@thegreengiant88 @prestonjbyrne exactly!

@bigdavetalks @prestonjbyrne 100% agree yes. So the masses get disadvantaged and it encourages more and more people to go underground, which is terrible law. We'll be making moonshine in our basements next!

The proposed "VPN ban" in the UK is very unlikely to work, because most VPN providers are not in the UK, including free VPN providers, and therefore are not obligated to obey UK law. Given their line of work they're also unlikely to obey such orders voluntarily.

I disagree. UK can target 99.9% of normal users effectively and relatively easily without technology. Is a simple policy matter. How: Post-2027 OSA app store rules → mandate KYC/logging on VPN apps; Ofcom forces Apple/Google to delist non-compliant ones. Result: Easy bypasses gone from stores → most comply with X ID/age registration. Tech minority still evades, but policy succeeds on defaults. I am not advocating this awful policy approach. It’s a terrible idea. But it’s very easy to implement and does not rely on propellor heads. We should be very afraid

Stuart raises a great point here. Policing VPN restrictions would be incredibly complex, and people will inevitably find ways around them. Attempting to restrict VPNs would be a deeply authoritarian move. Countries like China, Iran and Russia have all imposed significant restrictions on VPN use, Britain should be defending online freedoms, not moving in that direction. Freedom shouldn't require permission from the Government.

It’s seriously a lot easier than you might think to target 99.9% of normal users effectively. Post-2027 OSA app store rules → mandate KYC/logging on VPN apps; Ofcom forces Apple/Google to delist non-compliant ones. Easy bypasses gone from stores → most comply with X ID/age registration. Tech minority still evades, but policy succeeds on defaults.

@bigdavetalks @prestonjbyrne Indeed, it's terrifying. But it's also so unbelievably unenforceable, which gives me hope

@KingOffX_ @imgkurup1 The friend just goaded the USA into near disaster in Iran. Not what I would call a friend. Lucky for us we got trump and Vance taking out the trash.if you have the Epstein photos now’s the time to play that card though it’s all in if you do.

You can't afford to lose a true friend like Israel. The cost will be catastrophic.

This is gaslighting. They can introduce a new law with the stroke of a pen. That makes it illegal to use a VPN. Yes you can break the law and do it anyway but that lawlessness. And they will 💯 make an example out of a thousands to ram the point home. I don’t agree with this in fact I think it’s akin to the moustache man from 1940 but do not represent what politicians can do. They are pure evil.

People need to stop panicking about any proposed VPN ban in the UK. It's simply not technically feasible for them to pull it off without causing worldwide internet disruption. Hop aboard @mullvadnet. They are experts in the field.

@DNIGabbard @Artemisfornow Wow! So all the so called conspiracy theorists who got banned online were right. I remember back then and even now on YouTube it’s not allowed to discuss. What an absolute cover up smear job. Thanks Tulsi for releasing the facts.

Today, on my final day as Director of National Intelligence, I’m releasing never-before-seen communications and documents exposing how Dr. Fauci provided millions in US taxpayer dollars to fund dangerous gain-of-function research at the Wuhan lab, worked with politicized elements within the Intelligence Community to suppress the truth about his actions and hide the virus’ lab-leak origins, and lied to Congress while under oath in 2024. It’s time you know the truth. odni.gov/index.php/news…

@AMK_Mapping_ @FellaHrx69 Can we get a response from the Ukraine supporters please. Genuinely interested.

This kind of rhetoric is dangerous for Ukraine. "Anything I disagree with is Russian propaganda" Why have Russian oil and gas revenues for May 2026 increased by 32.4% compared to May 2025 if 80% of Russian oil refineries aren't operational? P.S. you'd be surprised how many actual Ukrainians don't like propaganda like this.

Never ask AMK how he’s pro Ukrainian despite actively providing shit information for pro-Russian “OSINTers”

@DennisSakva @AMK_Mapping_ how can russia be advancing. the news says they are being defeated. something is fishy.

As AMK doesn't want to piss off his precious vatnik subscribers I will explain the discrepancy. Russians are advancing. They can collect the instane number of their meat themselves on the occupied territories. I know this concept can be hard for vatniks to comprehend. Hope this helps.

An exchange of fallen soldiers between Russia and Ukraine is taking place right now. 522 Ukrainian bodies are being exchanged for 33 Russian bodies.

@RichardMarlesMP @grok how many solid gold toilets can you buy for $50 million? and how many cancer treaments in australia could $50 million cover? high brevity.

Australia remains steadfast in our support for Ukraine and we are pleased to be providing an additional $100 million in assistance to Ukraine for vital military equipment. We will make two additional $50 million contributions to the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL) over 2026-27. In partnership with NATO, Australia is supporting Ukraine to secure the critical military equipment and capabilities it needs to defend itself against Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked invasion.

