Andy Robinson

@UkrReview Errr...he's trying to buy off Cubans with just $10 each?

🇺🇸🇨🇺 Rubio offers decommunization and $100 million for Cuba, but puts forward one condition. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as a native of Cuba, recorded a special address in Spanish. He called the main enemy of the Cubans the GAESA organization, which owns $18 billion in assets and is closely linked to the island's communist government. Rubio said that the US is offering $100 million in aid, including food and medicine. But there is a condition: the government or GAESA will not receive the money. The food is planned to be distributed through the Catholic Church and charitable groups. This ensures that the goods will not be resold in state stores. Rubio also believes that it is time to decommunize Cuba so that every citizen of the country can own a private business and make a profit.

@jurgen_nauditt Sarajevo should be in the silver medal position with 1425

The "epic battle" for the tiny village of Mala Tokmachka has already gone down in the annals of world military history. The attempts by the utterly incompetent Russian army to capture this village—solely in terms of their duration—have already surpassed the Battle of Gibraltar, the legendary Siege of Carthage, and the Blockade of Leningrad. Before the war, Mala Tokmachka was home to approximately 3,000 people. Putin is the biggest idiot and loser of all time.

@SamaHoole If the same amount of US land was grass fed cows on it, like in UK, all would be good. But aren't, many are intensively farmed on very unnatural feedlots

Activist: "American cattle ranching is destroying the Great Plains." Rancher: "How many bison were here in 1800?" Activist: "A lot." Rancher: "Sixty million. Same biomass as every cow in America today. Standing on the same grass." Activist: "That was different." Rancher: "How?" Activist: "It was natural." Rancher: "It was ruminants. Eating grass. Trampling it. Dunging it. The grassland built six feet of topsoil underneath them." Activist: "Then we shouldn't have killed them." Rancher: "Correct. We killed them, ploughed the prairie, and got the Dust Bowl in thirty years. Largest ecological collapse in American history." Activist: "..." Rancher: "The fix wasn't fewer animals. The fix was putting them back. The grass evolved to be eaten." Activist: "So reintroduce bison." Rancher: "Or use the 1,200-pound ruminant that's already here, in the same numbers, doing the same job, on the same grass." Activist: "It's not the same." Rancher: "It's the same animal with a different accent." Activist: "It still feels wrong." Rancher: "The thing that felt wrong was killing the bison. The cattle are how we're paying it back. Take them off and you finish the job we started in 1870."

@DrewPavlou Wot, like JD Vance flying in to rescue Orban's campaign?

It would actually be good if the US condemned the stupid anti-democratic policies of our own government

@wretchardthecat If they export 1/3 of the world's uranium, why doesn't Australia have any nuclear power plants?

Why is Australia getting its fuel from Singapore? "How could Australia be suffering a double energy crisis when the nation exports several times more energy than it consumes and far more than the United States, which has no energy crisis? Looking to the U.S., what needs to be done to ensure Australia’s energy security? Australia has had a decade of warnings of a possible energy crisis, so one might have expected Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, in his three-minute-17-second address to the nation on April 1, to report on Australia’s serious lack of oil and fertiliser security; our soaring electricity prices destroying the nation’s manufacturing and other businesses; the nation’s poor resilience capabilities in the face of external threats; and our miserable lack of any defence muscle." newsweekly.com.au/newsweekly/cov…

@MykhailoRohoza It would be great if Russia enforced their constitution.

TRUMP SAID YESTERDAY THAT (quote follows): “THE RUSSIAN CONSTITUTION IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE AMERICAN ONE. Putin told me he never has any problems with his constitution.” — THAT’S A QUOTE, DAMN IT! “Russia has much better constitution writers than we do,” he said. “I talked to Putin, and he said their constitution never gives him problems.”

@mariolopezviva Which part of this was grounds for arrest? Good throwing arm?

Can’t a girl have hobbies?

