This is a link to an interview with political scientist John Mearsheimer.  I admittedly hadn't heard of him, but he is apparently pretty prominent as a "realist" in international relations.  He has repeatedly laid the blame for the whole situation in Ukraine on the US, and he continues to do so to this day.

This interview though is just masterful.  He fully Mearsheimer as a complete idiot all without ever getting hostile, or without challenging him.  He just keeps asking questions...

I find weirdly odd how he's so hostile when the interviewer brings up his trip to Hungary and meeting Orbán

The North Atlantic Fellas Organization is buying a naval drone to fuck up the remains of the Black Sea fleet.

We held a contest to name the drone. The top 2 names were The Dildo of Consequences (Rarely Arrives Lubed) and Raccoon's Revenge.

For reference, the russians decided to kidnap a raccoon from the Kherson zoo when they fled, for some reason.

Raccoon's Revenge ended up being picked.

Are you an active NAFO Fella? If so

Reports that Ukrainian naval drones have struck the Novorossiysk naval base.

We have this lady Fella who's been selling booty pics to fund the Georgian Leagion. She raised enough funds to buy a pickup truck for them lol:







"Mommy, how did daddy die?"

"He got wrecked by a Georgian driving a car bought with booty pics. Also it was covered in cartoon dog camo and had butt cheeks on the windshield. Now finish your potato, your mining shift starts soon."

That's pretty impressive :cheers"

It may just be me as a train geek, but the job Ukrainian Railways are doing keeping the country going is amazing - first Kyiv-Kherson service was tonight (https://twitter.com/IuliiaMendel/status/1593739270224855041?s=20&t=W5pC-bgFz0gEiDoVW-hYag) on the "Train to Victory":


(Also when I went to Ukraine I traveled by train and they're great )

Seems like the international press is picking up the Russian narrative on this incident where it's claimed Ukrainians filmed themselves executing 9 Russian POWs who had surrendered.

What seems to be missing from those reportings -admittedly you need to pay attention to the video- is that said video ends with the last Russian soldier emerging with an assault rifle and opening fire point blank on the Ukrainians:
