Ukrainian military intelligence estimated Kamaz made 15,000 trucks from Feb 2022 to early 2026.
Call that period 49 months, and that's a Truck production rate of 300 a month.
100 trucks killed in a couple of months is "normal wastage."

Chronic stress physically reshapes your brain causing memory loss, weight gain, and accelerated aging.
Here's how to reverse it:
1. The damage isn't permanent
Your brain has a remarkable ability to rewire itself called: neuroplasticity.
Even after years of chronic stress, the hippocampus can regrow.
Cortisol-related weight gain can reverse and cellular aging can slow.

Here are 7 prompts to access it: 👇
Prompt 1: The Hero Identifier
Prompt:
"I run [describe your business in one sentence].
My ideal customer is [describe them: role, situation, daily reality].
Using StoryBrand's Character principle, identify the ONE dominant desire my customer has that my product connects to.
Not a list of wants. One survival-level desire that drives their buying decision.
Then write a single opening line for my website that positions the customer as the hero pursuing that desire. No cleverness. No brand name in the headline. Just the desire, stated plainly."

Prompt 2: The Three-Layer Problem Mapper
Prompt:
"Using the brand context from my previous message, apply StoryBrand's Problem framework.
Every customer problem has three layers:
→ External Problem: the tangible surface-level issue they can name out loud
→ Internal Problem: the frustration, self-doubt, or emotional struggle underneath
→ Philosophical Problem: the "it shouldn't be this way" injustice they feel
Map all three layers for my customer.
Then write three short taglines (one per layer) that I could test as subheadlines on my homepage. The internal one should sting a little. The philosophical one should feel like a rallying cry."

@adam_louis52328 To encompass today’s anti-Israel Jewish progressives who actively join pro-Palestinian protests, the framework must be expanded. This group represents a highly active, modernized evolution of the Assimilator impulse, characterized by three distinct dynamics:
@adam_louis52328 1. Unlike historical assimilators, modern progressive anti-Zionists loudly assert their Jewish identity ("As a Jew..."). They use their heritage as an active political shield to validate anti-Israel movements and insulate those movements from accusations of antisemitism.
@adam_louis52328 They internalize an outside political orthodoxy (intersectional progressivism) & reframe it as a "core Jewish value" or "moral imperative." They argue that standing for Palestine is the fulfillment of Jewish ethics, subordinating Jewish national survival to a universalist cause.
1/ Russia's statistical agency Rosstat has recently highlighted Russia's dire demographic situation, which has become far worse due to its war losses. Komsomolskaya Pravda war correspondent Grigory Kubatyan suggests nuking Ukraine as a solution. ⬇️
2/ The slumping birth rate has recently been the subject of Rosstat data and has produced alarmed commentary from Russian commentators (see thread below). The war's human losses have also become so huge that they can no longer be ignored.
3/ While Russia has declined to release casualty figures, Western and Ukrainian sources have consistently estimated between 1-1.2 million Russian casualties (with estimates of around 500,000-600,000 Ukrainian casualties). Russian warbloggers seem increasingly to accept this.

🚨 A 69-year-old woman was violently beaten while doing a solo protest on a Texas overpass.
Patty Anderson was holding a banner protest on the Loop 336 overpass over I-45 in Montgomery County when she was allegedly approached and brutally beaten.
She suffered a broken nose and concussion. A nearby police officer stepped in and is credited with possibly saving her life.
The suspect has been identified as Christina Michelle Hiller.

This wasn’t a clash between opposing protest groups.
Anderson was reportedly protesting alone when she was attacked without provocation. The assault left her with facial fractures and a concussion.
What stands out is how quickly a peaceful, solo act of protest turned violent and how important the officer’s quick intervention was in this case.

What stands out is how quickly a peaceful, solo act of protest turned violent and how important the officer’s quick intervention was in this case.
This incident raises some serious questions:
• How vulnerable are people who protest alone in public spaces?
• What leads someone to physically attack a 69-year-old woman simply for holding a banner?
• And are these kinds of unprovoked attacks becoming more common?
Peaceful protest should not come with the risk of being beaten.

