Man, if Putin had told Trump exactly what he wanted the US to do to help Iran and Russia and hurt Ukraine, it would have been exactly what Trump did in his war. This is a Russian strategic dream we are watching.

Russia is killing Kramatorsk, just like they killed most of the Donbas, the exact land they came to "liberate." They erase entire towns, reducing them to dust. That is the true "Russian world."
The first review of my next book, "American Overthrow", on Russia's long-term programme of political subversion of the USA. It's a heartfelt one, because it's by Heidi Cuda, who has spent many years watching Russia succeed. (Link to book in first reply.) www.bettedangerous.com/p/american-o...

A Russian drone completely burned down the Holy Protection Church (Sviato-Vvedenska) in Boryslav, Kherson region, built in 1726. The church was an architectural monument of national significance and one of the few surviving examples of Cossack wooden sacral architecture.
Russian "human safari" in Kherson continues. Police have released footage showing Russians using a drone to hunt a civilian in the city. The victim is a 52-year-old market vendor from the Mykolaiv region, who suffered a blast injury, shrapnel wounds, and a concussion.
1/5 The endless obsession with NATO ”expansion” hides a massive double standard regarding the CSTO. CSTO expansion was always a far greater threat to its neighbors than NATO ever was to Russia, as proven by Moscow’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine

Russians stopped at a café in Georgia, where a sign on the door reads: "By entering our restaurant you agree that Putin is a war criminal and respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, Ukraine and Moldova." They didn't know "what to make of it" and thought it was a joke.
Stop expecting Washington's tariffs to end the war in Ukraine. Western leaders must face reality: only sustained European defense production and direct military aid to Kyiv will force Putin to stop. (Read on — 🧵 1/15)
They are fighting fantasy wars in their heads and all the while they are losing badly to a country without a Navy and and Air Force.

Ukraine is on Day 38 of its pressure campaign to force Russia to negotiate an ending to this war. Russia has given no indication they are willing to stop the war so Ukraine must continue deep strikes into Russia to make the war feel real for the average Russian.
