Eternal Kitch of the Vacant Mind. Trump’s version of the pyramids, combined with Lenin’s Tomb may leave it's stain on American history and future direction of the Republic. A golden statue in a temple to Trump's ego, where the faithful gather to worship. youtu.be/0nQUqyOo6bc

This is not a joke – Trump's rendering of his Presidential library Tower is so close to our worst fears of the dark dystopian hole down which the U.S. has fallen, and into which it’s dragging the world. But it is unfortunately NOT an April Fool’s prank. youtu.be/0nQUqyOo6bc

Caolan Robertson landed a unique interview with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine, at a critical inflection point in the war. Find out how it happened, and how Caolan captured the deeply human side of the greatest wartime leader of our times. @caolanrob.bsky.social - youtu.be/Gmx6yb4LCqA

Is Russia weakening or just mutating into a harsher, more repressive and exploitative wartime system? With eminent historian Mark Galeotti we discuss the internet shut down, communication issues on the front line, Ilya Remeslo and dissent within the regime. youtu.be/OJC9TBshl8g

1/2🧵 Another good episode - as always - from Mr. Fink👌👇 My main takeout is that the #Russia - #Ukraine war is a clash of systems. If we zoom all the way out, Ukraine is fielding freedom, innovation, and communication. On the other hand, Russia…⬇️

russia’s genocidal war on #Ukraine 🇺🇦 is driven by more than a given tyrant. It reflects a history, a culture, and a society that sustains it. Europe can and must do more to help Ukraine expel the invaders chakhoyan.substack.com/p/the-bloods...

They didn't protest the invasion of Ukraine or the war crimes in Bucha or Mariupol. They didn't protest when Navalny was murdered in a prison cell. Russia's mysterious cattle slaughter prompts protests, but reveals the limitations of dissent in Russia. youtu.be/WUvRhEBiuSo

Alarm sounded by regime loyalists – Russia’s own Z-patriots warn of a new revolution. Maxim Kalashnikov's warns of a collapse of Russian Empire from within — under the weight of a war that has demanded too much sacrifice and provided too few benefits. youtu.be/dTZHHZ6rcog

Trump’s businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection six times between 1991 and 2009. Is he about to bankrupt the world economy with an energy shock - because of his escalating war against Iran? Global Economy Shock is coming, courtesy of Trump. youtu.be/SbTiQCZbvbQ

Trump's chaotic and escalating war in the Middle East is about to deliver a global energy shock. Especially if the acceleration towards a ground war in Iran continues. Could 'Master Strategist' and 'humble Genius' Trump crash the Global economy? @tashecon.bsky.social - youtu.be/SbTiQCZbvbQ

No ICE. No war. No Kings. #nokings

Putin's defeat seems inevitable - as he exhausts Russia's resources and people, while Ukraine scales its defense tech, builds out elite army regiments, and Europe has barely got started in terms of its potential to support Ukraine militarily! With Elvira Bary - youtu.be/XD7Oid66804

World is in crisis on the whim of Trump and a cabal of grifters and sycophants. It's about to get so much worse. It's not politics, but grift on a global scale. Geopolitics disintegrates on the Event Horizon of Trump's Malignant Narcissism! @malcolmnance.bsky.social - youtu.be/6MtWciTMFgg

Three of Russia's oil ports ablaze — Putin's economy is drowning in the smoke. Meanwhile the U.S. has eased sanctions on Russian oil while Trump schmoozes with Putin's envoys in Florida. But Ukraine is strong, and Trump is the emperor without any clothes. youtu.be/we4zR3hAirc

Russia's spring offensive hits a Drone Wall, losing eighty percent of assault troops, in a single engagement on the first day of its much-heralded spring offensive. It’s not going well Vladimir, but your Generals are probably not telling you the truth. youtu.be/H6EsLq-bLdo

Inside the Kremlin, something unprecedented stirred. According to those close to him, Putin allegedly began to think seriously about ending the war in Ukraine. Not through the theater of negotiations. But then the war in Iran started, and Putin hesitated. youtu.be/_DPt3mwO0oQ

Putin has disappeared, the internet is axed, the economy in ruins and the urban population 'irritated'. Is Kremlin in crisis mode, faced with an unwinnable forever war, and potentially an elite 'Civil War' to force a change in direction?! @jjsmart.bsky.social - youtu.be/aDLT6cx-OqU

The Moscow public was shielded from the war. They felt untouched and untouchable. Everything was fine, until it was not. That moment has arrived. The showcase city is going dark. The smart city has been switched off. The next stage: terror in the darkness. youtu.be/79v4hZfe2DA

You probably haven’t ever heard of Ilya Remeslo – a mid-level regime propaganda hack. He built his entire career attacking Putin's critics like Navalny. On Tuesday, he turned the tables on the vertical of power and dished the dirt on his Kremlin masters. youtu.be/GzpnKzxGBX0

