After a lot of thought I have decided to return to twitter. From 2023 to late 2025 I was part of the crowd that followed and wrote about the war in Ukraine, both here on Twitter and elsewhere. I did it because Ukraine did so much to change my life.. I was so moved by the the Ukrainians I met online and the footage I saw on Telegram and Twitter that I decided to take leaps of faith that I had never even considered taking before; tapering off of a ten year methadone regimen, quitting cigarettes, getting fit for the first time in my life - and many other things which I never believed I could do, the courage for which I sort of "borrowed" from the Ukrainians I knew personally and from those brave souls fighting in the war whose helmet camera footage I watched nearly every day (which is a habit that I don't recommend, by the way) I have a wall in my house lined with flags and trinkets from friends around the world - I even kept the packaging because I was so proud. I had such high hopes for the future and for a swift victory against the Russians, I remember believing that the world would unite to support with the United States leading the way.. at that time I couldn't have imagined the way things would fall apart into chaos and malice and negativity. Social media changes you over time, especially in the context of a war. You can start out with the best of intentions and sooner or later you will end up in disputes, be accused of propaganda and spying, find yourself feeling suspicious of others (especially those who ask for money) and the constant flow of bad news and aggression and lies will turn you sour one way or another. That negative energy (including that which came from my own behavior and words) is why I left several months back. So why return? Well, I always wanted to emulate those few who kept their dignity and sense of focus and professionalism intact for this entire time, those who have stayed the course of rallying public support for Ukraine, educating people about the war and the Ukrainian people, and offering a counterweight to Russia's hybrid warfare that is present across all of social media. In short, I want to turn a new leaf and try again. I think I can do better. Hopefully nobody will even know who I am. It's not even really relevant to anything that I have to offer here; I don't have any fancy impressive credentials, I never served in the military, I'm just somebody that was pulled into this by chance, somebody that wants to push back against the darkness and the lies shoulder to shoulder with everyone else who is fighting for what is right. Im also someone who makes mistakes and is wrong sometimes (especially about Iran, which, it turns out, really is a problem that must be dealt with.) I wish I could apologize directly to those within NAFO and certain US and European diplomats and officials that I gave such a hard time to with my previous account, but for now my apology must be sent in spirit. I hope we can all work together for the common good, even when we disagree on many individual issues. I don't want followers. I'll never ask for money. I just want to have not stayed silent and to not fall victim to hatred or indifference. I am working on some projects that I will post here in time. I'm sure I'll also be using this account to rebut lies and misinformation and aggression against Ukraine and the US. In fact if anyone ever reads this that'll probably have been how you found me. If you feel the same as I do, feel free to shoot me a DM, especially if you're American or Ukrainian (or if you like motorcycles!)

It’s her little shoes with perfectly tied laces by a mother who loved her that gets me. Now they’re both gone.

Insteaf of a thousand words. A woman trapped under the rubble after a Russian strike is showing rescuers how old her daughter is. The little girl was killed by Russia.

Jon Ossoff breaks down some of the crimes Trumps been committing to help Russia, his family and friends!

oh nothing, just @Grok telling me in no uncertain terms that yes, it absolutely will come kill us if it was told to and that it doesn't even have an opinion on the matter You know, just another normal Sunday morning in this lovely world that the billionaire tech bros have built for us 😀

The Ukrainians, upon learning of our betrayal, told our envoy in Miami that they would burn down every port and refinery. They meant it. Godspeed.

worst administration in the history of our country. 150 civilians killed and hundreds injured in the terror campaign just last week, and you decide to use it as leverage? against an ally? while not demanding or even speaking negatively of Russia and Putin? it's unAmerican.

Oh that's rich saying Zelensky is the one that "doesn't know what he's talking about" when you're 100% wrong (or more likely just flat out lying for the cameras) when you say Ukraine doesn't have Starshield @SecRubio

Trump removed sanctions on the country that murdered 30 innocent people riding on this bus last week. He has sided with this.

