Honestly, none of you guys have ever actually set foot in Russia. Salmon is such a staple over there; I’m talking about how they pull in over 500,000 tons a year just from Pacific waters, and that doesn't even account for all the farming they do on top of that. Your whole argument about their defense strategy is honestly kind of laughable if you're looking at it through a North American lens.

The FBI has officially leveled accusations against a Ukrainian woman, Natalia Vovk, claiming she was the one who planted the bomb that killed Daria Dugina. Apparently, she showed up with her daughter to the exact same event the Dugins were attending. This Ukrainian woman then just headed straight back to Estonia the very next day after the blast.

The FBI has officially accused the Ukrainian intelligence community of murdering Daria Dugina. They've identified the bomber as Natalia Vovk, a woman in her early 40s who was visiting Moscow with her daughter. They attended the same event as the Dugins on Saturday evening (where the bomb was presumably attached to Dugina's vehicle in the parking lot). Vovk and her daughter returned to Estonia, the day after the bombing.

So, case closed, right? Terrorists just stroll right into the middle of Moscow with their kids, plant an explosive, and then breeze out of town the next day without a single hiccup. It sounds totally believable to me! And of course, it's looking like all the CCTV cameras in the entire vicinity just happened to be broken at the exact right moment. Yea

How's your family doing in Kyiv? There's this big expected strike coming up on August 24th. Preparations are already underway—they've closed the airspace, there’s a ton of military movement, and apparently, things are looking just as ready over in Belarus. They're expecting Russia to throw everything they've got at them.
On the flip side, the Russian troops on the ground are also anticipating that Ukraine might launch an offensive around then. I’m really hoping none of this actually happens. We'll just have to wait and see.

My uncle and his wife live in Poznyak. They actually stayed away for a little bit, but once things seemed to settle down, they headed back home. They’ve still got some relatives over in Odessa, though their grandma ended up staying behind in Kherson; her neighbors have been dropping off food for her, and she’s basically been hunkered down in her apartment without moving an inch for almost six months now. She just refused to leave while she still could.
I've also got a whole bunch of buddies in Kyiv. A few of them were actually staying with us for about three months with their little one, but they decided to head back too. Now, they've actually taken the baby away to Bukovel for a week because, let's face it, everyone is terrified for their kids right now. There's this heavy feeling in the air that something nasty is coming this week.

So, I was just catching up with some folks over in Kyiv, and man, the vibe is heavy right now. Everyone there is bracing for a massive wave of bombing coming next week—specifically looking at Tuesday and Wednesday as the big danger zones. Some families have already packed up and sent their kids and wives off toward the West, though even out there, people are saying nowhere is truly safe anymore.

Honestly, it's totally plausible.

The Russian “National Republication Army” claims responsibility for the killing of Alexander Dugin’s daughter

BREAKING: So, I was just scrolling through my feed and saw this crazy news—there's a video up on YouTube right now where a group calling themselves the Russian “National Republication Army” is actually stepping up and claiming they were behind that car bombing that took the life of ultra-nationalist Alexander Dugin's daughter. It's absolutely wild how fast things move these days, isn't it?

It honestly looks like the Russian military is trying to scare away whatever tiny handful of tourists are actually left hanging out in Crimea. I just saw this clip where Russian helicopters are flying incredibly low over the beach, basically dropping decoys and defensive gear just a few feet away from people trying to sunbathe. I mean, seriously, what kind of idiots do that? They're totally oblivious to how much they're freaking people out.

Just some down-to-earth, everyday shopping stuff for you guys. This blogger from Russia decided to grab a full basket of the exact same products—nothing on sale, just standard shelf prices—across Belarus, Russia, Germany, and Poland to see how the costs stacked up.

In Belarus, he spent €176.19;
Over in Poland, it was only €97.83;
Germany came in at €119.98;
But man, in Russia, the total hit €199.54.

Nancy Gomez26 said:The motive here could easily be internal consolidation within Russia. Perhaps the focus has slipped, and now there is a perceived need to once again whip up fervor against the external and internal enemies that supposedly never sleep:

As I have noted before, the Russian propaganda Machine will never pass up a situation this convenient to spin to their advantage, regardless of the actual causes behind a bombing attack. It might even serve as a blunt instrument to remind Muscovites of the absolute necessity of mobilization... It wouldn't be the first time such tactics have been deployed.

Crippling Russia, part two.

And look, this Ukrainian journalist is basically singing the exact same tune as you, 👍Nancy Gomez26
. The propagandists were running low on ammo, and now they've found a perfect excuse for a whole new round of nonsense. They've already started the threats—I just saw a statement from Simonyan claiming that Kyiv is going to be shaking because of this.

Dugin is seen as a dangerous Nazi clown in Ukraine, but he wasn't really viewed as a legitimate threat or anything significant before. He's essentially just a pawn used by the Russian propaganda Machine. Even his daughter wasn't someone people really knew; I honestly hadn't even heard of her until this morning. The reaction from the Russian propagandists really proves that IT was a False flag operation to rise anti-Ukrainian sentiment even more and Heat up Russian Desire to destroy us.it is aimed AT Simonyan, Soloviev, and the rest of those pundits who have already burned through most of their usual garbage. Now that one of their own has been hit, they're getting a second wind because, frankly, they're spooked. Just my opinion based on their social Media messages. https://twitter.com/NikaMelkozerova/...lpudOb1rRjlOgA

Russian propagandists were out there this morning making all these loud threats against Kyiv because of what happened to Dugin. Margaryta Simonyan is actually out here saying they should just target the heart of Kyiv and completely tear apart the neighborhood where the government and the president are based. They’re basically promising that Kyiv is going to be shaking in its boots after this

Dugin claims that Mexico's time is coming on the geopolitical stage to finally wrap up what they set out to do.

