Latest @DefenceHQ update: notes the explosions on 16 August in Dzhankoi, home to one of two "most important Russian airfields in #Crimea" and "a key road and rail junction" supplying Russian forces in southern #Ukraine. "The cause ... is not yet clear" 😶 
#Russia's state media is upset at the "repressions" of Donald Trump. In a strange segment, Vladimir Solovyov even wondered if "Teflon Don" might not be "[declared] a Russian spy" and if so would #Russia do a prisoner exchange "to bring Trump to Russia?". thedailybeast.com/russian-state-…
On stage with #Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz, #PLO chief Mahmud Abbas said Israel had committed multiple "holocausts" against Palestinians. "Scholz did not react verbally ..., though he grimaced at the use of the word, which Abbas uttered in English." timesofisrael.com/in-berlin-abba…
#pt: The current #PLO leader, Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen), a #KGB agent, financed the operation that massacred the Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics in Germany. Might also add, Abbas got his PhD for a thesis in Holocaust-denial from a Moscow university. kyleorton.substack.com/p/why-putins-r…

#Russia: in the village of Bolshaya Martynovka, in Rostov, Viktor Galdobin, 49, an open critic of Putin, was beaten to death by a man screaming, "So you like Ukraine?" (and "Faggot"). The assailant's wife stood by shouting, "Husband, kill him". verstka.media/ubijstvo-baike…
Whatever Boris Johnson's legacy in #Britain, he is going to be remembered in #Ukraine as a hero, the most reliable friend at the Ukrainians' darkest moment.

Everything is wrong in this @Reuters report, presenting #Ukraine as the party escalating by fighting the occupation of its territory and labelling #Crimea as #Russia's territory.

"The real party of peace is not those advising Zelensky to give Putin more land. It is those pushing the West to supply the Ukrainian army with more and better weapons, and as fast as possible."

#pt: The report notes that some Muslim #Chechens are objecting to participation in #Russia's war on #Ukraine because it is a war between two Christians. A week after the invasion began, #IS made announced that this was its position on the conflict kyleorton.substack.com/p/islamic-stat…
#Putin's "denazification operation" in #Ukraine has not done much damage to Nazis - who have a prominent place in the Russian invading force - but it is clearing #Jews out of #Russia.
