The ‘Anthropological Change’ Happening in Venezuela Maduro is still in place, but a pro-democracy movement is transforming the beleaguered country.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am not fearful — I am fearless.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

"Side by Side" — Protests continue. Day 316.

Suspected terror cell said to be planning attack on Belgian PM broken Local media reported that investigators discovered a homemade explosive which the suspects were reportedly planning to attach to a drone to carry out the attack.

Why isn't this news getting more attention? An attack was being planned on the Prime Minister of a European country!

A suspected terrorist cell was dismantled by Belgium's federal prosecutor's office on Thursday, believed to have been planning an attack on Prime Minister Bart De Wever.

Winter On Fire. Ukraine's Fight For Freedom ( 2015) Web DLRip 720p : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive -

Russia invaded Ukraine as an imperialist war of conquest, with the intent to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign nation, its people, culture, language, and history. It's a textbook genocide.

You should watch the film Winter On Fire:

Revolution of Dignity - Wikipedia

Nonsense. The Ukrainian people wants to be free from hundreds of years of Russian oppression, that's all this is about. It's extremely insulting of you to deny the Ukrainian people any agency in their own fate.

Photo of a young woman with long blonde hair and a sad facial expression. She has a Ukrainian flag wrapped around her shoulders and is holding a protest sign that says "RUZZIA CAN STOP THE WAR ANYTIME BY LEAVING UKRAINIAN LAND". The word "RUZZIA" has been stylized with red blood dripping from the letters.

That graph excludes European contributions through the EU though, which is unfair since it's substantial.

I made this graph a while back that takes that into account:

A bar chart of quarterly aid allocations from the U.S. and Europe to Ukraine from 2022 to 2025. The U.S. aid goes to almost zero in Q1 2025, and literally zero in Q2 2025. Trump hasn't approved any new aid to Ukraine at all in the first half of 2025.

How about approving some new U.S. aid NOW instead of blabbering about maybe selling some U.S. wunderwaffe in the future?

This is a better summary of that history:

Best 3 minutes you will spend on the internet today.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Russia invaded Ukraine as an imperialist war of conquest, with the intent to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign nation, its people, culture, language, and history. It's a textbook genocide.

Their top political leaders say so publicly, as does their state media and propagandists.

Russian law forbids conscripts to serve abroad, including in Ukraine. They must sign a contract to do so.

Granted, a few are coerced and the bonuses to sign up are huge, but generally, Russian soldiers in Ukraine have volunteered for it.

"Advancing" isn't important in a war of attrition, it's all about maximizing enemy losses while preserving your own resources. This is Ukraine's strategy, retreating from positions that are no longer viable to defend, to preserve personnel & equipment.

Russia will be defeated, it's inevitable.

Russia's losses in Ukraine, from February 24 2022 to October 8 2025: Personnel — 1118370 (KIA+WIA) Tanks — 11240 Armored fighting vehicle — 23324 Artillery systems — 33519 MLRS — 1517 Anti-aircraft warfare — 1225 Planes — 427 Helicopters — 346 UAV — 67965 Cruise missiles — 3841 Ships (boats) — 28 Submarines — 1 Cars and cisterns — 63650 Special equipment — 3973 SOURCE: https://bsky.app/profile/euromaidanpress.bsky.social/post/3m2o53viote2h

"Advancing" but at what cost?

On Apr 3 2022, Russia occupied 18.35% of Ukraine, on Oct 7 2025 it had advanced 0.7% to 19.05%. (Source: deepstatemap.live)

For that measly +0.7% Russia lost >1.1 million KIA+WIA, tens of thousands each of tanks, IFVs, artillery. A bankrupt economy + fuel shortages.

I see from CNN that Canada’s economy is in “crisis”.

A word of unsolicited advice to everyone: don’t believe a single word any US media says about Canada. None. They don’t know shit about us and they don’t care.

It’s in the US’ interest to describe us as being in crisis. Not ours.

Russia invaded Ukraine as an imperialist war of conquest, with the intent to destroy Ukraine as a sovereign nation, its people, culture, language, and history. It's a textbook genocide.

But they ARE discussing ALL the topics you mentioned. It's not a problem that some of them discuss the marketing rules for the word "sausage" at the same time. You seem to have a poor understanding how the EU works tbh. Your post is just dumb.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

As I said, I think it's harmful to Ukraine and its supporters to spread false claims - it damages our credibility and makes it harder to understand what actually happens.

I'll be the first to applaud Ukraine when they actually launch FP-5 strikes inside Russia.

I'm not against Ukraine using Flamingos, please don't resort to Ad Hominem.

I'm not denigrating Ukraine in any way. I'm just saying there's no evidence for the title of this AI video that OP posted. The AI that made it seems to have to misunderstood an article it "read".

No, it's not. Ukraine has other missiles (various models of the Neptune missile) that have been used inside Russia.

Yes, but circumstantial evidence is just that, circumstantial, it doesn't actually *prove* anything. And *saying* something has happened doesn't qualify as circumstantial evidence.

Anyway, you're free to believe whatever you want about FP-5 strikes inside Russia, even if there's no evidence of it.
