Exhibit #1 is Leonid Ragozin, who has degenerated into weird, spittle-flecked tirades and undisguised propaganda that’s indistinguishable from the stuff Solovyov pumps out.
He’s even retweeting grifters like Marta and outright GRU fronts like DD Geopolitics.
“Decolonizing Reich?” Seriously?

Picked this up the other day. There’re a few books in line before it, but I’ll be interested to read a good, cohesive, and systematic treatment of the sources of contemporary Russian nationalism.

Western leftists live in an absolute fantasy world in which the Soviet Union actually was the wholesome meme country they venerate on r/communism.

This is just pathetic. Whatever you think about the genocide in Gaza, the simple fact is that he executed two people in cold blood in a public place, and just shouting "free Palestine" doesn't count as a "get out of jail free card."

JD Vance's latest statement proves that he simply doesn't view Ukrainians as people.
He is a coward hiding behind his toddler to attack his fellow citizens who're exercising their constitutional right to free speech to criticize his decisions, which have already left dozens of Ukrainians dead.

Here we go. Fuck Russia and fuck anyone who says Ukrainians bear any responsibility for this.
There is no purgatory for war criminals or their apologists.

Prediction: not one of the self-styled “peace advocates” who so loudly proclaim that they care more than anyone about Ukrainian lives will say word about the 11 strategic bombers, the armada of drones, or the ships carrying Kalibr cruise missiles coming to end Ukrainian lives /1

Fellow Americans who support Ukraine: like many of you, I don't have a lot of money. But with the Trump Administration's betrayal of Ukraine, the least we can do is give $20 to Come Back Alive.
Protesting is fine.
Materially supporting the Ukrainian army is better: savelife.in.ua/en/donate-en/

Like, can you imagine being the vice president of the United States, sitting in the Oval Office haranguing the president of another country about things you plainly don’t understand, and when he asks you if you’ve ever even been to his country, you say “I’ve watched stories.”

"And so then I told Romania - you ever heard of this place? Nobody has ever heard of it but anyways I pointed to them with my finger like this - Ivanka knows what it means. Anyways I told them 'you better release those Tate guys. They're great guys, perfect people.' It's what I said."
