🇭🇺 | Novo Primeiro-Ministro da Hungria acaba de opor-se à voz do povo húngaro e aprova o pacto migratório imposto pela UE. A Hungria passará a receber milhões de refugiados, medida anteriormente rejeitada por Orbán.

@SimonOstrovsky @NewsHour There is no oil in the world, everyone heavily depends on few suppliers, nobody gives a shit about Ukraine.

Ukraine’s allies have a temporary opportunity to do immense damage to Russia’s war effort by redoubling pressure on its economy and re-arming Ukraine. Watch my exclusive @NewsHour interview with Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha.

@CarlierThierr11 @FranceinSweden This will be a target practice for Russians.

👏👏 Congratulations to 🇸🇪 and 🇺🇦 for this huge step ! Gripen is a fantastic fighter. With 🇨🇵 Mirage 2000-5, and Rafale also coming soon, 🇺🇦 Air Force to win in 🇺🇦 sky ! @FranceinSweden

@m_stadnyk @HavryshkoMarta How is he going to lose? Ukraine is losing on the ground.

@HavryshkoMarta Desperation becomes you. What’s your Plan B, Marta? For when Putin loses, which is very soon.

I'm waiting for Zelenskyy to kneel at Bandera's grave once his remains are hauled back from Munich to Ukraine. By now, he's in full political freefall and seems willing to sacrifice the support of Ukraine's Western partners just to please the Azov boys.

@d_foubert Nobody elects/appoint a leader based on school history.

What humiliates me makes me stronger. History’s most terrifying dictators almost always began their public lives as the guy who gets rejected at the high school prom. Before they were statues of cold bronze and subjects of hushed, terrified whispers, they were supreme, uncontested jokes. Take Benito Mussolini, who before becoming the solemn, jaw-jutting Caesar of Fascism, was a vagrant kicked out of Switzerland for sleeping under bridges and refusing to get a real job. He was a man so thoroughly desperate for intellectual validation that he penned a trashy, sensationalist historical romance novel called The Cardinal’s Mistress, which read like a sixteenth-century soap opera written by a deeply repressed teenager. Or consider Adolf Hitler, a failed postcard painter. To the sophisticated elite of Weimar Germany, he was not the harbinger of the apocalypse; he was just a loud, irritating man with a terrible haircut and a mustache that looked like a tragic shaving accident. The transition from national laughingstock to absolute sovereign is fueled by a very specific, volatile kind of propellant: the radioactive spite of the humiliated. When a nation mocks a man's grandiosity, it does not cure him of his delusions; it merely forces him to upgrade them. The moment the clown acquires the keys to the armory, the comedy show does not end—it simply becomes mandatory. Suddenly, the tyrant's terrible jokes aren't just funny; they are legally required to be hilarious. If the Supreme Leader tells a pun, you do not just snicker; you weep with hysterical joy, knowing that the alternative is a one-way ticket to a labor camp where the only comedy is the irony of your situation. Perhaps the real lesson of history is that we should be far more careful about whom we choose to mock. The next time you see a bizarrely dressed man ranting on a street corner about his cosmic destiny, or a strange fellow with a terrible art portfolio and an ax to grind, do not laugh. Buy his watercolor. Compliment his questionable facial hair. Tell him his self-published romance novel has exquisite character development. Don't be a jerk. Don't irritate a weird but relatively smart guy for no reason. A small, polite lie today might just save your grandchildren from having to learn a seventy-four-verse national anthem dedicated entirely to his glorious left nostril.

@Linu74661 @d_foubert Yeah, Baltimore, Philly, New York might disagree, it's people's will.

@d_foubert Pic 2 looks so much more lively and happy than pic 1. Moral of the story: capitalism makes everyone optimistic

20 years from post-soviet crap, crazy levels of crime, corruption, etc. to a high trust-modern society. All it takes is getting rid of Russian socialism, and keeping Western European socialism out. Thanks for the funds redirected to your companies as profits, France & DE.

@socialdemrejoin @visegrad24 They are going to beat the sheet out of British f@ggxt LQBT soldiers.

@visegrad24 More Russian BDSM practice for the heroes of the SVO!

Russian commanders keep "training" conscripts at the front. The commander hung a Russian soldier upside down from a tree and beat him for disobeying an order to participate in a “meat assault” that would mean certain death. The beatings will continue until morale improves

@jamesSteve39812 @Mylovanov Along with British ret@₹ded idiots and French stupid leadership.

@Mylovanov Brussels seized a Russian gas tanker, planted explosives on it while it was moored, and released it. Thank God, Russian security services detected and prevented the terrorist attack. EU's swampy, petty soul has been exposed. Dirty, murky thoughts, down to the bone, do occur in EU

Kallas: We can’t be mediators because we are defending the interests of Europe and Ukraine. We can’t be neutral and treat both sides equally. We have been clearly on Ukraine’s side.

@thetect0nic @michaeldweiss This attack has already been avenged and the US establishment was more concerned about this than happy.

