The Georgian Interior Ministry denied media reports that tear gas was used in the Freedom Square metro station last night to disperse the rally.
2/ The aggressor country Russia may be preparing a new offensive obozrevatel.com/topic/vojna-v-…
in Ukraine within the next few weeks, sources report.
However, the enemy does not have many objective opportunities.
After all, if we talk about breaking through the "corridor" between Crimea and Transnistria, then this is a task from the category of fiction, taking into account both the distance - more than 200 kilometers - and the available resources of Russia, in particular due to the huge losses of ships
3/ The enemy's huge problem is also the lack of human resources.
Currently,
- the economy of the occupying country has actually lost two million workers - one million went abroad after the mobilization was announced, and the second was thrown to the front.
This shortage of workers can become critical and lead to the collapse of the Russian economy.
However,
the enemy can get a certain "sucker" - up to 80 thousand soldiers, if he manages to completely squeeze the Ukrainian Armed Forces out of #Kursk . obozrevatel.com/entity/vooruzh…
This may be enough to increase pressure on a separate section of the front, but there can be no talk of a large-scale offensive
1/ Ukrainians will ‘never forgive’ Russia — @ZelenskyyUa
The Ukrainian people will “never forgive” Russia for invading their country and committing numerous war crimes, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on March 31 english.nv.ua/nation/ukraini…
2/ The president made the statement during a speech in Bucha, on the third anniversary of the town’s liberation from Russian occupation. english.nv.ua/nation/inside-…
The event was also attended by a delegation of European MPs. Bucha has become the symbol of Russia’s barbaric aggression against Ukraine, with Russian troops killing hundreds of unarmed civilians during its weeks-long occupation in early 2022.
3/ “We will not forgive Russian crimes or this war because forgiveness would mean accepting that the current Russian system has a right to exist and expand at the expense of other peoples—a system that feeds on human suffering,” Zelenskyy said.
“We will undoubtedly defend Ukraine, and we must restore justice. Russia must be held accountable for this war.”
1/ The Kremlin is trying to dictate the terms of peace in Ukraine, Trump threatened Russia with sanctions: ISW (@TheStudyofWar ) assessed the situation
2/ US President Donald Trump has expressed his readiness to impose additional sanctions obozrevatel.com/ukr/topic/sank…
- targeting Russian oil and secondary sanctions against its buyers if dictator Vladimir Putin does not make progress on a temporary ceasefire.
That is,
if the Kremlin does not agree to a general ceasefire by Russian troops against Ukraine on the front line in the near future.
3/ This was recalled by analysts from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
The experts emphasized the fact that manipulations can still be expected from the Kremlin leader, as he is determined to dictate the terms of peace in Ukraineunderstandingwar.org/backgrounder/r…
1/ … Trump said today “there are methods” that would allow him to run for a 3rd term.
He was asked by NBC about the fact that he has not yet publicly agreed that the Constitution bars him from running again.
Trump on whether he will attempt it:
“A lot of people want me to do it But, I mean, I basically tell them we have a long way to go, it’s very early in the administration.”
2/ … He was asked if he was actually serious about this since the Constitution is pretty clear:
“I’m not joking. But it is far too early to think about it.”
When asked if someone has advised him specifically on how he could legally do it, Trump responded:
“There are methods which you could do it.”
… Trump also claimed that he was “very angry” and “pissed off” at Putin’s latest comments that he will not negotiate a ceasefire or peace agreement until a provisional government is installed in Ukraine because he doesn’t want to negotiate with Zelensky.
Trump said the talks are now “not going in the right location.”
3/ … “If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine, and if I think it was Russia’s fault - which it might not be - but if I think it was Russia’s fault, I am going to put secondary tariffs on all oil coming out of Russia.
If you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the US. There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25-50 point tariff on all oil.”
… Russia is bombing apartment buildings, schools, and hospitals daily. How is it not Putin’s fault? He also has zero plan to end this conflict. He never did. So he just keeps rolling out nonsense.
… Trump was also asked if he was serious about making Greenland part of the US: “We’ll get Greenland. Yeah, 100%.”
He said there’s a “good possibility that we could do it without military force, but I don’t take anything off the table.”
"How Ordinary Russians’ Lives Have Changed in 3 Years of War"
- Away from the front lines, millions of Russians have borne the brunt of deepening political repressions, sweeping economic sanctions and uncertainty about the future
2/ Monday marks three years since the Kremlin launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, which had already been at war with Moscow-backed separatist forces in its east since 2014.
3/ In Russia, the scars of the war might not be as visible outside of border regions like Belgorod and the embattled Kursk region. themoscowtimes.com/2025/02/20/wev…
Yet Russia’s war has also taken the lives of tens of thousands of its own soldiers and civilians — and millions more ordinary Russians have borne the brunt of deepening political repression and sweeping economic sanctions.
How decades of outrage, reality TV, and cheap applause made Trump inevitable
By:
Jason Egenberg
Mar 30
----
It wasn’t supposed to be this easy.
- That a nation once galvanized by JFK’s moonshot and Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream could be seduced by a man who sells steaks with his face on the box and spells policy in all caps like a high schooler trying to hit the word count—that wasn’t supposed to happen.
But it did.
2/ And if you want to know why, you don’t need to look any further than a bald man with cue cards and a stage full of people who came to fight. Literally.
Jerry Springer didn’t invent America’s taste for spectacle.
- But he weaponized it.
And he televised it.
And he syndicated it.
And he made it profitable.
He gave America its first taste of what happens when dignity becomes optional, decency is rebranded as elitism, and shame walks offstage holding a paternity test and wearing a microphone.
3/ And that, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is how we got here.
Because Springer didn’t just run a talk show.
He ran the first campaign rally for Donald Trump.
Trump didn’t step onto the political stage—he climbed out of the television, already mythologized.
