The #Guardian/#Observer begins its "Glorioius Ukrainian #CounterOffensive!" #Propaganda campaign by interviewing a 64 year old Ukrainian infantryman! 🤷‍♂🤦‍♂


‘We’ll show just how weak they are’: Ukraine primed for crucial offensive


The last time “Luh” served in the military, he was a Soviet conscript, sailing the Arctic Ocean with the USSR’s northern fleet over four decades ago.

Then last February, the 64-year-old signed up again to serve. “I didn’t volunteer in 2014 because I thought the country could do this without me, but then last year I saw they couldn’t.”

❗️The Russian Foreign Ministry responded to the IOC's initiative to admit transgender people to the Olympic Games.

"Such innovations threaten the existence of women's sports, because now men who have changed their sex and have a clear physical advantage can now be allowed to compete. What principles of fair play and access to sports without discrimination, which Thomas Bach cares about so much, can we talk about in this case?"

In 2021, Laurel Hubbard became the first transgender to compete in the Olympics. The representative of New Zealand failed to perform a single successful snatch in the weightlifting competition in the weight category over 87 kg.

This is highly disturbing, you’ve been warned.

A Ukrainian territorial defense forces drone discovered a civilian, who made an unfortunate decision to go fishing in his inflatable boat, near Kherson. Despite his desperate attempts to signal that he was posing no threat, they didn’t just murder him in cold blood, but made a video with music and cartoon audio added (something about a goat venturing into a vegetable garden, like this is a big joke) and added their logo at the end, as if this is something to be proud of.

EU schemes up sweeteners to woo countries away from Russia and China
A confidential briefing shows the EU’s individualized plans to win back — or not lose — four ‘priority countries’ on the Western alliance’s edges.

The EU is plotting how to win friends and influence people — in other countries.

Earlier this week, EU officials circulated a confidential briefing, obtained by POLITICO, that details several individualized plans to win back — or not lose — four key “priority countries” that sit on the edge of the Western-led alliance trying to isolate Russia, arm Ukraine and constrain China.

The countries: Brazil, Chile, Nigeria and Kazakhstan.

The document indicates where — and how — the EU thinks it can make progress in each one. There is the expected invocation of possible trade agreements, but the document goes well beyond that, suggesting tailored offers the EU can make on energy, migration, economic development or security coordination. The focus is distinctly on carrots, not sticks.

The unstated goal: To get more friends and build a next-generation economy without cozying up to autocrats. Indeed, Russia and China loom over the entire document, with several anxious mentions of the countries’ global influence or destabilizing behavior.

“We find ourselves in a competitive geopolitical environment: not only a battle of narratives but also a battle of offers,” the document argues. “We need to improve our offer and enhance our relationship with them.”

EU foreign affairs ministers are set to discuss the strategy at a meeting Monday in Luxembourg.

It is, said one senior EU official, “a huge reorientation … of the way we do foreign policy — not of our foreign policy, of course, but the way we do it.”

The memo shows how, fourteen months into the Ukraine war, the EU is still grappling with how to expand its influence. While the West’s core coalition has remained remarkably solid on the war, officials have struggled to make broader inroads in Latin America, Africa and Asia — especially in the face of the billions China is spreading around.

“It is not rocket science, but it’s good that it’s now being brought together into a somewhat coherent strategy,” one diplomat said. The “ultimate aim,” the diplomat added, “would be to somehow propose an alternative that could be more attractive than what China offers.”

There is nothing new in that kind of policy — trying to influence the potential allies of your competitor. Maybe for now it is even a softer approach, than it used to be. I remember well the sensation in the 90s when it was obvious that the direction of the American aggression is pin-pointing those countries, which used to be in friendly relationships with the USSR: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria. It was an American revenge for their former policy and pro-socialist orientation. USA were purposedly destroying those states and impoverishing their people... However, they did not touch Cuba and Vietnam — two places where they have been rebuffed previously. So it was not just mean, but also a cowardly policy.

Just want to clarify, that we very well distinguish between American people and American political and financial elites...

😄 Poster at German demonstration: We are not afraid of Putin. We are afraid of you.

Thousands of German residents took to the streets demanding an end to arms deliveries to the Kiev regime.

In the cities of Magdeburg, Hamburg, and Fulda, residents staged demonstrations. They spoke out against their government's policies, media propaganda, and arms deliveries to Ukraine.

🔹 According to the demonstrators, Russia is not an enemy of Germany, but the German authorities are pumping modern weapons to the AFU, which only delays the end of the conflict, leads to its escalation and an increase in the number of victims.

The image above is obviously generated by AI

It is used by inept
#Ukrainian/#NATO propagandists and presented as "real" in the propaganda story linked below.


NOTE that the bandage on the head of this AI-generated "Russian" is somehow blended into his skin.


The story claims to be reporting on:

"A #Russian from western #Siberia who volunteered to fight in #Bakhmut and elsewhere before being badly wounded says his unit suffered huge casualties, his documents were lost, his salary was stolen and he was dismissed from the army without explanation while in hospital. "

Original Propaganda story, in Russian:

Twitter thread in English where the Twit posting this on twitter pretends it is factual:

Note that the obviously fake AI-generated image of the imaginary Russian is published by the Twitter Twit without comment on its obvious fake-ness
