In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an Austrian journalist, Christian Wehrschütz (@Wehrschu).
He's best-known for supporting and spreading pro-Kremlin narratives on the Russo-Ukrainian War.

@MarioNawfal Why are we twisting it? Of course it is bad for russia. It shows that they have major issues to deal with. I am sorry Jessica needs to even explain it. Let's stop making russia look stronger and better than it is.
These are comments some Russians made regarding the missile strike on Chernihiv:
"We should have hit the Drama Theater with another Iskander missile to kill the survivors. Not enough."
"We thank our valiant missile men for their masterful work. One thing I ask Russian missile men: Finish the survivors. Finish them off. After one Iskander, send another one to the same place. Finish the survivors so that there are none left. 🙏🏻
Glory to Russian arms, glory to Iskander missile. 🚀"
"The more Ukrainian children die, the faster we will win.
Be Good, Glory to Russia!"
"I am giving Ukrainians a hint: next time make a drone exhibition in a school or a kindergarten so that Iskander will hit the exact target there. You will get only bonuses from the dead Ukrainians. For example, you will get a chance to howl at the whole world and ask for pennies from the West begging for sympathy. At the same time roll the most gorgeous funeral to the envy of the world. Just imagine what kind of holiday it will be for all of you, where you can theatrically wring your hands, and have a great weekend in the fresh air. In fact, I'm already regretting giving you this brilliant idea. Don't thank me!"
It's good for the US to weaken Russia by supporting Ukraine which is singlehandedly and successfully defending Europe. Some say USA has a history of isolationism. Take WW2 of letting Nazies decimate Europe. Now, it is about russian #ruscism. More American people need to wake up.

“The Russians mine everything. Open doors, boxes & crates, even toys,"
Even their own dead: "They know that our med-evac groups lift the wounded & the dead, under which they then find these explosives." #russianculture
My name is Lyudmila Huseynova. I am 61 years old. I was in russian captivity for more than three years. I was arrested in the occupied territory in the city of Novoazovsk. It happened on Oct 9, 2019. The car just stopped in the street. They jumped out, shoved me into that car.1/5
Here’s a photo of the “neutral” Smirnova with her brother who serves in the Russian army. And BTW guess who’s the president of @FIE_fencing? Oh yes, Russian oligarch Alisher Usmanov.
Sports outside of politics? Hm.
Anna Smirnova lost the fair competition and decided to play dirty with the handshake show. This is exactly how Russian army acts on the battlefield. Olha Kharlan won the fair competition and showed dignity. I urge @FIE_fencing to restore Kharlan’s rights and allow her to compete.
@victoriaslog More people start understanding #ruscism and that it is a predominant characteristic of the Russian people's political behavior and views in russia and outside of it. You are right, though. There are still too many that hold this naive and outrageously inaccurate view.
Russia is attempting to control everything in Syria, They are trying to alter the Syrian composition by naturalizing many Russians and granting them Syrian citizenship. They falsified the data of five Russian women to play for the Syrian national team in the Arab Games in Algeria, This is a crime. Russia is attempting to erase our history.
Russia does whatever they want in Syria with the approval of the criminal Bashar al-Assad. Putin's spoiled child.
Putin and Assad are war criminals.
Putin admitted that Wagner PMC was financed from Russian federal budget. So it means that all Western companies who remain in Russia and pay taxes there, took part in financing one of the most violent gang of thugs in the 21st century?
Some of the Western brands who continue working in Russia:
And not that long ago, the West was humbly and uselessly trying to please this joke of a human being and his joke of a leadership system that’s now breaking down like a house of cards.
I truly hope that this is going to be a sad lesson for the future - appeasement & kneeling down to warmongering dictators inevitably only make things worse.
They will always want more - unless they get a good old punch in the face before too long.
Imagine how much of this insanity could have been avoided had there been enough guts to say no to the deal with the devil and do what is right.
⚡️⚡️ Caesar's address on the Prigozhin situation.
I have the honor!
Interesting events are unfolding in the expanses of our homeland and they are very reminiscent of the troubled times of a century ago. The stupid, corrupt and incompetent military-political top of Putin's Russia turns hundreds of thousands of men into mincemeat.
Evgeny Prigozhin, himself a descendant of Putin's nomenklatura, has decided that it is time for him to play his own game, thanks to his "orchestra" at the ready. We know that he has many supporters among the Russian population and within the security services. We know that Prigozhin has big political ambitions and that he is fed up with greasy generals in offices who can't really fight. We know that if he launches an armed insurgency, he is very likely to succeed.
But we also remember how he and his accomplices cut people's heads off, killed their own people with a hammer cynically videotaped and mocked the unarmed. We should not ascribe to him a military honor and valor that does not exist.
Prigozhin calls for a fight against the renegade generals and for a war to the bitter end. But this war is not in the interests of the peoples of Russia. Prigozhin's battle with Shoigu, Gerasimov, and their generals is simply a battle for a feeding trough and the opportunity to continue to destroy and plunder the nations. Today's Russia is a collection of jackals who are tearing each other and the entire country apart.
We, the free citizens of Russia, will not leave our people alone with uncertainty and fear. We will put an end to the war and free our homeland from the rotten system, no matter whose system it is: Putin's or Prizhin's.
Our comrades-in-arms, get ready! Russia will be free!
