How Turkey Became Putin’s ‘Pit Stop’ For Selling Camouflaged Fuel To The EU – POLITICO
How does that saying go; fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me if it becomes "fool me twenty times" like Europe with China...Only a week or so ago we had European leaders saying that China promised them they'd stop helping Russia and how we can trust China, Lol. Europe can't even properly enforce its own sanctions on Russia. Weakness all round, I'm tired.

Robotyne.

▶️The Russian MoD claims Robotyne has been occupied, but this is false. Yet, Russians have managed to occupy more area towards the center in recent weeks.
By now, this town has lost all its strategic value. It has been flattened and is completely undefendable. pic.twitter.com/BobtF7MEpI
I wish the Baltics had the military might of those in western Europe...In an ideal world the roles would be reversed, those massive powerhouses in western Europe would instead be tiny countries with limited firepower and it would be the Baltics who are the strongest military force in Europe. Baltics are proving that bravery isn't limited to how big or small you are.
People in the Kharkiv metro are singing the anthem on Vyshyvanka Day today. These parades have been held for years, but this is the first one underground—a bold stand against the Russian advance, showing Kharkiv’s strength and resilience. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦💪🏻 pic.twitter.com/8rM9LA1u8Z

This is interesting and compelling analysis…a counter to the “doomers” who keep predicting or hoping for Ukraine to fail.

| BFR said: Guys, my only thought on the harsh restriction the US has imposed on Ukraine not being allowed to use US weapons to attack true Russian soil is the nuclear threat. |
Looks like we'll be waiting to see tens of thousands of Russian soldiers die, because the USA gave the order that their huge aid package shall not be used against Russian soldiers. This is exactly why the aid package didn't excite me: The limitless ineptitude and stupidity of the American leaders. The Republican House leader actually did them a favor by drawing all the blame on him for months.
Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.
USA lifted the restriction (and UK) but honestly I don't believe them until I see Storm Shadow/HIMARS used on Russia...
Just where I'm at with my trust in the West ATM.
