To Whom It May Concern: considerando le squallide e feroci psyop che stanno imperversando qui su Twitter ricordo che ormai esiste una piattaforma alternativa.
ATTENTION!
So, it appears Zelenskyy gave the go ahead to attack parked Russian nuclear capable bombers without informing @realDonaldTrump (if true that our President was not consulted nor informed, this isn’t simply a breach of protocol. It’s a geopolitical insult and a warning sign. If Ukraine is willing to conduct strikes with strategic consequences without notifying the White House, we are no longer allies with coordination issues—we are co-belligerents flying blind).
Also given Senator “warmonger” Lindsey Graham’s and Senator “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal’s recent visit, this attack could appear as though it was sanctioned. I pray the Russians have better intelligence than that. IMHO, these two don’t have the sense or common sense to pull something like this off (there will have to be denials though).
FYI, Those bombers that were hit HAVE to be out in full view due to nuclear treaty obligations. Zelenskyy took advantage of that. For instance, they appear to have hidden the drones in containers and were driven on trucks near the airbase. Smart use of deception (see photos below).
However, imagine any one of our big bomber bases having the exact same thing done to them. Very costly U.S. Strategic Bombers can be taken out in the same way by anyone with access to inexpensive drones, delivery trucks, explosives, and a bit of technical knowledge (not good and new tactics will now have to be developed).
People, and especially world leaders, need to realize the global implications to such an operation as Ukraine just pulled off.
Russia will respond. Action, reaction, counteraction. Those are the shifting tides of warfare.
This wasn’t a bold action, it was brash. Ukraine’s short-term win could be the world’s long-term loss.
Despite what is a complete mess right now in Europe, there are still solutions to achieving peace. They are narrowing however and time, as it often does, becomes an enemy instead of a useful friend.

REFERENDUM: "..Il quorum è a rischio non per beghe infantili tra fautori dei “piccoli passi” e apologeti del “tanto peggio, tanto meglio”. Piuttosto, manca la capacità di sviluppare tra masse depoliticizzate una critica del capitalismo all’altezza di questi tempi.."

« It is normal that russian 🇷🇺 forces are not making big progress, they focus on destroying the Ukrainian 🇺🇦 army »
I disagree with this narrative. The Russian strategy is neither attrition nor an attempt at a breakthrough; it is a mixture of both.

The problem facing the far right in Ukraine—despite the major leap in legitimacy and popularity it achieved during the war—is in many ways a mirror image of the issue centrists face across Europe. There, moderate politicians often echo hard-right talking points in a usually futile attempt to limit their opponents’ rise.
In Ukraine, by contrast, virtually all mainstream parties already claim the nationalist mantle—and have done so for years. This isn’t Weimar, and there are no social democrats in power. More experienced and better-resourced political actors campaign on many of the same issues as the far right, leaving the extremists with little distinct political space.
Fear of a violent far-right coup—or at least of a climate of political violence strong enough to pave the way for one, appears exaggerated. Almost the entire Ukrainian army and political elite support the constitutional order.
It's true, some military units aligned with or originating from far-right movements have seen their ranks swell with new recruits and now number in the tens of thousands. But this expansion has come at the cost of political dilution.
The modern Azov Brigade, for example, is largely a competent and professional military unit—not a roaming Freikorps of diehard nationalists. Only a small core of hardened veterans from the original movement still harbor revolutionary ambitions—ambitions that are especially unpopular it they entail a risk of civil war in a country already exhausted by fighting and violence.
That’s not to say the wartime alliance between liberal Ukrainians and the nationalist fringe will come without consequences—as some in Ukraine’s liberal and left-wing circles have already pointed out. Even with a large share of far-right activists at the front, there have been incidents of clashes, assaults, and intimidation against perceived adversaries, including trade unions and LGBT+ groups.
The mainstream parties likely to remain in power for the foreseeable future will probably continue to appease these elements, as they have in the past. And so, after the war, liberal and progressive Ukrainians will face the difficult task of regaining political ground that the forces of reaction will try hard not to give up.
Ecco un grafico che spiega più di tante analisi una delle principali cause dell'aumento degli occupati in Italia negli ultimi 15 anni: le pensioni.
L’incidenza di quanti sono andati in pensione prima dei 60 anni è passata da circa il 90% registrato per gli anni antecedenti al 2009 a valori di poco superiore al 10% nel 2023, con una riduzione maggiore tra gli uomini.
Parallelamente il tasso di occupazione tra i 50 e i 74 anni è cresciuto di oltre 10 punti, a causa delle persone rimaste più lungamente al lavoro.

Israel tried to sink an aid ship with 30 activists on board, thousands of miles from its shores. An Israeli C-130 aircraft with quad drone launching capacity, like the ones witnessed attacking the flotilla, was flying at low altitude for hours over the boat prior to attack. Will Western leaders be silent about this act of international terrorism?

Israel was involved in the explosion at Shahid Rajaee Port. There were explosives planted in the containers.
The explosion occurred at four different locations.
It's a good cop/bad cop routine, with Meloni playing part of the "responsible" PM who doesn't get involved. Stories that hide fundamental impotence of Meloni's govt to affect major events in the present dramatic circumstances, despite the media hype abt her foreign travels.

"Tra i motivi che hanno spinto Vladimir Putin a disertare i funerali di papa Francesco in piazza San Pietro a Roma ci sarebbe anche il timore di essere arrestato per via del mandato di cattura emesso a suo carico dalla Corte penale internazionale nel marzo 2023. Ma in realtà il presidente russo rischierebbe poco o nulla, perché il ministro della Giustizia italiano non ha mai dato seguito al provvedimento datato 17 marzo 2023. Da allora l’ordine dei giudici dell’Aia è fermo negli uffici di via Arenula, il Guardasigilli Carlo Nordio non lo ha trasmesso alla Procura generale di Roma affinché lo inoltrasse alla Corte d’appello per renderlo esecutivo. Trasformandolo in un pezzo di carta senza alcun effetto". (Corriere della sera)
