Navalny is the hero we don't want or deserve

Some news, we have another Leopard post in the pipeline. We will also have a post on how copyright strikes make Youtube and Google complicit in genocide.

Dustin Du Cane @DustinDuCane

Russia blocked this. I will write a post about genocide and copyright. YouTube becomes complicit in genocide when copyright is used to stop the spread of information https://t.co/A1j8CzKGiH

Julia Davis @JuliaDavisNews

Russian state TV discussed the best strategies to be used against the U.S., which included their idea for killing scores of Americans. They named only one American they did not want to kill: Tucker Carlson. Watch: More in my latest article (linked below). https://t.co/KZGsqO0iZZ

Xmas COVID, day 30. A big thank you to all the kind words and encouragement from friends and followers. It has helped make me feel very much better.

Much worse than my broken (healing) arm.

And I got called a liar and some words for quoting a Holocaust professor’s comments on the subject of Medvedev - “Yep. He is not even a soldiers, just a mercenary”. Private discussion but I asked if I could quote the professor.

(Btw Medvedev’s lawyer of course did not reply to my questions).

Russia has the opposition it wants

Dustin Du Cane @DustinDuCane

Not a single word about Ukraine. Absolutely pathetic.

The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent

⚡️Reuters: US officials advise Ukraine to hold back on offensive until training for new weapons is complete. Ukraine should hold off on launching a major offensive against Russia until it receives new weapons and can operate them, according to an undisclosed senior official.

Hertling has a meltdown

MarkHertling @MarkHertling

Woke up this morning to find a thread from someone claiming I posted things that are "100% untrue" about the "M1." I hesitate to respond to @secretsqrl123 - especially since he posted an insulting tweet (violating my rule #1) - but providing tank insight is important to me. 1/20

david D. @secretsqrl123

i recently posted something about @MarkHertling after he posted things about the M1 tank. things that are 100% untrue. i may have been a little harsh about my reply to him. here is the simple truth, we are here to help ukr, not say things that may hurt them.
