@nytimes "The leaks underscore the vulnerability of Europeβs energy infrastructure as it tries to wean off Russian gas."
The pertinent question is, of course, which parties benefit the most from underscoring that vulnerability? Would Europe truly confront them on it? It seems unlikely.
Those using this event politically - and this goes for both sides - should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. School shootings are not political capital, they are a needless, senseless tragedy. Full stop.
Glorifying the #Izhevsk shooting by associating it with "Russian Resistance" is absolutely vile.
Someone doesn't stock up on live-fire modified firearms and rounds, and then target the school that they graduated from long ago, to "resist" anything - mobilisation or otherwise.
This was a sick individual who'd clearly been planning this horrific attack for some time, and neither his "excuse" nor claims of Nazi sentiment overshadow that. Anyone who makes the conscious choice to walk into a school and gun down innocent kids is a monster.
@Allonby15 @BrandonLewis A decent, honest and dutiful PM wouldn't pretend to still have a mandate as dozens of his most loyal allies tell him both publicly and privately in no unclear terms, "Boris, you're a liability."
The party was already heavily divided, he just caused those divisions to go public.
@BadgerMLC1 @tractorgirly@JustStop_Oil The public is largely with the argument for green energy here and now.
The public is NOT with Just Stop Oil, Extinction Rebellion etc who only do harm to the cause by repeatedly pissing off said public.
But hey, modern activism in a nutshell - any attention is "good" attention.
@LSmaagard @51093930Z @jacksonhinkle @Angelo4justice3 You do understand that the 'photoshopped' image was distributed by Zelenskyy's advisor Podolyak, right?
Also, no edit. It does appear that the body was taken away rather than added though, given the bloodstain. Why remove only one, to stop and take more photos? God only knows.

β Used up last of tobacco before midnight, will hate myself tomorrow but managed it by accident for three months last year... *oh god the year before last, now*... so it can't be too hard, right?
