‼️ Russia: “The unexpected loss of access to the websites of Google, Apple, Github, and Samsung that Russian users experienced on Tuesday may be a test run for a blocking of these resources in Russia, according to IT experts.” It would not surprise me at all. ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/07/14/v...

🧵Inside a July war council, Ukraine’s generals had a problem. The drone campaign was succeeding, but they hated the man running it. The new Defense Minister is a 35-year-old tech executive, and he is treating a bleeding army like a startup. 1/🧵

Ukraine 🇺🇦 turned Angry Birds into contactless delivery. The robot ATV brings the FPVs, and Moscow 🇷🇺 will soon report the package was intercepted on the porch.

Another peaceful evening of Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Angry Birds is breaking out across Russia’s 🇷🇺 refinery belt. One wave is heading toward Tver, with air defense active in Kaluga. Another is moving toward Saratov. Targets: Refineries, Chemical Plants, and Heroic Official Optimism. 💥🔥

Ukrainian 🇺🇦 Angry Birds are back. Russian 🇷🇺 sources say 210 drones are inbound to “improve the motherland.” By morning, Moscow will celebrate a flawless air-defense victory over several highly successful explosions. 💥

Russia 🇷🇺 came to Lyman 🇺🇦 hunting for a breakthrough, only to find a scrapyard instead. Ukraine smashed the assault: 2 tanks, 5 APCs, 7 IFVs, and more than 40 buggies and quad bikes destroyed.

Bakhmut was supposed to be Russia’s 🇷🇺 trophy. Nearly 3 years later, the Russian army is losing a neighborhood in Chasiv Yar next door. That is an astonishing amount of blood and concrete to spend proving you can flatten a city and still lose a fight with the next block.🇺🇦

Everyone has a fantasy ending for the Ukraine war. Here’s the grown-up one: don’t fix Russia—box it in. Freeze the war in place, arm Ukraine to the teeth, and let time chew on Putinism. I make the case in "Caging the Colossus": 👇🎧 open.substack.com/pub/professo...

I also explain why it looks the way it does. There is reason for all of it. So you better read that thread before you ask questions about that graph. I’m happy to answer questions most of the time, but my time is limited, and the answers you seek are probably there.

Last month, when reporting September’s loading numbers, Interfax said the loading plan for October 2025 would 3.052 million tons per day 3.052 x 31=94.612 million tons That’s less that what they actually reportedly shipped www.interfax.ru/business/105...

I know I don’t discuss the volumes of these other bonds very often. The government hasn’t been placing them this year and it’s only a fraction of the total. But in case you were curious. Here are the volumes of the AD bonds as of 14 August

It is only a matter of time before someone on the interwebs plays the last few minutes of the "summit" with the Curb Your Enthusiasm track. Heck it has probably already happened. It would be funny if it weren't so awful, tragic, and stupid. Many more people are going to suffer and lose their lives.

Here’s what I wish more people understood on a fundamental level. Russia making budget cuts is a problem because all of this stuff was already falling apart. They weren’t paying for the stuff you might think they would. So now image things with even LESS money.

It also means that the government brings in less rubles per barrel of oil. So if the government decides to move it, as many have been predicting, expect even “official” inflation to increase.

“Experts expect a slowdown in price growth with the start of the new harvest in July.” Note: That doesn’t mean that the price growth WILL slow down. There is often a belief that prices will go down then.
