Raucous

The cognitive dissonance is too big for most of their voters to understand this, but whenever a party that appeases Russia and wants to end support to Ukraine wins elections in Europe, Russia becomes more likely to launch an invasion into the EU

I never thought I’d see testimonies like this before the U.S. Congress. These are grown men who should know fact from fiction, yet they stand there shamelessly gaslighting the American people & performing for an audience of one. It’s both astonishing & deeply sad to see how far the U.S. has fallen.

1/ Russian sources say that Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, under the command of Robert “Madyar” Brovdi, have made "significant strides in UAV production and deployment technology". Russian soldiers are facing "slaughter [like] cattle" as a result. ⬇️

Good morning ☺️

The absolute best argument against allowing people to become multibillionaires is watching what they actually do with the money. Almost every time an oligarch speaks or acts, they prove why extreme wealth concentration is a catastrophic threat to society

Tech oligarchs built the path for Trump's return. They funded the campaign and used their platforms to amplify the message. When this era finally ends we cannot let them pretend they were innocent bystanders. They are dangerous people who traded democracy for deregulation

Hitler didn’t begin with camps. He began with nationalist revival slogans, attacking the press, banning books, scapegoating immigrants, demonizing educators, gutting the arts, and turning neighbors into enemies... just like what we're seeing in America today.

Anyone who supports Trump and/or European far-right parties is a victim of Russian disinformation and thus a useful idiot for Russia

Musk is extremely dangerous

🇵🇱🇪🇺 Europe must realize that it is already at war, — Tusk The biggest and most important task of our leaders today is to make other people, the entire Western, transatlantic community, realize: this is a war. We did not want this, it is sometimes strange — a new type of war, but still a war.

Russia: Local news in Saransk, capital of Mordovia with 300,000 population, presented the fuel crisis as a great mystery, offering no coherent explanation. Real reason: Constant Ukrainian long-range strikes have taken out over 25% of Russian oil refining capacity in the past month.

There is a global information war, and America is unilaterally disarming: The U.S. is reorienting its foreign policy to help autocratic governments manipulate and suppress information. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

An enemy of the West and everything it stands for

Never trust Putin. Never trust Trump. Any agreement with any one of those men is worthless.

1/7 Elbridge Colby is one of russia’s best allies in Washington. He’s a traitor to the US and an enemy of Ukraine. He must be remembered as the man who helped russia kill more Ukrainian civilians—and the Trump administration for enabling him

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.

the problem is that "beating Trump" basically means brutally punishing MAGA wrongdoing and fighting back against the hallucinatory right-wing media ecosystem, and neither side of the eternal left-center struggle really cares about those things because they deprioritize the agenda of the left/center

The launch of a new North Korean destroyer under construction at Chongjin seems to have gone ... poorly.

We have our winner! 🥇

1/4 Putin’s strongest asset? Despite Putin repeatedly rejecting a ceasefire and Ukraine having accepted an unconditional one two months ago, Trump continues to blame Zelensky and refuses to hold russia accountable—just like a russian asset would

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll discuss the state of X in May 2025. Since its acquisition by Elon Musk, this platform has rapidly transformed into his personal political tool and a breeding ground for hate speech and disinformation. 1/22

I’m again fucking begging anglo media to stop using „Caucasian” to mean „white” ESPECIALLY in any context involving Russia where oppression of actual Caucasians, as in people from ethnic groups inhabiting the Caucasus, is a real ongoing issue.

Both Elon Musk and Christian nationalists call empathy "toxic," "suicidal," and even "satanic." But what they're really worried about is that empathy is *feminine*. And in MAGA, a woman is the worst thing a person can be. An analysis. www.salon.com/2025/04/11/m...

"The command 'To battle!' can be given at any moment." - The crew of a 122-mm D-30 howitzer from the 3rd Operational Brigade is carrying out its mission in the Pokrovsk sector. www.youtube.com/watch?v=frP5...

Unsurprising. Putin does not want peace because it would: 1. Force a reckoning over why nearly 1 million Russians have died in Ukraine. 2. deconstruct the pro-Putin war culture built in the last 3 years. 3. Force him to deal with 100s of 1000s of demobilized soldiers.

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

Note for editors and producers: Forcing Ukraine to surrender to Russia is not brokering a peace agreement. Taking dictation from the Kremlin is not diplomacy. Betraying our allies is not courage.

fascists are going to be hypocrites until the day they die. so basically theres only one argument that works on them.

After arming FPV drones with shotguns, Ukraine now testing a drone armed with an unguided aviation rocket.

OH YEAH WHO THE FUCK NEEDED AN OFFICE FOR LONG TERM STRATEGIC ANALYSIS ANYWAYS THAT’S SOME LIB BULLSHIT WE HAVE THE WARRIOR ETHOS WOOOOOOOOO FUCK THOSE NERDS AND THEIR BOOK SHIT WE GOT FOX NEWS WOOOOOOOOOOOO Fucking kill me

If Russia successfully interfered in Romanian elections via social media, and we make a theoretical assumption that a similar operation helped elect isolationists in the US to undermine NATO, it would be the most successful intelligence operation in history. Just a theoretical speculation

🧵How Key Figures in Musk’s Orbit Connect to Russia The graph is hard to see so there's a link to a larger version. This is just in case you process visually. It's not really necessary to understand the information. www.mermaidchart.com/raw/25d141e...

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

The debate about US foreign policy goals and military capacity needs to pay more attention to how Trump, Musk and Vance are torching the structural foundations of US global power projection

Zelensky has reportedly left the White House without signing the minerals deal. The agreement appears to be canceled.

Today is a reminder of Zelensky's superhuman stamina and strength. He deflected deeply unfair vile attacks in his 3rd language and kept it together while two bullies threatened his country's existence and repeated the tired but infuriating propaganda tropes of the aggressor.
