And no one in France knows what a ‘French toast’ is either

18/ 6️⃣ The ongoing problem of desertion on a massive scale. Golikov says that over 60,000 men have been listed as deserters since February 2022, with more than 10,000 of them deserting for a year or more. He rightly says this is a systemic issue.

13/ 4️⃣ "Regular rotations and vacations." Golikov notes that vacations are often more notional than real. Because so many soldiers desert while on leave in Russia, they are often forced to take their leave within occupied areas of Ukraine rather than being allowed to go home.

It is super crazy how elite journalists in this country have like negative solidarity for each other & negative commitment to a free press, like they see other reporters get arrested and are either like "omg jealous, you went viral" or "lol nothing to do with me"

Any time they get questioned about this they accuse the person of "trying to overturn the 2024 election" as if that was a referendum on the constitution existing and the american people voted it out of existence. Madness
