A wounded russian soldier tries to hide in a dugout from a drone, but another russian soldier won’t let him in and pushes him outside at gunpoint.

I spelled out "superpower suicide" in this essay from May 2026.
Empires have risen and failed before, but to my knowledge no state has ever chosen to kill its own power, and succeeded with such rapidity.

It took the Trumps to lose Albania, one of the most pro-American countries. They’re also protesting against the corruption in their own country that created the conditions for the private island project, but it’s a striking reversal to hear negative comments about the US at all.

These bastards came to power on a brutality scandal. They should leave on one, too.

Today’s attacks on humanitarian workers are war crimes. The world cannot accept this as normal. Too many aid workers have died like this around the world. Russia is a permanent member of the UN Security Council but it attacks UN and WCK vehicles in Kherson, Ukraine. While the aid workers survived unharmed, one resident died. This war needs to end now. The suffering needs to end now. We are an American-based NGO @realDonaldTrump @FLOTUS @SecRubio #ChefsForUkraine

I've seen lots of crazy shit in Georgia. Arresting people for peacefully standing on the sidewalk is pretty much the most ludicrous.

[Formula NEWS | English @FormulaGe]

Student and activist Elene Gelashvili is detained and handcuffed by the Georgian Police following her sentencing by the Tbilisi City Court for “obstructing pedestrian traffic” that is protesting on sidewalk in front of Parliament. Georgian Dream has jailed tens of demonstrators for this “offence” repetition of which can result in up to one year in jail

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

President Volodymyr Zelensky’s former press secretary Iuliia Mendel gave an interview to Tucker Carlson, an American conservative political commentator.

In this video, the Kyiv Independent’s Nastia Kasinchuk breaks down all the false claims that Mendel said in her one-and-a-half hour long interview, including the mobilization law in Ukraine, the freedom of speech and her claims about Zelensky himself.

@FormulaGe Such an old song and dance. That's all they got.

[Alexander Kavtaradze @alexkavtaradze_]

Hello from the freedom-loving people of Georgia 🇬🇪

Numerous people are still unlawfully imprisoned by the regime n, while others are being sentenced to several days of detention simply for protesting on the pavement.

We can neither accept nor reconcile ourselves to this injustice.This unfairness must be defeated, and therefore, we will fight until the end!

[paul rimple (@pjrimple.bsky.social) @paulrimple]

@ishowdeka Depends on your definition of development. 😉

[A Little Georgian Warrior🇬🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @True_Georgian]

Deeply concerning how, day by day, the regime is normalizing imprisonment for simply standing on a sidewalk.

Shameful @IuliiaMendel - whatever personal anger she carries or thinks she can get a job in whoever comes next’s administration, to go and validate Tucker’s delusions about Ukraine at this level - is disgusting. Plus via gossip and hearsay.
