@LoveMcGrathpod Breeze increasing but nothing crazy. Sunny spells with some showers this afternoon and evening but mainly light and still 18c tonight. Hopefully raining goals from Ollie too UTV
It is nearly impossible for a European to comprehend the psychological reality inside Russia. It is not just "fake news." It is a total deconstruction of reality.
Let me try to immerse you in the world Russians live in [1/9]
Trump is finding out the hard way that you can’t tariff Europe, abandon Ukraine, praise Putin, threaten to invade Greenland, constantly insult Europe, and then expect Europe’s support in an illegal and badly planned war built on lies that he launched without warning us
Just unpacking it here.
Ukraine is helping us with Iranian drones, resulting from the war we launched against Iran.
And we're easing sanctions on Russia because of the oil market fallout from the war we launched against Iran.
And Russia is helping Iran with medical aid and intel, in the war we launched against Iran.
And Trump is frustrated with Ukraine because it's still at war with Russia.
This is how Ukrainian Crimea was occupied by Russia in 2014.
Here is testimony from a direct participant - Igor Girkin (Strelkov), a Russian terrorist and war criminal - describing how Russian special forces ordered locals to vote for annexation at gunpoint.
@Alex_Oloyede2 14,000 civilians killed” is a lie and total bull! 🐂 💩 what’s your source?
UN OHCHR: ~14k = total deaths incl. fighters.
Civilians: ~3,400 (to end-2021).
Russia started this war in 2014.
Stop recycling propaganda crap, I lived in the region 🤦♂️
Russian newspaper today:
“America no longer sees our country as a threat…The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World…he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”
@MikeBenzCyber He banned X completely, you imbecile. And is currently killing millions of people.
How do you people even get dressed in the morning being that stupid?
On Twitter, I no longer see the people I follow. Instead, I see:
• It’s OK to be white
• Putin is a great guy, actually
• Vaccines are bad, mmkay?
• Trump may be a pedophile, but at least he’s not a Democrat
• Look at all these attractive young white people in a European city. What do you notice?
Blatant far-right propaganda is pushed 24/7 from faceless bot accounts. Twitter’s algorithm deliberately finds it and boosts it. Anyone who disagrees is shadow-banned.
Musk wants a race war. He wants death camps. He wants all that Nazi shit, because he’s a Nazi. He is using Twitter to foment it.
There’s a war in Europe, and it’s not on the battlefield, it’s in your feed. The US, the ultra-rich, Russia, and online grifters are stoking division, anti-immigrant hate, and fake news to break the EU. This is an information war. Wake up. Resist.
