"The #russian terrorist state is still the same old threat!" 🤬🤬🤬 From t.me/Pravda_Geras... "The war has not changed #Russia, it has revealed #Russia.. it has shattered all the justifications that allowed people to pretend the old #Russia was becoming something else," said #Latvian_MEP_Richard_Kols

I, for one, find space weapons hilarious and entertaining. USSR did a similar thing, they had built a space laser pistol to give to cosmonauts and strike sattelites with. Now we have rods from god or something. Well, my country has no nukes, so it changes nothing personally.

I've heard you, and I didn't expect you liked longer stuff THAT much.... and, I figure my Acast ads don't pay me much anyways, and from November, it doesn't really matter how many eps per month I make...so yeah, we'll be moving over to this format for the most part.

​''We definitely aren't planning a mass mobilization, but let's wait until after the September elections to see who is right." - Vasily Nebenzya, Russian UN Envoy. ​Translation from Kremlin Vranyo: "Buy your tickets to Georgia right now, because the borders close the second the polling stations do.

This makes me paraphrase Enzo Ferarri and adress the people making our Latvian Influencer Awards: 'Go away, influencer. Peddle your goods and don't think about having real impact' My influence is measured in the resistance of kinetic impact, not likes and shares.

On the evening of August 19, a massive power outage struck central and south-western Moscow. Trams stopped, metro stations on the Orange line went dark, and malls were evacuated. Simultaneously, the internet crashed nationwide. And my doggo turned 1 year old. Life's good.

Russian MoD posted a warning to Ukraine: "As snow on the head. You'll freeze in winter!" Ukrainian MoD responds in the best Radio Yerevan traditions: "We'll warm ourselves with the fire of Russian oil refineries."
