Anders Puck Nielsen @anderspuck on why the USA can’t buy Greenland.

It sounds like Greenland is a dependent territory of Denmark.

Rather than become a US state, couldn’t it become a dependent territory of the USA, Russia or China instead? (If the Greenlanders want).

Dr. Andrei Illarionov, ex-advisor to khuilo, in an interview with the Kyiv Post.

Bizarrely, it seems that Putin feels that he is something akin to the second coming of Christ.

Go figure, Hamas lies!

“All available evidence shows that Israel has followed the laws of war, legal obligations, best practices in civilian harm mitigation and still found a way to reduce civilian casualties to historically low levels,”

Sky News with an analysis of the people involved.

Spoiler, surprisingly the Russian authorities picked up the right people, however contrary to what Russia claims, it WAS an ISIS attack.

(Of course, by the time that Russia has sufficiently beaten the perpetrators, the story they give (which already lacks credibility) will match whatever Putin wants).

The 2024 “Global Power 2024 index” is out.

I was surprised to see that Italy is more powerful than France 🤷‍♂️

Ukraine is rated higher than any EU country other than Italy or France.

One analysis of why the Ukrainian offensive failed, ripping apart the Washington Post and American and Ukrainian leadership.

(What I would point out is that the article fails to mention Zaluzhnyi’s analysis published by the Economist, which reaches the same conclusion with less detail and more decorum).

Another fascinating quote from the same article:

Gen Zaluzhny initially believed he could halt Russia “by bleeding its troops”. He added: “That was my mistake. Russia has lost at least 150,000 dead. In any other country such casualties would have stopped the war.”

The 49-year-old, known to friends as “Our Valera”, told The Economist: “Let’s be honest, it’s a feudal state where the cheapest resource is human life. And for us…the most expensive thing we have is our people.”

Gen Zaluzhny commenting on the counteroffensive, including this gem…

“If you look at Nato’s text books and at the maths which we did [in planning the counter-offensive], four months should have been enough time for us to have reached Crimea, to have fought in Crimea, to return from Crimea and to have gone back in and out again,”

Oh boy! Russia’s submarine loss has brought out tons of memes.

Surprise surprise everyone! (🙃)

Russia has informed Brazil's aircraft investigation authority that it will not probe the crash of the Brazilian-made Embraer (EMBR3.SA) jet that killed mercenary boss Yevgeny Prigozhin under international rules…

Russia, so predictable in their seeking to hide the truth 🤦‍♂️

It is all happing…
