Many factors why #Trump won

The most crucial piece is that #socialmedia is the center of all attention

Not unique to the #USA

Example:

"#FarRight #candidate takes shock lead in #Romania presidential #election"

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9dlw5pq967o

#Georgescu is anti-#NATO, anti-#EU and admires #Putin

He joined in August in 8th place. He is now in 1st

Why?

Social media saturation

Forget #cable, forget the #press: dead #media

Social media is killing #Democracy

This is now our greatest struggle

#Netanyahu is learning fast from #Putin on how to manage the public opinion in #Israel.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/24/israeli-government-orders-officials-to-boycott-left-leaning-paper-haaretz

Jeder Satz ein Treffer 💯

Die Vorstellung, dass es deutsche »#Staatsräson« sei, Israels Spitzenpolitiker zu »schützen« – und zwar selbst vor Vorwürfen schwerster völkerrechtlicher Vergehen –, ist ein verhängnisvoller Irrweg. Netanyahu wird nicht in Den Haag angeklagt, weil er sein Land verteidigt, wozu er selbstverständlich berechtigt und verpflichtet ist. Er wird angeklagt, weil ihm schwere Verbrechen gegen die Zivilbevölkerung in #Gaza zur Last gelegt werden, die mit Selbstverteidigung nichts mehr zu tun haben.

[...]

Es steht gerade viel auf dem Spiel, nicht nur für Deutschland, sondern auch international. Wenn die Bundesregierung den Angeklagten #Netanyahu nun anders behandelt als den Angeklagten Wladimir #Putin oder als in der Vergangenheit die Angeklagten Omar al Baschir aus dem Sudan oder Slobodan Milošević aus Serbien, dann gibt es dafür nur eine Bezeichnung: Heuchelei. Wenn dieselben Personen, die den Haftbefehl gegen Putin feierten, nun den Haftbefehl gegen Netanyahu skandalisieren, dann kann man sich sicher sein: Um Recht geht es dabei nicht.

"This week, the air alert sounded almost every day throughout Ukraine. This night alone, our air defense forces managed to shoot down about 50 attack drones. During the week, Russia used more than 800 guided aerial bombs, about 460 attack drones and more than 20 missiles of various types against Ukraine and our people.

Ukraine is not a weapons testing ground. Ukraine is a sovereign and independent state."

Good morning. It's 6AM, Friday, 22nd November. The headlines: #Russia has initiated another missile attack on #Ukraine, with President #Putin acknowledging ballistic missiles were deployed. The International Criminal Court has issued an arrest warrant for #Israel's Benjamin #Netanyahu over alleged crimes against humanity. In the US, Matt #Gaetz has retracted his bid for Attorney General, with Pam Bondi being the new nominee. #BBC #News

Personally, I think #trump and #musk are agents (or useful idiots) for #Putin.

"Democratic senators called for an investigation into Elon Musk's contacts with the Russian government, which led to Musk threatening to expose them.
The accusations have raised serious questions about his reliability as a government contractor, given his significant involvement in government contracts.
Elon Musk's aggressive reaction to the senators' request for an investigation has created tension between him & lawmakers.
The potential federal investigation into Musk's alleged ties with Moscow comes amidst political implications, as Trump's return to the White House & his ties with Musk add complexity to the situation." #press #international #USPol #news #oligarchs #crime

Ukrainian Defenders who shot down a Russian Kh-101 missile in the Rivne region received awards.

Senior soldiers Olha Maksymenko and Valentyna Steblevets, soldier Nataliia Hrabarchuk shot down the Russian missile together.

Olha's husband died in the war in 2023. "It won't be what it was, but it is what it is," she wisely says.

"Behind our backs are our children, our families, our relatives, our brothers-in-arms," the ladies said.

Russian Car Crash

Carmaker forecasts 30% collapse in Russian car market by 2025.

Sales of new cars and light commercial vehicles in Russia could decline by 21-30% in 2025 if high interest rates persist, Avtovaz CEO Maxim Sokolov said on Nov. 19, according to the state-owned TASS news agency.

Sokolov attributed the anticipated decline to customers diverting savings from car purchases to bank deposits due to elevated interest rates.

"Putin is playing with our fears"
- German FM on Russia's updated nuclear doctrine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to intimidate the West by expanding the conditions for using nuclear weapons in Russia’s updated nuclear doctrine, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Nov. 19.

"We will not let ourselves be intimidated," she said, adding that this is not the first time the Kremlin has resorted to nuclear threats.

1,000 DAYS OF WAR!

"Today is day 1,000 of Russia's aggression and invasion of Ukraine.

The true cost in human lives will never be known.

This war is not about Ukraine. It is about Putin's selected memory of the USSR and his desire to be a feared world leader.

