I want to tell you about Spain.

It's 1975. Francisco Franco just died. For nearly four decades, this man ran Spain with an iron fist, military dictatorship, political repression, the whole thing. And now he's gone.

The Francoist machine, the generals, the loyalists, the entire apparatus, they had every tool they needed to stop what came next. They had the guns. They had the institutions. They could have blocked democratisation cold.

They didn't.

Why?

Not because they had some moral awakening. Not because they suddenly believed in democracy. They made a calculation. They looked at the future and thought: if we fight to keep total control, we might destroy the thing we're trying to keep.

🔴 Russia is dropping massive guided bombs right into the center of Sloviansk, slaughtering civilians and turning neighborhoods into rubble 🤬

This is PURE terror tactics. They just dropped three heavy FAB-250 guided bombs right on a crowded residential area in broad daylight.

A 67-year-old guy was literally crushed to death under the rubble of his own home, absolute madness. Then they slammed an FPV drone straight into a fuel truck at a gas station to cause a massive fire.

They're trying to burn the whole city down because their ground assaults are not what they seem. 🇺🇦 🇷🇺

🔴 Ukraine's drone swarm is absolutely decimating Russia's fleet, hunting down 15 more ships overnight and turning the Sea of Azov into a total graveyard.

This is a COMPLETE slaughter. Commander Magyar just confirmed they've hammered 105 Russian ships in the last 8 days alone.

Overnight they smashed another 15 vessels; everything from oil tankers to cargo ships.

They also blasted 9 electrical substations in Crimea, plus an S-400 air defense system. Russia is getting caught completely naked out there. 🇺🇦 🇷🇺

💀 Ukrainian defenses just collapsed in Rodynske as Russian forces completely wiped them out and pushed deeper into Donetsk 🤬
════════════════════════════════════
Satellite imagery is showing a brutal reality check on the ground: the Russians aren't just creeping forward, they're breaking through.
═══════════════════════════════════
They steamrolled from Vasylivka right into Myrne and are already pushing down Pushkinska Street to target Hulive.
════════════════════════════════════
Rodynske has completely fallen → the Ukrainian presence there has been TOTALLY erased. 🇷🇺 🇺🇦

💀 Colombian families are burning Ukrainian flags in Bogotá: demanding their government stop sending their men to die in someone else's war 🤬

This is gut-wrenching. Colombia already has thousands of mercenaries deployed in Sudan fighting for the RSF. Their young men are being used as cannon fodder in foreign wars while their families back home bury empty coffins.

At some point you got to ask: who's profiting off these guys, and who's actually protecting them? 🇨🇴

Iran shot down a US LUCAS drone over Bandar Abbas last night.

🚨 France just flew a human kidney by DRONE between hospitals and nailed the transplant 🔥

This is actually incredible. A hospital in Vendée, France used a drone to transport a kidney for transplant, and it worked perfectly.

32°C heat outside and they kept that organ at exactly 4°C the entire flight. No damage, no delay, straight into the patient.

This is the future of organ transport right here. No traffic, no wasted time, no organs lost because some ambulance got stuck on a highway.

🚨 Estonia just told Ukrainian men of fighting age: no more hiding here, go home and fight.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

Ukraine tried to hit TWO Russian airbases deep inside Russia using AI-powered drones smuggled in by balloon, and the FSB says they stopped it.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

Crimea’s supposed to be Russia’s fortress, now it’s a massive liability bleeding resources Putin desperately needs elsewhere. Mobile air defense now escorting logistics because drones are eating trucks for breakfast.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

Crimea campaign is straight-up shaping operations prepping something bigger on the ground... 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Empty roads, panic buying, air defenses pulled away, logistics choking.
Zelenskyy swore he’d take it back. Russia’s gaming out Ukrainian amphibious assaults because they know this pressure is building toward something nasty.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

Ukraine’s turning occupied Crimea into an unlivable shithole and the locals are starting to freak out... 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Hours-long gas lines, businesses shutting down, empty shelves, no diesel. People can’t work, can’t pay workers, can’t feed their families. Tourism dying. Putin’s “liberated” paradise is collapsing under precision strikes.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

Ukraine’s not even in NATO yet but they’re center stage for the third year running, and winning... 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
Largest combat-experienced army in Europe that actually wants to be on the better side.
Degrading the Russian military while Russia helps Iran kill Americans. Enemy of my enemy is my friend, plus they share western values. This partnership makes sense.

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

NATO creators are exhausted with Trump’s public America-bashing but they still want the US strong... 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
They get tired of the drama and Greenland rants, but deep down they know the alliance needs America.
Overall mood at the summit? Hopeful. Ukraine gaining ground, support locked in. Things are moving in the right direction.

🔴 The first biological weapon in history wiped out a THIRD of Europe; and it was completely deliberate 💀

A Mongol commander was losing soldiers to plague during a siege in Crimea. So he did the unthinkable, started catapulting infected corpses over the city walls.

Genoese merchants panicked and fled by ship to Sicily. The rats came with them.

By 1353, up to 60% of Europe was dead. Labor markets collapsed, the church fractured, entire power structures crumbled, all because one psychopath decided to weaponize his own dead.

🔴 Senator Lindsey Graham is dead. He had over Ten visits to Ukraine during a full-scale war, while most politicians wouldn't even tweet about it without polling first.

He was pushing harder sanctions on Russia right up until his passing.

Whatever you thought of his politics, Ukraine just lost one of the few Americans who actually gave a damn. 🇺🇦🇺🇸

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

🔥 Ukraine just smashed 14 MORE Russian ships in one night, that's 90 vessels hit in 7 days straight 💀

Overnight drones hit 14 ships in the Sea of Azov and Kerch Port, 10 oil tankers and 4 ferries. This is day SEVEN of nonstop strikes.

The commander of Ukraine's drone forces says 90 ships have been hit so far.

Putin's maritime supply lines through Kerch are getting bled dry, one tanker at a time. 🇺🇦🇷🇺

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

🔴 Lindsey Graham is dead. Trump releases statement on the passing of the longtime US Senator ❗️

Love him or hate him, the man was a fixture in American politics for decades. Started as McCain's right hand, then became one of Trump's loudest allies, that pivot alone was one of the wildest character arcs in DC history.

Trump put out a statement, which tells you Graham stayed in the inner circle till the end.

A whole era of Republican politics just closed out. 🇺🇸

[Evangelina. @TAproject1st]

🚨 Iran just published a hit list. Trump, Netanyahu, and European leaders personally named for "hits" 🤬

Netanyahu, his ministers, the head of Israel's presidential administration, all named. Then they threw Trump on there too, plus European leaders.

This isn't diplomacy. This is a regime openly telegraphing assassination targets like it's a menu. Whether it's posturing or real, putting named leaders on a public revenge list is insane escalation. 🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸

🚨 Russia claims it wrecked Odesa and Chornomorsk ports overnight, ships, fuel tanks, all of it 💀

Odesa port got hit: military cargo spots and a logistics warehouse from a company called Odtrans.

Chornomorsk got it as well: fuel storage tanks, two cargo ships, a ferry, and a patrol boat supposedly providing cover.

None of this is fully verified yet. Russia's MoD loves to exaggerate, but if even half is real, that's a serious blow to Ukraine's supply lines. 🇷🇺🇺🇦
