Worth noting that Russia is actively still stealing Ukrainian children in order to forcibly change their identity, indoctrinate them, and train them to kill their own people.

Has been happening since 2014, accelerated after Feb 2022, still ongoing.

The Kremlin has no interest in peace.
NEW: A Russian State Duma deputy oversaw the deportation of children from occupied Kherson Oblast to Russia under the guise of escorting them to a rehabilitation program.

That’s it, Mira.
One valuable lesson when arguing with westerners is to never use the risk to your safety against them, they don’t care about that

Use the risk to THEIR safety against them

“What he’s doing is shameful,” Macron says during an interview on TF1 television.

“My job is to do everything I can to make it stop,” he says, adding that the possibility of revisiting the European Union’s cooperation agreements with Israel is on the table.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

State terror starts with securization policies, criminalization of innocents, contempt of courts is next
"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

A worldwide drop in oil stocks threatens to leave Russia without funds for waging a war.

Will this make the Kremlin more cooperative on the ceasefire proposal? I'm not sure. Right now, we are in a zone of total uncertainty, but by the end of the summer, things will probably be clearer⤵️

If you need any concrete examples of how this works, take a look at italian media and political actors.
How disinformation campaigns are structured:

1. Malign actor messengers
2. Financial, power, physical, & psych-social incentives
3. Intentionally misleading narrative
4. Chosen dissemination channels
5. Targeted audience
6. Exploitation (e.g., fraud, war, grooming)
