Kyiv is experiencing the great humanitarian, Putin, right now. Fuck you, Witkoff, from all of us, personally.

The rules of the road when it comes to Trump’s relations with foreign leaders are clear: He may trash you. But woe unto you if you whack back. No one knows that better than Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky. nytimes.com/2026/10/21/us/po…

Germany’s Chancellor Merz: My biggest concern at the moment is not our economy, is not the European Union, is not America, is not China. My biggest concern is the impact of Russia on our society and how they are succeeding in destabilizing our societies.

It’s war. Especially now that Trump has officially joined the Russian side, Europe must fight back or lose this war it refuses to admit that it’s already in.
Putin personally ordered a new wave of attacks on @NATO countries in Europe. The Leipzig airport plot was one of the opening shots. Putin was driven by frustration with the stalled negotiations and Ukraine’s deep strikes. My report via @WSJ wsj.com/world/europe/airfiel…

Churchill could have shortened WW2 by years if he had just “done a deal” with Hitler. George Washington could have done a deal to end the American Revolution. Zelenskyy is in good company.

During the meeting with Witkoff, Putin added that in addition to diesel, Russia could also supply fertilizers to the United States. This is also a manipulation targeted at American farmers, whose support Trump is losing as well. So, are we to expect new exemptions from US sanctions?

A man who kills civilians, every day, is a "humanitarian" ? Who kidnaps children? Who authorizes soldiers to use torture and rape?
Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff just told Putin he is a humanitarian. This is completely fucking insane.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The ICC issued an arrest warrant against Putin for crimes against children in 2023. icc-cpi.int/news/situation…

WTF, Steve? Look up the definition of “humanitarian.” What an embarrassing and outrageous thing to say. You should go back to Ukraine and ask the families of the children Putin has kidnapped and murdered whether they agree your friend Putin is a “humanitarian.”
Steve Witkoff to Putin: You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that, I commend you, and I thank you again.

This is why Putin doesn’t hold free and fair elections. They’re unpredictable!
MAGA and Russian disinformation have massively fueled the separatist movement in Alberta, Canada. Nevertheless, Albertans overwhelmingly voted to remain part of Canada.
