russia's stocks in freefall. Worst day since 2022. With 4% drop. The reason for it? Putins b-day speech and implications that peace remains elusive

It almost feels like confirmation bias. Still, if major knowers, who disagree a lot, all think the same?

P.S. russian OSINT is currently going both doom like I have never seen before and gradually opening up to call everything ru gov bs. That's also new

Interesting dynamic. Large sways of US public are strongly pro-Ukraine and anti-russia. Party loyalty aside. The leadership thou.....

72% of Dems and 73% of Reps support arming Ukraine and sanctioning Russia;
71% of Dems and 86% of Reps support additional economic sanctions against Russia;

The russian planted relays seem like a major deal. But guns for hire sabotage have been increasing in both Ukraine and in EU

And in a 'flock' of 'Gerani," different types of payloads can be combined and in conjunction with relays, the same 'Gerani-miners' can operate, which greatly expands the versatility of their use.

Russian blogger “Rybar” of "Eternal flight brother" fame is claiming that part of russian success with Geran-2 drones is hidden ground stations within Ukraine that are part of the radio relay system. Not swarm but drone flock 1/2

UN is releted how?

But the main point, take the money from rule brakers? So from Iran, China but also Israel and gasp the US? If you add state owned firms and individuals, you can take half of the worlds capital. How would that work?

Not so simple. They are criminals, should we be? Whos money, state, state owned businesses, individuals? Who gets the money? Ukraine directly? How? Used for weapon payments? And 3rd party fear is real. Should we care about 🇸🇦/🇲🇱 funds?

Take it all! But take it legally

an interesting note re: scaling image moderation. in the past 24 hours:

at least 500 thousand images in posts (not considering # of images, just if an image was in the post)
86 thousand avatars
500 thousand url thumbnails
58 thousand videos.

that's a lot to moderate!

It's double macabre. US has a humongous amount of soy and farmers stuck with it. If only there was a plan to use said crop to aid dying children. We could call it US Aid or something. Alas, it's an impossible fantasy, couldn't possibly be real

Children around the world have died because Trump and Musk needlessly destroyed USAID. These are some of their stories.

Based on recent data, #China is now the biggest exporter of goods to Ukraine.
Nine out of ten imported #drones are of Chinese origin. How did this happen? Why can't Moscow do anything about it?