@JoJoFromJerz In the UK we quite like Kings. It's been a few hundred years since one of them made any trouble. Would be fun to know who could kick off a US royal family, and end this President-with-lots-of-power stuff, which, let's face it, is not going well ;-)

@JPLindsley Excuse me for nitpicking, but Moldova isn't the Balkans. Some southerly bits of Romania might be. Of course, where the Balkans begin and end is a hotly debated topic - check out Slavoj Zizek for clarity... youtu.be/r_5Slnkzekc

Moscow’s Moldovan Spy Project A Politico investigation reveals that Russia is quietly building a transnational recruitment and training network centered on Moldova, using it as a testing ground for hybrid warfare tactics that could be deployed across Europe. Under the guise of paid “holiday trips,” recruits, often young Europeans, are lured with small sums of money and sent to training camps in the Balkans, where they learn drone operations, sabotage techniques, and how to provoke unrest while evading law enforcement. Moldovan authorities have already uncovered cases linking these recruits to planned destabilization efforts, from protests to acts of vandalism and potential attacks, all coordinated through intermediaries tied to Moscow. The broader implication is stark: what looks like fringe activity locally is in fact part of a scalable playbook for destabilizing European societies from within, allowing Russia to wage a deniable “shadow war” far beyond the battlefield in Ukraine. politico.eu/article/russia… get our daily updates: UnderFire.News

@DrewPavlou You forgot half of Albania. and Turkey. Just back from Egypt yesterday - saw quite a few ginger guys there.

Theory: the only white Muslims are Bosnians. Ginger Anglo reverts in England are actually POC.

@Microinteracti1 I'm off to Cairo next week. Not entirely sure from my research where a cruise ship can see the pyramids. You made me feel "briefly, pleasingly, intelligent" from pointing this out ;-)

@Dovydas44444 Switzerland has hydro in large amounts. Why would you try to catch the wind when you have water which is 1000x heavier, and equally green?

Note a certain correlation between countries who officially complain about the loss of import of Russian oil and gas on the one hand, and their lack of wind power capacity (or a share of renewals in the electricity generation basket, generally) on the other. Coincidence?

@WallStreetApes Nonsense. A day at Disney at list price is not that much more than a day's lift pass at a top European ski resort. With gear hire, it's similar. Business class return for a family of four is going to add $20,000

This is actually insane American booked a Disney World vacation for his family “I want to explain to you how insane these prices are” “A few weeks ago, I just flew my family, my entire family across the world for a ski vacation to Courchevel, France — the largest ski area in the world. Flew them across the world, got them new gear for snowboarding, private lessons. Stayed in five-star hotels, ate at amazing restaurants, 2 of them Michelin Star restaurants, all of that in France and Switzerland Half the price of taking my family to Disney World and Universal Studios for five days” “Really think about that for a second. You can take your family to Europe, fly business class, eat in Michelin star restaurants, five-star hotels for half the price than Disney World.”

@sternenko In that case Cyprus needs to be permanently banned from all sport, because their country's outline is on their flag.

The Ukrainian team has been banned from wearing uniforms featuring a map of Ukraine at the 2026 Paralympics. The IPC claims the map is "political." At the same time, the Russian team includes former military personnel who participated in the illegal invasion. Russians are allowed to compete under their own flag, while Ukrainians are forbidden from showing their own territory. Beyond Absurd...

@Maks_NAFO_FELLA Prety cool tech if it can see the oil flowing inside a pipe. I didn't know Hungary were so far ahead of the world

🇭🇺🙄 Hungary has satellite data showing the Druzhba oil pipeline is operational. Ukraine is blocking it for political reasons, — Orban.

@DrewPavlou Er, the invasion was about 30 years before Cyprus joined the EU. It took a while to work out a suitable bureaucratic fudge to admit them

Turkey shouldn’t even fucking be in NATO, they invaded Cyprus and still occupy the entire north despite Cyprus being an EU member.

@maria_drutska The UK has experts in shooting down drones? ;-)

“We will bring experts from Ukraine, together with our own experts, to help Gulf Partners shoot down Iranian drones attacking them.” - UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer

@lovelycuntme @kos_data Tačno

Bosnia and Herzegovina is celebrating Independence Day today, commemorating its 1992 vote to leave Yugoslavia. Say something nice about the country.

@kos_data Beautiful, friendly, people have an incredible sense of humour, delicious food - and hot women! (I married one)

@maria_drutska You have undergone so much suffering - and now this?!??

Newsmax Ukraine was officially presented in Kyiv. Among the guests were the Head of the Presidential Office, Budanov, the U.S. Chargé d’Affaires in Ukraine, Julie S. Davis, and others. The channel is expected to begin broadcasting this spring in Ukrainian, Russian, and English. Something tells me the launch of such a platform is not happening by coincidence. Your thoughts?
