  1. Ukraine going to pick up 100 Rafeles, including some from French reserves.
  2. The Qanon and Pizzagate types are not forgetting this. Their movement may have fallen apart after they realized they were being taken for a ride by "Q", but those fuckers are still passionate about child trafficking (witness the Sound of Freedom movie which raked in a shitload of cash).
  3. Russian Oil Plunges With Top Producers Days Away From Sanctions - Bloomberg
  4. There will be a wreck one day. I followed this guy for a while, and he was in the top tier of wingsuit flyers, and then he ran into a tree and died.
  5. Yep. She may have been right about the war, but she could have done her protests in the US and not held the little photo ops that she did.
  6. While looking at that, came across this Peter Thiel Cuts Stake In PayPal Mafia Company Tesla. Musk Issues This Warning.
  7. Yeah, I get that, but I just remind myself that the Russian drone operators are training on Ukrainian civilians, animals, and vehicles.
  8. And then we are going to find out the files can't be released because they are part of an active investigation that Trump ordered this past week.
  9. Pretty sure she was fired for saying she was closer to Trump than his daughters. And she had her lawyer deny they were banging, but it's interesting that it came up in old emails, and is not some new accusation. Her wikipedia photo is weird as fuck, being cropped from this:
  10. He probably didn't, it's more about making MAGA deny it.
  11. Wonder where Russian air defenses are concentrated
  12. Putin goes after his own war cheerleaders Roman Alekhin ran a fervently pro-war Telegram channel, advised a Russian governor and received military honours for fighting in Ukraine. He was a poster boy for so-called Z-bloggers, self-styled social media war correspondents unflinchingly loyal to the ideology behind Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. Then, the Russian state designated him a “foreign agent”. The spectacle of Mr Alekhin’s dramatic rise and fall has spread fear among the online community that for nearly four years has apparently been allowed to critique and criticise the way the war is being fought. While anti-war activists were jailed in their thousands, a growing movement of ultranationalist military bloggers (or “milbloggers”) appeared to be rewarded with money, status and influence. But Russia watchers have long warned that the Kremlin’s tolerance of them would run out – that time might be now. Keir Giles, a senior Russia analyst at Chatham House, is surprised it had not happened sooner. “This is the kind of dissent that, if it was directed at the political system, would have earned reprisals long ago,” he said. The Z-blogosphere “was seen by some as a safety valve, a means by which critics could vent without actually challenging the overall state policy”, Mr Giles told The Telegraph. “That avenue has now been closed off.” Mr Alekhin, who was accused of misusing funds he raised for Russian troops after he flaunted a new sports car and an expensive watch on social media, isn’t the first of the milbloggers to fall foul of the state he so ardently championed, as the regime’s machinery of repression begins to eat it its own. Sergey Markov, a prominent pro-Kremlin pundit, was listed as a “foreign agent” in August, a label with Stalin-era connotations once reserved for Russia’s enemies but increasingly employed at will by the state apparatus to silence any criticism. Experts believe that Mr Markov was punished for his open support of Azerbaijan amid the collapse of Baku’s relations with Moscow. It marked a mighty fall from a once-trusted propagandist for Putin. ---- Markov had been featured on Russian state TV I believe.
