Korshak has a somewhat encouraging take on #Ukraine and #politics and EU #diplomacy, TL/DR; EU is stepping up and playing 45 like a fiddle. (By the $, EU has far surpassed US but anyway)

Also a lot of zingers. He's really feeling it right now. "Washington and LaFayette at Valley Forge. Some countries come to the assistance of others, when the fight is for Liberty and Freedom. Others, well, not so much."

The US Chose Fascism. Where Do We Go From Here?
"...treat them like the trash they are. Call out their shitty remarks and views. Stop helping them with rent or food. Block them on social media. Boycott their companies. Fuck up their fast food orders. Cut them out of your will. Stop inviting them to holidays. ... Do absolutely anything and everything within your means to make their lives miserable. Legally. And nonviolently.

Ukraine and EU regard US as unreliable at best. cc @Render
"The net effect of long-term US policy towards European security, has been to marginalize the US as a national security player in Europe."

"anyone thinking a NATO force separating the two sides in #Ukraine could stop the shooting, as far as I am concerned, is either monumentally ignorant, or actually wants to see lots of military funerals"

Today is a good day to write your governor and suggest they publicly disavow efforts to use National Guard troops or police to round-up and deport any state residents. Also tomorrow is a good day to write and the day after, etc.

Tbilisi, Georgia / October 27, 2024
Tens of thousands of Georgians came out in the streets to protest rigged elections where the ruling party Georgian (Russian) Dream stole thousands of votes. The Georgian people demand free and fair elections.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) released the following statement:
“The IC assesses that Russian influence actors manufactured a recent video that falsely depicted individuals claiming to be from Haiti and voting illegally in multiple counties in Georgia."

LMAO excruciatingly stupid premise, c'mon

I hope actblue re-evaluates their entire m.o. because they are currently standing on my last nerve. Their over the top communication routine is, IMHO, bad enough but they've inspired copy cats, some of which are straight-up grifters. I've donated directly to the campaign is there even a reason for actblue anymore? It's like even more annoying MailChimp.
Gonna track down the contact for the CEO and give them a taste of their own medicine. #politics #USA #venting

#ukraine in a couple strikes took out over a years worth of Russian ammunition production. Tell your congress critters the USA should unleash Ukraine to delete the Russian military threat to the world. I.e.; Permit ATACM use into Russia. End the war.
Put another way for the rah-rah hawks, Ukraine will do it either way and the USA (Biden) is being a lousy ally in a war against our own declared opponent. We look freaking weak. #politics

Sometimes ferries just explode. Natural causes. Not this time but sometimes.
"spokesman of the Ukrainian Navy, Dmytro Pletenchuk, confirmed the destruction of the "Conro Trader" and noted that the ferry is one of the important links in the chain of Russian military logistics."

Good news: social media ain't all that with respect to elections.
That's also the bad news.

Budanov said Putin could expect deeper strikes; he wasn't kidding. “Eleven drones were destroyed” over Moscow and its surrounding region, the defence ministry said.

“This is one of the largest ever attempts to attack Moscow with drones” -- Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin

Can't wait to see them spin that.

Interesting idea. Tough to argue against it given that most of the missiles are hitting civilian targets.