Once Ukraine is finished, he will set his sight on the next ex Soviet Republic.

Putin is the ghost of USSR's past.

He must be removed from power"

One thing -- #Russia has never demonstrated good faith. If they had acted in good faith, they would not have invaded #Ukraine in 2022 or seized #Crimea in 2014. While the US should have left no stone unturned to end the conflict in #Ukraine, #France and #Germany have repeatedly talked to #Putin, only for him to meet them with contempt. Biden's support for #Israel right or wrong only tied down resources which could have been used to support Ukraine. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-foreign-policy-team-chaos/

Timothy Snyder zeroes in on the Russian-generated psyops the Republican party used in this campaign to suppress Harris votes:

"'The entire goal of the campaign was to push her numbers down,' as a top Trump advisor said. This was achieved by the familiar phantom combination: oligarchical money + psychographic information about individuals + social media delivery system + demotivational message."

Zelenskyy:

"Olaf's call, in my opinion, is Pandora's box. Now there may be other conversations, other calls. Just a lot of words. And this is exactly what #Putin has wanted for a long time: it is crucial for him to weaken his isolation. #Russia's isolation. And to engage in negotiations, ordinary negotiations, that will lead to nothing. As he has been doing for decades... we want to warn everyone: there will be no Minsk-3; what we need is real #peace."

For the idiots who still don't get #Putin after 24 years in charge of an expansionist russian colonial empire (aka russian federation), if they start calling him now, without simultaneously INCREASING military supplies to #Ukraine as winter sets in, and doubling down on #sanctions as russia+DPRK #fascism is strengthened, Putin will interpret those calls as proof of a successful campaign of #terror, sabotage and subversion, and intensify his colonial imperialist #war

As the weather gets colder, communal collapse resumes in Russia: according to local media, a part of Yekaterinburg turned into a sauna due to a leak in pipes.

So far, the exact location of the leak has not been found. Asphalt started to collapse in that area of the city.

It is minus 3 degrees Celsius in Yekaterinburg and snowing today.

Putin doesn't care how many Russians suffer as he spends billions on war every day.

Asking #Putin to not 'escalate' in #Ukraine, is like asking #Netanyahu to avoid civilian causalities in #Gaza.

#Trump

Now that #Trump is the #president-elect, notice that #Qatar suspends mediation talks. They know its futile to try to help the #palestinians in #Gaza. #Netenyahu now knows #Trump will side with him unless #Putin tells #Trump differently.

@sethabramson.bsky.social

#Trump had a good election—in part because his friend Benjamin Netanyahu took actions in #Gaza cost Democrats a huge number of votes. ( Ed: Freaking predictable 🙄)

And agents in #MAGA media were also great at lying about inflation, crime, and immigration data. They were *really good* at disinformation.

NATO condemned the direct involvement of North Korean troops in the war against Ukraine. The alliance called on Russia to comply with its international obligations and urged other nations not to assist Russian aggression. NATO also reaffirmed its commitment to supporting Ukraine for as long as needed to secure victory against Russian aggression.

A Russian 'war correspondent' filmed a Russian T-90M Proryv ("Breakthrough") tank torn to pieces. It had ordinary bricks instead of reactive armor.

The explosion, caused by mine, tore off the tank's turret, and its gun stuck into the ground.

At first, the 'war correspondent' can't figure out what tank it is, mistakes it for a Leopard, and happily takes selfies near it. And only then someone says that the tank is, in fact, Russian.

Trump election in US actually opens up the whole Eastern Europe for taking by #Putin as soon as Trump abandons #Ukraine. The possible further invasions speculated in 2022 are becoming way more likely as soon as NATO countries start loosing political and military power. #Russia

Today #Europe wakes up to #Trump potentially partitioning it with #Putin. I have a feeling this will feel a bit like post-1945 with the Allies decided who gets what. All so Trump & Co and Putin can extract more wealth for themselves.

Europe also has to share some of the blame, for decades the far right was hatching this scheme in the USA. So to have done almost nothing to mitigate it is shameful.

Russian media report that residents of the Astrakhan regional center have been left without cold water – against the background of the lack of hot water, which they have not had for several months.

After that, the regional administration came to the town of Narimanov in Russia's Astrakhan region.

As explained by the district authorities, the deterioration of water and heat supply networks is more than 70%.

If Trump is elected, ALL of those sacrifices will be for naught as Trump will reward Putin for his invasion by gifting Putin the Ukrainian lands he now Occupies and perhaps more.

"We will adhere to democratic paths of development, we will develop civil society and place state institutions under public control"
- Putin 23 years ago

Then, in the first years of his power, he was still pulling the wool over people's eyes about the lack of alternatives to democratic development and a market economy. He promised that there would be no breakdown of democratic institutions or going beyond the legal framework.
