Was checking on a 92yr old patient at work last night (ER), noted his birth in Germany, asked where he was born, patient didn't hesitate to respond with Nazi salute and whole ER ward watch as I awkwardly assert that no, just the location was asked. Dread to think what he saw as a kid in Berlin.

This is an utter impossibility in the high-side space. You gonna rush to your COVCOM in a hotel room in Djibouti tomorrow to fire off a list of all the clandestine source meetings or technical sensors your emplaced in the last week? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

Russia claims it's not attempting to retake all the former Soviet states while at the same time its actors are carrying Soviet flags and tossing Molotov Cocktails at the EU building in Bulgaria's Sofia. Read what they do, not what they say. #NAFOarticle5 www.reuters.com/world/europe...

Since Musk and Vance showed support for AfD and displayed their Nazi glee, far right Russian/NeoNazi linked AfD party in Germany dropped 2% in two of the main political polls. 🛡️ Keine platz für Rechtsextremist 🛡️ #NAFOarticle5 #Deutschland #Democracy

Evidence collection protocol failure leads to legal evidence being 'fruit of the poison tree' and possible struggles for conviction against Luigi. www.reuters.com/legal/luigi-...

If Trump cuts Starlink to Ukrainian troops, I suggest we boot the US out of Pine Gap, Australia, at least until the US has flushed the cheeto turd reich into prison where it belongs. Clearly the US is captured by the enemy. Five Eyes is compromised. #FunnyNotFunny #NAFO #Article5 #GreyWar

Musk is a Russian asset, convince me otherwise. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Putin could stop the war anytime. He chooses not to.

The unanimous conclusion of @chrussiaeurasia.bsky.social authors is that the only outcome in Ukraine that can safeguard the security of Europe is a convincing Ukrainian victory. Western military support to Kyiv should be redoubled before it is too late.

MajGen (ret) Mick Ryan @warinthefuture.bsky.social just published a typically perfectly put "Articles of a Trump ‘Peace’ Plan" open.substack.com/pub/mickryan... If you're keen for the highest level strategic analysis, I recommend following him.

vance is lying and knows he’s lying but even if he weren’t, “separation of powers means the president is an elected despot” may be true in some other political system but it has never been true in the american political system

Exactly so. USAID has done great good and it has also subsidised US farmers. They'll now have to sell at a loss or eat their surpluses themselves. Either way, their debt will increase and hit the US mortgage market (so we get hit too, as in 2007-8).

There's one guy laughing all the way to his dacha about this. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. Did Trump forget he was on the list, along with smirking Netanyahu and the Hamas leadership?

Adolf Musk's hacker team, Puberty Brownshirts, with no security clearances, no oversight, no authorisation, have illegally gained access to the system that pays HUMINT teams working in the most dangerous situations on the planet. intelnews.org/2025/02/08/0...

Elon Musk has given a former Twitter engineer with no experience in what the agency does access to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Another scoop from @timmarchman.bsky.social and @hudsongiles.bsky.social www.wired.com/story/doge-e...

"Russia's Wagner Group is committing crimes in Africa and expanding authoritarianism." ‼️ Africa is in danger. I have already published an investigation into how young women from Africa are being recruited by Russia to work in military factories.

The richest man in the world is having his Tesla engineers steal every American’s social security number, birthday, home address, and bank account information. We’re in serious trouble…

❗️Zelensky: This is how Russia wages war—Sudzha, Kursk region, Russian territory, a boarding school with civilians preparing to evacuate. A Russian aerial bomb. They destroyed the building even though dozens of civilians were there.

"No way. More." - Putin did not believe the salaries of Moscow residents. During a meeting of the Moscow State University Board of Trustees, he asked about the average salary in Moscow, to which he received an answer of 140,000-160,000 rubles ($1425-$1630).

I kind of trust the Germans to know a Hitlergruß when they see one

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte: "If we don't do this, in 4-5 years we'll either have to take Russian language courses or move to New Zealand," Europeans will need to learn Russian or start leaving, if the EU doesn't get serious about military defense. kyivindependent.com/nato-chief-s...
