ISW is releasing a new version of its interactive map displaying the pillars of Russia’s cognitive warfare infrastructure. Russia uses cognitive warfare to shape the decisions and will of its opponents. The Kremlin is expanding its network of global media partnerships, state-run international journalism training initiatives, and building a global media recruitment pipeline targeting young media professionals abroad. The Kremlin seeks to shape global narratives for decades to come. (1/2)
The map includes Russian state media partnerships, state journalism training programs, and the Russian House cultural centers, which the Kremlin uses to project influence abroad. ISW will regularly update this interactive map.
@MarxistInfo Don’t be sad, you can always go to North Korea. And Marx forbid if that ‘superior civilisation’ had seen its admirer use X! It despises everything Western so you might as well log out from here.
@JulieChangRE You don’t wanna know, it’s very Soviet, depressing, lifeless, ugly boxes. When I’m visiting a country that was not occupied by the Soviet Union, one pleasant thing is that I don't see thousands of these ugly buildings.
As we commemorate 250 years of independence, I call on our allies and embassies around the world to join us in celebrating the American principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Happy Independence Day, and may God bless the United States of America.

This generational investment in our armed forces is essential to implement a common sense, America First strategy, including supercharging our defense industrial base to supply not only our own forces but those of our allies and partners.
BREAKING: Six participants in the October 4 #GeorgiaProtests have been sentenced to prison terms of up to five years. Unlike many others, they refused plea deals because they would have required admitting guilt.
Among those sentenced is 72-year-old doctor Giorgi Chakhunashvili, who received a five-year prison sentence.
Ia Darakhvelidze was sentenced to two years in prison.
According to lawyer Shota Tutberidze, the health condition of the detained leader of the @DroaParty, Elene Khoshtaria @Helenkhosh, has deteriorated.
The lawyer stated that two weeks have already passed since they requested the penitentiary facility to develop and present a treatment plan and to organize a meeting. However, they have not received a response to this request to date.
"Elene Khoshtaria has been unlawfully detained in the correctional facility for 10 months now, where a gradual and noticeable deterioration of her health condition began 4 months ago.
During every visit, we, her lawyers, notice symptoms that could indicate an alarming condition. These include:
- Severe joint pain;
- Difficulty moving;
- Periodic restriction of joint mobility, due to which she is sometimes unable to even write and requires a cane to move around.
Elene Khoshtaria did not intend to make this information public. However, after becoming convinced that both the prison medical staff and the director of the facility failed to show proper attention, she decided to share the information about her condition with the public.
Elene has no complaints against the facility staff, specifically the nurses and officers. However, the attitude of the facility's medical personnel and director towards this issue is noteworthy — the medical examinations or procedures they have conducted over these 4 months have been sporadic, non-systemic, and ineffective.
Because she still lacks the necessary answers and a treatment plan, we consulted with Elene's treating physicians at a clinic in Turkey.
According to the evaluation of the Turkish doctors, without proper treatment and in the event of further deterioration, Elene's health could suffer irreversible damage—for example, she might no longer be able to move without a wheelchair. The assessments and recommendations sent by the Turkish doctors were handed over to the medical staff of Penitentiary Facility No. 5 approximately 2 months ago, immediately upon receipt.
Furthermore, it has been two weeks since Elene Khoshtaria's lawyer approached the penitentiary facility requesting the development and presentation of a treatment plan for the political prisoner, as well as the organization of a meeting. To this day, we have not received a response to this request, which once again demonstrates the Penitentiary Service's negligent attitude toward the health of prisoners and the obligations prescribed to them by law," states Shota Tutberidze.
@dom_lucre Oh, the song is terrible. Framing is too, it’s giving off a mix of modernist, depressing, Soviet vibes, which is a perfect way to mess up something that is wonderful in itself.Georgian dances are great as they are,with diverse regional music expressing spirit of Georgian culture.
The Philippines has protested China’s deployment of what Manila describes as a floating “structure” with personnel on a disputed shoal in the South China Sea, fearing it could be a part of Beijing’s effort to turn the atoll into an island base.

On June 4, the world marks 37 years since the Chinese Communist Party ordered its troops to attack thousands of peaceful demonstrators in and around Tiananmen Square. Those who sacrificed to uphold their unalienable rights of free expression and peaceful assembly will be vindicated someday.
NASA pilot Victor Glover CLAPS back after being asked what it means to be the first black man to visit the moon: “It’s the story of humanity, not black history, not women’s history, but that it becomes human history.”
“I also HOPE we are pushing the other direction that one day we don’t have to talk about these first. That one day, this is just—and listen to this—that this is the human history.”
