Under the Lindsey Graham sanctioning russia act, which Trump signed into law, countries that buy russian fuel get punished with 100% tariffs. Will Washington sanction America’s 🇺🇸 purchases 😵‍💫🤯 of russian diesel?

Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.

russian aggression toward its neighbors is rooted in russian culture (the set of values, customs, and beliefs), which itself is rooted in history, where Muscovy birthed an empire before becoming a nation This peculiar sequencing manifest itself in what can only be described as state sadism.

"State sadism" as a key element of Russia's political / military culture. 💯

Why is russia run by criminals?
Why mass alcoholism?
A newborn russian baby is just as innocent as any other, so the russian culture must be the culprit

it is important to study russian history to understand what russia is and why it does what it does. istpublishing.org/en/russian-c...

Providing context. russia attacks across all domains. Dividing them up into kinetic, hybrid, Infowar etc. opens the danger of blind spots. It's all russian aggression.
The expensive and powerful security services have utterly failed here. @rusi.bsky.social @rand.org and others should study this well

When I first encountered the expression “russia is a death cult,” I wasn’t sure what to make of it. Now, after more than four years of reading, thinking, and writing about this subject, it makes a ton of sense.

"Lorsqu'elle se pare des atours d'un véritable reportage d'un média occidental prestigieux, une désinformation malveillante se propage plus largement. Cette campagne de désinformation s'est déroulée sur un terrain déjà préparé...par le New York Times ."

Let me make this very clear. Diesel prices have spiked because of Trump's war against Iran. Ukraine has nothing to do with it. But by buying russian diesel now, Americans will be helping fund the murder of Ukrainian children in their beds. Congratulations, folks.
