Telegram's Durov alludes to the fact that pro-Russian channels will not be available in Ukraine. Strange coincidence with the new mobilization drive in country 404.

UK Defense Sec Grant Shapps talks about his biggest package.... Grant, I'm not interested in that way. And when you speak, my ears bleed!!

Massive protests erupt in Argentina, against newly elected President Miley's education reform. The education system in Argentina is considered one of the best in Latin America. The public universities used to be free of charge. However, Milei says these are bastions of socialism in which students are indoctrinated. His government cut the budget of public universities by 71 per cent, stranding thousands of students mid-degree.

Chaos at the Ukrainian Consulate in Warsaw, Poland. Zelensky's new mobilization law requires all men of military age register with the military - or be denied consular/immigration services. Effectively stranding their own people abroad without the necessary documents.

Russia's Deputy Minister of Defense (!) Timur Ivanov is arrested. Ivanov is accused of accepting a particularly large bribe from a contactor to the Ministry of Defense. It's imperative tenders are won on merit & value only, which translates to success by the guys on the frontline. Highly inappropriate conduct for someone in such a high government role.

EU officially steals 260bn of Russian assets. But not the assets themselves - its the revenue earned on the assets (3bn annually.) Somehow that's less illegal, in Borrell's garden. 🙈 Tiny violin plays got thr Western financial hegemony, as other states will begin to pull their money out.

BREAKING The US Senate has adopted a package of bills on assistance to Ukraine and confiscation of assets of the Russian Federation via a procedural vote! To those still cosplaying democracy: Washington is not reformable via electoralism. You can’t negotiate with terrorists.

Elon Musk in the crosshairs of the Australian government. 🇦🇺 Australian MP Tanya Plibersek says she must protect Australians from the harmful impact of social media. MP Jacqui Lambie says Elon Musk should be JAILED for upholding free speech principles. Where do they find em?

👆 It seems overdue to say this in 2024 - the purpose of mainstream media is to manufacture public consent for government objectives. The story about media being the 4th estate (after legislative, executive, judicial separation of powers in a democract) is a story for losers, frankly.
