This X post by Alexander Vindman is a great reminder of why so many Trump supporters are cheering for Russia. Vindman and Zelenskyy were both involved in the deep state plot to impeach Trump (despite Trump being the ones who gave Zyyy Javelin tank-busters to help stave off a Russian invasion).
No Trump voter should support Ukraine.

Another thing...
Zelenskyyyyyyy barely lifted a finger to defend Trump over that nonsense phone call "scandal" in 2019 and 2020. He barely lifted a finger. He left Trump swinging in the breeze, despite the fact that we gave them Javelin missiles to prevent a Russian invasion.
If Zelenskyyyy had done the right thing and told American media (with the same chutzpah he regularly musters now) "Hey, President Trump has been a very good partner. The weaponry he's given us has been incredible. We have been asking for the Javelins for years now and Trump delivered. I don't know why this discussion we've had on the phone is a scandal. It makes zero sense. We must remain neutral in your upcoming Presidential elections, but I also must say that President Trump did nothing wrong in this phone conversation we had".
If Zelenskyyy had said that things would have gone a lot differently and people like me wouldn't despise him.

Ummmm

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denied that President Trump tried to pressure him during a July phone call that is now at the heart of an impeachment inquiry in Washington and a messy U.S. political scandal.
“There was no blackmail,” Mr. Zelensky told reporters at an all-day “press marathon” in Ukraine’s capital Thursday.

Speaking to reporters Thursday, Zelensky said the goal of the call with Trump was to arrange a meeting with the president, according to comments reported by Reuters. He also said he told Trump that Ukraine was asking the White House to change its rhetoric on the country.
He said military aid to Ukraine was blocked before the phone call but said “our calls were not linked to Burisma or military aid” and said no conditions were attached to meeting Trump.
“I don’t want to interfere in U.S. elections,” Zelensky also said Thursday. He also said Ukraine was waiting for an official visit to the U.S.

Iranian commander killed in Israeli airstrike oversaw Shahed drone supply to Russia
by Tim Zadorozhnyy June 13, 2025 7:32 PM
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) confirmed on June 13 that its aerospace commander, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, was killed in an Israeli air strike on a command facility, according to the Times of Israel.
Hajizadeh was sanctioned by the European Union in 2022 for overseeing Tehran's supply of Shahed-type drones to Russia for use in its war against Ukraine.
He played a key role in advancing Iran's drone and missile capabilities, meeting with then-Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu in 2023 to showcase Iranian weapons.

Today on the front lines, a Russian Su-25 shot down… another Russian Su-25.
It seems the Wing Man of the Year fired unguided rockets into his victim's aircraft.
Edited for UPDATE:
quote:
... it fell apart in mid air in a turn, was not shot
quote:
if the plane fell apart in mid air due to overuse... the entire air fleet is suspect!!!!!!!
quote:
the first su25 still had its wing long after the 2nd shot the rockets... the wing came off in the turn...
remember the SU25 is not russian.. its georgian.
all the major replacement parts were destroyed in 2008 in a russian airstrike.
many of the russian SU25s are 40 years old the SU25 has been flying combat or simulated combat missions for 4 years now... and it's showing i guess
But the sanctions are not working...!
Video.

Ok, let's watch Putin fulfill his treaty obligations once again.

Are you calling Trump a Troskyite? He had the embassy in Iraqi evacuated a day ahead and is helping Israel defend against the ballistic missile attack today.
Got it

Poor leaders of Egypt... they have to stifle their smiles and tears of joy long enough to make solemn statements denouncing the Israeli attack on Iran...

Without a hint of irony, Putin offers condolences for 'civilian casualties' in Iran, condemns Israel's 'violations' of UN Charter.
Russia has killed tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilians, and the true extent of the death toll is simply not known.
During his call with Pezeshkian, Putin expressed condolences for what the Kremlin described as "numerous civilian casualties" and condemned Israel's actions as violations of the UN Charter and international law.
The conversations took place just hours after Russia launched its own missile and drone assault on Ukraine. At least four civilians were killed and 24 injured in Russian attacks across multiple regions on June 13, according to Ukrainian officials.

It didn’t help Iran to be allied with Russia, but they did get Putin’s condolences.
