Wagner’s founder Prigozhin is in a fight for his life
He's "learning a hard lesson in Kremlin politics: it doesn’t matter how useful you were yesterday, what matters is how useful you may be tomorrow." Never mind.

Interesting calculation discussed in this new @Forbes piece. Russia looks to be running out of T-72s even more quickly than previously thought. Estimated that Russia has already lost 2/3 of its T-72s. What’s left is older and crappier. https://t.co/muasWePWVz

In his clearest terms yet, DeSantis articulates his view on Ukraine in a statement to Fox News, saying, “While the U.S. has many vital national interests…becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.” https://t.co/HPNia9a5kI

"Territorial Dispute" - Twat.

Ron DeSantis Says Protecting Ukraine Is Not a Key U.S. Interest - The New York Times

On Mr. Carlson's show, Mr. DeSantis separated himself from Republicans who say the problem with Mr. Biden's Ukraine policy is that he's not doing enough. Mr. DeSantis made clear he thinks Mr. Biden is doing too much, without a clearly defined objective, and taking actions that risk provoking war between the U.S. and Russia.

Mr. DeSantis's views on Ukraine policy now align with Mr. Trump's. The former president also answered Mr. Carlson's questionnaire.

So, USA released a video today showing how their drone was intentionally destroyed by the Russians in international airspace even though Russia said they didn't do anything to the drone. Russia really wants to look stupid on a daily basis and asks for more and more problems.

We should respond...By arming Ukraine even more. Can we give Ukraine long range missiles yet?

The video was so brazen, it was a clear attempt to fuck with the drone and take it down.

Bit insane that I'm not even surprised by 1,000 a day now, it is almost a regular thing.

We're going to hit 200,000 soon enough which was their original invasion force size.

This really just happened!
Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't realized that Ukraine is in Europe.

Today, as you can see in the video below, MTG made the incredibly stupid statement saying that “I’ve never seen Putin actually show in any detail his plans to invade Europe. No one has… https://t.co/C2u0SlX59X pic.twitter.com/sji0P41xe1

We have some dumb MFs in UK Government but MTG is without doubt one of the dumbest MFs in Government in the world.
