#Biden calls #America’s democratic values the “grounding wire of our global power” & its #alliances “our greatest asset.” …#Trump, called for withdrawing American forces in #Europe & #Asia & has promised… to cut loose even our closest #allies if they don’t do as he tells them. …Trump sees all countries as unreliable, the relations between them #transactional. That sentiment has spread throughout a #GOP that once championed America’s values abroad…
…#Biden says he remains committed to Ukrainian victory. Asked about the #war’s endgame, Biden says, “#Peace looks like making sure #Russia never, never, never, never occupies #Ukraine.”
…even longtime critics are impressed w/Biden’s efforts in Ukraine.
…Biden says his response has been part of a broader #deterrence strategy. “If we ever let Ukraine go down, mark my words, you’ll see #Poland go, & you’ll see all those nations along the actual border of Russia [fall].”
Someday I'll write something meaningful about this photo, because I never post photos that don't have any story behind them.
For now, go help Karam and his family. He's a guy just like me, except much younger + he's unfortunate to be in the wrong place at the wrong time of history: https://gofund.me/7c433301
Poland has transferred help worth 50 billion EUR to Ukraine since the start of the full-scale war. Majority of Polish heavy equipment was passed to Ukraine secretly in early 2022, as US and EU were still reluctant to provide any actual warfare fearing “escalation”. Most of the military support from Poland to Ukraine is not officially disclosed, likely to avoid helping Russians calculate Poland’s military potential.
I'm going back to Krakow next Tuesday, there's an interesting photo project coming up, keep your fingers crossed, it's obviously going to be something I haven't done before 😆
Starlink terminals continue to be sold in #Russia, used to kill Ukrainians.
Despite assurances from marketplaces that the terminals are not available for ordering and the Russian authorities' ban on using the systems, some sellers are putting the terminals up for sale under a different brand so that they will not be removed from the trading floor.
Only on the Russian marketplace "Ozon" managed to find 12 #Starlink terminals at a price of $1600.
