It’ll be like the Chechen war - said one mobilized soldier. Even if it ends, our leader will thank and leave. A new one will say: I never promised you anything. Back home they’ll say: We never sent you. One of many remarks gathered by Verstka from mobilized Russians. 🧵Thread:

Forbes Ukraine published the first article about Pavlo "Lazar" Yelizarov, a film and TV producer, who founded the National Guard Lasar's Group, Ukraine's top heavy bomber UAS unit. The group has destroyed more than $12 billion worth of Russian equipment, including more than 2,000

These are like the gifts that Politburo members used to give to Brezhnev
Tim Cook: It is engraved for President Trump. It is a unique unit of one. And the base comes from Utah, and is 24 karat gold.

:-) Trump lærer af Danmark og overvejer at indføre fulde "danske tilstande" på boligmarkedet - helt uden beskatning af gevinst ved salg af egen bolig for nogen. (bemærk dog at US states beskatter den). Danmark som foregangsland (i vanvid) #dkøko #dkpol #dkmedier
Ending the capital gains tax on home sales (as Trump is considering proposing) would just be another handout to the rich. The 10% of homeowners that currently pay the tax have 5.5x the net worth of other homeowners and make an average of $431K.

:-) this is truly awesome....... imagine if the EU internal market came to Canada??
British Columbia has reached a trade agreement with Ontario. This will make it easier for people to work in both provinces, provide producers easier access to markets, while giving consumers more choice.

If we hit $50,000 today, 40% of the goal is secured—fortifications that save lives. Only $5,000 left to raise. Every retweet, like, and donation helps Ukraine hold the line. 🔗 https://t.co/2cmTZuyyg3

"These tariffs are already hitting the US auto industry," @AdamPosen tells @business, & anti-migration policies in the US are also "inflationary, if not stagflationary." Watch:

thank you for your support. 16,000$ fundraised yesterday. Very long way ahead of us! but we will get there! Reposts and any engagement with the post is highly appreciated :)
Yesterday, I launched a new fundraiser to send two more excavators to Ukraine. Unfortunately, due to declining interest in the topic, the fundraiser didn’t go quite as planned, but we still raised $16,000 (our usual goal for the first day is 20% of the total or 24k). So overall,

Mall opening in Ramallah in April 2025. This is the administrative capital of the State of Palestine free from Hamas insanity in Gaza. Proves how meaningless, destructive and insane October 7 was in Gaza.

:-) It is becoming clearer by the day that this man is really good at politics...... bodes well for Hungary and Europe
The Voks2025 government propaganda campaign is a total failure. Based on information we received from multiple sources within Magyar Posta (Hungarian Post) only 3-7% of the sent 'ballots' were returned. This means that realistically, a maximum of 500,000 people may have 'voted'

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

“...where the traditional, core western political & military institutions are being subject to neglect, or contempt, by the Trump admin, the EU, but also the UK, Canada, Japan, are going to be looking to strengthen other channels,” @jfkirkegaard says. https://t.co/Gu8PqWfoYM

Important U.S. allies are trying to bolster their ties as the Trump administration shifts priorities and reshapes the world order.
