My respect to Ukrainians who have lived through this regularly for almost 4 years now, and going. Now that I live it through my flesh, I understand. I thought I did before, but I didn't. Not truly.

As someone currently in Kyiv, getting bombed, this.

I'm as desperate to see the moral abominations in Gaza end as the rest of you, and I understand why there is so much anticipation that this might finally be a ceasefire, but given how this has played out over 2 years, some caution and skepticism should probably be advised.

I was prepared for the emotions I would live through when I would visit Maidan, but I still was overwhelmed by them.

I'm seeing a lot of people in my circle spreading the news as real, but unfortunately they aren't. Please, always verify information before getting carried away by the hype.

The largest aid flotilla in history has been attacked twice in two days whilst in port in Tunisia. Open source analysis suggests an incendiary munition is to blame, contradicting official statements. www.bellingcat.com/news/2025/09...

Reports of an attack, allegedly by a drone, on a vessel in the Global Sumud Flotilla (GSF), while anchored outside the port of Sidi Bou Said in Tunisia. The below video shows the moment of the incident. Keep it in mind when you read the next post. www.instagram.com/reel/DOXaR_M...

A child born and killed in a war. Just so fucking bleak

Morning after another russian attack, first news I read: a body of a 1 year old child was found under the rubble of a home in Kyiv

Can't wait for Orbán and his goons to get the Yanukovych treatment

Really worried about the normalisation of far right and straight up nazi activities here in Spain. These are not your old Franco-loving fachas, but part of the internaltional reactionary wave.

Despite the heat, plenty of people showed up in Madrid today :)

Our favourite egg about to get a job proposal from the SBU

Ucrania no es Rusia. Ucrania tiene una sociedad civil que quiere progresar y que, pese a estar invadida por una superpotencia que quiere ver a su Estado desaparecer, protesta para defender la democracia. elpais.com/internaciona...

Let's not revive the "Ukr is super corrupt" narrative! Ukr's corruption is moderate (lower than Hungary, btw) and has declined since 2014. Backlash against anticorruption institutions isn't unusual; it happened in Italy in 1990s, in Romania in 2010s. Anticorruption inevitably gets politicized.

It's such a bad situation. This is the last moment in which we should be putting pressure on Ukraine, but at the same time we should.

Exactly. The best way to help Ukriane's democracy is to give them the weapons they need to win the war so martial law can be lifted and there can be elections.

The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

An absolutely horrific and unspeakable crime has been committed by Russians. A drone strike targeted civilians, killing a 14 months old baby boy instantly - before emergency services could even arrive. This happened today in Pravdyne of Kherson oblast.

If Donald Trump wanted to give Russia a helping hand with their summer offensive, it would look exactly like what we are seeing. That is my point in this video, where I also discuss the air war and give a status on the frontline situation. #Ukraine

Real life texts from Ukrainian friends sound very much like this at the moment.

i hope the ambulance is OK

This is the size of the hail we just got here in Madrid. El tamaño del granizo que acaba de caer en Madrid.

The latest satellite images show 3 major developments: a large Russian troop buildup in Bryansk Oblast, damage from recent drone strikes in Kyiv, and unusual military activities at Taiwan’s Wangan Airport. All three have one thing in common - they were generated by AI. 🧵Thread:

I am/was having a great time with the Feud tonight like everyone else, but now the fun is over as Ukraine is under a massive attack. A drone passed right above my friend's building in Kyiv. And missiles are expected to arrive soon. Yes, tonight was fun, but don't let that obscure other news.

Narrator: It is 8:30 a.m. 3:30 in the morning in Washington. Over the past few days of endless shitposting, neither the President nor Musk will have had more than a few hours rest. This is when they may be asleep. This is when Western response will be slowest.

The art in Ukraine’s theory of victory — and what we can all learn from it after the June 1 drone strikes New today: www.greatpower.us/p/operationa...

A few additional observations regarding the recent strike on Russia’s strategic aviation may help clarify its scale and implications. Our team assesses the operational strength of the Russian strategic bomber fleet to be at 70 to 90 aircraft. A midpoint estimate puts the number at around 80.

I actually want a separate pit in hell for the scammers who pose as Ukrainian soldiers or Gazans

We need to consider Putin's ideological reasons for fighting in Ukraine if we want to understand why he is so reluctant to engage in peace negotiations. That is my topic in this video.

It's hard to tell if the most agonizing thing about the Istanbul negotiations was Russia's blatant delay tactics, which seemingly worked on Donald Trump, or the excessive media hype about a possible meeting between Putin and Zelensky. In this video, I take a look at the diplomatic theater.

Politicians really need to stop using X to assess public opinion on any given subject, at this point they might as well be relying on 4chan.

The last thing Putin wants right now is pictures of him and Zelensky shaking hands. That was not what his suggestion about negotiations in Turkey on Thursday was about. What Russia wants is low-level negotiations that can go on for months and delay Western decision making.

*taps the sign*

Yes, they may launch the thing, but NOTAMs over Kapustin Yar are not necessarily a great bellwether.

THREAD: As India launches strikes against Pakistan tonight, misinformation is rapidly spreading online. I'll fact-check viral falsehoods in this thread. This video, viewed over 660,000 times, shows Israeli air strikes on Gaza in October 2023. It's unrelated to Indian strikes tonight.

The Oblivion remaster looks rad, let's wait and see the reactions 👀👀👀

Could JD Vance please also pray for the good health of Vladimir Putin?
