Ukrainian Special Forces Operators increasingly move on pit bikes instead of trucks or ATVs - small footprint, easy to hide in a treeline, much harder for an FPV operator to spot on a frontline road.
"In the end, it comes down to this: Not only was McConnell there for Trump again and again when it counted, he was the one person who could have forestalled Trump’s disastrous return to the White House. He chose not to, despite having condemned Trump’s actions in fomenting the January 6 insurrection." https://t.co/I50PMZ9nJb
Trump’s lie that he publicly warned against the 2003 invasion of Iraq was debunked a full decade ago. He didn’t say “don’t go into Iraq.” Asked six months before the invasion if he supported the idea, he said, “Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.” In early 2003, he said Bush “has either got to do something or not do something, perhaps.”
He started expressing some criticism soon after the invasion and became an explicit opponent of the war in 2004, a year after the invasion. That’s certainly earlier than many other public figures, but it’s not the ignored pre-war warning he regularly describes.
The frontman of a Russian rock band denounced the war in Ukraine onstage in Yekaterinburg. His management now says he was slipped drugs by strangers in his dressing room and that everything he said was "raving." https://t.co/EjuZtnqVMw
3 years ago, Prigozhin’s Wagner Group rebelled against Moscow. Hungary’s foreign minister, Péter Szijjártó, quickly called his Russian friend in concern. Here is a previously unpublished Szijjártó-Lavrov phone call from our Kremlin Hotline investigation. https://t.co/mkM9Ge0PGf

Trump fired hundreds of food inspectors and disbanded independent agencies for food safety. The United States is now experiencing an outbreak of cyclosporiasis – explosive diarrhea – in 42 states.
There are consequences when a nation abandons rational government.
i wonder why stuff like 'the claim about broken international security system is too radical' comes always only from unbombed people from somewhere safe and west?
Life in Kherson is not even life anymore. All day, non stop attacks; drones are everywhere. Blood in the streets.
Another public bus struck by a drone in front of me; more cars.
Power is down and mobile internet is not strong enough to share a report.
Save Kherson!
Proving it’s business as usual at the Fed, Warsh repeated the false claim that the Fed should refrain from speaking about fiscal policy. Deficit spending is a major driver of the high inflation Warsh claims the Fed is trying to fight. It’s part of the Fed’s job to criticize it.
A proposal for @TheEconomist, if you are journalists and not propagandists. You published the Kremlin's view, how about the other side? Not far from your offices, @khodorkovsky_en could tell you about being an oligarch who wanted to change Russia, but in ways Putin didn't like.
Seit Wochen kleben sich Leute in Berlin vor das Rheinmetall Werk - jetzt auch mit PR-Unterstützung von Greta Thunberg.
In dem Werk wird hauptsächlich Artilleriemunition hergestellt - davon wird das meiste an die Ukraine gehen, um sich gegen Russland zu verteidigen.
With a parting message saying it was an honor to work for Ukraine and a 🫶, the country’s 19th prime minister and second woman (and second Yulia) to hold the office, steps down.
HTS had almost a decade to prepare in Idlib, with Turkish military protection. And Syria was a shattered country, dependent on Russia and Iran, both of which were either too distracted or too weakened to save Assad, who’d proved a disastrously incompetent client. Netanyahu and Barnea thought 16,000 armed Kurds could topple a country four times the size of Syria, with air power. Rubio: “bullshit.” Ratcliffe: “farce.” Hanegbi: “science fiction.” https://t.co/CLvPkohaj7
