A sensible move. When Russia's refineries are all gone, Russians will be walking.
It's working. Trump has undermined US global influence. The isolationist Trump administration no longer wants the US to be the world leader. China will happily fill the vaccuum.
This? Russia being a party to the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture was an historical error. Russia thought it was about Promotion, not Prevention, of torture.
Will the foreign buyers accept the increase and continue to buy Russian oil seed flax in the same quantities? If not, either exports will collapse, or oil seed flax exporters will absorb the tax. This sounds like bad news for the producers & exporters. It could be good news for foreign producers.

I'm waiting for the Battleship Potemkin to put to sea again! 😂

In spite of what Russia's paid shills say, NATO isn't a risk to Russia; it doesn't need huge defensive forces in the West. In the East, Russia ought to be worried about China eyeing up its lost territories. China may prefer to wait, hoping Russia implodes allowing China to move in at little cost.
If you're right and there are no good options, is ending the war the least worst option for Russia? It would mean deposing Putin, then offering to negotiate an end to the war. At the moment, Russia just seems intent on kicking the can down the road, or should that be up a steepening hill?
If only the Federation Council could think of one really big ticket item they could cancel and solve all of Russia's problems...🤔
Rebuilding the failed USSR, one robbery at a time.
BREAKING: Six leading medical organizations filed a lawsuit on Monday against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the health dept, charging that recent decisions limiting access to vaccines were unscientific and harmful to the public. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/h...

Iran’s stockpile dropped to 0 after Obama made the Iran Deal… until Trump pulled out of it (against the advice of his own Defense Secretary, General Mattis… because he hated Obama) Feels pretty relevant in this moment.
"You are the true Hungary": an open letter to the Hungarian people This letter is a public response to an open letter addressed to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people, initiated and published on 21 June 2025, by Hungarian intellectuals and public figures www.eurointegration.com.ua/eng/articles...
From the 211th day of the #GeorgiaProtests: Onise Tskhadadze, who got arrested in connection with the protests, his father passed away meanwhile his son is in prison. In solidarity with the family, the daily march came in silence and protesters also paid their tribute.
Is the failure of Economic Mobilization Plans the secret? 🤔
Deep in his Führerbunker, Putin is detached from reality and grasping at straws to save Russia's economy. The only viable proposal would start like this: Step 1: Depose Putin. (Kill him, or hand him over to The Hague). Step 2: Exit Russia's failed war in Ukraine. ...
Those enemies of the US, Iran and Russia, were already 'united'. Iranian supplied large numbers of Shahed drones to Russia to help it murder Ukrainian civilians. I doubt Russia will want to get involved in Iran. Over 1200 days into its 3-Day Special Military Operation, Russia is losing to Ukraine.
"those pics were at a DALLAS cowboys party thrown by the owner after a COWBOYS SB win" And Trump changed his tie several times at that party? Really?! 🤔 But, OK. That's cool. There shouldn't be any further delay, then. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!!!! www.livemint.com/news/us-news...
One of the most important agreements of all time. It brings Canada into the Article 42.7 and Article 222 framework. It also includes Canada into the European Defence Fund. It is a new dawn. www.ctvnews.ca/canada/artic...

Because businesses famously tax stability? 🤔
She could be the one chosen to help Trump through the final stages of dementia. I doubt it's in Melania's contract.
Can someone ask her to delete that post? The more time Trump spends on the golf course, the less time he's wrecking something else. Those taxpayers' millions are well spent!
This should have been a warning not to let RFJ Jr. anywhere near HHS. Vaccine specialist Dr. Paul Offit says RFK Jr. is directly responsible for the deaths of 83 people in Samoa, most of whom were young children, due to his role in depressing vaccination rates on the island. fb.watch/AltbzNnIuu/
Andrew Bailey (governor of the Bank of England) came to #Kyiv to give a lecture at #NBU research conference: "I am quite simply in awe of what Ukraine confronts as a nation, what you face as a central bank, & how you have conducted yourselves during these most difficult of times." #UkrainianView
Russia's National Wealth Fund has been squandered on propping up Putin's 3-Day SMO. All to keep a failed war going & Putin in power. All Russians have got back from spending the liquid component of their sovereign wealth fund is death, bloodshed, isolation & failure. Their prospect is bleak.
Here's Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov providing strong evidence in favor of your point. His Indian audience laughed!
Thanks. Very true!

Day 204 of daily, nationwide protests in Georgia. Rustaveli Avenue is blocked once again. Protests continue in 8+ cities. ✊🇬🇪
Putin has his 3-Day Special Military Operations. TACO man has his biglier 2 week deadlines...
Like the "tough guy" dictators he so admires, Trump has surrounded himself with sycophants. They tell Trump what he wants hear, not what he needs to hear. This was vomit inducing. 🤮
😂 I'm thinking that will work out something like this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9c3...
Meanwhile..
Day 204 of the #GeorgiaProtests
Trump promised something big was coming - and he delivered! 😂😂😂
The apparent contradiction in policies could be understood if Trump is in fealty to both Putin and Netanyahu...
So, when Trump wrote that he had to leave the G7 summit to return to Washington for something 'much bigger' than a cease fire, and to 'Stay Tuned!', was that his new flagpoles?🤔
On past form, one might reasonably surmise that Trump will will yield to pressure from Putin to come to Russia’s rescue. Trump may frame this as a necessary part of a mythical peace process. Trump may be able to block new sanctions. I’m not sure he can persuade Congress to remove existing ones.
Will there come a point when the Russian military command realise that have to choose between a grossly incompetent Putin and a competent Nabiullina?🤔 Logic says Putin's war in Ukraine has failed to achieve its objectives and is, instead, destroying Russia.
‼️ Russia: “Nabiullina announced the exhaustion of the last resources of the Russian economy” 😈 Yes And the reality may be even worse than we expect. www.moscowtimes.ru/2025/06/19/n...
Putin is a bloodthirsty duplicitous mass murderer, but he's not totally stupid.
He must know he's talking nonsnse. I suppose lying is part of his job description. The alternative is falling from a window, or a transfer to Russia's disaster of a war in Ukraine.
Nobody that I personally know or follow on social media who has been supporting Ukraine the last 3.5 years has stopped supporting Ukraine. Literally nobody. Russia continues to lose allies and supporters every day. Continue supporting Ukraine! Russia will be defeated!
That's situation..🧐🤫
Why is it an over reaction? Operation Spider's Web was a major blow against Russia's strategic bomber force, a PR triumph for Ukraine and an embarrassment for Russia. After this proof of concept, many other targets are vulnerable. Russia has been forced to guard against a repeat, at a cost.
Operation Spidersweb continues giving.🙂
Thanks. The Baikal program predates sanctions that followed Russia’s full 2022 invasion of Ukraine. Were there no existing foreign aircraft that could do the job cheaper? Does the war and sanctions may mean Russia is now locked into a project that isn’t financially viable?
Is Baikal another Putin vanity project, like the war? I can't see why else Russia is doing something that is doomed to fail.
"some russian sources have suggested using the same methods that allowed them to bail out the Sukhoi Superjet 100 back in the day — namely, government subsidies for production, purchase incentives, grace periods, etc. " Because the Russian goverment has lots of spare cash?!🤔
Modified meme. Credit is due to whoever produced the original.
🚨 "There have never been so many before." Russian soldiers surrender en masse on the eastern front in recent months. Ukrainian units are "oversaturated" with captured prisoners — many from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Armenia, Tajikistan collected in cannon fodder raids in Russia.
TACO Trump or Traitor Trump? The result is the same.
