Removing Harriet Tubman's name is especially galling given her record as an audacious military leader who fought for the freedom of Americans.

It's not very interesting to post excavation and engineering work. Additionally, such videos carry risks, as they may reveal geolocation and details about fortifications. I rarely share them. Please consider reposting and donating. Donation Link: www.paypal.com/donate?campa...

I’ve been shown unreleased footage of Sunday’s SBU drone attack. I can confirm at least two A-50 AWACS aircraft were struck by drones; the FPV drones landing directly on the radar domes before detonating. Multiple Tu-22M3s can also be seen struck in the footage.

Just watch Margaret Brennan eviscerate Marty Makary in this interview. He is evasive, makes misleading statements, outright lies and contradicts himself, while chanting RCT-RCT-RCT as some talisman to excuse what he has done to make Americans less safe from COVID-19. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGH2...

A few additional observations regarding the recent strike on Russia’s strategic aviation may help clarify its scale and implications. Our team assesses the operational strength of the Russian strategic bomber fleet to be at 70 to 90 aircraft. A midpoint estimate puts the number at around 80.

Russia’s recruitment from Africa for its war in Ukraine is expanding discreetly, with a particular focus on East & Central Africa. The main targets include Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo, with up to $2,200 monthly plus citizenship offered to recruits

The Russian news agencies are doing their best to play down Ukraine's attack on strategic aviation. Some people are speculating on possible Russian revenge (Oreshnik 😱), but it would be strange to do anything dramatic in response to something you are pretending almost didn't happen.

German chancellor Friedrich Merz says Berlin will help Ukraine produce long-range missiles, as Russia’s intensifying air and ground attacks drive Europe to ratchet up pressure on the Kremlin. “This will be a co-operation on an industrial level.” w/ @chassnews.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/8394...

A viral post is spreading fear on all platforms, supposedly from Liz and Me, about a nonexistent bill—just like the far right used to do. We cannot become what we’re fighting. The truth still matters. We win by being better, not louder. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/dont-fight...

This is just pathetic. Whatever you think about the genocide in Gaza, the simple fact is that he executed two people in cold blood in a public place, and just shouting "free Palestine" doesn't count as a "get out of jail free card."

After the tornado, Meals On Wheels St. Louis went door-to-door and learned that many seniors didn't know if their food was safe. Our teams are supplying hot meals to Meals on Wheels drivers, who deliver them. That way, community members who know each other can care for each other. #ChefsForMissouri

Your country’s Ukraine support is on the right track when Kremlin propagandists threaten to bomb you 👌🏆

Quite a statement fron Margarita, but obviously Russia will have no choice but to strike Berlin. No choice at all. Just like they had to bomb London, Paris and Washington last year when they delivered longer range missiles.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Russian movie director, propagandist, and former priest: Ivan Okhlobystin. He’s best known for his strong support for the war on Ukraine and for his radical views, which are often used as a testbed for the domestic Russian audience. 1/20

Ukrainian F-16 used in an offensive role. They don't have to get dangerously close to the frontline with these bombs, but still interesting.

Hi friends! I've just published a new article on Medium, this time about how the term "geopolitics" is used (and mostly abused) on social media, often in the service of disinformation efforts. Please read and also consider subscribing to my Substack! medium.com/@geogvma/a-f...

OTD in 1997 Russia & NATO signed the “Founding act on mutual relations, cooperation and security” in which we promised not to use force on anyone & respect borders. Lol It makes no mention of any promise by NATO not to admit new members. Odd, given it’s so very important to us.

Conclusion is somewat in the "No Shit, Sherlock" category. The most fascinating thing about the Nord Stream sabotage is still how many journalists that are willing to believe it was blown up by scuba divers in a sailing yacht.
