STRATEGIC THINKING & ADVANTAGE
A frequently asked question is this: could 'strategic thinking' help to create 'a long-term competitive advantage', hence 'strategic advantage'?
Here is an answer. 1/

Russian forces deliberately targeted an unarmed civilian fruit vendor in Kherson.

There was no military objective, no, battlefield necessity, just another civilian trying to earn a living, deliberately hunted and attacked.

This is how Russia wages war in occupied and frontline communities, terrorising civilians for sport.

"I've lost everyone. My parents. My brothers and sisters. My son..."

Ukrainian Defender Danylo Voronov lost his entire family in a Russian strike on Radushne, Dnipropetrovsk region.

At the moment a Russian ballistic missile hit their home, his parents, seven brothers and sisters, and his 1.5-year-old son, Artem, were inside.

Danylo says Artem was a cheerful little boy who was always smiling and loved pressing the keys of a piano. His family believed he had a gift for music.

This is an unimaginable tragedy.

Deepest condolences to Danylo.
May he find the strength to endure this devastating loss.

Heute von Russland ermordet:

Die 7-jährige Emilia, die 9-jährige Federika, der 11-jährige Azarii Ilai, der 13-jährige Zakhar, die 14-jährige Viorika, die 16-jährige Dominika, der 17-jährige Mark – und der erst 1½ Jahre alte Artem.

🚨Wie herz- und gewissenlos muss man sein, den Verteidigern dieser unschuldigen Kinder die Unterstützung entziehen zu wollen?

➡️Frage für die @AfD.

Eighteen-year-old Maël Le Lagadec has drawn international attention after carrying a newly built wooden cross to the summit of Pic d’Aneto, the highest mountain in the Pyrenees.

On May 9, the young Frenchman climbed for approximately fourteen hours while carrying the 35-kilogram cross on his back, together with a 15-kilogram backpack. Measuring 1.10 metres high, 70 centimetres wide and 11 centimetres thick, the cross was transported to an altitude of 3,404 metres in the Spanish region of Aragon.

The extraordinary journey began after the original metal cross, which had marked the summit since 1951, was cut down with a grinder and stolen in April 2026. Refusing to leave the mountain without its Christian symbol, Maël and a friend decided to build a replacement themselves from black walnut wood.

“A few weeks ago, we discovered that the Aneto cross had disappeared,” he explained. “With a friend, we launched this somewhat crazy project to rebuild it.”

After enduring the exhausting ascent, Maël finally reached the summit and restored the Cross to its place above the Pyrenees. Overcome with emotion, he knelt beside it and wept.

“I arrive, I kneel, and I cry.”

Someone tried to remove the Cross from the mountain.

An eighteen-year-old carried it back. ✝️🏔

— Немає мами!
— Не кажи так про маму.
— Її більше немає! Все! Немає мами.

Це страшні кадри після вчорашньої атаки в Одесі.

Ракета вбила матір трьох дітей, коли вона разом із синами поспішала в укриття. Хлопчиків поранено.

This photo must be seen by the entire world so people understand what Russia truly is.

A mother is holding her child as tightly as she can, trying to shield them with her own body while Russia drops guided аerial bоmbs on Sumy.

No child should grow up in a reality like this. No mother should have to become a human shield to protect her child.

🤬💔 In Kramatorsk, Russians killed two children.

[Mindaugas Kubilius @MinRex]

Behold. Russia is evil.

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @CrimeanVoyager]

💔 Kramatorsk. I have no words left. A 14-year-old boy and his 19-year-old sister.

What did they do? What was their crime? Was their only crime being Ukrainians in their own home?

If this doesn't make you hate russia, nothing will.

[Mindaugas Kubilius @MinRex]

Russia is Evil!

[Jürgen Nauditt 🇩🇪🇺🇦 @jurgen_nauditt]

A photo the whole world should see.