@DanielLDavis1 yup agree with this. these images are being sent around the world and bring humiliation on all russians. UK elite may be slapping themselves on the back right now, but one thing ive learnt about the russians is they never forget and they always get their payback.

I know supporters of Ukraine will cheer this on, but these kinds of hits will no more knock Russia out of the war than the past three years of Russian strikes throughout Ukraine have not knocked them out of the war. HOWEVER… These big public strikes on important centers are more likely to spur Russia to EXPAND its war against Ukraine rather than cause them to contract. Thus, the perverse likely outcome: *successful* Ukrainian strikes into the heart of Russia will push Putin to hit Ukraine even harder, killing more UAF soldiers and destroying more of the country. What these strikes WON’T do is help Ukraine win the war.

@kajakallas Great EU foreign minister - keep up the good work!

Russia is not winning this war. And Ukraine is now stronger on the battlefield. Today, with EU leaders, we will discuss how to further increase pressure on the Kremlin and push it towards negotiations. The swift adoption of our 21st package of sanctions will be an important step in that direction. My press remarks ahead of today’s #EUCO meeting ↓

@AMK_Mapping_ well said - very balanced. thanks.

In October 2025, Ukraine launched 150 drones at Moscow Oblast in one day. Not a single drone was able to impact. Today, in June 2026, Ukraine launched hundreds of drones at Moscow, of which a minimum of 8 impacted (probably more). Russia's interception rate of Ukrainian long-range drones is still very high, probably over 90%, but Ukrainian drones are of much higher quality now, and the Ukrainian command has learned from past mistakes on how to successfully carry out these long-range strikes. I don't think Russia's air defence has gotten any worse. I would even argue it's improved because of their interceptor drone programme. One thing people forget to take into account is the fact that Russia is the largest country in the world, making it impossible to completely cover it with air defence. The fact is, Ukraine hast just gotten a lot better at drone warfare, and is continuing to improve their capabilities.

Great point - the US needs to show they have teeth or the deal falls apart. the impact on americans if Iran goes back to strikes on American bases will be brutal - all this going in to the midterms campaign. Trump will get hammered - he has no choice but to put his foot down, even if they have photos.

Iran just canceled Swiss talks over Israeli strikes in Lebanon, and JD Vance just scrapped his trip too How is this deal supposed to hold if the US can't contain Israel? A fragile deal is already on thin ice thehill.com/homenews/ap/ap…

@vonderleyen look at them laughing. its all so funny, hahaha. the hubris is really quite something.

The tide is clearly turning for Ukraine. The momentum is strong. And Europe will carry it even further ↓ twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@YevKopiika the strikes by Ukraine with support from the UK and Germany on Moscow are really quite something. it looks like a scene from WW2, right before the russians rolled into Berlin (before the americans).

‘Ukraine will fall in a few months’ crowd is awfully quiet

@DanJoergensen fair, thats the right of Europe to choose its suppliers and the price it pays for energy and access. Please do not complain if it negatively impacts the input costs of your businesses.

As of yesterday, Russian pipeline gas under existing short-term contracts is no longer allowed into the EU. One step at a time, we are phasing out all remaining imports of Russian gas from our system. The goal is clear: getting to zero. #REPowerEU

@MarioNawfal humiliating and backing russia into a corner like this is spectacularly dumb. a new level of dumb.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Possible Russian strike prep being flagged Russian strategic bomber activity is reportedly picking up over the western regions. The read from those tracking it: possible preparation for a fresh missile strike on Ukraine. Nothing's been launched and nothing's confirmed. This is early chatter, not a verified movement.

Russian economy has not collapsed. so much misinformation on x about this today. if you don't like Russia thats fine by me, but lets use facts to debate the situation now misinformation.

@Mirco49566155 @YouTube @grok has the Russian economy collapsed (high brevity)

Russia’s Economy Crumbles: No Gasoline for People? youtu.be/rDipXwrEjto?si… via @YouTube

@keithchandler44 @rshereme @grok has the Russian economy collapsed (high brevity)

@rshereme russia is collapsing. The russian economy is sinking like the russian navy. Now russia has to sell a little crude oil at a discount and buy gasoline at a premium. There will also be massive crop failure this year. Putin needs to prioritize the needs of the people.

Ukraine continues to impose fiery sanctions on russia. Today, the Moscow Oil Refinery was hit for the second time in a week. The Moscow Oil Refinery is a key facility in russia’s oil refining industry, with a processing capacity of up to 11 million tons of oil per year. The plant supplies up to 40% of Moscow’s gasoline needs and about 50% of its diesel fuel. As a result of systematic Ukrainian strikes, russia’s oil production has fallen to a yearly low, while gasoline output has dropped to its lowest level in 16 years. Also, for the first time in history, russia has been forced to import fuel from abroad. Read that twice. Russia - the world’s second-largest oil exporter - is now buying refined gasoline from Asia because it can no longer reliably produce enough of its own.