🧵 Medea Benjamin of Code Pink is reportedly on the subpoena list over the Nuestra América Cuba convoy, and honestly, I would love to know the finances behind what she says here.
In one clip, she says you can’t blame the Cuban government until the “blockade” is lifted, encourages Americans to travel to Cuba and spend money, praises Cuba’s China-backed solar buildout, directs donations to Global Health Partners, Code Pink, and Pastors for Peace, invokes Che Guevara and Fidel Castro, touts Cuba’s medical system, and says there is “no reason” to treat Cuba differently just because it is communist.
She also says they have been sending “thousands of pounds” of medicine and food every two weeks, with another 2,500 pounds going out.
That is exactly the kind of thing investigators should want to understand. Who funded it? Who bought it? Who transported it? Who received it? What licenses covered it? And how much money moved through this “humanitarian” pipeline?
Stick around for some Medea lore and other fascinating moments.

Medea Benjamin says she first went to Cuba in 1979, ended up living there for three years, married a Cuban, and had a child there.
She says Cuban doctors told her there was “no malnutrition in Cuba,” that Cuba’s problem was “obesity,” and that the only “malnourished” child she saw was supposedly her own.
Then she calls the late 1970s and 1980s Cuba’s “good old days,” when Soviet support helped counteract U.S. sanctions.
This is the lens she brings to Cuba, not skepticism, not accountability, but decades of revolutionary nostalgia.

More Medea lore, and this one shows how the activist worlds connect.
The intro from Sue Ellen Klein walks through Benjamin's 2014 Gaza delegation attempt, Egyptian detention, broken arm, and broader flotilla activism.
Then Medea immediately connects Gaza to Cuba, saying the March Nuestra América trip included Palestinian Americans and that they met Palestinians being trained for free in Cuba’s medical school.
She says more than 1,000 Palestinians have been trained there.
And remember, Medea frames Cuba’s medical system as producing “revolutionary doctors,” rooted in the vision of Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, and the Cuban Revolution.

This morning, @azov_media published a second video of their strikes around Mariupol, this time hitting around 20 military and fuel trucks between Mariupol and the russian border.
On this important road, I have now mapped more than 23 hits (some trucks are confirmed as destroyed by ground videos showing destroyed vehicles) with Hornet drones on russian logistics.

The second set of the Mandelson Files will reveal his cosy relationship with senior Labour Party officials.

This is the story of Patrick Diamond:🧵
Patrick Diamond is a former Special Advisor to Peter Mandelson, the ex-Labour Party peer and “best pal” of Jeffrey Epstein.
In the early 1990s, Diamond spent time living and working at an Israeli colony called Lahav.
Lahav is 5km from the illegal Eshkolot settlement.

Lahav is 5km from the illegal Eshkolot settlement.
Lahav is marketed as the Israeli state’s “only pig farm”.
The colony was originally set up in 1952 by the Nahal, an IDF program that combined military service with the establishment of settlements.

Today, we pause to give remembrance & to honor the men & women of our country who chose to serve in uniform, who left home & family & joined the many battles our country has fought.
They served courageously, valiantly & sacrificed everything for us & our freedom.
We do not only mourn them; we celebrate their lives, & that such heroes lived & fought & sacrificed for us— for without them, there would be no America.
While General Patton said it was wrong to mourn them, its impossible NOT to mourn the loss of our loved ones, our heroes, who sacrificed themselves on the altar of war for our Freedom.
They are dearly missed.
“It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died.
Rather, we should thank God that such men lived.” General George S. Patton, US Army
“Uncommon valor was a common virtue.” Admiral Chester W Nimitz
"For history does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid." General Dwight D Eisenhower, US Army
“The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war.” General Douglas C MacArthur
“In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield.” General Douglas C MacArthur
We will never forget the men & women who made the ultimate sacrifice or the families they left behind.
