Wow. Laura Loomer: "A lot of us just became overly sympathetic to Russia... But now when I see Russians say things like "we need to denazify Ukraine" and "we need to continue our brutal war with Ukraine", while they pretend to be some Orthodox Christian country, but they're slaughtering hundreds of 1000s of young Christians in Ukraine, and then they're supporting actual neo-Nazis in the U.S. I'm like, "Wow, we fell for Russian propaganda", and I fell for Russian propaganda.
I've been so anti-Ukraine for so long, and I have parroted these talking points, thinking that I was saying the right thing, not recognizing how I was being emotionally manipulated by propaganda online.
I felt a little embarrassed, to be completely honest, sending a correspondent @MooreIAm to Ukraine because I thought, well, people are going to attack me, and they're going to say that I'm a hypocrite, and they're not going to be gracious, and they're not going to give me an opportunity to change my opinion."
@jacksonhinkle Here a reminder for you: The lives and mental health of thousands upon thousands of children have been ruined for years to come, and all of this is solely due to Russia’s aggression.
Hands of this Ukrainian girl are shaking after the Russian missile attack - she is very scared. Millions of Ukrainian children have been left without homes, without the opportunity to study, without access to medical services and even drinking water. The war is destroying their childhood. 💔 #StopRussianAggression #StandWithUkraine
@sashameetsrus Maybe you want to translate this to the world? You are just trying to white wash Russian actions, you are just getting aggressive because of the sanctions you deserve.
"She's a little kid, 5 or 6 years old. I took a killshot. We were told to let no one out"
Russian project Gulagu net published a video with the confessions of two convicts, ex-commanders of Wagner PMC subdivisions - Azamat Uldarov and ex convict Aleksey Savichev.
They admit to killing Ukrainian children and civilians in Bakhmut and Soledar.
@BryceMLipscomb@sashameetsrus What “Sasha” doesn’t show is the worst thing of all: the attitude that many Russians seem to have toward the war of aggression—that it’s okay and justified. That is the primary reason the sanctions were imposed in the first place.
Russians have erased entire Ukrainian cities to the ground. The only thing russia brings is death and destruction, which they call “liberation”.
We must help Ukraine survive this genocide and push this evil back into Mordor. Stand with Ukraine!
@HeiskanenKosti Mutta joudut silti koko ajan varomaan sanojasi. Kokeile vaikka mennä huutelemaan sodanvastaisia iskulauseita. Pääset sellaiseen paikkaan, jossa on vähemmän runsas valikoima oluita ja siidereitä. Siinä on se ero vapaan ja diktatuurisen maan välillä.
🇷🇺🔥 A Russian economist who attended the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum organized by Putin a few days ago metaphorically warns society that Russia is in an extremely dire situation. He compares it to a doomed airplane rapidly descending toward the ground.
📌 “I attended all four days of the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, and the whole thing resembles a situation where we are on a plane that is falling… Now, let’s summarize it quickly.”
📌 “Russian economists, companies, investors, officials — all of us are on a plane that is hurtling downward and doomed to crash… The passengers of this plane are discussing the situation, thinking, and sometimes complaining, considering how to stabilize it… However, the real power is in the isolated cockpit (a hint at the Kremlin)… The only thing left for the passengers is to pray that the pilot pulls the yoke toward himself and stabilizes the plane. Therefore, we should pray.”
This is a remarkably candid and pessimistic assessment coming from a Russian expert who participated directly in Putin’s flagship economic event. The airplane metaphor vividly illustrates the sense of helplessness and impending crisis felt even among those inside the system. It highlights the growing disconnect between official propaganda and the harsh economic reality in Russia.

@BryceMLipscomb They could also shout loud „No war“ and watch what happens. You can do it freely in Sweden, France, Italy, the UK and Germany along many other countries without getting assaulted by officials.
