Kharkiv… Thanks for the red carpet for Putin

I will never forget in my life that on August 15, 2025, American soldiers rolled out the red carpet for the greatest criminal of the 21st century. And on that carpet, the US President applauded the criminal with a smile, shook his hand, and walked along the carpet with him.

Russian soldier murders a Ukrainian woman to steal her phone in Rodynske, Donetsk region. Russian culture in its purest.

I would very much appreciate it if the press would stop calling putin's demand for Ukraine to surrender a "peace deal ".

Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."

BREAKING: As Putin enters US airspace, multiple Russian ballistic missiles HAVE JUST BEEN FIRED AT Desna, Ukraine. That’s how much Putin respects Trump.

The images of our American president clapping for, smiling at and handshaking with Vladimir Putin, the war criminal, killer who invaded another country, make me sick.

Trump literally had uniformed active duty soldiers on their hands and knees rolling out the red carpet for a genocidal dictator who has killed millions of people around the world the last 26 years. America has fallen.

It’s honestly disgusting seeing these war criminals wandering around American soil. This sends a terrible message to the rest of the world. Invade, murder & rape your neighbouring countries and get rewarded.

Can you explain to me why Bin Laden, who destroyed two buildings, was hunted by the CIA for years — but a war criminal who bombs cities in Europe every day is having a meeting with the President of the United States?

No. In chess, the players are on opposite sides, not the same side.

Today I was asked by a Russian journalist (Zarina) from RIA News Sport whether I would participate (if invited) in the match between former @NHL and Russian KHL stars, as Trump and Putin reportedly recently agreed. This is my answer 🧵

Why is Trump making a deal with Putin about a country that both the United States and Russia do not own?

War criminal Putin is invited to the US.

😂 The Nobel isn’t happening, but Trump may still beat out Orbán and Fico for Putin's employee of the year award!

So basically, all that talk about “disappointment,” “deadlines,” and “sanctions” once again turned out to be empty chatter about nothing. Trump isn’t going to do anything against the Kremlin, and never intended to. It’s still easier for him to keep twisting Ukraine’s arms than to do something against Putin, whom he still admires like a silly fanboy.

🧨 “We want Ukraine to stop existing as a state. We want its people gone - let’s say into emigration… or somewhere far away. That’s our goal.” – Bogdan Bezpalko, senior advisor to Putin on ethnic affairs, live on Russian TV. Also: chairman of an organization called “Ukrainians of Russia.” You read that right. The Kremlin’s go-to “Ukraine expert” openly calls for ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, and the erasure of an entire country - while smiling into the camera. And when he’s not fantasizing about wiping Ukraine off the map, he threatens nuclear strikes on Germany, Finland, and Italy - like he’s ordering takeout. This isn’t some fringe lunatic. This is a presidential advisor, given airtime, status, and power to speak on behalf of the regime. “Ukrainians of Russia” now officially means: those who cheer for the annihilation of their homeland. No one in Moscow is hiding the goal anymore. It’s not “denazification.” Not “security concerns.” It’s genocide. Displacement. Total destruction. Ukraine isn’t fighting for borders. It’s fighting for the right to exist at all.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the autocratic concept of “Good Tsar, Bad Boyars”: the idea that the leader is wise and just, but constantly sabotaged by corrupt advisors. This narrative shields the ruler from blame, and it’s used by both Putin and Trump today. 1/20
