WHERE DID THAT DIESEL FROM RUSSIA GO? 40,000 tons of sub standard Russian Diesel was made a big deal of by Trump, as if it would somehow bring prices down. In reality it was mere hours of US consumption if it was ever even usable. The tanker, the Greek owned and Malta registered Agioi Fernandes,

A video of a ukrainian young boy has gone viral on social media. He tells his mother that he has grown used to the sound of Shahed drones and is no longer afraid of them. “It’s better to listen to nature and what the trees are telling you,” the boy advises his mother.

🔴 Russian media showed Russian forces confiscating Ukrainian literature and textbooks in temporary occupied territories for disposal. The seizure is part of a systematic effort by Russia to eliminate Ukrainian history, suppress language, and erase national identity.

I was more thinking of what happens if this one in Skokolkovo were to be hit. It's operated by Sberbank, they have a few more but this I believe is the largest. Due to Russian laws they may not really have meaningful backup.

You'd think the fact that the son of the President of the "party of family values" 2nd marriage is to the daughter of Epstein's banker and it was funded by a Rusisan oligarch involved in the mass kidnap of Ukrainian kids during a KGB agent's illegal war Would be bigger news..

Trump Jr’s wedding appears to have been paid for by Umar Kremlev, a Russian oligarch *linked to the theft and kidnapping of Ukrainian children*. This is both hideously evil and so utterly tawdry. newrepublic.com/post/215371/...

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

russian accounts claim the missile that hit the building I was in this morning was ‘air defence’ or ‘intercepted’ Here’s footage from a neighbour above me. Listen to it whistle in, intact, before slamming into the building. russians do this terrorism daily then lie about it.

I was walking home through my neighborhood in Kharkiv recently when I heard the buzz of a Russian drone in the air. There are no metro stations nearby, nowhere to hide, just houses and a park. In situations like that, you just carry on with what you're doing while a deadly machine flies above you.

I'm curiously to know whether idiot Trump asked Kim in North Korea for help to disarm Iran and if not, why not? #EpsteinFiles #Epstein #Iran #Hormuz

And I’m pushing back on this phrasing specifically because of the way this is twisted by Russian propagandists. The problem is THE WAR. The massive spending on the war and the sanctions are what have directed the Central Bank to the policies they have.

We are all grappling with Baumol’s disease, a phenomenon identified by economist William Baumol in the 1960s known as Baumol’s cost disease. Baumol’s assignment was to determine why in-person classical music performances seemed harder to fund. He found that the snag wasn’t that the musicians were

Too few people realize this, and Putin certainly doesn't want them to: Russia actually occupies significantly less Ukrainian land today, 4.5 years into the full-scale war, than it did in March 2022. What a pathetic failure

You may have seen the scary headlines about migrants from Morocco “crossing into Spain.” There’s some important context missing: they reached a Spanish territory in North Africa, not mainland Europe. That distinction matters. But FoxNews and the adminstration doesn't want you to know this

Trofimov is correct. A third to a quarter of the firepower expended by the US in Iran, transferred to Ukraine, would have meant a Russian defeat in 2024-25. The mistake is both Biden's and Trump's.

Tales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!
