Pro social media tip: if you're an account with 240k followers, coming down on a guy with 6k followers and rallying your fanbase to troll him is boosting his ranges, not yours.

Finally, for the obligatory "lol Ukrs killed 100k Poles in Volhynia but you support them ahahaha u dumb" vatnik - dude, we got over what Germans did to us in WW2, getting over what Ukrainian nationalists did is small potatoes in comparison. Cope with that.

If Putin will introduce mobilisation and forced draft, he'll discover just how big is the gap between an average Russian's willingness to plaster "Z for Zictory" on their German car and their readiness to die slowly and really ugly in a wet cold trench near Kherson.

🇭🇺🇺🇸 After reading all the mean tweets about his views on Ukraine, Mearsheimer decided to seek comfort and solace with the one European leader who fully supports his view on the fate of small countries squashed between Great Empires.

26 former judges of Polish Constitutional Tribunal have issued a joint statement concerning the K 3/21 judgment. Among others, they state that the judgment does not fit into competencies of the Tribunal and is by itself incompatible with the Constitution.

Schröder's "Putin had no idea of atrocities, it must have been people lower in the chain of command" has the same energy as "Hitler has no idea about the camps, it's all Himmler and co"

The logic of "Ukraine should just roll over and surrender because that's how it goes, but Gaza should fight the eternal struggle against the imperialist invader to the last dead Palestinian child" just doesn't check out.

Now my notifications are full of shiba inu dogs. They seem suspiciously well organised and coordinated. This cannot be an accident, there must some professional intelligence agency behind this.

The reason Western militaries are so weak compared to the almighty army of the Soviet Empire is that they waste time teaching soldiers pronouns, genders, the concept of not abandoning your own comrades and driving tanks without crashing into trees.
