We shouldn't have to put up with state-sanctioned abuse meted out by broken people acting out their generational trauma on the rest of us.

Another sporting champion of Ukraine has given his life to save the country.

Pavlo Ishchenko, a World and European champion strongman and power-lifter, was killed during a combat mission.
Pavlova won Ukraine's Strongest Man 4 years in a row 2022-25

The start of another TACO move?

I believe this is Trump flinching again, finding excuses not to give Tomahawks to Ukraine.

One thing caught my eye today from @politico

They reveal a policeman arrested in Belgium last week accused of spying for China, may also have spied for the Kremlin.

“Fall apart without any missiles.”

Feels about right, eh?

Take us “from within, without firing a shot.”

History will show what #Trump & #Musk did for #Putin, whether the world realizes it yet or not.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Well, the air raid map looks quite promising in Ukraine now. It's signalling me to get some sleep.

So I shall bid you good night and ask you to join me again for the new week, starting in a few hours.
Take care of your loved ones.

Russia is reporting a big fire in occupied Luhansk region tonight.

Propaganda channels say it's Alchevsk and two people have already died when two floors in an apartment block collapsed.

No photos and no word of it being war related, but keeping an open mind.

Russian monitors said 25 Ukrainian drones headed to Volgograd tonight.

Also on red alert now is Astrakhan. This is the region where Russia's latest missile, "Oreshnik" is kept and launched from, at the Kapustin Yar training ground.

It's impossible to fly into, or out of, Gelendzhik, Krasnodar + Astrakhan airports in Russia right now.

Well, unless you're strapped to a Ukrainian drone, and that's not advisable!

That's now 4 Russian airports out of action again.

Here is the fire burning in Odesa tonight following the noisy half hour as 17-20 killer Russian drones tried to do their worst.

It's not clear if this is due to falling debris or a direct hit.

The good news is that the skies are clear now over Odesa and the wider region.

There was also a big drone attack by Russia on Odesa tonight, with around 20 mopeds chugging in to destroy infrastructure.

There is some smoke over the city, but it seems air defence has done well there tonight.

One shootdown made a very loud sound heard across Odesa.

Even the traitor "head" of occupied Crimea admits another attack on the oil depot in Feodosia tonight.

The "Goblin" (his old criminal underworld name) Sergey Aksyonov posted this statement (and translation) and I've included some nice pics of the massive fire there tonight.