A Russian missile killed an entire family in Kyiv—harrowing images, according to photographer Yefrem Lukatsky. 😢😢😢😢😢

[MAKS 26 🇺🇦👀 @Maks_NAFO_FELLA]

🔞🕯️ A Russian missile killed an entire family. Will this photo stop the war? Most likely not. But I believe that the world should see the truth, - photographer Yefrem Lukatsky

"I hope that those who will be hurt by this photo will forgive me. Kyiv, July 6, 2026," - he added.

Pastor has his church and home burned down by islamist mobs in Nigeria, they slaughtered 150 of his congregation.

No protests for Christians in Nigeria!
The UN remains silent!

[UAVoyager🇺🇦 @CrimeanVoyager]

russian terrorists killed the wife and 5-year-old daughter of a Ukrainian police officer from the Sumy region.

Their older daughter was injured and is now in the hospital.

While he was defending Ukraine, russia murdered his family.

Never say you don't know what russia is.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Efforts to deal with the aftermath of the Russian airstrike are ongoing in Sumy. The Russians used guided aerial bombs against ordinary people in the city center. There may still be people trapped under the rubble of an apartment building. Tragically, as of now, four people have been confirmed killed, including a child. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 27 people were injured, including six children. Many sustained severe injuries.

Throughout the day, Russia also struck Zaporizhzhia, where a drone attack killed two people and injured six others, including a child. Kharkiv was targeted by an enemy FPV drone, leaving people injured there as well. Communities across the Kharkiv, Dnipro, and Donetsk regions also came under attack.

It is essential that our partners pressure Russia so that this terror comes to an end. Those Russia will listen to are, without a doubt, the United States, other G7 and G20 countries, and Europe. We must remember that Europe has tools it can use to pressure this aggressor – above all, pressure its energy sector, its oil fleet, and its financial system. Those tools must be used. We must also take further steps to strengthen our defense, first and foremost our air defense. I am grateful to every leader who remains active and does not waste a single day.

This is absolutely horrifying footage from Sumy. It's not for the faint of heart, but it needs to be shared so people around the world can see what Russia is doing to Ukrainian civilians.

This is not war. It's terrorism!

[Katerina Horbunova @blue_eyedKeti]

For many years now, my people have been showing the whole world what is happening in Ukraine, and what the russians are doing to our country, our people, and our cities. You often see lines like: "When will the world finally hear us?", "World, don’t close your eyes," or "Please, don’t stay silent." Last night, the russians struck Zaporizhzhia and Sumy again-as always, brutally and mercilessly, as if we Ukrainians are not human beings, but just a testing ground, a place where they can do whatever they want with impunity, because it’s "war," after all.

This morning, I see my people showing the world the horrific footage of another terrible night; as always, only the names of the cities change. And yes, the world sees everything, the world hears, the world is not silent. But what is the point of it all? What can an ordinary person from any European country really do on a global scale? We have already heard every kind of condolence, and every prayer in the world has been addressed to Ukrainians and Ukraine.

Half of 2026 is already behind us. Perhaps the world has just grown accustomed to someone else’s pain. Or maybe this war has dragged on so long that everyone is starting to feel hopeless and powerless... Honestly, I don't know anymore. But I do know one thing: silence is not an option. Yet, appealing to the world no longer makes sense-everyone already knows, sees, and hears everything. And the russians act as if this is their world, or as if they’ve simply taken the wheel and are dictating the rules of impunity... I don’t even know how to end this text.

[Anton Gerashchenko @Gerashchenko_en]

The body of another child was found under the debris.

Russia killed two kids and 14 adults in Kyiv today. It injured 57 more.

I can't find words. I am aching and sorry for everyone whose lives were ruined by Russia.

RIP.

On this day in 1873, a Catholic priest arrived at a leper colony in Molokai, Hawaii.

He built their homes, dug their graves, and wrote: “I make myself a leper with the lepers to gain all to Jesus Christ.”

Eventually, he died serving the lepers he loved.

Today is the feast day of Saint Damien of Molokai. Pray for us!

This is a visualization of the destruction of the 1962 missal in one video so people can see just how Protestant the new mass is by comparison.
