Putin is a weak leader. He doesn't understand war and peace. He thinks only in terms of active measures, with no strategic awareness. Putin puppet Trump is a weak leader. He doesn't understand anything about the real world and is lost in his own delusional, malignant narcisism.

North Korea is deploying ballistic missiles to attack Europeans. The missiles have bigger payloads, longer range, and are less accurate than the ballistic missiles the russian terrorist state uses. What are Europeans and Americans doing to stop North Korea? Absolutely nothing.

North Korea has begun deploying a 90-person missile unit with 6 launchers and 120 ballistic missiles to Russia's Voronezh region. Here's what it means ⬇️ 🧵 1/3

Putin puppet Trump is doing everything he can to make russian attacks on Ukraine more destructive and deadly. Trump blocks the sale and licensing of PAC-3 interceptors so russian ballistic missiles get through. Missile strikes are truly russian-American attacks on Ukrainians.

Last night, russian terrorists attacked Europe with 28 missiles and 115 strike UAVs. Ukrainian defenders shot down or suppressed 98 enemy drones. Because Putin puppet Trump supports the russian terrorists and the rest of Europe are cowards, none of the missiles were intercepted.

So they may live, Ukrainian defenders target military and strategic objects in the Russian Federation and temporarily-occupied territory. So they may destroy, Russian invaders target civilians in Ukraine. This is as clear a war of good versus evil there has ever been.

Guiding principles of russian propaganda: Anyone opposing the Soviet Union or the Russian Federation is a Nazi. Any defender of the homeland fighting against russian invaders is a NATO soldier. Anyone speaking or demonstrating against russian war and imperialism is paid by the CIA or the Jews.

Mykhailo Fedorov's anti-corruption reforms for open competition in drone contracts earned him the trust of Ukrainians and Western partners. But he was hated for them by Oleksandr Syrsky and the Old Guard generals around him. Fedorov should head the Ministry of Defence again.

Ukraine’s ousted defense minister took drone contracts away from the generals. Now they may take them back Ukraine opened one-fifth of drone purchases to competition before Fedorov was dismissed. The supplier register survives; open tenders depended on his team. euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/04/u...

A majority of Canadians view the Unites States as the greatest threat to Canada's security. Canadians overwhelmingly support boycotting American goods and travel. The USA has descended into madness along with Trump. With dignity and respect gone, American influence and soft power evaporated.

Ukrainian defenders hit one of the largest Wildberries logistics hubs, this one in Vladimir region on the territory of the russian fascist invaders. The Ukrainians also struck a technical university in Bilhorod where attack UAVs were being assembled and tested.
