🇷🇺THE RUSSIANS ARE COMING: NOW IN DNEPROPETROVSK

Russian forces have LIBERATED the first settlement in the Ukrainian Dnepropetrovsk region, and are moving forward.

Entering Dnepropetrovsk region is ESSENTIAL to liberate Donbass.

Here's why 👇🏻🧵

2/6 RUSSIAN FLAG RAISED IN DNEPROPETROVSK VILLAGE

This weekend, Russian soldiers liberated Dachnoye village in the Dnepropetrovsk region, which is right on the border with the Donetsk Peoples Republic.

Later, this was confirmed by Russia's Co-chairman of the Coordination Council for the Integration of New Regions Vladimir Rogov.

3/6 WHY IT MATTERS

The Russian army has been enlarging its presence on the Dnepropetrovsk region's border since early June.

Several points of Russian forces' entry to the Dnepropetrovsk region provide more opportunities to liberate Krasnoarmeysk in Donbass, the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin noted.

🚨SEN. GRAHAM’S SANCTIONS BILL: CUTTING OFF AMERICA’S NOSE TO SPITE RUSSIA

The new Russia sanctions bill pushed by war hawk Lindsey Graham* is self-destructive.

Here's why🧵

WHAT’S IN THE BILL

🔸A 500% tariff on any country that buys Russian oil, gas, uranium, or petrochemicals (≈ most of the non-Western world & US allies)

🔸This is equivalent to “cutting off America’s nose to spite Putin’s face,” warns The Washington Post.

IT MISSED THE CASE

🇪🇺EU spent $23B on Russian fossil fuels in 2024, more than the $19B it gave Ukraine in aid (per the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air)

🚨UNSPOKEN INHERITANCE: NAZI FAMILY TIES OF EUROPE’S MODERN ELITES

The scandal over the new MI6 chief’s Nazi collaborator grandfather is just the tip of the iceberg.

Here’s how deep the rabbit hole really goes.

🧵👇

FASCISTS IN THE FAMILY

New UK foreign intelligence boss Blaise Metreweli’s granddad was a Ukrainian SS volunteer named Konstantin Dobrovolsky.

He earned the nickname ‘The Butcher’ over his notorious reputation killing Jews and anti-Nazi partisans.

FASCIST FLUNKY

Friedrich Merz’s grandfather Josef Paul Sauvigny was the mayor of Brilon, Germany during Hitler’s rise.

Sauvigny praised the Nazis, renamed streets after party bigwigs, and joined the NSDAP.

Merz has characterized granddad as “an admirable role model.”

🚨FORDOW ATTACK: BOOM OR BUST?

The DoD and White House claim the US attack obliterated Iran’s primary nuclear site. Is that true?

Let’s fact-check with ex-Swedish Armed Forces officer Mikael Valtersson. 🧵👇

THROWING DUST

The DoD says rising dust from Fordow's vent shafts proves the site was destroyed.

But here's the thing: the shafts themselves are made of concrete, so "even if you hit the top...there will be dust," says Valtersson.

2/6

BOMB DETAILS

GBU-57 bombs can penetrate 60M before exploding. Fordow is an underground fortress buried under a mountain.

Valtersson estimates individual GBU-57s would only burrow 20-30M of rock before going off, leaving it unclear whether the facility was penetrated.

🚨ISRAEL'S ATTACKS: HOW 'NAZI-STYLE BARBARITY' BACKFIRED

The Israeli army murdered women & children to stop Iran’s nuclear program & trigger regime change — but failed miserably.

Prof. Marandi explains why terrorizing Iran didn't work: 🧵

1️⃣ SAME OLD PLAYBOOK

"Not only did they murder senior military officials in their Blitzkrieg attack, similar to the Nazi Germany attack, but they murdered families, neighbors, and — just in case — they murdered everyone in buildings."

2️⃣ NETANYAHU HAS NO RED LINES

"The Netanyahu regime is one of the most dangerous regimes in contemporary human history."

But the problem is with Israeli govt in general: "They are ethno-supremacists and they consider others as inferior human beings."
