Kasparov: History repeats one pattern. You bomb London — Berlin comes next. Pearl Harbor, then Tokyo. Once a war drags past three days, the aggressor's capital always pays.

This thought is only now reaching Russians. Centuries of imperial thinking blocked the obvious lesson. 4X

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kasparov: Putin shielded Moscow perfectly. Mobilization barely touched the capital. The war was a distant noise behind the imperial feast

Classic Rome before the fall. A feast during the plague. Moscow became the purest symbol of imperial denial 3/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kasparov: Anti-Putin opposition carries the same virus. They say stop the war because you can't win, not because invading a neighbor is wrong. The moral case drops to third, fourth place.

Russians who opposed the war on principle from day one were a vanishing minority. 2/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kasparov: Drones hit the Urals, Petersburg, barely noticed, but Moscow? The imperial reflex snapped. Citizens asking why someone drags their city into a war between Ukraine and Russia

That question is the virus at its purest. Moscow sees itself as above the war it launched 1/

These assholes drove right over the coating. It's not even a vehicular traffic coating (which is meant to be driven on), and they're wondering why it's pealing? Was it even cured? These people are fucking stupid and can't own up to their own mistakes.

La cheffe des Verts @marinetondelier expérimente dans son logement et son bureau le caractère inefficace des travaux d’isolation lors des canicules.

Mais en pleine canicule, elle demande quand même qu’on en fasse plus… 🙄

Elle prétend n’avoir jamais été contre la climatisation alors qu’une motion en ce sens a été votée à l’unanimité au conseil fédéral @EELV il y a un an !

Et dans la même interview elle ressert au téléspectateur tous les arguments - faux - contre la climatisation !

Bref, ce n’est pas avec ceux qui se prétendent être « Les Écologistes » que l’on va s’adapter au réchauffement climatique 🥵

Le Cubain Ramiro Valdes est mort hier.

Surnommé le Boucher d’Artemisa, Mare de sang et l’Exécuteur, il a été le principal architecte du régime répressif castriste, puis vénézuélien.

Voilà le genre de crapule qui a bénéficié du soutien inconditionnel du PCF, de LFI et la CGT.

Alexander Browder, a 17-year-old London teenager, has become Russia's youngest ever sanctions target. He has built a database exposing the crypto networks helping Russia and other rogue states dodge Western sanctions.

In March, @Alexbrowder_ published a report for the Henry Jackson Society think tank, describing money-laundering mechanisms involving cryptocurrencies and estimating the scale of such operations by Russia, Iran, and North Korea at around $350 billion.

▪️ Cryptocurrency as a sanctions-evasion tool

A stablecoin is a type of cryptocurrency whose value is pegged to a stable asset. This may be a currency, such as the ruble. This avoids the sharp price fluctuations typical of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, making the token convenient for payments and transfers.

According to Alexander Browder, this stability made the A7A5 stablecoin a useful instrument for sanctions evasion. The ruble-pegged token allowed payments to be conducted outside the banking system, which has been blocked for Russia by Western sanctions.

Alexander described A7A5 as one of the West's biggest challenges in the fight against money laundering. According to the British Foreign Office, more than $90 billion passed through the stablecoin network linked to the token in the past year alone.

That figure is comparable to roughly half of Russia's annual military spending. In late May, London imposed sanctions on 18 platforms in several countries, accusing them of creating shadow financial systems to circumvent restrictions.

▪️ Russia's response

On June 2, the Russian foreign ministry added Browder and four other British citizens to its sanctions list. They were accused of "slander and spreading false information." The teenager was banned from entering Russia.

Browder himself took the move calmly. According to him, the sanctions have become a badge of honor and proof that his investigation has "touched a nerve."

By the way, Alexander is the son of financier and human rights advocate William Browder @Billbrowder, CEO and co-founder of Hermitage Capital. His lawyer, Sergei Magnitsky, died in a Russian prison in 2009 after exposing a major tax fraud scheme. Browder Sr. is an outspoken critic of Putin and the initiator of the Magnitsky Act.

According to Alexander, it was his father's story that inspired him to pursue investigations. He believes that today's schemes for financing war through cryptocurrencies require a new, younger generation of analysts.

SIKORSKI: I'd like to point out the difference in the targets that the two sides select. Russians hit an 11th-century monastery in Kyiv. And remember, in the 11th century, Moscow was still a forest. Ukrainians hit an oil refinery in Moscow, which is a legitimate military target.

1/ La campagne contre-logistique UKR se poursuit, y compris sur les passages obligés. Si la RU déploie des équipes mobiles anti-drones, elles ne peuvent tout couvrir. La question du nombre de drones reste déterminante - la quantité est une qualité en soi.

Kasparov: Russians interfered massively in 2016. Celebrated his arrival in the Oval Office.

When he won the second time, Putin was silent — but next day, Russian state TV aired compromising early photos of Melania at 9 PM. A message to Donnie: we may have others. 4X

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kasparov: Trump gave Putin a full year to win the war in Ukraine. Paralyzed everything America did except surveillance.

Sanctions — lifted or blocked. Everything he did was in Putin's favor. Everything. If Trump were a Russian asset, what would he be doing differently? 3/

Kasparov on Trump's 1987 Moscow trip, KGB absolutely tried to recruit him. For the KGB not to pay attention to an American billionaire with extravagant tastes arriving in Moscow?

They tried. Upon return, Trump invested $100,000 in articles calling for the end of NATO. 2/

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Kasparov: Trump can criticize Xi Jinping, dismiss Kim Jong-un, push Erdogan aside.

He has never said one negative word about Putin. Never done a single thing that could hurt him. The question is not what Trump sees in Putin. The question is what Putin has on Trump. 1/

Aucun responsable juif ne s’est ému du fait que le visuel du Canon Français représente du porc, alors que le recteur de la Grande Mosquée de Paris y a vu une volonté d’exclure les musulmans.

Cela dit quelque chose de notre époque : certains considèrent qu’une tradition, une caricature ou une habitude n’ont pas vocation à être adaptées à chacun. D’autres y voient immédiatement une intention d’exclusion ou une offense.

Il y a ceux qui laissent chacun vivre sa vie.
Et il y a ceux qui vivent en se sentant agressés par la vie des autres…

Bienvenue cher @ediramaal.

La très bonne dynamique de la relation entre l’Albanie et la France dans l’innovation, l’éducation et l’enseignement supérieur, la culture et le tourisme, témoigne de notre proximité.

Nous voulons lui donner un nouvel élan, en continuant également de renforcer nos coopérations économique et de défense.

La France réaffirme son soutien à l’intégration européenne de l’Albanie et à la poursuite des réformes nécessaires pour avancer sur son chemin européen.

Trump was a very bad investment for the people of the USA. It's going to cost the USA decades to recover from the damage he's caused domestically and internationally. When they eventually do recover, they're not going to be the world's superpower anymore.