@michaeldweiss x.com/thetect0nic/st… One year. $7 billion in damage. 41 aircraft hit. Russia's "Pearl Harbor." The architects of Spiderweb are still operating. Threaded the operation below:🧵⬇️

Ukraine's fortunes are markedly improving on the battlefield, as Kyiv now kills more Russians per month than Russia recruits. So Moscow has threatened to expand its war in Europe, even as it struggles to win the one it started. The result is panic, hype and alarmism. Never mind that Russia has already been attacking Europe for a decade and a half, with impunity, all while Europe pretended no state of conflict existed. A few thoughts from me on the trap the West falls into during these periods of provocation. And a preview on how the GRU is adapting its tradecraft for a new phase in Russian state terrorism. Recruiting amateurs and gig saboteurs remotely is old hat. Now they're talent-spotting foreigners -- particularly in Latin America and Africa -- for recruitment and training inside Russia, luring them under the cover of soft power initiatives and university scholarships. Foreigners with combat experience in Ukraine are also obvious targets for recruitment. "Wet work" is being internationalized again, as it was the twenties and thirties. And a new generation of Ramón Mercaders is coming. That prospect, more than "little green men" in Narva, is what should worry the West the most.

@michaeldweiss Source of information: Trust me bro.

@HukaGigachad This is a lot of crap, Iven American systems aren't this integrated, most of the EW and imaging systems aren't even Ukrainian but western

The biggest takeaway from the CNN footage isn't the map, the drones, or the graphics. It's that Ukraine appears to be building a battlefield operating system where every sensor, every strike, and every mission contributes to a constantly evolving operational picture.

CNN just provided one of the clearest looks yet at Ukraine's PRISMA battlefield platform. Developed by Ukraine with reported support from Palantir. The most interesting part is the architecture behind it. Thread 🧵

@WarDroneXX @RALee85 These are old refineries, Russia can reconstruct in a secure way because it is not a bureaucratic ret@₹ded like Europeans.

@RALee85 The aim is to make the war even more costly for Russia. The military will feel the impact later; initially, it will affect civilian sectors such as commercial flights within Russia. x.com/WarDroneXX/sta…

“Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries set a record in May, threatening to further hurt processing that’s at a 16-year low and risking domestic fuel shortages just as summer holiday demand picks up. Ukraine carried out at least 16 attacks on Russia’s fuel-producing facilities in May, according to a Bloomberg tally of public statements from both countries. Drones targeted eight of Russia’s 10 biggest refineries last month, the data show… Ukraine’s attacks mark a shift in strategy from previous years. It’s now not only targeting primary refining units — which have been relatively easy and quick to repair — but also secondary units, including high-value and technically complex ones” bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@AlexStLeger Moldova was once the poorest country in Europe, but the West was able to snatch that title from Moldova and give it to Ukraine, the only significant contribution of the West to Ukraine. We can understand your hatred for Moscow, but stop giving this propagandised opinion to others

You almost have to pity her. The Potemkin tour has always worked best on the people most certain they’re too clever for it. Sadly, there’s a century-long museum exhibit of Westerners — from Henry Wallace to Walter Duranty to George Bernard Shaw — who came home certain they’d seen the *real* Russia.

@Oct7NeverForget Ukrainian lies, they don't even have men to fight this war, let alone a brigade to attack which can be easily targeted.

Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian defensive lines in the Zaporizhzhia sector with a powerful and coordinated assault. What Russian troops spent months building—multiple trench lines, minefields, and reinforced concrete fortifications—has reportedly been breached. The Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to exploit the breakthrough. Assault units, supported by artillery, drones, and aviation, are advancing methodically. In some areas, Russian forces have reportedly been unable to organize an effective defense and have retreated, leaving behind equipment and ammunition. If sustained, this could mark the beginning of a significant advance in southern Ukraine.

@GabeZZOZZ Most surprising is that the Polish are more anti-Ukronazis than anti-Russian, they're aware of the political hatred instilled by repeated lies.

The anti-Ukraine sentiment on X has grown significantly recently, and it’s beautiful to see. People are finally waking up.

@stgert @WW3finalboss Now go suck the zelensky and budanov ducks

@WW3finalboss Kudos and respect for Ukraine and Budanov 🇺🇦🙏💪✈️🫡

🇺🇦🇷🇺 BUDANOV SAYS RUSSIA IS STARTING TO FEEL THE WAR IT STARTED "Russia started this war. Now it feels it. Every strike reminds Russia that distance no longer protects it. We can reach many places inside Russia. And we will continue to do so. Soon there will be problems, very serious problems, on Russian territory.” - Kyrylo Budanov 🇺🇦 That is the new reality Moscow hates admitting: the war is no longer something Russia can export and watch from a distance. Putin brought terror to Ukrainian cities for years. Now Ukraine is proving that the infrastructure behind that terror has addresses too, and those addresses are becoming reachable.

@mmigalski Love this. Poland supports Ukraine. Ukraine upholds the slaughterer of the Poles.

Jedna głupia symboliczna decyzja Zeleńskiego nie może zmienić naszego wsparcia dla Ukrainy, walczącej z naszym największymwrogiem. Po raz kolejny słowa są dla Polaków ważniejsze, niż ich interesy. Zagrożeniem dla RP jest Rosja, a nie popełniająca błędy Ukraina. Stop eskalacji.

@mmigalski You made Russia an enemy of the West unnecessarily.

@MykhailoRohoza Dx@th to filthy zelensky

Do you support Zelensky? 🇺🇦❤️‍🔥🧐💪 Yes or No? buymeacoffee.com/OlenaRohoza

@dannyle70216267 @IAPonomarenko Please try and Ukraine will vanish the next day.

Happy Russian Strategic Bomber Go Fuck Yourself Day! A year ago on this day, we all had the privilege of observing the Spiderweb — one of the greatest covert operations of all time. And this was just one of countless examples of the extraordinary heroism and ingenuity Ukrainians have displayed in this war against a vastly superior military superpower, in order to save their country from destruction.
