❗️/1. After a long pause, Russia is again sending big armored columns into attack. A mass assault with 35 tanks & AFVs on Ukrainian positions took place in the area of responsibility of Azov 1st Corps.

⚡️Russia unleashed a massive overnight missile and drone attack on Ukraine.

A seven-year-old boy was killed in Zaporizhzhia, at least 12 people were injured, and parts of Kyiv were left without power after strikes on homes and energy sites.

What propaganda boom? Russian culture is literally suspecting all of your neighbors to be idiots, lazy, drunkards, and traitors.

If a russian jet will explode over Poland, a natural thinking will be, that the pilot was drunk, and a jet was poorly maintained, and parts were sold for vodka.

My hot take is Europe should get better at stopping sabotage and cyber attacks etc but should remain very reluctant to shoot down fighter jets and big drones unless absolutely necessary.

The Russian propaganda boon of “NATO kills Russian pilot!” vastly outweighs any benefit to Europe imo.

⚡️ NATO reportedly weighs stronger military response to Russian provocations.

According to four NATO officials, the goal is to raise the cost of Moscow's gray-zone operations and strengthen deterrence following a series of incursions by Russian drones and aircraft, the Financial Times reported.

Ukrainians were literally admitted into empire as a highly trained merc force (Cossacks). So it's probably not that different from how Chechens and Dargins people don't feel any sort of threat from the main russian population.

Javanse @javanse.bsky.social · 2d

I've heard an analyst once state: "Ukrainians are not afraid of ru, because they have been an integral part of the empire for too long and most of that time they were a huge chunk of the population: bigger than other ethnicities, comparable 2 "velykoros" population in numbers."

Not a military or social expert, but could daily videos of first-person annihilating russians dressed in uniforms, that look as battered, as if they were worn by 5 generations, influence our global perception of russians as this undefeatable force?

Kraut @derparrot.bsky.social · 2d

I see less and less of the usual "Russia can't be defeated" narrative by the type of people who usually spread and repeat it. Russia's weakness has been far too obvious in the past few weeks.

That's absolutely fascinating, that Merkel's statement about "Poland's fault" came out a day after vladimir putin said on Valdai forum, that Poland should have appeased hitler on Danzig.

I transcribed this demented ramble - he says he talked to Pete Hegseth one year before 9/11 (which he calls "one year ago"), admits he can't remember the title of his own book and claims he was the only one who wanted to kill Bin Laden in 2000 (he wasn't, and the book doesn't even advocate this).

Russians are responsible for the genocidal war of aggression against Ukraine. Putin leads them, but when he's dead Russians will bring forth another dictator.

This war will never end until Russia is defeated catastrophically and Russians undergo the equivalent of deNazification.
