Our soldiers quickly captured two enemy columns of armored vehicles, including modern T-72B3s and even T-90Ms. Instead of simply blowing up the tanks, they did something the Russians certainly did not expect.
Ukrainian crews got into the captured Russian tanks, switched on the radios, adopted the Russians' call signs, and set off on a deep raid behind enemy lines, posing as friendly forces.
The Russian columns moved calmly, believing they were safe. Our tank crews quickly neutralized the original crews, mastered the equipment, and blended into the Russian traffic flow. They spoke Russian over the radio, used the correct call signs, and imitated the style of Russian communications. At checkpoints, they were waved through without suspicion: "Go ahead, guys."
The Ukrainians then calmly drove straight onto the grounds of a Russian brigade headquarters.
Once inside, they suddenly turned their turrets and opened fire. The headquarters, supply depots, and vehicle park were turned into an inferno within minutes. Russian troops ran in panic between tents, firing in every direction, but it was already too late. They had allowed a "Trojan horse" onto their own base.
The operation was carried out brilliantly. Ukrainian forces seized the headquarters, captured officers, destroyed key facilities, and withdrew with minimal losses.
The russian refinery says alumina shipped from Ireland does not end up in weapons.
The Irish Government seems uninterested in testing that claim.
So I took a sample myself.
It will now be compared with battlefield debris from Ukraine.
This should have been done by the state.
Russia’s war machine is under growing strain.
In my latest op-ed in The Australian, I argue that Ukraine’s resilience, innovation and long-range drone campaign are changing the dynamics of the war. By striking Russia’s oil infrastructure—the financial lifeblood of the Kremlin’s aggression—Ukraine is demonstrating that technological ingenuity can offset a larger adversary’s advantages.
For the first time in many months, Ukraine is regaining the initiative in key areas while Russia faces mounting economic and military pressures. The war is far from over, but the narrative of inevitable Russian success is increasingly disconnected from reality.
Australia has every reason to pay attention. The lessons emerging from Ukraine—from drone warfare to national resilience—will shape the future of security far beyond Europe.

I’m sure you all remember Avery Jackson, the “trans girl” who, at 9, was on the cover of National Geographic in January of 2017. Avery was given the gold standard in gender affirming care: he was chemically castrated and sterilized with “blockers” to hold off male puberty.
Now Avery has come out as “nonbinary” and chosen not to pursue transition, meaning that his puberty was blocked for no reason — but that’s not the worst part. He also identifies as asexual, meaning that he doesn’t experience sexual attraction.
This is undoubtedly the result of the medication used to delay male puberty. The president of WPATH, Dr, “Marci” Bowers, has said on camera that so-called puberty blockers, which are used to chemically castrate sex offenders, chemically castrate the young boys who take them as well, leaving them incapable of arousal or orgasm.
For adult sex offenders, the process is reversible. For boys like Avery, the effects are permanent. He will never feel sexual attraction, or any of the experiences that accompany it. He is also completely sterile; he will never father a child, and his own childhood was spent in the national spotlight. The blockers he was given have also stunted his physical and mental development in irreversible ways. We know from the experiences of other “trans” children that he will never sexually mature - neither physically nor emotionally. All of these things were stolen from him, and he has said that transitioning “ruined my life.”
It’s high time that we stop pretending that children can make an informed decision to transition or take blockers, even if their doctors are honest about the risks and consequences — which most are not.
Blockers are not a pause button. They are not reversible. The intellectual deficits they cause will never repair themselves, and neither will the damage done to the child victim’s body, or to their emotional intelligence and maturity. This will, of course, make it easier to push them into transitioning; ie, to sell them hormones and provide surgical alterations.
Parents like Avery’s, who try to monetize their child’s struggles with gender identity, belong in prison, not on television, and so do the doctors and politicians who were complicit in his chemical castration and sterilization.

The amazing @lalshareef explains how Israel removed Jews from Gaza in 2005 to get peace, leaving behind greenhouses worth millions of dollars.
The Palestinians looted the greenhouses, and Gaza was turned into a terror fortress.
This must go viral.

