5/5 Air defense alone will not stop the onslaught. Allies must supply long-range cruise missiles to destroy Russian defense factories and allow Starlink usage inside Russian territory to target launchers. Decisive action now can dismantle Putin’s terror strategy

1/5 Putin cannot win on the front lines, so he has engineered a terrifying new theory of victory. Ukraine’s allies are pathetic cowards and Putin knows it. With his army stalling, he is betting everything on raining ballistic missiles onto Ukrainian cities while the West watches
The world must not become numb to Russіаns hunting civilians. In Kherson, a Russian fiber-optic FPV drone chased and then аttаcked a fruit vendor who had come to the market that morning to sell his produce. The 52-year-old man suffered blast injuries, a concussion, and shrapnel wounds.
I have been reading Amara Graps’ latest piece on the Soviet takeover of the Baltic states. It is an extraordinary piece of historical work, but it left me thinking about something that bothers me for a long time. nafoforum.org/magazi...
🧵 A thread by 🇫🇮 Tomi @tomifin.bsky.social on X In the 1930s, thousands of 🇫🇮 Finns moved to the Soviet Union. They went off to build a paradise, blinded by propaganda. Within just a few years, thousands of them would become victims of Stalin's Great Terror.
The GOP’s message is unmistakable: serve the public and you will be hunted; serve the powerful and you will be protected.
If you cannot accept that what Trump has done over the last year and a half is starve Ukraine of air defense, and put off any new aid for as long as possible, so Putin can terrorize Ukraine from the air for as long as possible--you cannot accept reality.
An agricultural catastrophe continues to unfold in Russia, with a collapse in grain prices due to logistics difficulties now coinciding with a 300% rise in fuel prices has many farmers abandoning crops rather than to spend on harvesting.
The Wildberries logistics hub in Ryazan, Russia, is basically gone. There is nothing to salvage here.
In the past week, Russia denied they are planning: 🔹Exit visas 🔹A new Iron Curtain 🔹Another mobilization after the September election Expect them to deny plans for martial law shortly. Reminder: "Do not believe *anything* until the Kremlin denies it ™" -- @darthputinkgb.bsky.social
We actually had the 16th highest mortality rate in the world and it largely resulted from the ignorant asshats who were *resisting* the common sense protection measures Fauci was promoting like masking and distancing. What a colossal asshole.
RFK Jr: "Because of Dr Fauci's leadership and other reasons, we had the highest mortality rate from covid of any country in the world" #OtherReasons 🙃
"Spare me the humiliation theory. russia was not humiliated after the Cold War. It was indulged — and it read every kindness as weakness, every gift as tribute. The grievance was never mistreatment. The grievance was lost dominion."
Putin threw himself a Navy Day parade without a fleet. Instead, he settled for a giant printed picture of a submarine.
1/ Wildberries sellers are generally blaming the Russian government, rather than Ukraine, for their losses. It's an interesting and striking dynamic, which Russian warbloggers say the Russian government itself has created through its suppression of bad news. ⬇️

Problem is how to do that without causing an ecological disaster in the very fragile Baltic Sea. NB8 warned about causing such a thing, and Ukraine obviously listened carefully. So far they have been excellent at hitting the parts that can be safely hit.

It will get for Russians far worse. They already lost the war, but they can lose far more than that. Each day they refuse to the unconditional ceasefire, which has been offered to them several times, more of their future will be chipped away, until nothing will be left.
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.
Every so often I get to think of something that is not awful. I interviewed Henry freaking Rollins about his quest with Ian MacKaye and a few other schemers to revive Vengeance Records, The Cramps’ record label: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
How two punk icons are giving the Cramps a second life

Trump asking whether he (President Zelenskyy) would go to Moscow, who then responds: „It is difficult to go to Moscow thanks to the many Ukrainian drones. (…) It is too dangerous.“ I almost fell from my chair laughing.
1/ A country that beheads enemy soldiers has no place in the Olympics. A country that rapes and tortures civilians and POWs has no place in the Olympics. A country that bombs children’s hospitals, then strikes again when medics arrive, has no place in the Olympics.
Day 1595 of my 3 day war. To prevent imperialists discovering location of my front line bunker in Moscow, we camouflaged the inside of it. I remain a master strategist.
Are you proud of this professor of yours helping Kremlin imperialists in their illegal war against Ukraine?
Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.
"Where the f*ck is all this heading? Why is this sh*t happening? There’s no gasoline in Moscow! How is that even possible?" The fuel crisis continues to spread across Russia. Restrictions on gasoline and diesel sales have now been officially introduced in 22 regions,
Ukrainian drones are ineffective cos Russian surface to air missile went air to surface to make an oil terminal surface to air. I remain a master strategist.
