Yesterday, Zelensky’s propagandists were claiming that Russia’s economy is collapsing and that Putin is running out of money for the war. Today, they’re all whining that Russia spent hundreds of millions last night bombing Ukraine. These people are getting dumber every day.

🇷🇺🇺🇦🇨🇴 Russian soldiers caught a Colombian mercenary fighting for Ukraine.
“Welcome to Russia, my friend.”
“You’re my little medal.”
Russian units spotted a group sneaking up for an ambush, prevented the attack, killed most of the group, and took this lucky guy prisoner.
He is crazy lucky because the official (open) order is not to take mercenaries prisoner. Since he’s filmed alive, it means he’s officially a POW and will be okay, not shot.
🇮🇷 "Our southern neighbors mistakenly believed that America would be their savior on a day of crisis, but it became clear that Washington cannot even defend its own bases."
— Member of the National Security Committee of Iran's Parliament, Boroujerdi
Trump openly brags how under his command the "greatest and most powerful country on Earth" has descended into the state of lawless piracy and how profitable it is.
And then people clapped.
🛢️🇮🇷 TRUTH:
Iran is now moving millions of barrels crude oil via railway to friendly countries and they move these shipments faster 14days vs 40 days on a ship.
Iran is making TONS AND TONS of money at this moment, their economy is on fire.
The Trump Hormuz blockage is isn't working, it FAILED.
Once again the Iranians outsmarted the aggressors on the chessboard.
THE U.S. WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO STOP IRAN'S OIL EXPORTS!
