85 years ago, Charlie Chaplin delivered his famous speech at the end of his first film with dialogue - The Great Dictator.

He spoke these timeless words as Nazis rose to power, and the drums of war beat in Europe, echoing across the world.

As relevant, and necessary to hear, today as ever

Vance once again showed the amateur hour performance of the Trump admin when he caused an international incident just by turning up. He laid a wreath at the Armenian Genocide Memorial and posted about it, thus massively pissing off the Turks.

Then he deleted the post and pissed off the Armenians.

Russia’s war in Ukraine has increasingly become a war of drones, but artillery still plays a key role on the battlefield. Newly obtained documents from 2014 to 2025 show that Russia continues to modernize its artillery production using industrial machinery from Europe. 🧵Thread:

The bodies of a mother and her 11‑year‑old daughter lay in black bags on the ground‼️

Russia killed them by bombing their home in Sloviansk - a place where they should have been safe.

Call me repetitive, but everybody I speak with have ‘no’ optimism in the peace talks, so I’m kind of interested in who other than Witkoff and Kushner have these hopes?
Ukraine peace talks are still far from complete, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said, brushing aside what he called “over-enthusiastic perceptions” of progress.

The 18th division of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which entered here to create a "buffer zone", began to lose captured settlements.

Thus, in Chuhunivka, Russian military personnel, who were under attack by the Armed Forces of the Ukraine in the cold, began to surrender.

Russia is even sabotaging the notoriously Russian-sympathetic Telegram App.

RBK-RU reports that from today they are making connection more difficult for subscribers.

It's all designed to force subjects to use only the State controlled "Max" messaging app.

One of best gifts for Putin is Western leaders trying to talk to him.

Empty negotiations only legitimize a terrorist maniac, buy him time, and let him dictate terms.

Keep negotiating and talks will turn to handing EU territory to Russia.
