British AS90 howitzers are helping Ukraine’s 3rd Assault Brigade hold Izyum. Barrels are firing 8 times more than they were built for, still preserve accuracy. Ukrainians have adapted to drone warfare and are using precise strikes to stop Russians — NYT. 1/
Ukrainians are protesting against Law No. 12414 and in favour of strong, independent anti-corruption agencies. These are not demonstrations against President Zelenskyy. Ukrainians are fiercely democratic and proudly patriotic while they defend Europe from aggression by Russia.
Tomorrow morning Israel will apply a "humanitarian pause" in civilian centers and in humanitarian corridors to enable the distribution of aid supply. Israel has continued to facilitate the entry of aid trucks into the Gaza strip. Unfortunately, the UN has failed so far to collect…
The @BlueJays have won 19 of their last 23 games and own the best record in baseball!
27 July 1932 | A Yugoslavian Jewish girl, Vera Frisch, was born in Osijek. In 1944 she was deported to #Auschwitz and murdered in a gas chamber.
Russia’s not just spying, they’re shape-shifting. Turning agents into Brazilians to slip past Western intel shows just how deep the game goes. It’s Cold War tactics with a passport twist. #Espionage #SpyTradecraft #Brazil #spying pbs.org/newshour/show/…
We don’t need pity. We need what London once got — real support to fight back.
“PLA Navy could believe it has secured operational dominance in nearby waters and may adopt more assertive actions against foreign naval vessels in these areas.” @KTristanTang
My latest analysis on China’s dual-carrier operations in the Western Pacific this June is out now in @ChinaBriefJT, coauthored with @Alexyuchengchen: “PLA Navy Shifts Training Focus from Near-Shore to Blue-Water Operations.” Key point: The Central Military Commission likely…

The United States and its European allies refuse to unite and defend themselves in Russia’s war against the West. Because of this cowardice, it is a near certainty they will be attacked separately by the Axis powers – Russia, North Korea, China and Iran – in the near future.
WSJ: Democrats Get Lowest Rating From Voters in 35 Years Not surprised at all by this, as hardly any Democrat is actually interesting and Trump and his crew dominates the news cycle every day. The only Democrat who's visible is Gavin Newsom.
Russia's oil smugglers are running out of ocean as UK freezes 100+ shadow fleet tankers Insurance firms, legal services, port facilities across Europe are off-limits to any vessel connected to Russia's price cap violations euromaidanpress.com/2025/07/26/fro…
This breaks my heart. An ongoing human rights outrage, happening in plain sight, where women and girls are being treated worse than domestic pets. More has to be done to help these women.
From an Afghan woman to Dear @jk_rowling , I am writing to you as an Afghan girl whose only crime is being born a woman in a land where womanhood is punished. Here, we are not allowed to speak loudly. Even our voices are considered threats. We are locked inside our homes,…
Today’s fascist Russia celebrates its genocidal 1939 pact with Hitler’s Nazis & violent 1940 seizure of Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania. For today’s Kremlin, Stalin’s crimes are a roadmap: armed aggression, invasion, occupation & unending subversion are standard practice. 1/2
Only decisive allied victory in Ukraine will stop them. Embargo Russia fully. Sanction third parties. Make Ukraine’s air defences impregnable. Strike military targets across Russia. Eject Russian invaders from Crimea & all occupied regions. Defeat Russia. Win the war. 2/2
In our latest Vatnik Soup video, we debunk Russia’s 'Nazis in Ukraine' myth. One of the main justifications for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has been the so-called 'denazification' of the country - an ironic claim, considering that neo-Nazis are actually fighting FOR Russia.
Face of bravery. We fight for 🇺🇦 freedom! 📷: 37th Marine Brigade
Trump is making ICE into his Rosgvardia personal security force and the FCC into his Roskomnadzor censorship agency. My "Putinization of America" articles weren’t alarmist enough! Remember that autocrats take everything they can unless stopped, they don’t self-deter.
CNBC: When the FCC's Anna Gomez writes that 'you're imposing never been seen controls over newsroom decisions and editorial judgment in direct violation of the First Amendment,' you say what? FCC CHAIR BRENDAN CARR: I think it's time for a change
