Shaman the russian pro kremlin singer is a coward: he canceled his concerts in Belgorod....
Shaman, de propagandazanger die in zijn hit Ja Roesski bezingt dat hij een Rus is en tot het einde zal gaan, heeft twee concerten in de grensstad Belgorod (vlak bij 🇺🇦) geannuleerd. De reden: te gevaarlijk. 🤡 👉 www.fontanka.ru/2025/12/03/7...

LOL!! it is a great kremlin propaganda trick: screaming that you ban something from schools (for which you are way too poor). ...
‼️ Russia: “Russia will ban the use of foreign robots for teaching in schools and universities.”

Is that more palatable than admitting you don’t have the funds for either?

Your regular reminder that anyone calling Ukraine a proxy is ignorant or disingenuous. Ukraine has held back Ru military aggression for 11+ yrs completely alone; secured moderate Western aid since 2022 through tireless advocacy; and has now defied US diplomatic pressure to surrender for over 10mo.

Kind reminder: Muscovy is weak. Its economy is trash, its industry is trash, its infrastructure is rotten (if existent), its demography an abyss, its financial system collapsing, its army in rags.

Its only strength is our fear.

Hello

Putin doesn’t want peace; he wants Ukraine.

Help Ukraine keep him on his side of all borders or Europe is next. This has gone on too long. Putin needs to be defeated.

#fakestory factchecks make clear that there is this fakestory (probably kremlinpropaganda) that some of stolen jewels from Louvre were found in Ukraine, seized from a close associatie to Zelenskyy. Do not believe it.

The most disturbing part of the so-called “peace plan” is that there isn’t even a hint of punishing Putin for his crimes against humanity.

Putin is a war criminal, a terrorist, and a murderer. He ordered the genocide of the Ukrainian people. He is responsible for the kidnapping of thousands of Ukrainian children. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost because of him. Putin is the Hitler of our time.

If Russia wanted peace, they would stop killing Ukrainians.
If the US wanted peace, they would stop Russia.

Ok, so no need for Ukraine /europe to make haste with a unfavorable peace deal....
Russia's economic collapse is progressing nicely. Russia's railway monopoly is $51 billion in debt and needs a bailout.

After months of drone strikes on its energy sites, Russia has passed a law that allows reservists to be sent to “special training” to protect critical infrastructure.

We unpack what the new law means for the war in Ukraine.

When it's accepted we're not at peace, but we're being regulaly attacked by a hostile state which considers itself to be at war with us, I think it's just called "not fighting back". 🤷‍♂️
At the Berlin Security Conference, NATO’s Ingo Gerhartz warned that the West is “not at war, but no longer at peace” due to Russia’s threat

Gerhartz noted Russia exploits Europe's bureaucracy, slow weapon production, and divisions to weaken the West

Trump lost his trade war in every possible sense. It hurt the economy; it made us look ludicrous and lawless; and it gave Beijing a chance to reach for world power. And there is nothing Trump can do about any of this except back down and blame others. (1/2)
