EU Disinformation review:
For russia, climate change is yet another wedge issue - to open cracks in public debate, then fill them with pro-russia narratives. They stir polarisation to piss EVERYONE off - to make us hate one another as much as they hate themselves.

Normally, intelligence services operate quietly in the background. But lately, russia's SVR has done something unusual: it’s been putting out official public statements to amplify the aims of its covert operations.

RU drones penetrated Polish airspace and then RU vomited disinfo about the incursions. As usual, they said anything, everywhere, all at the once, as long as what was said served to deny and distract from Russian responsibility.

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu mentioned the Baltics' Forest Brothers who fought for freedom from russian oppression.
@dankaszeta.bsky.social wrote a wonderful book about them (maybe the Commission President read it and was inspired).
Highly recommend both. Links below.

Another "delay" in holding russia to account. Another two weeks of russia murdering civilians in Ukraine. Another example of where Trump shows that he's a weak coward.

A wonderful way to spend a couple of hours! The dulcet tones of the host's voice, and the timeless AND topical subject make for a great listen.

Why has Mira of Kyiv (@reshetz.bsky.social) been suspended?
My info is that she is a local news reporter. I have never seen a post that violated Bluesky rules.
Her voice is important to bring Ukrainian news to the broad audience.

Pope Leo looks to be a good Pope.
He reversed Francis' misguided faith in russia having any good faith.
He chose a name that harks back to the birth of Christian Democracy & defense of the middle class (Rerum Novarum).
He knows the global south. He understands the poor.
He gets it.

How is it a good deal when they then decide to ramp up defense spending by investing in defense contracts NOT belonging to you?

The script for the Trump-Zelensky meeting was clearly written in Moscow for their purposes and culture. The ritualistic humiliation thing is in their DNA.
What they didn't, couldn't consider is that Zelensky isn't russian, i.e. he wouldn't grovel like a russian would.

Macron is really stepping up. Coming into his own.
I hope he follows through.
He might become the frenchman that finally puts "surrender monkeys" to rest, by moving the moniker to the USA.
Because, right now, it's the USA that's surrendering.

The fundamental problem with negotiating with russia is that russia has no intention of abiding by international law, nor does it intend to abide by any treaties it might sign.