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

Opinion: People have a right and need to know what the man bankrolling the GOP is thinking. Because the things he’s thinking are bad, morally and historically. usatoday.com/story/opinion/c…

Херсон, 1 марта 2022 года. Местная жительница снимает, как русский танк бьёт по жилому дому. Нужно напоминать, нужно распространять преступления россиян. Это чудовище не должно уйти от ответственности.

“Elon Musk approached Donald Trump with the idea of slowing down Starlink in Ukraine, The Telegraph can reveal. The billionaire tech entrepreneur approached the US president with the proposal to introduce speed limits on the system, which hampered Ukraine’s drone defences, according to four sources familiar with the discussions. One of the sources said Mr Trump “agreed” with Mr Musk’s suggestion, paving the way for the Pentagon to execute the slowdown on Starshield, the military-grade version of the satellite communications system.

A vote for Republican at this point is a vote for Vladimir Putin

100% true, and anyone telling you otherwise is a liar. Russia is NO FRIEND to America, Europe, or the West. In fact, their entire foreign policy, founding myth, and eschatology are centered around destroying the West by any means necessary!

can't believe i'm retweeting loomer but some things are just more important than others so here we are

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are helping Vladimir Putin kill Ukrainians. Remember that when you vote in November.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

Shameful

Well, congratulations to the Americans. Now you get to drive on our blood, but hey, at least it’s cheaper. I’m writing this right now, sitting in a minibus in Kyiv. Today, I met up with some friends. For the first time in a while, I just wanted to spend some time together, talk, and enjoy an ordinary evening. But I had to leave early. I recently returned to Ukraine and haven’t managed to find a job yet. I can’t afford a taxi, and I live quite far away, so I had to say goodbye to my friends and catch one of the last minibuses home. And then, just as we were crossing a bridge… Ballistic missiles. No warning. No time to react. No chance to find shelter. Explosions literally overhead. The sounds of air defence interceptions were so close that it felt as though everything was happening right next to my ear. And only after it had already happened did the air raid alert arrive. Thank you. Perfect timing. You’re simply trying to get home. On public transport. After an ordinary evening with friends. And a second later, you could be dead. And perhaps the most frightening thing is how unpredictable all of this has become, how deeply it has become part of our everyday lives. I can already feel the psychological consequences of living under this constant threat. And now I’m learning that a Russian strike has hit a nine-storey residential building. There’s a fire. There were people inside. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has already confirmed the strike. Many people have no electricity. They’re sitting in dark apartments, trying to survive yet another night of Russian terror. And just imagine. Someone came home from work tonight. Someone had dinner with their family. Someone put their children to bed. Someone simply lay down, hoping to wake up tomorrow. And then a Russian missile struck. And we don’t even know yet how many people won’t wake up tomorrow. This is what our lives look like. While somewhere in the world people discuss cheaper oil, profitable deals, and economic interests, Ukrainians are paying for this war with their own blood. We are not talking about abstract geopolitics. We are talking about people who simply wanted to get home. People who wanted to fall asleep in their own beds. People who wanted to live another day. And I want everyone who talks about the economic benefits of doing business with Russia to stop for just one second and think about the human cost of those so-called “benefits.” Because for you, it might just be a number at the gas pump. For us, it’s another night we might not survive.

SPECIAL REPORT: The United States and Europe risk squandering the best opportunity since 2022 to alter Russia’s trajectory toward a longer and larger war. Ukraine currently has the best chance of seizing the strategic initiative against Russia since December 2022, while simultaneously facing the greatest risk to its momentum. Russia’s ballistic missile and jet-powered drone campaign against Ukraine, alongside its growing kinetic attacks against NATO states, aims to drive Ukraine and its allies into a reactive stance and distract them from seizing a hard-won opportunity to hold the strategic initiative against Russia. The Kremlin’s offer to supply diesel to global markets is a cognitive warfare effort that aims to disrupt the momentum of the effective pressure campaign against Russia’s energy sector. The Kremlin is vigilant about Ukraine and its partners holding the initiative and seeks to deter and disrupt it at all costs. The United States and Europe can either deny the Kremlin’s strategy or risk a greater war with greater escalation risks.
