Ukraine’s future cannot be decided without Ukraine.
Any peace deal must be built on credible security guarantees that ensure russia cannot attack us again. Peace is not just about ending this war. It’s about preventing the next one. @TVPWorld_com

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The US is back.
Democrats are preparing a $15 billion Ukraine aid package and new sanctions against Russia.
They also want safeguards against the political manipulation of Starlink.
Russian diesel tankers are turning back as US companies shun deals for fear of penalties.
Democrats and dozens of pro-Ukraine Republicans could reach two-thirds in both chambers to override Trump’s veto.
Trump will be defeated.

Donald Trump just promoted one of the most vile thugs to ever slither into the Oval Office.
This is an insult to every American who voted for change on Tuesday.
Stephen Miller cooked up the sadistic mass deportation regime that ripped apart families and trampled basic civil rights. Innocent people are dead because of him.
Voters rejected his cruelty and extremism. This is sick.
"I am pleased to announce that Mr. Stephen Miller, the current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Trump Administration, and one of my most trusted advisors, will become the Chief of Staff starting Monday, November 9, 2026. Susie Wiles, who has done an outstanding job, will be moving over to the Trump Political Operation. I want to thank her for her service as Chief of Staff — She has done a great job!" - President Donald J. Trump 🇺🇸

If anyone doubted Trump's intent to dismantle American values and institutions, his choice for Chief of Staff makes it undeniable. By appointing Stephen Miller — someone who openly embodies and adheres to the ideology of Adolf Hitler — he has made his direction for the country clear. The U.S. is not 1938 Germany, and the American people will not accept this latest outrage quietly.

🚨I really wish that this was Al,
Sadly this is the reality in GAZA this week!
Rain is drenching the children of Gaza as the first winter storms flood the ruins and makeshift tents where families are sheltering leaving woman and children shivering in soaked clothes with no dry place to eat or sleep.

The only thing Chuck Schumer will do is fund Israel, block Medicare for All, and protect corporations and billionaires. The same goes for Hakeem Jeffries. The people are getting played by the Democrats. The party exists to serve capital and betray workers, just like the GOP.

1 am in Ukraine. Generators humming nonstop because we now get just 2 hours of electricity a day. Fires burning near my house after russian ballistic missile strikes.
No power. No silence. Just another night of Russia trying to kill us.

russian barbarians have published footage of a deliberate drone strike on a hospital in Izium, Kharkiv region.
They are no longer even hiding their delight in attacks on hospitals. They are celebrating them.
The world must understand exactly who Ukraine is fighting.

Let’s talk about Kirill Dmitriev.
Who is he, and why the hell is Putin’s sanctioned envoy being welcomed into the White House?
It’s not for peace talks.
Dmitriev isn’t a career diplomat. He’s a former Goldman Sachs banker who has run Russia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Russian Direct Investment Fund, since 2011. He is a close Putin associate and was appointed Putin’s special presidential envoy for international investment and economic cooperation in 2025. The US Treasury sanctioned him and his investment fund in February 2022, explicitly identifying him as a close Putin ally and describing the fund as an instrument of Putin’s inner circle.
He’s been building financial relationships with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar and China. He’s also been a recurring back-channel contact with Trump’s inner circle. In 2017, he sought access to Trump’s incoming administration. His reconciliation proposal reached Jared Kushner through intermediaries. He also met Erik Prince in the Seychelles. This is documented in the Mueller investigation.
In 2020, reporting revealed that Kushner maintained a private communications channel with Dmitriev. They discussed investment opportunities, international negotiations and even the Russian-funded ventilator shipment to New York.
In 2025 and 2026, Dmitriev became a central figure in Trump’s negotiations with Putin over Ukraine. He’s also been pushing for sanctions relief for Russia’s investment fund. And now he’s back in Washington, welcomed into the White House, where Trump met with him privately.
There’s another part of this story that deserves scrutiny.
The White House is giving Melania Trump considerable credit for the Oleshky ceasefire. But Pope Leo had already been working on this humanitarian crisis. He personally called Putin on October 16 to request a ceasefire, humanitarian assistance and safe evacuation. He spoke with Zelenskyy three days later. Cardinal Zuppi had been pressing the issue for weeks.
The Vatican’s diplomatic intervention is documented. The precise extent of Melania’s subsequent negotiating role has not been independently explained. And somehow, the central figure at the White House celebration is Putin’s sanctioned economic and diplomatic envoy.
Why is he here?
What is he negotiating? What is he offering? What is Putin expecting in return? And why is the American president privately meeting with Putin’s representative while Ukrainian officials are left out?
This man isn’t here simply to celebrate a humanitarian evacuation. He’s here representing Putin’s economic and political interests.
Americans deserve to know what is being negotiated in our name.

