Ya iba siendo hora de ordenarlos, así que mientras trabajo en el siguiente, toca hilo con los artículos que he escrito en el último año.

Different armies fight different wars, with different victory conditions.
Russia is fighting for land. Ukraine is fighting for independence.
That distinction matters because success is measured differently for each side.

[Vitaly @M0nstas]

For Russia, victory is territorial. Maps moving west are evidence of progress.

For Ukraine, victory is existential. The state does not need to conquer moscow or occupy russian territory. It needs to remain sovereign, functional, and capable of denying russia its political objectives.

To give you an idea of scale, during the Rape of Nanking, Japanese soldiers were estimated to have raped 20 to 80 thousand Chinese women.

This report estimates at least 250 thousand women were victimized by these Muslim rape gangs.

🇺🇦👀 Zelensky: We will produce about 10 million drones during this year, but we can double that.

At least 250,000 white British girls have been groomed, raped, and brutalized.

Out of 4.2 million white British girls under 18, that’s more than 6 percent (!!!!)

This is industrialized rape on a scale that should shame a nation.

The politicians who opened the borders and looked the other way belong in prison.

The cops, social workers, and officials who knew exactly what was happening and stayed silent to protect their careers belong in prison.

The ones who covered it up and protected the rapists belong in prison.

Anyone still shielding these monsters today belongs in prison.

And the rapists themselves should hang.

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukraine has gained a significant advantage over the Russians — Starlink satellite communication. This system is now an integral part of our army, enabling stable connectivity with drone operators and command posts, and allowing terminals to be used for so-called middle-strike drones on the territory of occupied Ukraine. Unfortunately.

And the problem does not lie in the risk that these terminals might be switched off for us (though that risk does exist — even if it is not particularly large). The problem lies in the degradation of technological development and complete complacency. It is convenient for our military to use Starlink as a communication source for absolutely everything. That is understandable, and it barely falls under my criticism (although I am convinced that any military organism should have at least three types of communication — just as it should have several logistics routes, not a single Starlink terminal and a single road. The Kursk operation demonstrated this perfectly well).

The problem is that when Starlink was switched off for the Russians, they of course degraded and lost many capabilities. But there was no collapse. Thanks to the development of MASH systems (on which Russia is placing its primary efforts), the construction of WiFi bridges, and certain domestic developments, they managed to maintain command and control of their forces. Yes, they are currently suffering from a large number of drone strikes targeting Starlink. But it is quite likely they will find a countermeasure.

The Ukrainian state (the Ministry of Defence) needs to find a balance between purchasing cheap and effective strike systems that rely exclusively on Starlink, and the promising developments of Ukrainian engineers who have already created several working variations of drone communication systems.
The problem is significantly deeper than it might appear. And it concerns not only aircraft but UGVs as well.

Without X, Henry Nowak would have been known as a "racist" who died in custody.

Without X, no one would know that George Floyd OD'd on Fentanyl.

Oh man, I think people should be looking at logistics (truck) storage bases now. Now, those are looking really interesting these past weeks and will probably get even more interesting as summer goes on...

La amnistía clandestina a ETA. Y todavía hay muchos idiotas influyentes que la niegan y no la quieren ver. Y es la legalización del terrorismo.

Mientras Ucrania hace recuento de daños tras el último ataque masivo ruso, alcanzando de paso varios objetivos en este país, se ha abierto oficialmente el clúster 1 relativo a los Fundamentos, del proceso de adhesión de Ucrania y Moldavia a la UE.

Ha sido en la conferencia en la que se ha abordado la adhesión en donde Zelenski ha planteado nuevamente la posibilidad de reunirse con Putin, incluso en el marco del G7 o en los Estados Unidos.

Trump, por su parte, ha declarado que una vez cerrado el conflicto de Oriente Medio, podría «hacer algo» en Ucrania.

Todo ello en una jornada en la que se han aprobado numerosas sanciones contra Rusia y en la que los combates han continuado en Konstyantynivka o hacia Pokrovske.

Por último, la jornada nos deja también unas interesantes declaraciones del presidente bielorruso, Lukashenko, que parece intentar templar gaitas con Zelenski después de pasados intercambios de acusaciones...

Want some truth?

We weren’t supposed to know about Henry Nowak…

If we did find out about Henry we were supposed to think he was the racist aggressor.

They were caught.
The People are rising up.

X did that.

Now Starmer wants to stop it from ever happening again.

Simple.

[Andrew Lawrence @andrewlawrence]

You know you're living in a healthy democracy when everyone has to pay for a VPN to stop the state from spying on them.

Bluesky won’t be included in the under-16s social media ban.

Twitter/X will be.

This is clearly a political decision, nothing to do with child safety.
