THREAD 1/7 Intel from a Ukrainian officer about a meeting in Putin’s lair in Urals. Oligarchs convened there so no one would flee. Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days. @EPPGroup@general_ben@edwardlucas@politico
„Es geht darum, unsere Innenpolitik auseinanderzutreiben.“(Pistorius)
Vielleicht begreifen jetzt mehr Menschen, dass russische Desinformationskampagnen seit Jahren auf allen Feldern dieses zum Ziel haben und viel zu viele Leute willig und auch unbeabsichtigt darauf anspringen
At the current burn rate of $4.4 billion/month, Russia's National Wealth Fund will be gone in 12 months.
If the US can get off its ass and fund Ukraine now, Putin will NOT win this war.
Russian serviceman, in an obscure note on an obscure channel, described his experience with looting Ukrainian houses in the first months of the war. He explains how, despite orders to avoid looting, very quickly all Russians turned to ransacking every single house they saw.
He describes it as a feeling of ultimate impunity, "ability to come into any house, break any door, turn everything upside down" to find what they needed.
Clearly, he has some semblance of morals but keeps justifying his actions with the need to eat and wash. A military court psychologist would be quite interested in such a "patient".
@EinstEinAdler Könnt auch an den unfähigen Wehrberatern liegen...
Meine Freundin wollt FWD für 7 Monate machen und der Typ hatte nur die Infovideos, die sie alle bereits ausm Internet kannte. Wie ist das mit Sehschwäche? "Öh keine Ahnung" kein Follow-up. Straight Desinteresse weil nur 7 Monate.
Armenia's exports to Russia are up 430% from before the invasion, which is about re-export of EU and Chinese goods to Russia. That's not the end of it. Armenia's exports to Kazakhstan are up 1200%, to Kyrgyzstan 1600%, to Uzbekistan 250% and to the UAE 900%. All going to Russia.
Für Außenminister Schallenberg war auch nach dem Giftanschlag kein Anlass gegeben, die eigene kremlfreundliche Haltung zu überdenken. In den Unterlagen des BMEIA steht trocken: „Müssen trotz Nawalny kühlen Kopf bewahren. Vermischung von Politik und Wirtschaft nicht gut!“ 3/n
changes like the following should be used....
1. taking 3 months off from training US troops (not a big deal) 2-5000 rounds a month
2. emptying out the DPCM rounds we cant use 2-3 million rounds
3. buying more rounds from Egypt and turky (millions)
4. cutting off the IDF from any shell exports for 6 months (they are now building there own) (thousands)
5. demanding a export ban on EU rounds. (40% of production)
6. use the war powers act to ramp up the dallas plant.. its not going to be finished for a year if not. (would go from 30 to 100K a month)
7. get the EU to allow shells to be purchased from other non eu countries. (500K rounds would be delivered at once)
1/2 Ihr habt erkannt dass ein russischer Angriff auf die NATO nicht ein konventioneller Krieg alá 3. WK sein wird, sondern ein hybrider Angriff im Baltikum um den Glauben an Artikel 5 und damit die NATO zu zerstören? LG @spartyflyboy 🤝
Upon his departure from Fox, Putin’s international propaganda network RT has “offered” Tucker Carlson a job.
Why do the Kremlin-controlled media love Carlson more than any other Western journalist? Here's the truth: 🧵
I don’t know how to break this to people, but all Soldiers put their hands in their pockets when no one is looking. Sometimes even when people are looking.
Russia lost Ukraine
Slava to the rule of law.
Official❗️Genocide of Ukrainians in Donetsk and Luhansk was real.
Ukrainians indeed has been dying.
Truth prevails in the face of denial. The ICJ confirms: the suffering in Donetsk and Luhansk is real. Ukrainians have endured the unimaginable. On Feb 2, 2024, justice spoke. Now, it's time for the world to listen. @TuckerCarlson , will you echo this truth against the 8-year mantra? #ICJDecision2024 #RuleOfLaw #UkraineGenocide
⚡️The 🇺🇦Ukrainian military reports that Starlink has begun to be delivered en masse to the 🇷🇺Russian military through Dubai, the accounts are activated and work in the occupied territories
Kurzum: eine umfangreiche, eigenständige und verdienstvolle Arbeit - mit einigen wenigen (2) kaum relevanten Ungenauigkeiten, die man anno 1996 wohl nicht gefunden hätte ohne die heutigen Textanalysesysteme.
The Library of Alexandria isn't the only library lost to time.
There was also the "House of Wisdom", built 1,000 years ago in Baghdad when it was the world's largest city.
What did it contain? What happened to it? This is the story of history's other great library...
Just for better understanding of who is fighting against Ukraine (and assisted by mike johnson), here’s a small account from one of the Russian convict companies: they follow a caste system identical to one in a Russian prison, they do not trust outsiders. As their main motivation is amnesty (for murder and other crimes), once their term approaches they go out of their way to escape and not die. Then they become “free men”. Tens of thousands of them have already been freed by putin.
Is this the moral position the republicans want to take?
Am 28.01 24 war die größte Bauer-Demo in München mit 10.000 Teilnehmern, die zweitgrößte war zuvor in Berlin mit 8.500 Teilnehmern (laut Polizei). In u.a. Bayern und NRW haben sich die MP´s der Länder, insbes. Söder und Wüst, auf die Seite der Bauern gestellt. Die Reaktion auf
1/ I have found that Russia has removed barrels and cannibalized almost all of their different types of stored self propelled guns. In this thread I will show satelite images of systems that have been cannibalized or with removed barrels🧵
Aufruhr in der arabischen Welt: Die muslimische Bloggerin Hoda Janat @hodajannat ist schockiert darüber, was sie seit Beginn des Krieges über Gaza erfahren hat.
Der Beitrag entlarvt die Heuchelei der Hamas-Organisation, angeblich sei die Situation der Gaza-Bewohner vor dem Krieg so schlecht gewesen, und so wird veröffentlicht:
1. Plötzlich entdeckten wir, dass es im Gazastreifen, wo 2 Millionen Menschen leben, 36 Krankenhäuser gibt. Es gibt arabische Länder mit einer Bevölkerung von 30 Millionen, in denen es nicht so viele Krankenhäuser gibt.
2. Überraschenderweise haben wir herausgefunden, dass Gaza kostenlos Wasser, Strom, Gas und Treibstoff von Israel erhält. Natürlich gibt es weltweit keinen einzigen arabischen Bürger, der nicht für Wasser, Strom und Gas bezahlt.
1/ Some Russian convicts fighting in Ukraine have been formed into a special forces unit called Storm Gladiator. Although it brings together the best fighters from Storm Z and Storm V units, Storm Gladiator is nonetheless reported to have a survival rate of under 40 percent.
