Quickly now! To the banquet hall, where we will endlessly discuss what letterhead and font to use on the mealy-mouthed bullshit statement we'll put out at some point that doesn't really hurt anyone's feelings! That foie gras isn't going to eat itself, you know

Kind of annoying to read if you're Ukrainian, really. 'Great. So they CAN stop russia easily if they wanted to.'

The russians do this to actively undermine the societies they are planted in. They can get to fuck.

Please join me in raising funds for medical cargo buses and trucks with electric jamming for brigades of Ukraine's Khartiia Corps. These automobiles make the difference between whether people survive or not. We can do something very specific and meaningful to help.

It's pretty much always the way. You hear the phrase 'Every accusation is a confession' and it almost always rings true with maga.

Personally, I think there are better ways to frame questions and would expect the BBC to not assume a role, as it were, for any purpose. He knows what he wants to say, it's easy to ask without namechecking or giving any sort of recognition to a shower like Reform.

One of Russia’s main supply routes from China has been shut down. From today, the border with Kazakhstan is fully stopped.. over 5,000 trucks are stuck, inspections are ongoing, and goods are being confiscated. Drones, EW gear, batteries, components, nothing is getting through.

Absolutely pathetic from what is supposed to be a BBC presenter there. Presenting reform's point as though it's the will of the British people FFS. The BBC has been absolute joke for years now. Kuennsberg did a huge amount of damage and they're just continuing her right wing bidding.

Yesterday, that 11-month peaceful resistance was damaged by an irresponsible political opposition. They prematurely declared a “government change” and made promises everyone knew couldn’t be kept. They gave people false hope that the Russian proxy government would fall that very day. 3/12

For more than 300 days, peaceful protests against Russian takeover and the attempt to cement tyranny have continued. During this time - and long before - I’ve seen ordinary people, though brilliant and brave, of all ages perform an extraordinary act: fight tyranny with willpower & empty hands. 2/12

It’s been hard 24h for Georgians. Grave mistakes were made. Yesterday, Georgia lost a battle against Russian takeover - but the fight for freedom &democracy continues. If there’s one thing yst proved, it’s that resistance hasnt disappeared. They tried to bury us. They didn’t know we were seeds. 1/12

🇮🇶 A man who recruited Iraqis for the war against Ukraine was sentenced to life in prison in Iraq.

Criminal Court said that the convict “created groups and sent them to fight in other countries in exchange for financial rewards.”

Someone bereft of principles who will say whatever anyone pays him to/will get the most engagement. Been quiet for some years because these cunts are ten-a-penny nowadays and he probably had a nervous breakdown. Guess he's broke and on the grift again.
