At North Korea’s 80th anniversary parade, they rolled out the Hwasong-20 — a solid-fuel ICBM claimed to reach 15,000 km with multiple warheads.
Now they’re even sending regular troops to fight for Russia in Ukraine.

Russia destroys Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and then kills those who try to bring back the light.

Two energy workers were killed and three injured in a drone strike in Chernihiv Oblast.

💔This video just broke me.
There’s not enough words for this pain, seeing Ukrainian children carried from ruins after a russian hit.

There’s not enough tears for the grief, seeing the life of yet another child be taken.

There’s not enough hate of russia! No punishment big enough for their crimes!

Friends,

Winter is coming. Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure will increase.

Russia has ramped up drone production and is changing its attack tactics. There will be blackouts in winter. #Kyiv will be Russia’s main strategic and symbolic target⤵️

Wenn Trumps Zölle gegen China eines für uns Europäer zeigen, dann: Auf irgendeinen Deal ist kein Verlass.

Dafür auch noch unsere Standards opfern, wäre absurd.

Akzeptieren wir die neue Welt und suchen uns neue Verbündete.

An employee of the Chernihiv regional energy company was killed and several colleagues were injured by a Russian drone strike today.

These civilian workers were targeted while in their vehicles, risking their lives to provide essential services.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 10d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

Not only is this rude, inappropriate, partisan, costly, and illegal, it reveals the fundamentally anti-American idiocy of this administration’s policy of handing over to China the most important economic sector of the 21st century.

@MrAndyNgo
Now that the local and national press have started to cover the Portland ICE area round-the-clock in reaction to the President, Antifa have devised a plan where they are encouraging one another to come in animal costumes.

The costumes serve the function of masking the violent extremism to make the direct action appear like a family-friendly gathering on camera, and to whitewash the past ultraviolence.

In 2019, Antifa devised a similar plot by giving out free "milkshakes" at a protest. But they couldn't contain their bloodthirst and nearly killed me when they saw me. In 2020, they mobilized a fake "Wall of Moms" where female Antifa supporters and members wore yellow shirts to act as human body shields while violent rioters behind them hurled projectile weapons.

And, as he will never say, Poland in 1939 declined to invade the USSR as a German ally. And then the USSR agreed to invade Poland as a German ally. Details in my book "Black Earth"

Anton Gerashchenko @antongerashchenko.bsky.social · 8d

❗️Putin's logic:Poland has provoked Hitler who wanted to find a peaceful solution:

Poland made many mistakes.Germany offered to resolve the issue of Danzig&the Danzig Corridor peacefully.The Polish leadership at the time categorically refused&,in the end, became the first victim of Nazi aggression
