@Jaybird404Z @AtilaThePun @Gerashchenko_en If Russia holds all of the cards, how come they haven’t won yet? How come “New Russia” is shrinking in size every month, despite another 35-40k Russian casualties?

@BobGreenbe @jurgen_nauditt Fewer, but more targeted on military or dual use; not many hospitals, shopping malls, apartment blocks, kindergartens etc.

@Mary10102000 @jurgen_nauditt After the end of WW2, the Soviet Union took advantage of Japan’s weakness to seize a bunch of their islands, in contravention of a non-aggression pact. Because, as Ukraine knows, a Kremlin signature on an agreement is worthless.

Specialists from Ukraine’s Special Operations Forces found that most Russian soldiers captured by Ukrainian Forces in Zaporizhzhia region have their military ID numbers tattooed on their bodies. They are forcibly marked upon arrival at a training ground.

Such tattoos are reportedly given to soldiers assigned to "meat assaults" sent to slaughter. Since Russian commanders understand that these soldiers will die shortly after being sent into combat, no one spends time or resources issuing them metal ID tags.

Most POWs said that during their service, they faced forced deployments to assault positions while wounded, threats to "zero them out" if they refused, as well as "flag-planting" missions - attempts to raise a Russian flag in the territory controlled by Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

The majority of these Russian servicemen were captured between 10 days and one month after signing their contracts.

The pattern has been observed in Russia’s 36th, 37th, 38th, and 39th motorized rifle brigades; 5th tank brigade; and the 70th, 114th, and 135th motorized rifle regiments.

For Russian soldiers, such a mark is a death sentence. The only way to escape it and survive is to flee immediately or surrender to Ukraine’s Defense Forces.

@BohuslavskaKate Vance is a euro-hating, Russia-loving, idiot - and probably the next Leader of the Free World. Strange times.

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA I guess, had this happened in China, the Police would have arrested the workers, beating them up as necessary.

@Gerashchenko_en I guess they’re used to a Duma which does what the President tells them.

Russian pro-war Telegram author Kalashnikov reacts to Putin’s claim that Russia now ranks #1 in Europe by PPP GDP (only behind US, China & India):

“So we outproduce Brazil, South Korea, Germany, Canada, Spain and Italy? We make industrial robots like the Germans and Koreans? World-class cars by the millions? Hundreds of passenger jets a year like Embraer or Bombardier? Hundreds of ships like the Koreans? Our own machine tools cheaper than American ones at PPP rates?

In reality Russia’s economy is Italy spread across 1/7 of the Earth’s landmass — roughly $2.5 trillion. Spreading these PPP fairy tales only destroys the authority of the top leadership. If his inner circle actually believes this stuff, we’re in trouble.”

[Julian Kelly @JulianKelly88]

@RobPoliFut @Maks_NAFO_FELLA By Russia collapsing & conflict ends with a “Korea-style” freezing of the front line, which becomes a de facto international frontier, without a peace treaty. Ukraine survives as a sovereign state.

@MidnightRider30 @NOELreports Actually Iran’s ally Russia plays the victim just as much. The scumbags deserve each other.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

A Russian woman summed up the interim results of Putin's "special military operation":

"There's no internet, no gasoline, no foreign brands, no foreign investment, no independent media. Our foreign currency reserves are gone, the stock market has crashed, small businesses are shutting down, large businesses are suffering losses, visas are hard to get, and getting a passport is becoming increasingly difficult.

But we do have harsh censorship, political prisoners, daily strikes on Russian territory, fear for the present, fear for the future...

And, of course, greatness."

I need to tell you something that makes me angrier than anything else in medicine.

60 randomized controlled trials. 323,950 patients. Every cholesterol-lowering drug ever made. Statins. PCSK9 inhibitors. Ezetimibe.

One question. Did lowering LDL cholesterol make people live longer?

Look at the chart. Every dot is a trial. The red line is zero benefit. If these drugs saved lives, the dots would be above the line.

They are not. They reduced LDL by up to 80%. Nobody was saved.

But that is not what makes me angry.

What makes me angry is that millions of people believe they are safe because their LDL is low. Their doctor says "your numbers look great." They go home and never think about it again.

Meanwhile the 12 things that actually cause heart disease are silently building inside them. Nobody is checking. Nobody is testing. Because a cholesterol number gave everyone a false sense of security.

That is not a failure of medicine. That is a fraud.

🚨 Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined.

Every year, 1 in 3 women dies from cardiovascular disease, yet 80% of women still believe cancer is their biggest threat.

The data says otherwise.

🫀 Women's heart attacks do not look like the movies.

No crushing chest pain. No left arm shooting down. Instead, women present with jaw pain, nausea, fatigue, and shortness of breath. Cardiologists miss it. ERs send them home. And women die from a disease they never knew they had.

This is why women need to pay attention.

🔬 Here is what the science actually says.

Women develop cardiovascular disease 7 to 10 years later than men on average. But once a woman has a heart attack, her 30-day mortality rate is higher than a man's. Her symptoms get dismissed 50% more often in emergency settings. She is less likely to receive guideline-directed therapy after an acute coronary event.

That is not a biology problem. That is a recognition problem.

💓 Female-specific risk factors that most doctors never ask about:

✅ Preeclampsia doubles lifetime cardiovascular risk.

✅ Premature menopause before age 40 increases risk by 40%.

✅ Polycystic ovary syndrome triples the risk of heart attack in women under 50.

✅ Autoimmune conditions like lupus and rheumatoid arthritis carry cardiac risk equivalent to smoking.

⚠️ The standard treadmill stress test misses coronary artery disease in women up to 67% of the time.

Women need different testing. Coronary artery calcium scoring, cardiac CT angiography, and stress echocardiography perform far better in female patients than exercise ECG alone.

🩺 Know your numbers. All of them.

LDL cholesterol. ApoB. Lp(a). Blood pressure. Fasting glucose. hs-CRP. Triglycerides.

Lp(a) is inherited, does not respond to statins, and affects 1 in 5 people. Women with elevated Lp(a) face dramatically higher cardiovascular risk after menopause when estrogen drops and inflammation rises. Most women have never had this test ordered.

❌ Hormone replacement therapy alone will not save you.

❌ Calcium supplements alone will not save you.

❌ Wishful thinking about your family history will not save you.

"The tools with the strongest data are unsexy, free, and require your participation."

Blood pressure control. Lipid management. Blood sugar regulation. No smoking. Regular movement. Sleep. These are the interventions that cut cardiovascular mortality in women by up to 80%.

❤️ Bottom line:

Heart disease is not a man's disease. It is the number one killer of women in America, and it is largely preventable.

A woman who knows her ApoB, screens her Lp(a), controls her blood pressure to under 120 systolic, and exercises 150 minutes per week can reduce her cardiac event risk by 80% over the next 10 years.

That is the difference between surviving menopause and dying from a heart attack at 62 that everyone called unexpected.

Ask your doctor for a complete cardiovascular risk panel. Not a basic cholesterol panel. A complete one.

The question is no longer whether women get heart disease. The question is whether your doctor is looking for it correctly.
