Reminds me of my Grandpa. Even sounds a bit like him.
Despite no training, he did the right thing. Hope he stays safe.

Zelensky as an interlocutor in negotiations does not inspire confidence in the Russian Federation, as he is inexperienced, dependent on other countries and subject to the influence of psychotropics - Medvedev.

UK’s $3.5 Billion HMS Prince of Wales Warship Breaks Down Again

Britain’s largest warship, the 65,000-ton aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, suffered damage to its propeller shaft just after setting sail Monday, after already delaying departure to the US on Friday for other technical problems.

The five-year-old vessel is due to take part in major exercises with US and Canadian naval forces that will “shape the future of stealth jet and drone operations off the coast of North America,” according to the Royal Navy.

For now the prince of Wales remains anchored off England’s south coast awaiting the green light to cross the Atlantic while divers assess damage.

In 2018, Putin dared the West to impose as many sanctions on Russia as possible, saying it would free his hands to pursue bold measures in defense of the country’s interests.

🇱🇹In September, the national savings competition among businesses and citizens will start in Lithuania. They came up with the only possible name - PutinOut.

Until the end of the year, Lithuanians will race to save money in order to “deplete Russia” and receive gifts: the three most economical companies will receive 50 thousand euros for office renovation, they will be invited to the ceremony and awarded certificates and badges.

And among individuals, the authors of the most original ways to save money will receive prizes.

There were miscalculations with the whole Ukraine situation.

Russia miscalculated. They miscalculated based on an outcome which worked for them 2x. It worked in Georgia and it worked in Crimea. Why would it not work in Ukraine? Of course they chose a tested strategy.

It failed — they pulled back and readjusted. Exactly as a professional army should.

Russian Armed Forces Adapt and overcome. You can catch them by surprise — but you better capitalize on it because it will not last long. They’ll always adapt and overcome. That’s what a professional army does, that is the whole point of military training, especially Russian training.

But do we know who miscalculated the most? — not Europe, not NATO, but the US. The US has failed spectacularly. American economists, think-tanks and analysts have completely fallen for their own propaganda. They really believed the story of Russia being a “gas station masquerading as a country”. That was a derogatory piece of propaganda that came out from the US years ago, it stuck with them and they eventually believed it.

They expected the Russian economy to fold; completely collapse and implode. This situation has showed how bad US intelligence is inside of Russia. They truly had no idea about the sophistication of the Russian economic model. Their own country slipped into recession and their allies overseas have been pushed into what is going to be one of the biggest economic and humanitarian disasters Europe has ever seen. — all thanks to the White House and its incompetence. The Russian Ruble is doing great.
Russian Manufacturing and service sectors are now generating bigger profits than before the sanctions and before the Ukrainian war.

Russia was not confident before. They always believed that they low-key need the west. They didn’t think they’re good enough. — now they found out that they are. They found out their economy is self-sufficient and that they can rely on themselves and their industrial power & economic influence in the world.

This is the wake up call Russia needed to move forward — And it will do so. Russia now knows that it can, that it is able and that it is strong. It knows it has some of the most competent politicians in the world — not driven by emotion, but by wisdom and analytical leadership.

No matter how you feel about politics, nobody can deny that Lavrov and Putin are today’s sharpest minds. There’s absolutely nobody that could fold either one of them in a discussion/negotiation — and again, Russia now knows that.

In conclusion, the US is making Russia incredibly powerful— from within: which is exactly where it was missing all these years.

Imagine being forced to pony up nearly 10k for two months of power just so the West can continue propping up the corrupt Zelensky regime and still keeping the Ukraine flag in your Twitter handle🤦‍♂️

Italian Coffee Price Crisis

Italy is struck by the coffee crisis, and the price of a beloved drink is soaring as a result of anti-Russian sanctions. Even in non-tourist locations, the price of a cup of coffee has increased significantly. Owners of the coffee shops complain about high electricity prices, and locals complain about the hefty price tag.

Readovka presents exclusive footage by Amedeo Avondet, an Italian activist and leader of the United Italy Party. In the video, a local resident of Viareggio, a seaside city in Tuscany, Italy, talks about the impact of sanctions on his business.

"We reach 160,000 euros every year only in expenses. It's terrible," says the coffee shop owner.

American "volunteer" brings aid to Ukrainian militants and posts photo showing Nazi tattoo one of them

Right after that, James Vasquez, faced accusations and discontent from Twitter users. Then, he deleted the tweet and published a new photo, hiding the "inconvenient content". However, the discussion about Ukrainian Nazism continued under the post.

Two Ukrainian fighters on the frontlines in Kherson, who have oversight of events, described a situation that differed from the Ukrainian officials’ statements. According to them, fighting is taking place in Kherson region, but it is not the major counteroffensive being touted by Kyiv.

The soldiers on the frontline in the Kherson region who spoke to the Guardian asked to remain anonymous because they are not allowed to talk to the media without permission. One soldier said there was no counteroffensive, the other said that battles were taking place but to halt a Russian offensive launched last week.

“There is no counteroffensive and there won’t be,” said a fighter who has been serving on the frontlines in Kherson region since March. “There might be an imitation of one but there won’t be a real one. We absolutely do not have the weaponry for one.”
