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) This particular strain of weaponized Russian disinformation has already been deployed. I have said that Russian disinformation is modeled after biological weapons. Therefore, it is designed to be highly contagious and to spread rapidly. Things to know⬇️
2) If you see tweets saying election violence has begun somewhere, DO NOT believe it until you FACT-CHECK that story from a genuine news source. DO NOT retweet or quote tweet it. Use screenshots if you want to expose it and debunk it. And I will tell you why next⬇️
3) The Russian disinformation weapon will make false claims election violence has begun somewhere to get people to show up to the place. DO NOT spread this by quote tweets to expose it. Use screenshots and black out the account name and its “at” name. And why?⬇️
1) See, right now, the GOP is scared shitless. Losing this election is bad enough. But suppose Harris is popular and has policy wins. What happens in 2028? Because Trump will maintain control over the party even after losing. He basically owns the GOP. So what that means⬇️
2) They’re not going to have viable candidates in 2028 because of Trump’s incompetence. And the bastard will be too damn old to run his own self. The party is in a death spiral if he loses this one. It’s too riddled with Trump groupthink now. And in 2028⬇️
3) Suppose Harris wins this election and is re-elected in 2028. Now the GOP is in even deeper shit. Now they’re in an FDR situation of losing election after election. And what happens if Walz is also popular and he runs in 2032? The GOP might never recover. Because⬇️
1) And now the debut episode for season two of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
This episode: “Stalin’s Magical Census”.
In this episode, you’ll see that when Stalin tells vatniks what the population of the USSR is, they better find that number. Or else. Let’s get started!⬇️
2) Stalin and his fellow Vatniks came up with the idea to take a census. Everyone should’ve known they were in a no-win situation here. As many people as Stalin killed? And maybe he lost track of how many? Plus the usual unrealistic expectations of Stalin. Lets keep going⬇️
3) Stalin helpfully told them what he thought the numbers were. And what Stalin said should’ve clued them in that if they did an actual census, he was going to be pissed. Let’s see what he said next⬇️
1) And now for a special bonus episode of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
What are you looking at in this photo? Find out in our episode “That Damn Dam The Soviets Built”.
Let’s begin!⬇️
2) In the photo above, you are seeing the results of this. The vatniks of Putin trusted in the legacy of vatnik-built infrastructure of the Soviet vatniks. And the results are: Typical vatnik disasters. This dam was started in 1963 and went online in 1978. And then⬇️
3) Right after the dam went online, the problems began to appear. This is because of vatnik engineering and poor quality, as we know. So Vatniks do what they always do and start repairing new equipment to try and make it work. And it’s a long, continuous process. And⬇️
1) And now a new episode of…
SECRETS OF THE VATNIKS!
This episode…The Wacky Wunderwaffe MiG!
In this episode, we’ll explore vatnik design and engineering, their frustrated desire to create wonder weapons, and typical vatnik weapons manufacturing.
Let’s get started!⬇️
2) In this, the Vatniks did something they considered a success: They panicked the Pentagon with vatnik junk. This was always what Vatniks do—and still do. Get the US to think they’re more advanced than they really are. And that their wonder weapons actually work. And⬇️
3) Despite having a lot of titanium, Vatniks simply couldn’t use it. They didn’t have the tools, technology, or the know-how to use it. So, they opted for the best they could get: Much heavier stainless steel. This is how Vatniks problem-solve. Let’s keep going⬇️
1) Were Russian-made weapons EVER any good compared to US weapons? Dating back to the Soviets, the answer is this: The Russians can develop a weapon that challenges them. But they can’t keep up with US advances designed to defeat them. Let’s talk about Operation Mole Cricket 19⬇️
2) Here is a summary. Basically, Israel learned a lot from the Yom Kippur War regarding its losses to SAMs the Soviets had given Egypt and Syria. And so they developed tactics and acquired weapons to deal with air defense. They put those into practice and succeeded. And⬇️
3) This gives us a breakdown of the weapons used by each side. Ok, so the Syrians had average Soviet fighters. They didn’t have MiG-31s. But what they did have, they had appreciable quantities of. And they a lot of SAMs the Soviets thought should make up the difference. And⬇️
