Incredible reporting here on joint Russia-China plan to destroy Starlink: https://t.co/3EcH5dCOgk
If @elonmusk was aware of this plan, it may help explain his mysterious decision last winter to "take off the gloves" in helping Ukraine defeat Russia: https://t.co/19FW2siQ1g
The Lavra in Kyiv 🇺🇦 is a jewel of Christianity of profound cultural and historical significance. There is simply no way Putin 🇷🇺 can justify tonight’s strike against it.
A Russian soldier explains how his unit raped girls aged 10 and 11, forcing mothers to watch - before executing all on the orders from his commander.
The soldier further admits that they did this several times, as they found civilians hiding in basements from the approaching Russians.
This is Russian culture.
This is not World War II footage.
This is Toretsk, Ukraine — and it’s not as far away as you think.
A city that once had over 30,000 residents. Now almost completely erased.
There is no excuse for this. None.
The center of Bakhmut today, three years after the end of the bloody battle for these ruins, the Verdun of our era.
Just a few years ago, this was a well-kept and thriving Ukrainian city of 70,000, famous for its fountains, its long traditions of producing famous local salt and sparkling wine.
It had the Atlantic Hotel, widely known across Donbas. It had good cafes, sushi bars, restaurants, cozy flower-lined alleys.
Now, there's nothing but death, ruins, emptiness, and time that has stopped here forever. Now this is the "Russian world," and of course, there will never be any life here again.
how is it possible to cram so much ignorance--"English-Scott-Irish origin"-- into such a small space?
miracle of a person said to be "world's richest man" has no more grasp of US history than a crumpled paper tissue underfoot in a men's restroom not recently cleaned.
This is a big mistake to allow the aggressor to take something. It was a big mistake at the very beginning, starting with 2014. And even before that, during the attack and occupation of parts of Georgia. And even before that, when Chechnya was occupied, with total destruction and one million casualties – both killed and wounded.
Many mistakes were made. That's why now I don't want to be the President who will repeat the mistakes made by my predecessors or other people. I'm not just speaking about Ukraine. I'm speaking about the leaders of different countries that allowed an aggressive country like Russia to come onto their territory.
Because you can't stop Putin with your kisses or flowers. I never did it and that's why I don’t feel that it's the right way. My advice to everybody – don’t do that with Putin.
Otherwise, there will be a first step, then in five years, he will rebuild his military, increase the number of soldiers, his army will be well trained. Because he has lost a lot of well-trained people. He is losing 30–35 thousand people per month now.
Can you imagine this in the 21st century? Can you imagine – he’s losing 35,000 each month? I'm not sure that he knows about it.
The IOC has banned not the Ukrainian athlete, but its own reputation. Future generations will recall this as a moment of shame.
He simply wanted to commemorate fellow athletes killed in war. There is nothing wrong with that under any rules or ethics.
The IOC intimidated, disrespected, and even lectured our athlete and other Ukrainians on how they should keep quiet about “one of 130 conflicts in the world”.
The IOC has also systemically failed to confront the greatest abuser of international sports and the Olympic Charter — Russia.
A country that started three invasions during the Olympic Truce in the past three decades, implemented the largest state-funded doping program, killed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches, and damaged 800 sports facilities in Ukraine.
These are Russians who must be banned, not the commemoration of their victims. None of them are “neutral”.
If the Olympic Creed says that “the most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part”, then @iocmedia betrayed it completely by preventing @heraskevych from taking part and betrayed 650 Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed by Russia.
We are proud to have Vladyslav who has not betrayed them. Thank you for your principles and bravery.
@elonmusk Hey Elon, hope all is good. Any comment on the emails released by the Justice Department today showing that you were communicating with Jeffrey Epstein about a potential visit to his island between 2012 and 2014? Thanks!
Wow, DOGE uncovered evidence of a single African immigrant who received over $38 BILLION from the United States Government over the last ten years. I can't wait to find out who it was
Bill Clinton: “WE forced Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons, cruise missiles, and strategic bombers, WE promised to protect Ukraine from Russia, WE made Ukraine vulnerable.
So yes, this is OUR war!”
When the US President speaks, not a conman property developer from Manhattan.
South African man pretending to be American while probably working for China, re-tweeting pro-Russian Serb living in Netherlands pretending to be Romanian.
Yet, they accuse us of being "globalists", whatever that is.
23,000 books are currently banned in the US. Many of them are banned based on a single complaint from a parent of a school student who doesn’t like something in the book. But JD fucking Vance et al. are lecturing Europe about freedom of speech.
