Bask in the unfeasible glory that is Aotearoa New Zealand's only locally designed and built Tank.

Never forget that the only country in NATO history which triggered NATO article 5 is USA after a bunch of Arab terrorists took down some buildings in New York. Now when Europe is in existential threat by former Soviets, the USA is throwing us bones and expecting gratitude. EU need to step up.

11 o'clock on the 11th of November, here in South Australia - we remember 🕯🕯

🤬 Claimed as moment when three Russian FAB-500 bombs strike on a high-rise building in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region. Look like a targeting mistake to you? #russianWarCrimes #CrimesAgainstHumanity #News #UkraineNews

Ten days of tinnitus & faint muffled sound - an enforced silence waiting for the little gadgets I use to hear to be returned from repairs. Now they are recharging and soon my world will come alive and I will be a hearing person again. Longing to hear birdsong and dog claws on the floors ❤️

Good news for a Monday morning ❤️ Ukrainian kinetic sanctions are effectively strangling russia - bring on the disintegration of the evil empire!

@truesavagesage.bsky.social with a hard hitting video explaining in excruciating detail how the Muscovites are motivating the genocide of Ukraine, its culture, language, history & people. It is a damning collection of clips of videos of Muscovites enthusiastically embracing genocide.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

POKROVSK: A QUESTION OF PRIORITIES I was privileged to be briefed on the situation yesterday evening but I needed some time to go through my notes and think about how to present this in this limited format. The ISW mapping is to over inclined to show Russian claims so I won’t use it here. The

Ukraine applies kinetic sanctions on Tuapse port facility, and it is glorious to behold! 🤩

🇪🇺🛣️ On November 19, the European Commission will present a package of proposals that will transform EU logistics into military artery. The goal is to ensure the immediate transfer of weapons and personnel. Poland, Germany, Romania, the Netherlands and the Baltic states will become key transit nodes.

"Budgets are collapsing." Russian regions slash expenses due to lack of money

After a night of sirens, fear, and sheltering in the corridor, dawn breaks. A man stands amid the rubble of his apartment, coffee in hand, rifle on his shoulder. His dog and cat rest at his feet. He looks out quietly. It’s another typical morning in Ukraine. Art: Oleksiy Kustovsky (Kusto)

This war is unlike any before it—almost every death is caught on camera. The massive use of drones by both Ukraine and Russia has made the battlefield more visible than ever. For the first time in history, the technology to record war on this scale exists—and it’s everywhere. #OSINT 1/4

A wft - WTF, WHAT?!! What the flying FUCK did I just hear moment in the car just before : A live presser on ABC news radio with federal opposition member referring not just once but twice in five minutes - to our armed forces as "Australian war-fighters" 😵‍💫 NO 😡 This is Australia you dipshits.

I want to read this Ukrainian veteran's book

Freeonis nails Russia’s energy sector attacks

So russia does what it can do there best — terror of civilians. Kyiv. Half of the city doesn't have electricity. Also we don't have water supply. Power infrastructure is damaged. Residential buildings are damaged. 9 injured. Zaporizhzhia. russians killed 7 y.o. boy. 3 more injured. #Ukrainianview

I have seen too much evil. Good people died. Blood. Screams. Eyes of survivors of torture and rape. Evil burned everything inside me left only emptiness. This emptiness fills only when I see evil dying. This is no longer anger. It's something else. Text:Yurii Hudymenko 📷 Danylo Dubchak/Frontliner

Uh-Oh. Oligarchs getting antsy. www.reuters.com/business/fin...

Russia's barrage of drones over European airspace represents only a fraction of the broader toolkit the Kremlin has employed for years to destabilize and disrupt Europe —an approach commonly described as Russia’s “hybrid war” against the West t.co/9UPiuTiPCZ

Beautiful Russian roads! Cars and trucks will have no problems coping with a fuel shortage. Mamakanu, Irkustsk Oblast (This is why gas shortages will be so devastating for rural Russia).

