Today is my grandma’s 80th Birthday. She has to be the luckiest woman in #Ukraine as she shares her birthday with the day that the UA Orthodox Church officially becomes independent from #Russia after 333 years! Best Birthday Present EVER! #TomosForUkraine

Let's make some things very clear: 1 - Don't let any asshole gaslight you into thinking that opposing the reprehensible repression of the protests two months ago makes you in any way responsible for what Trump & Netenyahu are doing right now. The Islamic Republic is responsible for decades of mismanagement and oppression. They should be called out. 47 years of foreign policy adventurism and bad decisions led to this point. That's undeniable. And left Iran in a position where is currently has no choice but to engage in extremely high risk, high consequence options. It was not inevitable we reach this point. But years of wrong decisionmaking led to this path. You don't have to become an apologist for state repression and a bootlicker for naked tyranny. That's not a moral stance. 2 - Don't let other assholes gaslight you into thinking that opposing Trump & Netenyahu dropping thousands of the most powerful bombs on earth on civilian areas means you somehow support the Islamic Republic. The people that do this are masters of emotional manipulation, trying to say if you are against foreign bombs indiscriminately killing Iranians that somehow means you're saving the Islamic Republic. Fuck that. These people know they have no argument and have to come up with more and more bizarre analogies and scenarios to justify what cannot be justified (which the first group does too). And beyond this: Ali Khamenei was not the voice of the Iranian people. Reza Pahlavi is not the voice of the Iranian people. Support whoever you want to support but enough of this idol worship. No politician is the voice of the Iranian people. And their supporters are not "real Iranians" while everyone else is "mozdoors/vatanforooshes". I don't owe any loyalty or allegiance to any politician or system. No matter who comes out of this disaster on top - Mojtaba Khamenei, Larijani, Rouhani, Reza Pahlavi (and yes, I still do think he has a chance), or whoever ... They should get held to the same standards. And treated with suspicion and caution. No politician is sacred. Your principles should apply independent of whether the person wears a tie, crown, or turban.

‼️Statement on the Orbán Government Accusing Me, an Investigative Journalist, of Espionage‼️ Today, the Hungarian government has filed a complaint against me for espionage. Accusing investigative journalists of espionage is virtually unprecedented in the 21st century for an EU member state. This is typical of Putin’s Russia, Belarus, and similar regimes. I have spent over a decade documenting how Russian spies and interests have penetrated Hungarian politics, so I am probably the least surprised by this. Despite growing signs that the Hungarian government acts as a Kremlin ally and copies the Russian model, I still trust that parts of the Hungarian state—and the judiciary—follow the Hungarian constitution, not that of the Russian Federation. I have never engaged in espionage. I see my work as journalistic counterintelligence—from exposing the hacking of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry by Russian actors to revealing the activities of Hungarian pro-Kremlin propagandists. Defending myself publicly would be easier if I were not bound by source protection. But that remains my top priority. I cannot reveal who provides me information or what I receive, including from within Hungarian state structures. If I were not a journalist, I could list many facts proving it is impossible for the Hungarian state to genuinely believe I am spying. Certain meetings, contacts, and information gathering could never have happened otherwise. This baseless accusation now forces me to share details of a specific investigation, including a conversation with a confidential source that appears to have been wiretapped. Normally, this would appear in a finished article or my upcoming book—not here. (It will appear there as well.) Since 2023, I have investigated whether the relationship between Péter Szijjártó and Russian officials exceeds legal limits. The published audio, where I’m heard talking to a source, mentions that communication between Szijjártó and Sergey Lavrov is recorded by EU intelligence services. Less attention has gone to my point that this relationship raises strong suspicion of political intelligence activity and influence operations in Russia’s interest. These are serious claims and hard to prove. As a journalist, I cannot force anyone to speak or hand over documents. That is why gathering this information has taken so long—and why I spoke to that sensitive source (while the conversation was secretly recorded). Serious claims require serious evidence, and I believe I have gathered some. I have not engaged in espionage. I have not cooperated with any foreign intelligence service in surveilling Szijjártó. Instead, I tried to verify earlier fragments of information about Szijjártó–Lavrov communication. I sought to identify the channels and phone numbers used, and whether a secret channel—possibly used by Russian intelligence—exists. In other words, whether Szijjártó uses a hidden device or number unknown even within the Hungarian Foreign Ministry. This was only one part of my research. The other, more serious topic is this: Since at least 2016–2017, EU and NATO intelligence services have had indications that large amounts of cash and precious stones may have been transported from Russia on Hungarian government aircraft or private jets used by government figures. Officials from at least six countries made such claims to me. These signals did not come from monitoring Hungarian targets, but, for example, from intercepting Russian officials discussing or preparing such shipments. Alongside Szijjártó–Lavrov communication, I examined how baggage screening and handling works on such flights, which officials travel with what luggage, whether more packages arrive from Moscow than depart, and how such shipments could be handled discreetly. I know how serious this is, and I would not have written even this much—but since I do not know what else may be taken from the edited recording, or what fabricated accusations (like, for example, that I was seeking such details to commit terrorism) may follow, I believe I must share this now. Why do I investigate all this? According to many sources familiar with the Hungarian state and counterintelligence, there is no independent body in the Orbán system able to investigate or act if a senior official is suspected of espionage. Government members direct intelligence services and set expectations. The services lack both tools and authority to investigate a government member. I knew this would be difficult when I chose to pursue it. But few people in Hungary can or dare to do this, so I felt it was my duty. We have now reached the point where the Orbán government—of which Szijjártó is still a member—aware of my reporting plans and the risk they pose, has preemptively accused me of espionage. I am a Hungarian patriot. I serve the public. As an investigative journalist, my job is to hold power accountable. Neither political theater nor legal threats will deter me.

