it’s proving hard for the europeans to call out russia for direct military action against them because they aren’t prepared to take the actions in response that implies.

STOP!

You are trying to create a narrative.

This was a shadow-army attack

[Henrik Zeberg @HenrikZeberg]

Jøsses .... @berlingske🤦‍♂️

Spanien er offeret. Det var shadow-army. Hvem stod bag? Marokko..... og...? Det er det rigtige spørgsmål.

It was a deliberate attack by a shadow-army on a European city.

Don't make it sound like it was a migrant-crisis.

[Henrik Zeberg @HenrikZeberg]

Yeah ... attacks on our beautiful European cities by foreign powers are unfortunately something which can be seen.

And interestingly enough.... the 60K "migrants".... are no longer in Spain...

So - were they truly migrants - or perhaps shadow-army soldiers of foreign powers who want to make Europe look bad?

I know what I think they were....!

iran’s control over the strait of hormuz is powerful leverage but also a wasting asset.

the longer they control it, the more other countries divert their long term supply chains & the more the us and gulf countries build defenses against drones and ballistic missiles.

if iran wants to monetize they need as much money as possible up front. this informs what has been an intransigent negotiating position.

🇺🇦 Budanov: The situation surrounding the latest internal changes has caused strong emotions. I understand people who express their position. Indifference is the force that has held our state together all these years. The position of society has been heard.

The situation is being resolved professionally, constructively, and in the interest of our state. Therefore, I ask you to remain calm. Discussion is a normal thing for a free country. It is important that it continues to take place peacefully, without provocations that would harm national security.

I urge you not to hate anyone. The enemy is closely monitoring our every internal dispute and is waiting for us to start fighting among ourselves. I will tell the enemies directly: you will not wait. Let's think about our joint victory. Ukraine will definitely emerge from this situation stronger.

Work is underway. There will be results.

⛽️ The attacks on Russian refineries have caused Russia’s biggest fuel crisis in decades and undermined the Kremlin’s promise to provide stability and prosperity in exchange for curbs on freedoms, — Le Monde

The crisis is being exacerbated by Russians’ distrust of official information: people expect further deterioration and are buying up fuel.

The introduction of restrictions through QR codes, queues for license plates and the sale of lower-quality gasoline do not solve the problem.

Against this background, the situation in the banking sector is worsening. In 2025, about 500,000 small and medium-sized enterprises in Russia went bankrupt, and 10% of corporate loans became problematic.

Since May, 94% of my post viewers either don’t like my posts - or they can’t be arsed to like share or engage.

To the 6% - sorry I’m feeling demotivated. 60,000 posts over 5 years and the throttling is just insane.

Maintaining strength, muscle, balance, and function is the difference between independence and the nursing home.

Russia's full scale war against Ukraine, which Moscow started on 24th February of 2022, lasts now exactly as long as the German-Soviet war in WW2, exactly 1,418 days.

This ludicrous number is for Russia a total embarrassment, especially when reflecting that Russia hasn't achieved even a single strategic victory. The Ukrainian state and government is very much in tact, same goes for the Ukrainian army.

I have also added two maps showing the control area of both factions between December 2022 and January 2026. The older map marks the moment after the successful Ukrainian counteroffensives in 2022, where Russia lost the entire fronts in the North, Kharkiv and Kherson.

As you can easily see, they are virtually identical. So, when you hear that Russia is moving forward then we are talking about minuscule speed. Even a snail would have been faster, literally.

The Russian human material losses are huge. Around 1.2 million Russian casualties (KIA, WIA and MIA) are accounted for and those stand in contrast to no achieved strategic goals.

The Russian economic losses are vast and actually far worse than the human material losses. Between $0.5 and $1 billion a day are the costs for the Russian war machine in order to keep it running. This abysmal number is not even Russia's biggest headache.

The economic losses from lost markets, especially Europe, will have far worse impact. In turn, Russia has become absolutely dependent on China, and is practically reduced to be an economic vassal of Beijing.

Politically, the Russian invasion has only been a nightmare for Moscow. Azerbaijan, Armenia, Syria, Venezuela, Sudan and now Iran are all countries were Russia lost all or almost all influence. Parallelly, Sweden and Finland joined NATO.

Despite the fact that Russia is still continuing this war of aggression, it is obvious that this war has caused just negative effects on Russia and its population. Ukraine in turn is suffering, as well, but managed to strengthen the Ukrainian identity. The state is intact. When comparing this with the quoted the WW2, then the only conclusion is that Russia failed on an epic scale.
