Never seen before footage of Tiananmen Square Protest

🇩🇪 Engines from the German company MAN continue to arrive in Russia, an investigation by the Dossier Center and the Süddeutsche Zeitung has shown.

They are supplied to Russia via a Turkish company, where they are installed on the Sobol border boats.

The Turkish company does not indicate Russia as the final buyer, so the manufacturer may not know where the products are going, but experts say that without engineers from the manufacturing company, the engines cannot be installed on Russian boats.

Lots of pro russian Irish people telling me to ‘go to the front lines & leave Ireland’

I’ve just come here from Nikopol. The press armour is still in my bag. I watched Russian drones hunt civilians with my own eyes. That’s why the indifference here is so despicable, especially while Ireland still supplies alumina to Russias war machine.

I’m not going anywhere. This investigation continues

[Nico Lange @nicolange_]

Putins Terrorangriffe auf Kyjiw ändern an der Front nichts, gewinnen den Krieg nicht für Putin und bringen die Ukrainer nicht zur Aufgabe. Es ist nur verbrecherischer Terror mit sinnloser Zerstörung, der die Verkommenheit und Brutalität des russischen Regimes zeigt.

[toomas hendrik ilves @IlvesToomas]

Enough, already.

Ireland doesn’t want to discuss EU common defence clause article 42.7 during its presidency

Lies about its alumina plant supplying Russian drone manufacture.

All in the same week.

But did enjoy getting EU bailout during the financial crisis.

Solidarity for me but not for thee

[John O’Brennan @JohnOBrennan2]

Ireland cannot pretend to operate a “values based” foreign policy if we continue to protect a Russian oligarch owned company which sends its products to Russia to slaughter Ukrainian civilians.

Only 0.6% of the alumina goes to other EU states, according to Irish Times.

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

⚡️Data reveals Irish alumina factory exporting more product to Russia than government claimed.

Ireland's prime minister claimed that including Aughinish Alumina in the EU's next sanctions would harm Europe more than Russia, but evidence shows otherwise.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 ROLAND GARROS GOT UNCOMFORTABLE

Ukrainian tennis player Oleksandra Oliynykova beat a Russian opponent at Roland Garros for the first time in her career, then said the quiet part out loud.

“Many Russian athletes actively participate in propaganda, play in Gazprom-linked tournaments, and openly support Putin,” she said after the match.

She also said the WTA pressured her for months over public comments about Russian players and the war, demanding she stop naming certain athletes and threatening fines or even disqualification.

So a Ukrainian player speaks about propaganda and aggression, and suddenly the problem is her tone.

That tells you plenty about the double standard.

Ukrainian soldier records what he thinks will be his final video as his unit is surrounded by Russian forces.

Look at the eyes of the soldier, you will feel this video.

BROWDER: Lavrov called Rubio and threatened U.S. interests in Ukraine. Russia supplied information to Iran to target U.S. interests in Middle East.

Truly astounding to watch how Trump administration dealing with Russia right now. That would have been red line under any other U.S. government, any political party, at any other time in history.

I’m old enough to remember that if Russia made any kind of threat against U.S. interests, the U.S. would respond with most blistering, dangerous threats against Russian interests, and nobody would do anything about it.

That's how Cold War and post-Cold War era functioned. Every American president, every Republican and every Democrat, took very strong line with Russia, and any nasty thing they did was met with most severe and aggressive reprimand.

[Richard Blumenthal @SenBlumenthal]

Russia’s Foreign Minister Lavrov says American diplomats should leave Ukraine—to avoid their blood thirsty bombs. In Ukraine now, I’m seeing firsthand brave American diplomats who refuse to be cowed by Russian bullying.

Ich beobachte dieses Dreieck im Ölmarkt inzwischen ziemlich genau.
Ehrlich gesagt wirkt die Struktur alles andere als beruhigend.
Sollte der Ausbruch nach oben kommen, könnte dem Markt plötzlich wieder klar werden, wie massiv die Unterinvestitionen im Energiesektor in den vergangenen Jahren tatsächlich waren. Viele Probleme wurden schließlich nicht gelöst, sondern nur von der schwächeren Konjunktur überdeckt.

Gerade Europa scheint mir dabei besonders verwundbar.
Man kann nicht gleichzeitig deindustrialisieren, klassische Energiequellen zurückdrängen und erwarten, dass Energie dauerhaft billig bleibt.

Deshalb halte ich Ölpreise von über 150 Dollar inzwischen keineswegs für ausgeschlossen.
Wenn man Geldentwertung und die zunehmende Fragilität des gesamten Energiesystems berücksichtigt, wirkt Öl langfristig betrachtet vielleicht sogar noch überraschend günstig.
Und Märkte neigen dazu, solche Realitäten irgendwann sehr plötzlich einzupreisen.

OK OK, forget what I said a few days ago - and a couple of days before that. THIS is the absolute worst photo of Trump ever taken.

Under no circumstances should this be retweeted. Fuckface would be devastated to see it everywhere.

[Anonymous @YourAnonCentral]

There is a major campaign against @kajakallas underway. It is being spearheaded by Russian intelligence, but, interestingly, MAGA and pro-Israel slop accounts have joined in. The objective is to remove her from her position in the EU; she poses a threat to their operations.

Zwischenruf: Während Russland mit Unterstützung Pekings Krieg gegen Europa führt, greift China die industrielle Basis Europas an. Sich aus Frust über die USA in die Arme Chinas zu werfen, wäre Selbstmord aus Furcht vor dem Tod. https://t.co/EvXLqxZUG8

Taiwan makes almost 70% of the world’s semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips powering your phone, your car, and the AI race.

If China controls Taiwan, the Communist Party gains leverage over the world’s most critical tech supply chain. That’s not just a threat to Taiwan’s 23 million people living in a thriving democracy — it’s a threat to global freedom, security, and the future itself.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

They start a war with Iran, can't win it and then tell everyone "Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Let them board a ship. This is their war, not ours."
What a bunch of fucking idiotic losers.
THIS IS THE USA'S WAR.

The Scariest Photo in My Gallery...

In the evening, I learned about a seriously wounded man who couldn't be carried away. He had been lying there for a long time, waiting for help, while an enemy drone hovered above him, watching for an evacuation team. But the company commander seized the moment and risked his life to go get him. And they did it - they brought him to the nearest shelter.

Late at night, I went there, hoping I could still help. Several hours of struggle, five or six failed attempts to insert an IV - no more veins left... One last time, by some miracle, I found a vein. We started injecting solutions, his blood pressure rose, a few more injections, and finally - we exhaled. He was stable.

The evac team arrived, we loaded him into the vehicle, and I said: "That's it, boy, hold on. It's over now. The doctors are waiting for you. Just a little longer, and everything will be fine."

They drove away. I sat down, and at that very moment, my combat medic took this photo. A second later, we heard a powerful explosion. Then-silence. Our evacuation team never made contact again. Russians were waiting for them.

Everyone was killed.

When I joined the army, many people asked me: "Are you going to avenge your husband? Do you want blood?" And I always answered: "I'm not here to kill. I'm here to save lives - so that no one else, like my husband, is left without medical care on the battlefield."

They also asked if I would treat prisoners. My answer was always yes. It was my duty.

Not anymore.

I don't want to save anymore. I want to kill. And I want to see them die. I want to see their mothers and wives screaming over their graves.

I will not help any prisoner.

I don't care about your humanity, your rules of war, your conventions.

Damn you, russians.

You, your children, and your grandchildren - for all the grief you have brought to our land.
