My warmest greetings go out to the wonderful people who built their careers sniffing out “Ukrainian Nazis” under every stone in Ukraine for tasty headlines that fueled Russian war propaganda on this-is-why-Ukraine-must-be-dealt-with, only to get Nazi salutes normalized in their own country.

I'm afraid Wikipedia may soon have to update the "Supported by" section.

Weak and pathetic: "The US is opposing calling Russia the aggressor in a G7 statement on the third anniversary of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, threatening to derail a traditional show of unity, according to five western officials familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/7380...

Being a refugee isn’t a moral failure. But saying things like this is.

This one’s for the whole world. Go to your App Store. Leave Google maps a one star review. Feel free to leave other Google products a one star review as well. Reason: ignorance of geography and colonialist sympathies. #3E

"give me the man and I will find the crime" was a Stalinist thing

Gerhard Schröder was supposed to testify about NS2. Now he’s checked into a clinic suffering from “burnout…concentration & memory difficulties” & supposedly unable “to cope with the strain of prolonged, especially public, questioning.” Betraying Europe must be so exhausting. 💐 t.co/9lLxtK1oj9

My latest. What happens to a smaller army when it has to fight a war of attrition against one of the biggest armies in the world, limited in aid and resources? Exhaustion, a chain of command's bad decisions, and much more... #Ukraine #Russianinvasion www.politico.eu/article/ukra...

A combat medic from California, Jennifer Mullee, has been saving Ukrainian soldiers for almost three years. In May 2022, she joined a volunteer organization of civilian medics. Now, she serves as a combat medic in the 60th Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Deepest gratitude to Jennifer.

"It's a f*cking mass grave.They bury men here and then say they're f*cking missing.That's the kind of sh*t going on here." The video reportedly shows one of the numerous mass graves on the territory of the so-called "LDPR" The true face of Russian territorial gains& Putin's imperialistic ambitions

Governments have been asleep at the wheel … these are not normal times

For decades, America has been promoting checks and balances and the rule of law around the world. But now these principles are under assault in Washington, and nobody seems to know what to do.

Need more reasons why Canada and other countries need to ban Twitter / X? Or encourage people to leave the platform if they haven't already? Elon Musk has recently added more companies to its lawsuit over an ad boycott. #cdnpoli www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-x-...

Update on Yvegeny Prigozhin's legal case against me - UK law firm that acted for Putin’s warlord Prigozhin 'broke no rules' democracyforsale.substack.com/p/uk-law-fir...

I’ll be honest, this week there was more to destroy the rule of law than in trumps first term, And i have no idea what the Democrats are doing to fight back. Or even saying. Crickets

Oh my.

On the billboard, it says: “Stability” with a photo of Putin. Indeed indeed

Woke up to several very loud explosions in Kyiv. Now scrolling through the news, seeing Orban suggest it’s time for a sanctions-free relationship with the russians. Orban is nothing but a tool of russian hybrid warfare against Europe. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The president of Iran arrived in Moscow with an official visit. He will meet with Putin and they will sign a comprehensive strategic partnership agreement between Russia and Iran. The axis of evil grows stronger.

Russia's online disinformation campaign took my advice and started deepfaking audio of the people it's quoting. This is deepfake me with the wrong British accent talking about the Kursk offensive.