Serial killer with a gun demands potential targets give up their bulletproof vests to advance peace deal.
Jared Kushner seems to be saying here that the United States is prepared to put NATO's military presence in Eastern Europe on the negotiating table as part of a deal to end the war in Ukraine.
It means that that Putin's long-standing demands to demilitarise NATO's eastern flank could become part of the bargaining.
This has been coming for some time. Russia has demanded restrictions on NATO's military presence in Central and Eastern Europe for years.
And when Steve Witkoff met Vladimir Putin in St Petersburg last month, he said, according to Putin, that discussions about a new European security architecture should be part of the agenda.
This is alarming for Poland and eastern flank countries.
They will be asking what Washington might actually be prepared to concede in negotiations with Moscow.
Poland is currently negotiating with Washington over a permanent American military base on its territory.

The general level of optimism in Kyiv & in Ukraine has risen as a result of these elections.
We believe that Congress will be a deterrent against attempts by @realDonaldTrump to make deals with Putin.

You know how the most powerful international mafia works, especially the one with Russian roots?
You don’t need to owe them anything. You can avoid them like a terrible disease. But if they really want you, they will find a way to make you owe them something. Some people enter these relationships willingly. Some are tricked, compromised or trapped. Some are both.
I believe Elon Musk is a hybrid case.
He willingly entered the game because he thought he understood power and believed he could use these people as much as they could use him. But I don’t think he understood who he was dealing with, how this kind of network works, or how quickly mutual benefit can turn into leverage.
They made him think he would own them.
I believe that is exactly how they trapped him.
He thought he was entering as one of the owners. I believe he slowly became one of the assets.
And when these kinds of networks can no longer use you as a host, they don’t protect you anymore. They destroy you politically, financially, legally or reputationally.
That is how I see the Elon-Trump-Putin relationship now.
And I believe a lot of powerful people are caught in some version of this system.
In my theory, a lot of what we are seeing today goes back to the Epstein era, around the same period when Russian and post-Soviet organized crime was becoming increasingly powerful in America’s underworld.
The old Italian Mafia had rules, hierarchies, traditions, and a concept of respect. Your word was supposed to mean something.
The Russian criminal world that followed operated differently: far fewer rules, far less respect for institutions or human life, and a much more ruthless approach to money, leverage and control.

There’s something happening.
I have honestly never seen literally EVERYONE agree and united on a single issue: NO to Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
It’s like every single American has woken up and decided: fuck. this. shit.

Absolutely beautiful.

The voters did their part. Now the party has to do its part. If ever there was a way to kill Democratic momentum, it would be to allow Schumer back into the powerful position that enabled Trump to return to the White House with a Senate Majority.
Schumer’s failures are well documented, and any insinuation that he gets credit for Tuesday’s wins is laughable at best. These wins happened not because of him, but despite him. Let’s Address This.

Hace 51 años comenzaba la Operación Carlota, donde más de 300.000 cubanos lucharon para poner fin al apartheid de Sudáfrica, se defendió la libertad de Angola y se consiguió la independencia de Namibia.
El nombre de la operación rinde tributo a una esclava africana llamada Carlota, quien lideró una rebelión contra esclavistas colonialistas españoles el 5 de noviembre de 1843 en Cuba.
Alrededor de 300.000 soldados cubanos apoyaron la lucha anti-imperialista del Movimiento Popular de Liberación de Angola contra las fuerzas imperialistas del apartheid sudafricano y de EEUU, fue una humillación al imperio yanki que jamás olvidará.
También otros 50.000 cubanos entre médicos, maestros, ingenieros y científicos, sirvieron en la lucha del pueblo de Angola durante los 16 años que duró la misión internacionalista.
Además de defender Angola de la agresión imperialista, Cuba con esta operación militar debilitó y puso fin al apartheid sudafricano, infligiéndole más de 6.000 bajas en la contienda, haciendo que cayese poco después.
Sin duda, este fue uno de los actos más heroicos de internacionalismo de la historia, Cuba liberó al mundo del apartheid y ni siquiera se lo agradecieron, la bloquean desde hace 60 años.