For several weeks now, I've been focusing much more on news about Russian attacks on Ukrainian hinterlands than on events on the frontline. Perhaps I can briefly explain why this is happening. Firstly, the AFU is effectively halting the long-announced Russian offensive,

I wonder how many of these murders are the product of paranoia, deterrence or actual preparations to defect from, or subvert the regime.

Let us debone this news item for a bit of perspective. First of all, this is mainly for domestic propaganda purposes, and it is not a viable option for Russia, neither short- nor long-term. First problem for Russia is that China... 1/7

Ukrainian troops shot down several drones in Danish airspace during a combat exchange visit, the General Staff reported. A Ukrainian Sting drone took out a Danish Banshee in a demonstration watched by European officials.

Trumpty Dumpty will be confused, but not like it when someone explains it to him. Albania PM Edi Rama is not happy with Macron for forgetting to congratulate him on his 'peace deal' with Azerbaijan (Alijev in shot). Trump twice said he'd stopped a war between the two countries!

I’m done with these facile dismissals of reality. Sure, it’s money and power and by extension- who has enough of those to guarantee their security, borders, democracy - but the reality is that the world is preparing itself for war. Period. No other way out. And that’s not only about Russia

#auspol Pay attention! We’re next. Remember the referendum? And what the hell is going on in New Zealand? Cool and normal? Yeah… Nah! Let’s keep the bastards honest!

68/ Imagine a future where rights are quietly stripped away, not through major legislation, but by covertly influencing just enough voters to pass them. That’s the power of data and psychological profiling. Your vulnerabilities turned into tools against you.

65/ After narrowly losing in 2020, the evolved playbook once again proved a winning strategy in 2024. With Elon Musk buying Twitter, the potential to integrate massive data pools for targeted influence campaigns had only grown. We’re not just facing a stolen elections; we’re facing stolen psyches.

1/ 🚨 Conspiracy theories about the 2024 election miss the bigger picture. The truth? It wasn’t one night, one hack, or one fraud. It was a system rigged in plain sight – right in front of us. The playbook was out in the open for years. But hardly anyone paid attention. Here’s how they did it... 🧵

I found this video by @rationalityrules.bsky.social informative about what Charlie Kirk stood for. It's essentially just 13 minutes of Charlie himself explaining his views, but I am not sure most Europeans understand the nature of religious fundamentalism in the US.

To all the NATO 'pacifists' out there: My house is 22km, 13.6 miles from the Russian borded. It's among the first to be blown up if WW3 starts. Not some imaginary 'civilian losses', Me. Personally. And I'm standing by shooting down every Russian plane that violates NATO airspace. Because it's safer.

America, if you're listening ... youtu.be/uiUPis_XDTA?...

Here’s what we are reading today: Russia and Vietnam have developed a method of concealing payments for arms deals to avoid US sanctions. The countries have been using profits from joint oil and gas ventures as payment, avoiding transfers through the global banking system.

Two years ago, our reporter @josh-kaplan.bsky.social received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of thousands of files: years of secretly recorded conversations, private militia chat logs and videos sent by a man named John Williams. (Published Jan. 2025)

I kid you not, this is how it translated for me.

Vlad Vexler : "The Coming Age of American Putinism". Putinism and Trumpism share ideological DNA. They are two versions of the same global ideology - a kind of consumerist monarchism that makes might into right. WATCH THIS VIDEO⬇️ youtu.be/7_L6ZU3zxOc?...

Analysts say the gap between the military’s upbeat reports and the battlefield reality helps feed into Putin’s conviction that Russia is winning.

There is no such organisation as ‘antifa’, it is simply the state of being opposed to fascism. Every allied serviceman and woman fighting fascism in WW2 was ‘antifa’. He’s calling our grandparents terrorists because he’s a fascist and surrounds himself with fascists. (see alt text)

I am not American, but I do care about what happens in the US. As the financial, cultural, and political center, and the foundation of the international system, it sets trends worldwide. I am concerned about the effects this may have in Europe and Asia, and about what kind of “era”we are entering
