We live in a time increasingly resembling the second half of the 1930s. I couldn't live with myself with the knowledge I didn't do more to stop another Hitler. In light of the Republican wavering and in memory of Navalny I will give $100 towards FPV drones for Ukr for every RT.
Raskin: I don’t even know why you stick with him. He was a Democrat longer than he was a Republican. You guys have been taken over by an absolute conman and now you’re acting like members of a religious cult who don’t even remember how you got in in the first place
Remember how outraged were all the Russians about the alleged Belgorod bombing two days ago? Russia did 100x more damage just today. Where’s everyone now?
The 83-year-old Russian woman in the interview has more integrity, poise, knowledge, intelligence, conscience, self-criticism and pride than all the Russians we have heard of in the last 10 years combined.
Az interjúban szereplő 83 éves orosz hölgyben több tisztántátás, tartás, tudás, értelem, lelkiismeret, önkritika és büszkeség van, mint az összes oroszban, akut az utóbbi 10 évben hallottunk összesen.

Russians are forcing the migrants to enter the border area & then close the gates behind them, not letting them go back to Russia.
Finns are then forced to take the migrants in to save them from freezing. Russian border guards are not answering the calls from Finnish authorities
Another ghost ship in the Arctic🚢
The Norwegian Polar Institute has released a recording from a Norwegian research vessel that managed to capture a mysterious ship. The ship did not respond to calls for identification, nor did it have its AIS system turned on
I am 34 y.o. Belarusian living in exile in Poland.
FIRST time in my life I will see a peaceful transition of power. To opposition. After democratic elections. With 73% turnout.
My message to you - value and protect your democracy. You can't even imagine what a miracle you have.
This kind of degradation was always the end goal of Musk taking over Twitter, IMO. The coverage of the new Gaza war is just collateral damage; the next US presidential election is where it'll have the biggest impact. (Likely intentionally so.)
Wasn’t Netanyahu supposed to be the strongman that would keep Israel safe? He’s been so busy dismantling democracy he completely missed the invasion plan. Turns out doing a coalition with extremists & making a fanatic your security minister isn’t great security policy.
First thoughts on the ongoing Hamas attack against Israel:
1. Massive Israeli intelligence failure. The last time Israel was blind sided this badly was the '73 war. Though we should note Israel came out on top in that conflict 50 years ago.
2. The scope of this infiltration attack indicates a huge level of planning and preparation spanning months or years. Which underscores point #1.
3. The level of brutality already involved; confirmed executions of Israeli soldiers and civilians, parading the bodies of slain IDF personnel (including 1 female soldier), indiscriminate killing of Israeli civilians, etc will help set the tone for what follows.
4. Israeli declaration of war by the PM gives some indication of what we can expect from Israel by way of response. Also indicates the seriousness with which the government regards this attack/invasion. As does the IDF moving to a war footing and immediately recalling reserves.
5. Expect a significant degree of rally around the flag following this. Internal disputes will be put on the back burner for the time being. This is good news for Bibi.
6. The Israeli left's political influence will likely take a serious beating given their long standing conciliatory (by comparison) stance towards the Palestinians. Again, good news for the current center-right governing coalition.
7. Given the widespread support for the Palestinians being voiced by various Arab governments in the region - the progress of the Abraham Accords has suffered significant damage. How much remains to be seen.
8. I expect a significant Israeli response. Whatever it looks like, it will open with the air campaign we're already seeing the beginnings of. I currently regard future ground operations into Gaza by the IDF as highly likely.
9. While Iran supports numerous proxies & militias in the region, including Hamas & Hezbollah, and has openly praised this attack, it's not yet clear how involved Tehran is prepared to be. Some of their official rhetoric has been bellicose. What Hezbollah chooses to do in over the next few days or weeks may provide insight.
10. Which way Hezbollah jumps will have a major impact. Their involvement would create a two front problem for Israel and bring a significant number of additional enemy forces into the fight.
11. Several Arab nations, including Egypt, have made what could be construed as threats against Israel if the IDF were to launch punitive operations against Gaza in ways they deem disproportionate. Whether this is merely rhetoric or a genuine warning remains to be seen. From some nations, like Egypt, it's a threat Israel must take seriously.
