Tearing down posters of #Zelensky...
Yes! Do it!
Wait, what am I saying?
See these posters are #Kremlin disinfo in #Budapest, #Hungary, lies about #Ukraine. And crowds are doing it is a statement of disgust with #Orban and #Putin, shouting "Ruszkik Haza" ("Russians go home")

"They want from #Ukraine a permit to hold their parade, so that they can go out onto the square safely for one hour once a year, and then go on killing our people and waging war...
We have also received messages from some states close to #Russia, saying that their representatives plan to be in #Moscow. An odd desire in these days. We do not recommend it"
This fucking guy
{chef's kiss}
I love #Zelensky
"Ukraine reportedly launches dozens of #drones at #Moscow ahead of #VictoryDayParade"
There is high stakes #trolling going on right now about #Russia's May 9 #parade
#Ukraine has already heard the word " #nuclear" (Russia's goto #threat) in response to the mere hint Ukraine has the capacity to strike the parade
My advice, for what it's worth (not much):
It's a good #headfake scenario
Let #Putin have his #anxiety and strike another #oilRefinery on May 9
It's #VictoryDay!
Some decrepit #Kremlin goons spent 45 minutes saluting each other in #RedSquare
🥳
For Victory Day, celebrating the #RedArmy's defeat of #NaziGermany in a war started when the #Soviets and the #Nazis agreed to invade #Poland together, let's watch this new video from #Kramatorsk
Ukrainians cower, fearful of " #HumanSafari": #Ukraine's civilians are hunted for laughs by #Russia's drones, the videos then posted on #socialMedia
5 killed:
"Russia has passed a law allowing its central bank and other financial institutions to operate defence systems and arm staff to ward off #drone attacks"
*without govt involvement*
*the banks pay for it*
Hmm
1. #Russia admits its air defense is degraded. It can't protect vital assets
2. "You pay for it" is admitting financial strain
3. I think allowing independent paramilitaries in a society with deepening anger won't work out very well for the #Kremlin

#Military secrets are fiercely guarded for obvious reasons. But also obviously in a #war your enemy gets a lot of exposure to the operating parameters, capabilities, and weaknesses of your #technology. And gets plenty of physical samples
So #Ukraine just open sourced all of #Russia's military secrets 😆
Well not strictly, it's only for allies
And a knock-on effect is it devalues Russian arms sales because potential buyers know it's all exposed
It's called #TrophyLab
If you don't know, #Russia has an annual #economy forum
So we're already in a joking mood
They had a 'Russia 2050' report
3 scenarios for 25 years out:
1. inertial: "American and Chinese hegemony"
2. bad: Russia loses the war and is "colonized"
3. good: "ideological war" victory, nukes are used for some reason, Kyiv/ Odesa/ Kharkiv/ "and so on" annexed and the #EU disintegrates I guess just for funsies
There's better amateur fan fiction conventions
I fully support #Ukraine in the #UkraineWar
Ukraine has to fight. #Russia can just go home. If Russia wins, their #ethnofascist #imperialism and #colonialism means #genocide for Ukrainians
However they have limited #labor. So they turbocharge #innovation
From such efforts, something horrible is born with terrible implications for the world
Literally #Skynet from "The #Terminator" movies
"Fully #autonomous #drones have killed human soldiers for the first time"
There's hundreds of these videos now, but for your #schadenfreude enjoyment I chose the one with the soundtrack "Take a Long Line" by the Australian hard rock group the Angels (1978)
#Russia is running out of gas
Who could have predicted this in 2022?
Someone in #Ukraine in the last few years did
And then delivered
Fabulous
💪 😤 🇺🇦
👏 👏 👏
Fuck you Russia. Leave Ukraine. Now
"Russia’s Gas Lines Are So Long They Can Be Seen From Space"
for confused Europeans working through the shifting sands of the #geopolitics of the modern world:
2016: #USA is the #military "protector of the free world"
2026: #Ukraine is "protector of the free world" ( #USA has devolved into that incoherent bigot uncle you do your best to ignore at family gatherings)
adjust your budgets and attitudes accordingly
" #Trump says #US will grant Ukraine's request for license to build #Patriot interceptors"

Today's Russian idiom:
#CatherinetheGreat visited #Crimea in 1787. #GrigoryPotemkin constructed fake villages along the #Dnipro River to convince her all was well
It was not
An old story, still very relevant:
To defeat your enemy, know your enemy
And for #Russia, that means pierce the veil of lies
Show how something "strong" is not
" #Ukraine destroys air defenses protecting #Putin's palace near #Gelendzhik, Russian media report"

'“Russian Sky Will Be Closed”, #Zelenskyy Warns Air Companies Operating in #Russia'
Just to be clear, because fake outrage concern #troll idiots and #vatnik liars always clutch their pearls over #Ukrainian actions and never mention #Russia's constant mass murder of civilians:
" #Zelensky noted that #Ukraine poses no threat to civilian aviation itself, yet the war initiated by #Moscow is effectively shutting down its own skies"
A grim milestone for #Russia was reached this morning:
1.5 million casualties in their stupid #UkraineWar
(Casualties = dead wounded captured and missing)
Obviously #WWII surpasses that, but no conflict since. In fact 1.5 million casualties surpasses all conflicts Russia/ #USSR was involved in since, combined
https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/russia-s-losses-in-ukraine-war-surpass-1-1788939068.html
The world is a very stupid place full of very stupid people who don't understand the stakes with rising #fascism. Russia shows them where it leads. Do they see?
