Russia’s economy is in such bad shape. Unverified, but I hear reports that Russia is reducing imports of drones from China as a form of economic protectionism for its own factories.
Details are scant but it does indicate how broken Russia is.

#ukraine is conducting limited offensives given the Russian coms confusion. They will cost more in lives and materiel than defence but their purpose is for defence.
Ukraine is pushing Russia back to rivers, down hills and to other natural lines of defence. Significant lives will be saved.

Things are only strange at first. After that the are normal.
If hearing Spanish music is genuinely discomfiting then the cure is actually to hear more of it until your baseline shifts.
Anything else is racism.

TL;DR A USA national language of just English is a stupid idea. Know that I am English.
To those who care. In the UK, we learned that the Empire drive for a single language was not only foolhardy wasted work, but also at the cost of our culture.

With Russia’s loss of Star Link, Putin takes the opportunity to shut down Telegram to take control of all Russian coms.
That’s not interesting, but what is, is it’s during a war. Which means Putin fears his own troops more than #ukraine.

History doesn’t repeat but it does rhyme.
There is an interesting parallel with the Magna Carta, brought by the feudal barrons to limit the power of King John, who believed the middle powers should be entirely at his whim, and the US Trump and Western economies.
Perhaps a future with Media Carta.

The Olympics (which I love), gave its message of peace. “Things you should never do… war.”
Unfortunately reductive as #ukraine didn’t want to ‘do’ war. It got invaded.
This is why the ‘peace’ narrative tends to be push by dictators anonymously.

So, is Trump going accidentally end his life falling down airplane stairs on camera?
I get the feeling it’s going to be ignominious as he would see it.

Prediction: Over the next two years, we are going to see an increase in verified sourcing.
AI shovelware and AI content isn’t a new phenomenon. It’s the maximising of an old problem. Lack of source verification.
The next thing to expect is merchants of quality.

If the West is willing to go to war with Russia on post peace agreement violations, then it should be willing to go to war now following a full scale invasion… or I simply don’t believe you.

I try to stay humble because I am often humbled. What I thought was the most bat shit crazy reason to vote for Trump was that he was anti-establishment and a secret pedo cabal was running the Western govs.
Well they were right that #epstein was a thing, a Putin psy op, but Trump was part of it.
