As much as I agree I would get into trouble for posting these two together where I live :)

AI generated Stachanov-posters from the US government in 2025. History repeating as a farce. (Not my favourite Karl, but there are several worth a deep read)

"They should have given her back" Agamemnon

Been too long since I did a big silly ancient history 🧵so let's bring an old one back over from the Bad Place: It's time for ::air horn:: Publius Ventidius Bassus, the coolest Roman you have never heard of and the only person to walk in a triumph first as captive, then as triumphing general. 1/

“Evidence gathered by The Telegraph reveals Russia is using rape as a weapon of war in occupied Ukraine […] Their testimonies, including accounts of rape, torture, and forced disappearances, reveal a pattern of systematic abuse intended to terrorize the local population into submission.”

Das BSW verließ den Plenarsaal als Zelensky vor dem Bundestag sprach und lädt in Potsdam den russischen Botschafter ein. Und man muss ihnen für diese Klarheit in der Haltung dankbar sein

In France, a protest is a friendly reminder that power rests with the people and we will chop of your head if you do not do what you were elected to. In the US, its a petition contest for the wittiest meme. Might as well post on reddit.

Good news - UV is alive and kicking still. But a lot has changed in the way this war is fought.

«Statt mit Kampfjets auf Drohnen zu schießen, benötigen wir ein verzahntes und agiles technologisches Ökosystem, mit dem wir sofort reaktionsfähig sind. Wir müssen schnellstmöglich eine funktionierende Drohnenabwehr aufbauen» Endlich #Gesamtverteidigung? www.spiegel.de/politik/jens...

"As noted, in just the first three months of 2025, 756 servicemembers had already deserted - equivalent to about 20% of a fully staffed brigade." There is hope Russia may yet grow tired of the slaughter its inflicting on Ukraine and itself. Highly recommended read!

Hamas leader thinks Gaza has a "golden moment" right now. Maybe he should talk to the people he professes are his.

Überall ist es besser wo wir nicht sind (1989) ("The gras is greener everywhere else")

the administration is tremendously unpopular on almost every polled metric. it has encountered vigorous local resistance whenever it has tried to exert force. it is still going to get much worse before it gets better, but they are not going to win. there is no rabbit in the hat they can pull out

Am 24.11.2015 flog eine russische Suchoi SU 24 aus Syrien für wenige Sekunden in den türkischen Luftraum. Danach lag sie in Trümmern am Boden. Passiert ist danach nichts.

wow

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

Besten Dank an Thomas Raths von @daspanzermuseum.bsky.social für die Empfehlung, und natürlich Dank und Respekt an Herrn Professor Eich für das Buch selbst - eine fantastische Lektüre über den Ursprung des Krieges.

Ich mag ihn. Sehr.

BREAKING: E.J. Antoni, Trump's candidate to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is now suggesting suspending the agency’s monthly jobs report.

PLA Navy Type 052DL "Guilin" and China Coast Guard's Type 056 corvette "3104" collide as they harass Philippine Coast Guard vessel BRP Suluan 10.5 nautical miles east of Panatag Shoal. Tape made from forward of the funnel of BRP Suluan, giving indication how close the CCG vessel was chasing.

Has anyone written anything pointing out that the EHRC regulation would represent the first attempt at any legal regime of public segregation in modern British history?

LPT: Create a little github repository and have ChatGPT poplulate it with some code files and commits. Now when you get caught downloading the whole Springer catalogue or all seasons of The Simpsons, its b/c you are training a new AI, so its ok.

Meine Versuche, eine deutsche Linkedin-Gruppe für Militärgeschichte ins Leben zu rufen sind ziemlich versandet - vielleicht sollte ich es stärker auf aktuelle Sicherheitspolitik ausrichten? Oder LI einfach lassen.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down? J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

Homeoffice today

At what point does the question move from "when" to "if" the US recovers from this? Firing officials for reporting correct data seems like as good as any.

I know what the Israelian Army is doing in Gaza is horrible. However, tying recognition of a state to a ceasefire is bad politics (Either Palestone is a state, or its not). Worse, it incentivizes Hamas to unleash as much terror as possible to prevent any ceasefire until then. Not smart.

Frontelligence Insight estimates that by the end of June 2025, Russian combat fatalities may have reached, or even surpassed, 250,000. The projection is based on a synthetic estimation model that extrapolates from regionally confirmed, by-name casualty records. 🧵Thread:

One of the things about JD Vance is that he is completely 100% aware that what he is doing is evil and has made a deliberate, conscious choice to do evil to get power. He’s not self-deluded or dumb. He hasn’t drunk Kool-Aid. He’s decided to do evil for power.

A helpful thread debunking lies about me. This campaign of lies came from Democrats after I wrote two books about Epstein and called for Trump's impeachment. I still get threats from these people, so it's helpful to have the truth documented. Like I always said, the evidence is public!

Das ganze war extrem demütigend und entwürdigend. Die Anweisungen die Blume abzunehmen kam von der deutschen Bundestagspräsidentin Julia Klöckner.

The UN Office of High Commission for Human Rights (OHCHR) just released a report describing how in 2022 Russia deliberately murdered a barracks full of Ukrainian prisoners at Olenivka & blamed it on Western artillery. I wrote on this incident at the time & why Russia's account was incredible. 1/3

A look into the numbers of the Iran-Israel ballistic missile war: how many missiles and defensive interceptors were launched, how many reached their target, and which side could last longer.

Antifascist music #1 How to turn a Übermensch-parade into a track for a chilled car ride to the pool:

no amount of free money is going to get people to have children in a stagnant society of rampant corruption and dwindling opportunity

I miss having a human president.

Um das klarzustellen: EINE EINZIGE Milliardärsfamilie verkackt es versehentlich (!), die Erbschaftssteuer zu dodgen und verursacht dadurch Steuereinnahmen, die die gescheiterte BUNDESWEITE Kindergrundsicherung zu 166% abgedeckt hätten. Imagine, man würde alle Superreichen konsequent fair besteuern.

"The United States does not support new sanctions against Russia in order not to derail potential ceasefire negotiations." - Secretary of State Rubio stated. Like last time? When were they offered a ceasefire and they refused?

"The people outside looked from AI to man, and from man to AI, and from AI to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which."

As of June 15, Russia has over 1,950 missiles — including ballistic, cruise, and hypersonic Kinzhal types — and more than 6,000 Shahed-136 attack drones and decoys, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence. Russia is currently producing up to 195 missiles per month and 170 drones per day.

Ironically (or cynically), the German politicians who claim to be on the side of workers are the ones most comfortable with letting us do this and worse to Ukrainians now.

All these things should be in a UAF mechanized brigade killing Russians rn

Segregation alive and kicking.

“Unpermitted ICE facility” should be setting off warning sirens across the entire country

Not to mention armed the Houthis, Hezbollah, Shiite militias in Iraq. I supported the JCPOA in real time and I think Israel’s view of accepted civilian deaths in conflict has expanded way too far, but even I share the sense of threat from the Iranian regime that many here can’t accept. 2/2

Iran, unlike the Palestinians, is not under decades of Israeli occupation. Engaged in a multi decade global terror campaign against Israelis and Jews. Pursued nuclear weapons. Armed Hamas and trained its forces ahead of 10.7. Repeatedly called for Israel’s annihilation and sought it. 1/2

New thread. Israel and Iran. 1/
