At least i know where to find everyone for the mobilisation, they're queuing for fuel. The problem is, cos there's no fuel, they're immobilised. I remain a master strategist.

One year ago UN said it was indeed us who shelled & killed Ukrainian POWs at Olenivka. This was absolutely not cos we had tortured them so badly that releasing them would've shamed even us. You'd think this would be big news.

OTD in 2022 Kremlin spokesman said "Russia has never attacked anyone in its history". Russia became the world's largest country by entirely peaceful means. 4 days later we invaded Ukraine.

Russland wäre viel glaubwürdiger mit den Ankündigungen, niemanden angreifen zu wollen, wenn Russland damit aufhören würde, andere anzugreifen.

Nico Lange@nicolange.bsky.social

Wenn Russland jetzt eine „Nichtangriffsgarantie“ gegen EU und NATO geben will, sollte man bedenken, dass der Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine nach offizieller russischer Lesart „Verteidigung“ ist. Die wahre Nichtangriffsgarantie wäre, wenn Russland in seine Grenzen zurückkehrt.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll cover the agenda-setting and flood of disinformation that spread on X and other platforms right after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. It’s far from the first or last time a tragedy has been weaponized for political purposes. 1/18

Putin has committed the Russian state to a global war on democracy. The existence of any nation that has free and fair elections is now seen as a threat to the power and control of any dictator at home.

I agree with this about Putin. He has locked himself into a position that leads to the destruction of Russia. The West is still living in a dream world about a reasonable, realistic Russia that can be negotiated with.

He is not risking everything. He has no other choice if he wants to survive. He will never never give up the chosen path. Thinking about peace is western dreaming without any realism nor evidence.

Thanks to Trump, Russia has 50 days to keep hammering Ukrainian civilians with impunity…

The Kyiv Independent@kyivindependent.com

⚡️Mass attack hits cities overnight as Ukrainians brace for 50 more days of Russian terror. In Kharkiv, at least 17 explosions rocked the city in 20 minutes amid a massive Russian drone strike. Explosions, power outages, and mass strikes have been reported in multiple cities.

It’s exactly two weeks now since Trump said he needed two weeks to decide if he was going to sanction Russia more harshly. I’m sure we will get an announcement very soon….

Phillips OBrien@phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Just a reminder--it was 13 days ago that Donald Trump said he needed two weeks to decide whether to push for harder sanctions on Russia. When he, inevitably, fails to do so--can we have a retraction published for every story/commentary that took his BS on this seriously?
