☠️ Another former deputy of Shoigu, Colonel General Yuri Sadovenko, died suddenly in Russia. He was only 56 years old.
They say he had heart problems. Shoigu's other former deputies were jailed for corruption and the utter plunder of the Russian army after his resignation.

This is a case study in how a US Right wing elite is collectively now so extremely online that it is caught in a groupthink death spiral which generates the exact opposite outcomes to what they demand
A transatlantic showdown over tech policy (as opposed to, say, net zero) could actually have a unifying & galvanising political effect within the EU. The union’s digital regulations are broadly popular and many voters actually want more, not fewer, controls on Big Tech.

Putin is getting ready to raise Russian taxes again to fund the war.📈
He is already preparing Russians by saying publicly that they would be "fully understanding" and "support" tax increases if the money was used for war.
This will accelerate the ongoing economic collapse.

Despite all Putin's bluster about Russia being a superpower, economists admit it's as behind as in the 1990s while trying to suggest that backwardness is an advantage for rapid innovation.
