In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American conspiracy theorist, podcaster & antisemite, Candace Owens. She’s best known for spreading conspiracy theories, attacking Ukraine, promoting pro-Kremlin BS, and becoming a favorite of Russian state media. 1/21

It's not only Putin's war!

Beyond the major fashion capitals, Copenhagen is an insider’s favorite for style. Notably, a leading name in its menswear scene and global collage art is a Ukrainian. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

Jared Kushner thought he could quietly pave over a protected coastline for a $4B resort. A foreign government just froze the bank accounts behind it, leaving him totally silent. Read: 👇 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/pressure-w...

Russia is deliberately destroying natural habitats, as well as injuring and killing animals in Ukraine. This is ecocide, and Russia has to be held accountable for it. 🧵 1/12 ⬇️

Kristi Noem vibes...

If the Nobel committee won’t give Trump the Peace Prize for ending the most number of wars… maybe they’ll give it to him for ending one war the most number of times.

Zelenskyy wrote an open letter to Putin‼️ ​"Whatever you say about NATO, geopolitics, and the russian language, this war is your personal choice—a war with no real reason. That is exactly how history will remember it."

Today is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. For #Ukrainians, this is a painful reality that has become part of everyday life. Since 2022 alone, Russia has killed 707 Ukrainian children, injured 2,548, and left 2,318 missing. The youngest victim was just two days old -

Unbelievable: The answer could be the U.S. has bases in Europe, for now.

In here I tried to develop @resnikoff.bsky.social's concept of "hyperfascism": The ballroom, the arch, Trump's face on everything, etc is all about supplanting republican governance with the trappings of imperial, personalist rule in a *deliberately* visible way, as if to say: You can't stop me.

Let's put it this way. You don't have to be a sex offender to attend Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum. But it isn't a disqualifier.

Russian forces have once again used banned phosphorus munitions against Kostiantynivka, in an attempt to burn Ukrainian defenders out of the city.

Russians: Who came up with this thesis that the russians will take Kyiv in 3 days? WE NEVER SAID THIS!

Jared Kushner’s Albanian resort faces a corruption probe and mass protests. An investigative report by the Balkan Investigative Reporting Network found that the project involved a "network of shady individuals and companies."

Eine Teilnehmerin beim Wirtschaftsforum SPIEF in St. Petersburg ist begeistert dabei Bowlingkugeln gegen Pappaufsteller von Merz, Macron und VDL zu schieben. Bin überrascht dass es keinen Schießstand mit dem Gesicht von Zelensky gibt. /s

🇺🇦 Zelensky: June 4 is the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Russia has killed at least 707 young Ukrainians. Each death is a child whose future was taken away. Russia must be held accountable for these crimes.

Es ist Wahnsinn www.derstandard.at/story/300000...

2024 haben die KI-Serverfarmen in den USA so viel Strom verbraucht wie ganz Polen. Und diese Zahl wird sich in den nächsten Jahren locker verzehnfachen. Den Planeten für diese Zufallsgeneratoren mit Massendatenspeicherung anzuzünden ist nicht "Künstliche Intelligenz", das ist menschliche Dummheit.

What's her expertise?

Former intelligence officer confirms that Russia has no interest in peace but believes there will be 2 generations in Russia fighting wars against the whole world. And he acknowledges that Ukrainian drone attacks on military infrastructure are a serious problem for Russia.

#OpEd Some exiled critics of the Belarusian government have started to suggest that the West could use Lukashenko to change the system. They're wrong, argue Arkady Moshes and Ryhor Nizhnikau.

Ivanka & Jared Kushner have caused huge protests to erupt in Albania. They want to turn Sazan Island into an ultra-luxury eco-resort. Albanians are angry because the development will seriously harm biodiversity and fragile ecosystems incl. bird migration. #Trump #kushner #Albania

Russian Z-blogger Golman gives feedback on the Forum in St Petersburg: "What kind of economy are u even gathered there to talk about?We need reforms!We can only sell oil,gas,timber!What do the Chinese even give us?Fiber optic cable-even that's garbage!They've already taken over everything in Siberia

Die Russen verfolgen die Drone ohne Angst weil sie wissen dass der Ukraine keine Wohnhäuser sondern nur militärische Ziele angreift. Vielleicht sollte die nächste Drone ein Banner mit der Aufschrift "Stop den Krieg" ziehen?

Welcome in Leningrad, don't forget helmet, bulletproof jacket and water purifying straw during your stay at our glorious Economic Disaster Forum 🤣

Auf Tiktok und Instagram wird Mao, Stalin und dem iranischen Regime gehuldigt, Moskau und Peking, ja sogar Nordkorea wären viel besser als man glaubt... Wieso haben wir hier so einen blinden Fleck, sowohl in Berichterstattung, wie auch in Desinfo/Medienkompetenz Szene? inved.eu/insight/from...

I should've asked Zelensky for permission to have the saint petersburg economic forum like I had to for the parade.

What a nice "neutral" country: Irland allows state controlled Russian "Rusal" to produce and export raw materials for the military sector. Also, Irland operates as a corporate tax haven for intern. companies which are diverting profit away from EU countries where their economic activity takes place.

As we approach the 10th #Brexit anniversary it’s worth asking the promoters and supporters of this self harm exercise (some 85% of the current MPs) one simple questio: Why does Russia want to occupy Ukraine and why is Ukraine fighting to join the EU?

Eigentlich unfassbar! Wir müssen endlich flächendeckend auf europäische Software und Zahlungsdienstleister umstellen.

Putins Terrorangriffe auf Kyjiw ändern an der Front nichts, gewinnen den Krieg nicht für Putin und bringen die Ukrainer nicht zur Aufgabe. Es ist nur verbrecherischer Terror mit sinnloser Zerstörung, der die Verkommenheit und Brutalität des russischen Regimes zeigt.

How many times are we going to let this happen?

Russland: Thesen zum Machtwechsel. Der offene Dissens in Russland eskaliert und erreicht eine neue Phase. Die Gruppe um Ivashov/Girkin/Druschina stellt nun Thesen zur Diskussion, wie der Übergang der Macht nach Putin erfolgt. Dass Putin geht gilt als gesetzt. (mit @awerberger.bsky.social ) 1/

"Warum Energieaufträge im Wert von 1 Milliarde Dollar auf dem Balkan an ein undurchsichtiges Unternehmen gehen, das mit Donald Trump verbunden ist."

Wenn demnächst ältere Leute tot umfallen, weil Hitzewelle und kein Geld für Klimaanlage da, wird es heißen: Gestorben an oder mit Hitze? Win-Win, weil suggeriert, die Leute wären eh bald tot umgefallen, plus niemand muss ein schlechtes Gefühl haben und Kohle locker machen. 🤝

Free MS Office alternatives with zero ads, some or all of these are FOSS iirc: -LibreOffice -OnyOffice -FreeOffice -WPS -OpenOffice I use OnlyOffice. It's fast, intuitive, and oswst to msoffice I've found. Libre is a little clunky imo but respect.