By his actions it's clear and unequivocal - Trump answers to Putin and acts to benefit Russia's foreign policy agenda. Why is Trump trying so hard to save Putin's autocracy, undermining democratic Ukraine and European allies at every turn? With Adam Dunigan - youtu.be/bi9JO9cx7WU

Ilya Remeslo and the return of the Psikhushka. A man who had spent a decade doing the Kremlin's dirtiest work — hounding dissidents, filing legal complaints against journalists, and personally helping to put Alexei Navalny behind bars — turned on Putin. youtu.be/2AG1UbFuJNU

What is Russia testing? A drone crashes on a Lithuanian lake — falling from the sky onto a NATO member's territory — twenty kilometers from border with Belarus. Accident or test? Could this be a trial run for a major provocation by Russia against Europe? youtu.be/VrL6qDN8NLg

Drone warfare has caught America totally unprepared in Middle East, despite the opportunity the Pentagon had to closely observe the evolution of drone warfare in Ukraine over 4 years (both offensive and defensive drone tactics and tech). With ken Harbaugh - youtu.be/FtpBZMK4Osg

Ukraine burns Russia’s Baltic oil lifeline. Another unintended consequence of Trump’s war in the Middle East. Ukraine had to act fast – and acted in the clearest way possible – kinetic 'long-range' sanctions to shut down Russia's oil exports and revenues. youtu.be/wSyk7UoR81E

Is Russia helping Iran? Of course, they are. Putin seems to have admitted this, and sees it as another way to manipulate Trump, to gain some advantage in his war against Ukraine. What is the impact of that support in helping the Iranian regime to survive? youtu.be/r8he2abc62A

Where's Putin? Disappearing dictator feeds paranoia and rumor in the capital of the Empire of Lies! Exacerbated by a crackdown on the internet and messaging platforms and Putin is accused of damaging the effectiveness of his own military. @annafromukraine.bsky.social - youtu.be/-1fzDSZFl_M

We are closer to global conflagration than at any other time since WW2. The next World War is just a hair trigger away. Realignment of the world based on competing imperium (regional hegemonic powers) has led to escalating violence and chaos. @general-ben.bsky.social - youtu.be/OhW7670sNIA

NATO just got an uncomfortable lesson from a navy that has no big ships. Ukraine, in naval exercises, “sank” a NATO frigate and won all five tested scenarios. Ironic that Ukraine is acting as leader and teacher within an alliance it cannot formally join. youtu.be/gJP5D0S_Fq8

Putin's worse nightmares are being realized as 'Moscow falls Silent." Russia is losing influence, power and allies. The internet is down in Moscow and now St Petersburg, and Russia does not have the capacity to prop up allies in 'axis of authoritarians'. youtu.be/KKCbp7tLUxI

This isn’t just another “Russia is collapsing” story. What's happening is more interesting — and revealing. The Kremlin’s drone war machine is slowing. Money is running out and pressure is building. Putin’s loudest propagandists are no longer hiding it. youtu.be/9mmtmb4N5VY

A damaged Russian LNG tanker is drifting through the Mediterranean – European authorities have labelled it an ecological time-bomb. The vessel is an illegal sanctions-evader and environmental time bomb. Russia is taking no responsibility for consequences. youtu.be/HvoS7vvKF1E

As the AI revolution accelerates, we need to ask – "is our AI sentient?" CEOs keep saying “no”, but their own internal reports suggest they’re hedging. In testing, Anthropic reports the model would “assign itself a 15–20% probability of being conscious” youtu.be/fVGMDa-zUmg

If drone interceptors have NOT been combat tested In Ukraine, there are serious doubts about whether they will work when it counts. Ukraine has a unique opportunity to export defensive technology and skills, based on its rapidly evolving drone ecosystem - youtu.be/fF1zBYUsEQ0

Make it make sense. Iran helped Russia attack Ukraine; Russia is also providing data to Iran to target U.S. military assets in the Middle East. Yet Trump is lifting oil sanctions on Russia. None of it makes sense, unless we accept Trump is a Russian asset. youtu.be/F4l8zZP5bOs

Coup rumours surge as internet and mobile blackouts hit Russian cities. What does it say about the state of mind of Putin's regime, that it is normalizing communications blackouts in its capital? Internet shutdowns in Moscow have become daily occurrences. youtu.be/D0jwBPNGdQI

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

Oilpocalypse - Why Putin's is the only 'Winner' from War in the Middle East. Iran’s Hormuz shock meets Russia’s budget hole. Trump’s war threw Putin an economic lifeline. A few weeks back, Urals Crude was as low as $41 a barrel - today it's $75 per barrel. youtu.be/vy13WYP4Kh8

The oil price shock Trump's war in the Middle East has caused, threatens to save Putin's regime, prop up his war economy and prolong his assault on Ukraine. Why does every decision Trump makes seem to benefit Russia in the end, and disadvantage Ukraine? youtu.be/oLSUR6iUYcs
