Please watch and consider that Russia is proudly targeting and murdering Ukrainian children, and that there are real people operating these drones. That they have commanders all the way up to Putin authorizing this terror campaign.

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

A boy on his bike near Kramatorsk was just murdered by a russian drone. They posted this video of their crime. This is evidence this war has nothing to do with territory. It’s an attempt to wipe out an entire civilian population of an innocent county while the world watches.

Somewhere a therapist is trying to get people to "live in the moment" while this girl is already three levels deep into a made up game that only exists in her head and involves real trains.

The world needs more pointless whimsy.

For those who loved this 41-year-old Cambridge professor, it is a tragedy. For the world it is a warning of the destruction bad ideas can wreak https://t.co/MYfUhfiM6p

Look, if you make up a million lies, and then you use those lies to get money and respect, and then some people point out that you're lying about everything, I don't think that means you were "lynched".

🔴 Astronaut visits Ukraine after seeing Russian missile strike from space.

Remember the hounding of Dr Kelly?

You should sit this one out, Alastair.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

Funny how no one asked russia to halt strikes on Ukrainian civilians.

Word is spreading that pockets of the European economy are blossoming.

Croatia, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Greece are also growing at a brisk pace.

Those countries are in the EU single market - casting doubt on a German narrative that EU regulation is to blame for its woes.

As a European, I am so grateful that MAGA is always educating us how unsafe and horrible things are in Europe. Just look at these horrific numbers!

Describing Ukraine’s fight for freedom as “the NATO campaign against Russia” should disqualify you from being a MP. These are literally Kremlin talking points

Without question, the biggest strategic blunder of the 21st century was Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine.

The consequences have been staggering:

- Over 1 million Russian casualties.
- NATO is larger, more united, and more relevant than at any point in its history.
- Russia has more than doubled its border with NATO.
- Russia exposed the weaknesses of its military, failing to seize Ukraine in 2022, repeatedly revising its war aims, and becoming dependent on Iran and North Korea for weapons, ammunition, and even troops.
- Putin didn't destroy Ukrainian identity. He reinforced it, forged it under fire, and revealed it to the world. He helped create a durable Ukrainian national identity that will endure for generations.
- Russia transformed from an energy superpower with diversified, premium European markets into a supplier increasingly dependent on discounted sales to China.

Few strategic decisions in modern history have produced so many outcomes directly contrary to the aggressor's objectives.

It is essential to repeat this at all times these days.

‘Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.”

Human history is filled with spasms of moral deliria, righteous witchhunting & mob moronism but the internet has made the tendency worse: I quoted this Nietzsche line on the preface of The World: a Family History of Humanity.

[Nathan Livingstone (MilkBarTV) @TheMilkBarTV]

Tucker Carlson's favourite "political scientist", John Mearsheimer, and his ATROCIOUS predictions on the war in Ukraine:

Feb. 2022: "I don't think Russia is going to invade."
Sep. 2023: "The Ukrainians are doomed to lose."
Jan. 2024: "It's ridiculous to think Ukraine can hold the line in 2024."
Apr. 2025: "It's unimaginable Ukraine will hang on beyond 2025."
Jul. 2026: "The Russians are slowly moving forward."
