1) The Russian government released this photo of the alleged Belgorod insurgents vehicles after a battle. I used to be a tow truck operator. This is staged. These vehicles didn’t crash into that trench. I’ll explain why⬇️
2) No gravel stuck in the tire tread. In fact, no dirt on the tires at all. This was loaded into that trench off a flatbed and carefully choreographed in place. Not even a low-budget war movie production would be this sloppy with realism. Let’s go to the next⬇️
3) So this humvee slammed into the trench wall head on but no soil was pushed ahead of it. Which you would have even if it hit at 10MPH. It’s a heavy vehicle. It’s going to displace soil on impact. This vehicle was placed there off a flatbed. Next⬇️
4) How did the front tire get over the trench but the rear wheels didn’t? Especially since the other vehicle nose-dived into it. Not only that, but it didn’t leave any tire tracks. In fact, the tire never touched the ground at all. Remarkable, since it just crossed a trench. ⬇️
5) But this one takes the cake. See that displaced soil? That’s from movement of the tire from your right to your left in the photo. The direction of the arrow I drew. That’s from shoving it sideways into the trench from the front of the vehicle semi-diagonally. ⬇️
6) Here’s how they did it: They used a flatbed truck and a crane. Lowered the vehicles into position, and pushed them by hand into a more dramatic pose. They probably captured these in Ukraine months ago or got them from Iran who captured them from ISIS who captured them in Iraq.

1) Some people outside the US have been asking: “Is it safe to travel to the United States?” Read this and you’ll find your question answered. In short, it is not safe because the US is a nascent fascist police state with jackboot ICE thugs that can detain you. Let’s continue⬇️
2) Backpacking trips across North America are not at all unusual. I’ve read travel writing by authors who walked across Morocco and also Central Asia without being detained by governments. Let’s continue⬇️
3) What kind of Gestapo bullshit is this? Again, I’ve read a lot of travel writing and this happened only rarely in countries where you’d expect this type of thing to happen. And none of the writers were detained. Let’s continue⬇️
1) Some people wonder why Steve Witkoff put his hand over his heart when he met Putin. Yes, it’s because the Trump admin is collaborating with Russia. But with Witkoff, it’s more than that. He would do the same thing if it was 1937 and he met Stalin. And why? Because⬇️
2) People like Witkoff idolize what they see as powerful people. They crave access to them because it makes them feel powerful. Proximity to power is their desire. Dictators like Putin know that about them, and they use that to manipulate them. And also⬇️
3) It’s the same as when Charles Lindbergh went to Nazi Germany and got to pal around with Hermann Goring. He idolized the whole fascist regime. And it’s the same with Witkoff who idolizes Putin and Trump both because he craves access to what he sees as powerful men.
1) Now let’s prove the Vice President of the United States is, in fact, a fascist who is trying to abolish democratic government along with Trump the dictator. Here he is condemning due process. He’s a lawyer, so he knows quite as well as we do that he is lying. Let’s continue⬇️
2) He goes on to say this. The point here is this: The Constitution is not a smorgasbord where you get to pick the parts you like and ignore the rest. Or abide by it only when you want to or it suits your purpose. But let’s do this. Let’s do a comparison next⬇️
3) In the left screenshot, the Vice President condemns the very idea that the Trump administration must observe due process of law. In the screenshot on the right, we see what he is saying the Trump admin doesn’t believe in. Let’s continue⬇️
1) The United States deserves whatever bad consequences happen to it as a result of its own foolish actions. It’s bad enough when its childish and irresponsible political system affects the US. When it affects the world, it looms too large and cannot be justified. And also⬇️
2) Correct. The GOP Congress collaborates with Trump. So it’s the majority of the US political system which threatens the world. The US political system has no right to do that. It’s almost like wrecking the lives of Americans wasn’t enough for it. And about that⬇️
3) If the US gets the past Trumpism and wants to restore its former relationship with Europe, then Europe should put conditions on that. The same circled conditions it places on nations that want to join the European Union. It should mandate political reform as a requirement.⬇️
1) So this is in the news and it mentions an executive order. I did a thread about that executive order two months ago. In the thread, I point out that there’s an unintended flaw in the way the 1st Amendment is written—and the Trump administration is using it. Let’s continue⬇️
2) Here’s the thread. Now, people will say the president can’t make laws in the first place. However, that’s exactly what he’s doing with executive orders and GOP Congress refuses to challenge him. As you see in the news article, Trump’s “laws” are acted upon. Let’s continue⬇️
3) Now this executive order is bad enough, since “anti-Christian bias” can mean anything they want it to mean. For example, if Christians harass gay people, and gay people resist it, the gay people can be accused of “anti-Christian bias”. But there’s more next⬇️
1) By this executive order, Trump has just declared the US border with Mexico a “National Defense Area”, putting it under the control of the US military with SecDef Hegseth as basically the military governor of the region. With a lot of power, too. Let’s continue⬇️
2) In fact, DOD (meaning SecDef Hegseth) will be in control of any federal land they deem “necessary”. As you see here, they be called National Defense Areas. De facto military installations. It gets worse, so let’s continue⬇️
3) As you see here, Secretary of the Interior must cooperate with DOD (Hegseth) and give him whatever he wants. Let’s continue⬇️
