No. America is the most powerful--and…
It will never cease to shock me that it is totally acceptable for folks overseas to routinely criticize America, her people, her leaders, etc. but for the reverse to happen it be a punchline. Oftentimes, it’s also the loudest who then demand America do more. Pay more. Give more.
