Passport to buy a lighter? Not even going to make a joke about the no drivers with mental disorders. How will they define that? If it’s depression then it will solve the gas crisis because no one will be able to drive.
And no USAID purchases, that’s must bite.
Students of the Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky School have returned to their studies! Thank you to everyone who has helped these children celebrate Knowledge Day in their classrooms❤️ u24.gov.ua/donate/educa...
There’s a whole world of absurdity out there I didn’t know about!

That’s so well said.
Great summary. Wish with all my heart that this kind of work would appear on the BBC, or CBC which is also crap, or CNN or any of the big western media who are so influenced by journalists & experts who have an endless “Russia is unbeatable/ Ukraine is crumbling” bias.
With Russia's air defenses now allocated to protecting Putin's palaces, Ukraine is just laying waste to any high value target they choose. youtu.be/F0q2KwBMjOs?...
⬇️ According to @marikamikiashvili.bsky.social , the repressive tactics of the illegitimate regime are about to take a serious turn for the worse. Keep an eye on Georgia 🇬🇪 in the coming days. 👀 🇬🇪🇪🇺❗️ 👇
I can see why!
“One flew over the cuckoos nest” looking attendants.
You’re making this up…
What a disgrace. Will anyone even see the performances? Do U.S or Euro even cover it?
“Apology” makes me want to kick him harder.
I hope people keep trolling hard. What a jerk.
The US disaster with India is so profoundly stupid and venal that I have written this short and free piece about it, if you want to read more. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...
Following recent repeated GPS jamming incidents, EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius said that the EU will launch additional satellites into low Earth orbit to strengthen resistance against GPS interference and improve its ability to detect it.
This is the great "success" of the Trump Administration. It gave legitimacy to Putin and brought India closer to Russia and China. While America makes elementary mistakes, the Axis of Destabilization is consolidating.
Fantastic
"So that you will learn by experience that I do not tolerate interference, I will now detonate the nuclear warheads in the two missile silos. Let this action be a lesson that need not be repeated." AI has always haunted our nightmares. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Maybe not all of the diaspora, but I’d love to know how many actually think Russia should keep the occupied territories. To my mind anyone who supports this is not anti Putin or anti war.
Is it putin’s russia or russia’s putin? What do you think? open.substack.com/pub/chakhoya...
Make no mistake, a failure to help Ukraine defeat the moscow-centered terrorist enterprise (aka russia) in Ukraine, elevates the risk of a nuclear confrontation multifold! Strength, resolve, and restoration of deterrence brings such a risk down! #ArmUkraineToWin!
I have come to really embrace Europe's greens over the last 4 years. Defenders of European Democracy, and the enemies of tyrants around the world. In contrast, American Greens are a Stalinist Sewer.
Hope you’re right!
Because I think Vance will be 1000 times worse. He’s smarter & not so easily manipulated as Trump.
How will he be deposed?
That’s for sure! Many in Old Eur would love to see Ukraine partitioned & get back to business making sweet money with Russia.
No not critical of Kallas, really I think she’s absolutely heroic & very wise about Russia. If the West had listened to her in the beginning we wouldn’t be in this mess now. Just making joke that I wish she could have been there to have “javelined the jammers”.
It’s true, Kallas is a powerhouse & unwieldiness of EU is infamous.
people who have failed to qualify to stay but can’t be deported are an open sore. More grist for the anti immigration sentiments.
If only! Where is Kallas & her Javelin when you need her?
Oh, good. I think I misunderstood what you said about the russian invasion being “nuanced” & not “black & white”. I thought you were defending Russia.
Never.
Planes are already banned 🙄 I forgot. How about helping Ukraine take out the jammers & then everyone plays dumb when Russia protests. Turn their own sabotage methods back against them.
Yes, you’re right. Eur should help Ukraine take them out & then play dumb when Russia protests. That would be the best. Maybe also finally ban visas for Russians, expel the families of Russian officials, confine Russian diplomats to country they work in? Life is way too comfortable for 🇷🇺s in Eur.
Hit the jammers, or ground all planes out of Russia. No reaction can be as bad as an over reaction. By seeming to allow the Russian sabotage, Eur governments look weak. People become disgusted & fed up with “impotent democracy” & authoritarian politicians exploit this frustration to gain power.
YES!! A non reaction is more dangerous than an over reaction. By not reacting to anything Russia does in Eur, no matter how serious, Eur governments look weak. People become disgusted & fed up with impotent democracy & look for “strong” leaders. This is part what brings authoritarians to power.
The plane carrying EU top Ursula von der Leyen was forced to land manually after being hit by GPS/GNSS jamming. News texts seem to indicate it was directed specifically at Von der Leyen and the airport Plovdiv. "GPS around airport was knocked out for an hour."
Oh, would murdering the President of the EU Commission be a provocation? Maybe Ukraine will take out the jamming devices.
Bee taking a nap.. 😅
⬇️ Hot off the press, it’s my Sunday DFN! Daily Fella and I are simpatico in seeing the grift behind Trump’s plans for post-war “security & reconstruction” efforts in Ukraine. He also drops a dime on 🇨🇳’s help in 🇷🇺 drone production and trumpets several successful 🇺🇦 hits in Crimea (🦩💥)! 👇 🇺🇦💙💛
Alberta used to have one of the best education systems in Canada. As recently as 2022 PISA data shows Alberta students ranking first in Canada for science and reading, and second in math. Watch those scores plummet with Maple MAGA in charge. Daniele Smith loves the uneducated.
🔥 Volgograd, Russia. Formerly Stalingrad.
Would be great if Trump admin lost though!
Except the Supreme Court is bought & paid for by Trump Inc, so..what are the chances it will rule in favour of the law & against the admin?

