Summary

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Donald Trump of living in a “Russian-made disinformation space” due to his administration’s talks with Kremlin officials.

He urged Trump’s team to be “more truthful” after Trump blamed Kyiv for the war and downplayed U.S. aid contributions.

Zelenskyy’s remarks came as U.S. envoy Keith Kellogg visited Kyiv amid shifting U.S. policy on Russia. Meanwhile, European leaders, feeling sidelined by U.S.-Russia talks, held emergency meetings.

Zelenskyy canceled a Saudi Arabia trip in protest.

      The EU just announced $730 billion in war materiel for Ukraine. This is double what the US contributed over three years.

      As far as I can tell, Trump has only been right about a single thing, that Europe needs to spend more money on military.

      Looks like it’s blowing up in his face and it’s going to fuck him out of selling Ukraine to Russia.

      As someone working for the DOE in the nuclear space, it would be helpful for you to update yourself on the state of nuclear weapons globally. Europes nukes are old, averaging 38.2 years each, because Europe has depended on American military power for too long. They still use tanks and don’t have enough jets. Russia has the most active nukes with the average nuke age of 10 years old. America, with an average nuke age of 40, is rushing to catch up as most of our nukes are from WW2. Uranium loses its strength over time. America has been concerned about Russia’s nuclear power for so long that we are already a decade into an initiative of updating America’s nuclear stock pile. Germany was a big impact on nuclear research but due to the politics, Germany has phased out a lot of the nuclear industry. America has not. America has been ‘deploying’ American nukes in Europe since 1969 but America has been keeping its nuclear weapon advancements to themselves.

          A lot of the nuclear information is declassified. You would be shocked how the gov will declassify something, but make it look restricted so the average person thinks it’s restricted. You can read about the Scorpius project online.

          I mansplain the state of America nukes to people who don’t even know why America is behind on nukes but still a nuclear leader, not even one intellectually, curious or inquisitive mind in a bunch. This platform isn’t even old enough for bots yet.

          Wait, are you trying to refute my claim? I don’t get why I’m being down voted for educating people on pumping nuclear information. It’s a lot more dynamic than ‘I have nukes.’

            If you’re claiming you work in anyway with a nuclear program, we have a lot to worry about.

            But yes, I am refuting your claim. I don’t believe it for a second.

              Waiting. Can you tell me why Trump had to reverse the DOE security guard layoff? Can you name a clearance level behind Q? So you know what company ran LLNL when they made the first new warhead in 3 decades?

              Then go look up the facts. Please, tell me the average age of an American nuke and let me know. I sincerely invite you to fact check me. So many Americans are massively informed on nukes. Ppl with security clearances can’t say they have one. Please, double check that statement for the Q/TS.
