Re
anybody fact check the image?
yea, maybe a real line of cars, but reason might be an exercise in clearing the road for firetrucks or military trucks, idk
But, I read in LIVE #Ukrain (Telegram English Channel) that there ARE #gasolineShortages in #Russia last week
Looks like electric bicycles will be popular soon
It’s the filming themselves thing that I find bizarre… the ones I’ve seem are always impeccably groomed… who are they trying to ‘influence’ with these creepy videos?
“ This past week I have seen a dozen or more videos where Russian women film themselves crying in their cars, because they cannot fill up the tank due to Ukraines "Long range sanctions".”

There was a terrible event in #WWII in #Saipan where as American troops advanced the Japanese civilians committed mass suicide. They believed due to #propaganda that the Americans would be monstruously cruel
Here we see a similar sentiment as #Ukraine captures #Russia's troops
Traditional #media and #socialMedia lies lead to this
Pointless #war and stupid #projection of one's own malice
It's why the lies we see can't just be dismissed. They are rat poison. They must be fought
#Military secrets are fiercely guarded for obvious reasons. But also obviously in a war your enemy gets a lot of exposure to the operating parameters, capabilities, and weaknesses of your #technology. And gets plenty of physical samples
So #Ukraine just open sourced all of #Russia's military secrets 😆
Well not strictly, it's only for allies
And a knock-on effect is it devalues Russian arms sales because potential buyers know it's all exposed
It's called #TrophyLab
People tend to forget that the most deadly people on the planet are women with nothing left to lose. In World War 2, the Polish women in my family sent the children to America, and became assassins with a pretty sizable kill count before they were eventually captured and murdered by nazis. My Levantine cousins have been running resistance for 80 years. If you touch our homes, our children, our men…you will regret that decision, if it takes us generations to do it.
All hail the #Ukrainian Warrior Women. May their bravery light the path forward as we face off against the fascists.
“These warrior-witches have become Ukraine’s most feared intelligence assets, moving through occupied territory like shadows. Orobets travels abroad often, where she is sometimes asked, “What happens if Ukraine runs out of men?”
“Be careful what you wish for,” she says. “If Ukraine’s women are in charge, there won’t be a Russian left alive.””
#Putin compares the West to #Nazi #Germany in 1941
Why 1941? Why not just Nazi Germany?
Because the #USSR was allied with Germany before 1941
Many #Kremlin apologists are eager to forget that
"Nazi" doesn't mean #fascism and #imperialism to Putin. It simply means "Western enemy"
The fascist mass murdering imperialist part of #Nazism isn't a problem
Because that's what Putin's #Russia is

There's that saying "no honor among thieves"
With the rise of fascist shittery in the world we grow despondent. But notice a silver lining:
These assholes backstab and fail each other as much as they do the well-intentioned
An idiot in the White House doesn't work for #Russia as Russia had imagined
Certainly #Trump has damaged the West. But Russia's problem is it is so weak, the world doesn't need the #USA. In fact, all it needs is #Ukraine (and some #EU funds)
#Ukraine keeps pulverizing Russian #logistics
So how is #Russia doing internally nowadays?

What you're looking at is a massive #drone attack on an #oilRefinery
And yes, you saw correctly, the oil storage tank that blew up at the end was not hit by #Ukraine, it was hit by #Russia's own missile
I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar
Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians
However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation
From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world

I suppose that was what happened in the Ukraine - Russia couldn't provide its people with progress and better lives, so it seemed like a solution to absorb the wealth of the neighbours. And here they are, stuck with hiding a failure behind a failure.

Btw, this was the view from the #StPetersburg International Economic Forum ( #SPIEF) today
Recall #Ukraine said it would not strike the #VictoryDay Parade in May on Russia's request, and #Russia responded to that restraint by mass murdering Ukrainian civilians soon after in a massive missile/ drone barrage
So enjoy the views, #Putin
I don't think you get any more restraint, nor do you deserve any. Ukraine will continue to strike #military targets and #oilRefineries as it did here
If you don't know, #Russia has an annual #economy forum
So we're already in a joking mood
They had a 'Russia 2050' report
3 scenarios for 25 years out:
1. inertial: "American and Chinese hegemony"
2. bad: Russia loses the war and is "colonized"
3. good: "ideological war" victory, nukes are used for some reason, Kyiv/ Odesa/ Kharkiv/ "and so on" annexed, and... the #EU disintegrates I guess just for funsies

and russian provocations to escalate is simply handled like you handle any aggressive drunk in a bar looking for a fight: ignore the asshole. yes, the provocations help #rightWing political elements in #europe by allowing them to amplify #fear. but the dividend goes down as the #kremlin threat becomes obviously toothless to more and more people as time goes on. more and more, people just don't fear #russia anymore
19/x
but how does reclaiming #transnistria help defeat russian escalation and right wing european scammers?
because when #russia loses, everyone else wins
russia's moribund economy, due to its own stupidity, will pay dividends in that the european #rightWing scammers see less lucrative scams in their efforts
they don't need russia to play far right lying fearmongering games, yes, but they will benefit less for it. the threat doesn't go away, but the calculus changes

"see! #europe is stealing #transnistria from #russia! they are the manipulators!"

and so #putin *wants* a fight with #NATO. a ladder of chaos to save his vile ass: he will endlessly escalate in (im)plausibly deniable ways, forever. anything NATO does in response is something to sell to the average russian- "see? NATO always wanted this! we must defend #russia" as a distraction from the reality that the #war is stupid and putin is the real problem and the real culprit

before i get into it, i should note:
if you click the article above, the title is "Russia accused of launching drone that hit apartment block in #Romania, but #Putin demands proof"
so #russia didn't do it?
but then:
