A woman visited Ukraine and described the horrors that she saw on Twitter. The thread went viral.

The US meddling in Ukraine is really yielding the worst possible outcome in every respect. They're losing a war at a cost of US money and prestige, Russia is getting stronger, and innocent civilians are being caught in the middle.

Once the war is over, I expect that Ukrainians will turn on the West, who used them as cannon fodder against Russia when most Ukrainians simply wanted peace with Russia.

This is following the same playbook as Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, though I think that this time the blowback will be a lot more severe.

That account is a Russia fan and transphobic praiser of VIvek Ramaswamy and Tucker Carlson.



'She' has also used the Epoch Times - a source put out by a far right Chinese religious cult - as a source.

The account has also praised Elon Musk for telling advertisers to '**** off' (because of his racism they've been suspending their ads).

You can't trust Elon Musk's website anymore, especially randos. Blue checks are anybody who pays him. Even another possible Maria Butina.