BRO… four years ago NAFO basically started as a handful of weird internet goblins with Shiba Inu profile pictures, zero funding, weaponized autism, and the collective decision to bully vatnik propaganda into another dimension. 🚬🕶️🐕🇺🇦
And somehow…
it worked.
Four years later the internet is full of:
-Fellas in every timezone
-volunteers raising millions for Ukraine
-memes traveling faster than propaganda
-vatniks writing 38-post emotional breakdown threads because a cartoon dog ratio’d them into spiritual collapse
The wildest part?
NAFO was never really about just memes.
It became people.
Real people.
Veterans.
Doctors.
Gamers.
Truck drivers.
Moms.
Students.
Shitposters operating on caffeine, nicotine, and pure spite for authoritarian bullshit.
Meanwhile Russia thought they were fighting NATO and accidentally ended up fighting:
a decentralized online dog swarm with Photoshop, sarcasm, and unlimited psychological damage.
4 years later and the Fellas are still here.
Still fundraising.
Still posting.
Still supporting Ukraine.
Still making dictators furious with cartoon dogs wearing tactical sunglasses.
History books are gonna have the hardest time explaining this to future generations.
‘Yes children… a significant part of the information war was conducted by meme dogs calling people vatniks.’
Absolute cinema.
Happy 4 years of NAFO chaos.
🐾🇺🇦🚬

I'm 43 now, and I've now seen three distinct phases in my life regarding attitudes towards gender/sex. Here's a handy guide for determining which one is the correct take:
1) Pre-1990ish: "Little Billy can't play with dolls b/c he's a boy and everyone knows boys don't play with dolls" ❌
2) 1990-2010: "Little Billy can play with dolls if he wants, boys can play with dolls. It doesn't make him any less of a boy" ✅
3) 2010 - Present : "Little Billy IS a girl because he plays with dolls, because everyone knows boys don't play with dolls" ❌
As we can see, #2 is the correct choice. #1 and #3 are examples of toxic right wing gender norms, and toxic left wing gender norms, respectively.
That's the funny thing about gender ideology; despite its adherents loud claims that they are somehow smashing traditional gender-based norms and stereotypes, they're actually rigidly enforcing them.
The truly enlightened viewpoint is that there is no right or wrong way to be a boy or girl and kids should feel free to explore and play with whatever they want without activists with an agenda slapping an inappropriate label on them and forcing them into a pathway towards lifelong medicalization and dependency on Big Pharma.
Why Chris Hipkins is unfit to be Prime Minister
Forget the spin. Look at the record.
Hipkins ran the COVID response. He ran the spending. He built Te Pūkenga. Three of the biggest calls of the last decade. All three went wrong.
Start with COVID.
The Royal Commission has now reported. It found the exit from elimination was mishandled. It found decision making drifted away from expert advice. It found Auckland was locked down longer than it needed to be.
Longer than it needed to be. Sit with that. Businesses shut. Families kept apart. Kids kept out of school. And the official inquiry says it went on too long.
Hipkins says he made mistakes "with hindsight." Hindsight. People were saying it at the time. He just was not listening then. He still will not apologise to Auckland now.
Now the money.
Labour spent tens of billions during the pandemic. Much of it untargeted. Much of it with no real link to the virus at all. That spending helped fuel the inflation that pushed up your mortgage, your rent, your groceries. You are still paying for his decisions today. Every week.
Then Te Pūkenga.
He took 16 polytechnics and merged them into one. The merger went further than officials recommended. It then collapsed into deficits and dysfunction. A flagship reform that became a flagship failure.
So that is the record. COVID exit mishandled. Spending out of control. His signature reform in ruins.
And here is the part that should bother every New Zealander.
When the Royal Commission offered him the chance to front the public and answer for all of it, he refused. The man who stood at the podium every day at 1pm telling the country to trust him would not stand up once and be questioned. He hid behind lawyers instead.
This is the same man whose Cabinet paper carried advice about heart risks from a second vaccine dose in teenagers. He now says he does not recall it.
Does not recall it.
You cannot run the country on "with hindsight" and "I do not recall."
A Prime Minister owns the call. Owns the cost. Owns the consequence. Hipkins owns none of it. He admits mistakes only when the evidence forces him to, apologises for nothing, and ducks the room the moment real accountability arrives.
That is not bad luck. That is a pattern. And that pattern is the reason he is unfit to be Prime Minister.
