"Russians who crave revenge for invented causes and revel in propaganda are complicit in all the killings, violence, and war crimes committed by our worthless, blood-soaked state." A Russian woman explains why Russia’s imperial ambitions are destroying the country from within.

There's something darkly ironic about how the 2015 era Russian propaganda push to obfuscate their involvement in the War in Donbas was arguably too effective on western audiences because it's 2026 and people still trot out this talking point despite the Russians not even bothering to push it anymore

KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?

Is this translated from the original German? www.whitehouse.gov/releases/202...

Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller made clear there must be no retreat: “One of the hallmarks of left-wing violence and terrorism is its completely pre-textual and disingenuous appeal to civil liberties in an effort to shield its own violence… When the leftist — who does not believe in freedom, who does not believe in civil rights, who does not believe in any ordinary notion of justice — protests that we are violating his rights, understand the he is lying to try to persuade people who are not closely following the political scene that some injustice has perpetrated against him. We must stay the course and be completely unflinching in the pursuit of justice against these enemies of civilization.”

As a Dane who loves and supports Ukraine, this has long been a horrible embarrassment. The company hides behind legal arguments, but they're utterly bankrupt morally. Politicians have condemned them on moral grounds repeatedly, but they have yet to find the legal basis to punish them effectively.

Russians sunk several barges at the entrance of their naval port pier in Novorossiysk, so that no other Ukrainian drone can enter it. This also confines the remnants of the Russian Black Sea Fleet to this little basin. Russians literally barricaded themselves. Embarrassing..

Ignore any Trump admin and/or Ru apologist talk about progress. Ru demands remain maximalist, outrageous, and, most importantly, disconnected from the realities of the battlefield. Only an immediate ceasefire is progress. The discussion in Moscow today was useless noise. Ru continues its aggression.