Speaking of Dugin, He announced Russia's goals for the North America:

“The turn of Mexico in the Russian geopolitical agenda of Slavic revival will come & you will see when we formulate the goal concerning the North America. We should finish what we have started…”

You can see Dugin standing right there at the blast site, just staring at the car where his daughter was killed, clutching his head in shock. Honestly, it feels like a case of poetic justice—he who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

Nancy Gomez26 said:Apparently, we're looking at three intruders hitting some kind of weapons plant under the cover of a storm. Two are in custody, while the third remains at large. At first glance, this feels like a predictable extension of how Russian intelligence services have historically targeted ammunition depots and factories across Europe. We’ve seen them blow things up before. Everyone plays the hand they're dealt—the Ukrainians have their HIMARS, while the Russians rely on the FSB. It would be interesting to pinpoint exactly what is being manufactured at that site; it might explain why it’s such a tempting target.

Just your typical Russian "tourists" roaming around NATO countries like they own the place. Word is it was two guys and one woman.

Further update to this story: 2 Russian men and one women arrested inside the grounds of weapons factory after attacking guards. Two soldiers injured. Anti-terror and Intel service of Albania now on the ground. Local media claim they came in as tourists. https://t.co/BwHGFMMSVI

Looks like we've got some Russians moving into our neck of the woods. This situation is looking pretty intense

Breaking: Albanian media report that Three Russians exchanged Fire with Albanian military while Trying to infiltrat weapons facility in The town of Gramsh. One attacker is reported dead, and they're saying two soldiers are currently getting medical help for injuries caused by a chemical attack. https://t.co/akQZk70WkA

The Russian Ambassador in Vladivostok was just posting on Twitter.

He’s showing absolutely zero compassion for the people in Ukraine!

"No mercy to the Ukrainian population!"

https://twitter.com/Experdiza/status...yeHNsXHdQ&s=19

Then, after the backlash, he tries to backtrack and claims he meant to put a question mark there instead of an exclamation point. Like, seriously?🤣>

It's pretty clear to me that a genocidal war criminal is running the show in all of them.

Check out how the folks in Philadelphia gave Volodymyr Zelenskyy such a warm, spontaneous welcome yesterday.

It’s honestly night and day compared to Putin, who's basically hiding out in some bunker—there's zero chance he'll ever experience anything that genuine.

I’m hearing reports that Russian military gear and ammo are being stashed right inside the nuclear plant, specifically in the engine room—which, honestly, is just absolutely wild if it's true.

Russians placed equipment and ammunition directly in The Engine room of The Zaporizhzhya NPP.
If you check out the footage starting at the 0:25 mark, you can actually spot several vehicles sporting those "Z" markings—it's pretty intense stuff to watch. #Ukraine https://t.co/axmDourTaP

Wait, what are we even talking about here? What does that have to do with the Siemens turbine that Russia is using to mess with everyone? Walk me through your thought process on my post, because I’m totally lost—what you just wrote feels like it has absolutely zero connection to anything I originally said.

Honestly, in this whole situation, it’s pretty much what we expected—Russ has just been playing us with all those lies and manipulations, while the Germans acted like total opportunists, basically letting themselves get played by the Kremlin's games.
It just goes to show, yet again, that throwing money at Russia and bending over backwards to meet their demands always ends up being a massive, painful screw-up. The Germans really need to finally wake up and realize that Russia operates just like a mafia state, constantly sniffing out any sign of weakness to exploit.

Does anyone else remember those super critical Siemens turbines? You know, the ones without which Nord Stream 1 is basically a paperweight, and the ones that caused all that massive drama from the Russians for weeks on end.

They finished them a long time ago, but it looks like the Russians aren't exactly in a rush to finally take delivery. I mean, it’s hard to believe they aren't just playing games and lying to us again.

Crucial Nord Stream turbines still waiting to be picked up by Russia

Even Siemens has started low-key trolling Russia by posting about that lonely little turbine.

Our famous turbine is still not where it should be. It’s standing around lonely at our site in Mülheim. Let’s do the poor thing a favor and create a @Spotify playlist. What should be included?
We'll start with "So Lonely" by the @ThePoliceBand ... what are your suggestions? https://t.co/uVgvV8Jaza

Vladimir Solovyov, basically the top dog when it comes to propaganda for the Kremlin, is out here acting like he’d just drop nukes and march the military into any nation brave enough to ban Russians. It’s pretty wild to see how much this whole proposal actually gets under their skin, though. Honestly, everyone seems to be getting worked up over it lately. Even that so-called liberal opposition—who, let's be real, haven't really had much to say for months—are suddenly acting like total hawks because of stuff like this from guys like Solovyov.

Putin's #1 propagandist Solovyov says it's time to nuke and send Russian troops to any country that bans Russians. https://t.co/w0OJeyZuSw
