The clip that starts at 1:13, with the settler filming from his balcony, seeing a missile hit a couple of kilometers away, then stumbling back into his apartment, pulling back past his telescope, past his enormous TV and into a wide shot of his very nicely furnished apartment...

Firstly, it's fucking sickening to see the luxury that these colonizers are living in next to the destitution of Gaza, even before it had been bombed completely to rubble. And out of his window is an entire street of high-rises presumably packed with apartments just like this one, every one of them occupied (in every sense of the word) with settler colonists here to live like lords on the back of Palestinian misery.

And secondly, this guy is going the fuck home. He's here to live an opulent, carefree life, paid for by limitless free capital forged from the sweat and blood of the colonized, or else as a PMC holocaust technician inventing new and ingenious technologies of terror and oppression for the US Empire - being able to see missile impacts from your own front window suddenly changes that equation, by a lot. And every single person in every single luxurious apartment of those tall, tall tower blocks is doing the exact same math as him, right this very second.

They shot him in the ear!!! agony-mescaline The thinnest, flimiest piece of tissue on the entire human body!

He's the least shot anyone could possibly be while still objectively having had a bullet pass through them!!

It's like a divine comedy. God is playing jokes on us.

Here's our new propagana hero, "traitorous piece of shit"! He's a literal shit with angry eyes who's always plotting and scheming against his neighbours and countrymen.

Do your part, be a traitorous piece of shit today! freedom-and-democracy

Navalny was the West's chosen comprador, in the vanishingly unlikely event a Western coup was pulled off and he was installed to power he would have enthusiastically opened Russia's veins the way Yeltsin did. And if that caused conditions to fall back to the level they were at in the 90s, he would have been responsible for literally millions of premature deaths, as well as completely destroying a crucial actor in the emerging multipolar world. All of this on top of his FAR more vocal hatred for (and calls to exterminate) minorities. Putin is a cold-blooded bureaucrat, he doesn't deal in inflammatory racist rhetoric because it's destabilizing.

Germany's exports to Kyrgyzstan are up 1200% since before Russia invaded Ukraine. This stuff is obviously going to Russia. Across the EU, this is a wide-spread problem. Polish exports are up 1800%, Czech 1200%, Italy 870%, Austria 340% and Spain 140%. Putin obviously loves this.

Life, uh, finds a way

I love too that they literally just, correctly identified the imperial hierarchy*. Like yeah, that's the order they're gonna have to be taken out in. They know their Empire perfectly.

(*plus Italy for some reason??)

If you want to know what the smartest guy in the US military thinks, read this

(Assuming, of course, that you don't consider the Marine Corps Gazette to be Russian propaganda)


Ukraine is on its fourth army, which has been badly mauled in a counterattack lasting two months with gains measured in single digit miles and casualties in the tens of thousands.


This is who they were sending to the front in APRIL LAST YEAR

Old men and boys


But at least Russia's out of missiles!
