Interesting hearing a #Russian dissident claiming that #Russia has 'already lost' the #UkraineWar . I don't think I entirely believe this, but it certainly isn't going well for them.

Stel dat Rusland een beperkt (!) aantal doelen in NAVO-landen met drones aanvalt (wapenfabrieken ed) , wat doet de NAVO dan? Zal het dan niet bij woorden blijven , Poetin kan er best , ten onrechte, op durven gokken dat het niet tot een artikel 5 procedure komt. Ook zal het leiden tot minder levering van luchtverdediging materiaal aan Oekraïne. Totaal irreël scenario of denkbaar? 🤔

"If Russia wins" is a very readable, short book, that describes a possible scenario. It illustrated for me how NATO and article 5 works and that is different then the public perceives it. Highly recommended summer read.

So #Russia just lost the capacity to put stuff in space, apparently. Either immediately, or in the very near future.
Ukraine hit its main rocket factory in Samara.
In part, it's a shame. But it was inevitable, as the very same rockets that sent stuff to the ISS are putting military crap in orbit. So this factory is an obvious military target.
So... how many people got sent to the gulag by "nazi" Ukraine for protesting the dismissal of its defense minister, dear tankies?
Meanwhile in "totally-not-nazi" #Russia people are still incarcerated for going to the street, years ago, with a blank sheet of paper.
What gives?
RE: #Russia
Heh.
Meanwhile, in the "world's gas station" #Russia, petrol is being sold at more than 4 euros per liter(*).
In Portugal, where the prices are notoriously high, it's under €2.
(*) when there's petrol to be sold, that is.
всё по плану!

Did you know this fire in Moscow was imported, and as a special deal, the importer didn’t even have to pay any tariffs? I know, right?
#Augsburg
"Durch die Explosion eines zunächst unbekannten Gegenstands in der Bahnhofstraße nahe dem Eingang zum Bahnhof seien zwei ukrainische Staatsbürger im Alter von 17 und 18 Jahren leicht verletzt worden, sagte ein Polizeisprecher. Sie hätten ein Knalltrauma erlitten. Fensterscheiben umliegender Gebäude seien beschädigt worden."

Today, the Ukrainians hit the Omsk refinery.
Omsk is 2500 km from the Ukrainian border.
No amount of terrorism will save nazi #Russia . Only a revolution could save it now.

Pretty interesting analysis of the "elections" in #Russia.

We can assume that Russia is fully engaged in supporting the AfD where it can, indirectly, via intermediaries. Maybe using their old contacts and intelligence networks in the "east". Also it will probably support muslim extremism and extreme left, also with cut-outs, all to destabilze Germany.
If you read about coldwar history, they have a lot of experience in playing various sides to destabilize countries.

Ukraine escalates towards Russia, Europe can't blame them, Zelensky can't just wait and watch Russia destroy Ukraine with ballistic missiles he has no defense against. We will pay the price for not acting earlier and more forcefully against Russian aggression.
#ukraine #russia #europe #war #geopolitics
Very interesting developments in Ukraine. I can only think it is normal for a state that is at war to have very strong opinions within its government.
“One participant in the president’s meeting with lawmakers recounted Zelensky’s words this way:
They live in two different worlds. [DM] Misha wants to digitize everything, to build a system around technology. The military just wants to be heard. They ask for one category of weapons to be procured, and he refuses and funds other areas instead. They’ve simply stopped hearing each other. I can’t allow the Defense Ministry and the General Staff to be at war with each other in a country that’s at war. Ideally, I’d replace them both. But I can’t do that at the same time.”
I just hope they can keep and achieve the goal to push Russia out of Ukraine.

I can’t help but think these two things are related.
Prince William giving Carney a call and Canada and the UK talking about rearming together in defence against Russia.
There are certainly some very interesting and troubling signals out there right now.

We are watching the structural destruction of civilian infrastructure in Ukraine by continuing attacks with drones and ballistic missiles that Ukraine can't stop (until now). EU and NATO have no plan to solve this, no additional actions are available it seems. Putin is winning?
#ukraine #russia #eu #nato #geopolitics
Maybe the war between Russia and Europe, will not be as kinetic and intense as past wars. But it seems we are slowly gliding into something that could be given that name. Russia also has an interest to make it not an "all-out" conflict because by keeping it at a lower intensity, art. 4 and art. 5 of the NATO treaty stay out of sight. A lot of NATO-countries will oppose calling for a art.5 procedure when "just" a few targets in Europe are hit.

Whether it’s sex assault victims or war where children are intentionally murdered every day, the #NHL is morally bankrupt over and over again.
Ovechkin is a disgusting coward at best or a criminal complicit in Russia’s war crimes at worst.
This CBC news video doesn’t pull any punches. 👍
And neither does Dominik Hasek. Truly one of the best. 🥅
I hope there are Ukrainian flags flying at every away Washington Capitals game this season and that he is booed out of the league.

"The problem with identifying Russian kinetic attacks on NATO states as “hybrid” is that it implies that they are not part of a coherent military campaign, but rather part of something else. Using that term is, again, meant to justify not invoking NATO’s collective defense provisions..." #isw #russia #eu #nato
Putin sees the EU, it's internal divisions, the slow and weak decisionmaking, the fear of war, Trump actively undermining the EU, the rise of the AfD and other extreme right parties... I understand he thinks the EU is weak and he can win the war in Ukraine because EU support will falter and break under pressure. This is the reason i think there is a good chance escalation will continue in Europe. War is coming for european countries besides Ukraine.

“USA has used virtually all of its long range precision missiles”
Iran is attacking with its ballistics and some drones… but you also know that it, likely with considerable support from Russia, is probably also developing many more long range drones like Ukraine has.
And that is where it is all going to turn on its head.
Like @… said in his most recent video. The world of warfare has changed forever. Drones are equivalent to the change from horse calvary to tank.
Yet outside of Ukraine and Russia, other militaries have not yet changed their procurement, let alone their force structure, to be prepared to fight wars using drones.
That doesn’t mean there won’t be be a place for conventional Air Force, Tank regiments, and a Navy, but all will have to be done with some lens of drone warfare baked in.
The longer Trump’s idiotic foray with the Israeli Prime Minister lasts, the more likely it is that we see Iran deploy long range drones in massive numbers.
At that point perhaps NATO countries, and other militaries, will truly realize the change that needs to happen.

Some details: Kremlev, the Russian who sponsored Don Jr's wedding, is a former member of the Night Wolves biker gang, went to China with Putin and is personally sanctioned by Ukraine for his role in abducting children.