This aggressive slob, I’m glad to see he was found out so quickly.
This is what we need to see on CNN, the BBC & other big western media, instead of dreck about Ukraine “crumbling” and other nonsense from an endless stream former/ present Moscow based correspondents & Russophile think tank(ie) academics.
Seriously, the good ol days.
I know many of you were worried about Jessica - dog that lost her human friend in Russian missile attack on Kyiv - happy to share she found new home ❤️🩹 with emergency rescuers . ‘She has a new big family! She will live with us: outside the city, in nature, in love and
In response to Russia’s strike on Kyiv, France and Germany have agreed to supply Ukraine with additional air defense systems and are advocating for secondary sanctions against Russia. ubn.news/in-response-...
How beautiful it is. 🔥 Burn it all. Burn it to the ground.
We need to see this is the big western media, instead of dreck about “Ukraine crumbling” & “Russia advancing”.
“Asymmetry. Chaos. Informality. Deniability. Risk. Cynicism. Capture. Guerrilla (the use of irregular forces). These are Russian strengths because of Russian weakness. They have to do these things. And these are areas where democracies are extremely uncomfortable operating.”
⬇️ Day 277 of the continuous protests in Georgia 🇬🇪 as the people seek an end to the illegitimate Russian-backed regime! Fewer flags than usual, but you can sense their determination as they chant “until the end”! 👇 🇬🇪🇪🇺❗️
“If Trump returns to power we would have “a global system dominated by three great powers, none of whom think of smaller powers as having an appropriate role.” Looks right on target.
congrats to the folks saying Kamala wouldn’t have been better, you da real anti-imperialist mvps
ameriKKKa seems to want to annex all of the Arctic east of Alaska all the way through Canada's Arctic and then to Greenland. Canada would be cut off....
Digital tokens. They’re gonna put genocide on the blockchain. Crypto grifter-style ethnic cleansing.
COD only when dealing with Trump cartel
Can’t help but feel that Trump will take the $850 million but the weapons will never reach Ukraine.
It will last as long as it takes for Ukraine to destroy oil & gas infrastructure & military inside Russia. Germany is funding heavily the development of these long range weapons needed.
The three big question marks surrounding the Flamingo: scalability of production, survivability, and accuracy. Let’s see if higher-resolution pictures can provide some indication of how far the missile missed its likely nominal aimpoint.
Range is only one factor that determines use of projectile. If stated specifications are correct, the Flamingo is faster than any other Ukrainian long-range strike weapon currently in its arsenal (except ATACMS if there are still any left). It also has a significantly higher payload.
They can spend the money better by sending “very serious” EU funds to Ukraine which is the best hope of stopping Russia. The only hope really.
Cheers!
Thanks, I’ll look him up!

Amazing article 👇 worth reading and in plenty of alignment with the times
The myth of “great #russianCulture” is not innocent. It props up the regime, excuses the “little person” who takes no responsibility, and infantilizes society into helplessness. Culture is not above russia's war but its integral part. krytyka.com/en/articles/...

Insanity on steroids
Exactly. Live in Europe, hate Ukraine, support Russian aggression.
Think about the people that could still be alive… 🤬 Today we talked with a Russian woman who has supported Ukraine since 2014 and provides intelligence data. She voiced a rather logical point: "If the US and the EU had spent even 0.00001% of the funds from the amount that went to the ancillary costs
Will it be good for Ukraine if Putin starts mass executions of Russian military? Stalin here we come..
And I find it odd that the majority of people don't see his policies from the perspective of his treason. russians aren't killing people in America with bombs like they do in Ukraine, but by destroying their healthcare, environment, education, defense, and foundations of their society.

With another Thiel goon as director in charge, g-d help us.
Russia is losing. Please don’t give up on Ukraine. Just close the skies over Ukraine…”so commercial airplanes can fly” and fund 🦩production to bomb the hell out of Russian oil & gas.
Kremlin stakes everything on bankrolling a pro Russian victory in the Sept election & dragging Moldova back into the Russkiy Mir swamp. Hope for a democratic victory that will allow a purge of Russians in Transnistria & a bright future for its people with Moldova.
Yes, this is what I was looking for!
"Russia’s failure to resist Putin’s mafia takeover and Ukraine’s success in fighting back against it contain many useful lessons for Americans and anyone else who risks taking their rights and freedoms for granted." www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...
Yes!! Thank you so much, Omnia!
Shoot, can’t find a post that looked great, about the way in which Ukraine’s targeting of Russian oil is similar to the way in which the allies in WW2 targeted Nazi Germnay. Anyone see it?
Moldova’s EU integration path: a plan to reintegrate Transnistria amid critical elections
www.rawstory.com/raw-investig... Hmm...I'm revising my opinion of Barry Goldwater's 1964 statement: "Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice. Moderation in pursuit of justice is no virtue."
Seriously. Goldwater was clearly on to something.
Interesting and reasonable analysis. Also lessons about how authoritarian patrimonialism works in general. This is the system MAGA is implanting in the US.
Hi all, I just published my latest Substack post. With recent focus on Ukrainian missiles, from Flamingo to "Long Neptune" and others, I thought I'd provide context by tracing the evolution of Ukraine's missile programs. Short summary below. missilematters.substack.com/p/ukraines-... 1/6
OBrien nails it 👇 "The last 3 weeks indicated not massive problems with 🇺🇦 manpower but more massive problems with how the war is viewed by the press & analytical community. Sadly, no signs that it is going to get better—and it matters, because 🇺🇦 [is] coming under massive pressure to cede land to 🇷🇺"
This - @phillipspobrien.bsky.social has been trying to shake media analysts out of their stupidity about Russia's war for over 3 years but sadly they still cling to the nonsense that's become central to Rusamerican policy in Europe: tl;dr - throw us to 🇷🇺 like dogmeat 👇
Journalism & academia are heaving with Russophiles who have lived, studied & worked in Moscow. Conflating “anti-Putin” & “no war” with support for Ukraine is also 100% incorrect. No one listens to Ukrainians or E Euros because they are “biased”.
The glorious future that awaits Russians when the war economy collapses and thousands of violent dysfunctional soldiers return from Ukraine, accustomed to murdering and torture for fun & profit. And who will want to help Russia? No one. Excellent work from Chriso, as always.
