The Intel update from London today talks about defences and optics. For me the last sentence is very important.
Because it happens seldom in free countries, many "Russia experts" forget the lengths and expense Putin will go to just to fool the people.

The Gauteng High Court in Johannesburg found Gerhard Ackerman guilty on Monday of multiple charges linked to a child sex abuse ring that he masterminded.
Ackerman faced 740 charges, including possession of child pornography, rape, human trafficking, sexual grooming of a child, sexual assault and the sexual exploitation of children.
"The Solomon Mahlangu Campus (SMC) initially started in April, 1979 as an educational facility for the African National Congress (ANC) of South Africa being known as ANC School, Mazimbu"-conas.sua.ac.tz/historical-sit…
"Following the execution of a famous ANC freedom fighter, Solomon Kalushi Mahlangu by the then apartheid regime in South Africa, the ANC School was renamed Solomon Mahlangu Freedom College (SOMAFCO) in honor of the freedom fighter’s contribution to the liberation struggles"-Ibid.
#SouthAfrica: Today the finance minister went back on the decision to exempt #Eskom from reporting expense regularities and the electricity minister lifted the state of disaster declared two months to deal with #loadshedding. These developments are good, but--
--it's alarming that they were made in the first place, because the first was an attempt to cover up the #corruption that we know to have occurred and the second would've simply opened the door to further corruption.
Then, to see government flip flopping on decisions is never a good sign, primarily because it signals a lack of decisive leadership with a vision. What was the plan? Was there a plan? And what was the end goal? Surely only something nefarious.

#Brazil, #Russia, #India, #China, #SouthAfrica (BRICS) now provide 31.5% of global #GDP, with further projected growth - while Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom, and United States (G7) provide 30.7%.

A look at #BRICS countries' GDP growth and GDP Growth rate clearly shows that the US hegemony of the world economy is on the brink of collapse by 2030, leading to the shift in power balance to the eastern part of the world.
Post-Russia Ukraine conflict, #BRICS countries showed remarkable resilience contrary to consumer inflation and energy inflation in Europe and the US including the G7 bloc.

Anglo-Boer War Concentration Camps. Bladey horrific. They speak of the British propaganda campaigns, the British Press...The Daily Mail as usual obliges. All the way back then. Making the Boers less of individuals and more of a collectively despised group.
Nothing has changed! "100 Years ago the British Government was involved in a MASSIVE #propaganda ploy." "Propaganda was rife & under NO circumstances were they going to tell the British Public what they were doing." Displayed the camps as "refugee camps"
Just part of the new style of warfare. They made out the Boer people to be tremendously primitive. The propaganda machine was powerful, aided by moving film. MORE Theatre. #Ukraine