Big thanks goes to you today, fellas!

Just want to give a shout-out to my @tochnyi colleague @deaidua, who does great work. Focused on just the facts of German aid to Ukraine. It would be useful if such projects existed for other countries, but sadly, despite a few people attempting it, none have succeeded in providing high quality, useful information. GAU isn't a propagandist for Germany or German companies. He's there to document actual aid being delivered. Not grandiose speeches by politicians or vague statements from industry.

Ideally hardened structures over every platform. Next best is even temporary overhead cover followed by cheap nets. After four years watching Russian planes get destroyed on the runway, no excuse for our aircraft to be this vulnerable anywhere.

Iranian forces appear to have damaged or destroyed multiple USAF KC-135 tankers parked in the open at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia.

“We just told Zelensky the guarantees won't kick in until he does what russia wants.” This is the Secretary of State of the United States telling the victim of aggression that it must do what the aggressor wants. Never forget. Vote them all out.

@RepVanOrden @pilliraamo Did you discuss their murder of civilians and kidnapping children? You’re a sick man

Trump: “US always rescues Britain.” 457 Brits died in Afghanistan. 179 in Iraq. British forces are still there today. He dodged the draft. We buried our dead. Don’t lecture us on sacrifice.

“Switchblades” have proven to be next to useless in real world combat conditions in Ukraine when faced with even basic Russian electronic warfare.

Ukraine offers to help the U.S. and her allies in repelling Iranian drone strikes in Middle East whilst America responds by threatening to cut off life-saving air defence interceptors NATO allies PURCHASED from America for Ukraine.

There have been stupider wars, but there has never been a war launched by stupider people.

This claim that Ukraine are firing drones through Poland and the Baltics to avoid Russian airspace is nothing more than delusional cope. It took me 10 minutes to find Russian Telegram channels reporting launches from Chernihiv followed by alerts in Bryansk, Smolensk, Pskov and Leningrad Oblasts. The claim that they just "appear" in Leningrad is provably false. Image attached shows the rough path the drones would take to go through these Oblasts.

@AMK_Mapping_ Are you simple?

@AMK_Mapping_ "Drones magically appearing near the Latvian border" Utter nonsense. x.com/KyleJGlen/stat…

According to the Wall Street Journal these American warplanes were struck by Iranian drones. It turns out the U.S. could have used some Ukrainian help after all...
