Yep, if Russia wants to denazify Europe, they should start with Putin.

"My father said I'm a traitor who should be shot first"

Quote"My father has been getting the news solely from television for more than 20 years, including watching Solovyov and Kiselyov's programs," Miroshnik said, referring to Russian state television's two most prominent Kremlin-loyal hosts.

"He quite easily believes in various conspiracy theories.

Imagine living in a country whose politics has deteriorated from western-style democracy to such an extent that a powerful fascist and his oligarch-fueled propaganda machine manipulates some people by declaring that real news is "fake" in order to make fake and ideologically-driven conspiracy theories seem equally plausible, stokes sectarian grudges, and splits families right down the middle in a downward spiral of corruption, militarism, and barbarism.

Yeah, imagine.................

The *roughtimate* livetracker amount the EU has spent on Russian oil since first invading Uka.

Ukrainian forces sure have been giving out a lot of promotions throughout this conflict.

I read that it's because the concripts/cadets have such poor training and/or morale that they have to have a commander nearby to operate in any sort of cohesive way.  That weakness can be exploited by a skilled sniper...

Also, some armored units won't advance without artillery fire to throughly soften up the area first.  That can also be exploited.  Hence Ukrainian drones focusing on logistics and artillery targets first.

Maybe I spoke too soon.  It seems that that invading Russian forces are giving themselves promotions as well.  Teamwork makes the dream work!

Yesterday, Ukrainian air defense took out 11 Russian air units: five planes, one helicopter, four drones, and one ballistic missile.  Its most successful day yet.

Just fyi, Russia is notable in having a suspiciously high number of parachute failures... let's just say that Russian aces tend to go in the discard pile.

It's no accident that covid tinfoilery and Ukraine-as-the-bad-guy talking points are coming from the same quarters.  It makes sense for an adversarial country like Russia to want to spread disinfo far and wide so as to exacerbate covid's economic impact on its rivals and to favor its own vaccine.  Especially if they had dug their hooks into one of the two major political parties in the US (like say, funneling money through the NRA to curry influence), then this disinfo campaign would get amplified and would be able to achieve a life of its own.

Essentially, civilians lured a Russian tank convoy into an ambush, Ukrainian forces blew up the tanks with british anti-tank weapons, surviving Russian soldiers briefly took shelter in a local's house (bled all over the place) before running away under the cover of darkness.

An utterly humiliating defeat.
