In today's #vatniksoup, I'll introduce an American social media grifter and supplements salesman, Scottson "Ayden" Sterritt (@squatsons). He's best-known for his extensive experience in geopolitics, bodybuilding and military strategy, and for his strong support for Russia.

1/20

Before starting to simp for Putin, Scottson was involved in the bodybuilding scene. His vast knowledge on geopolitics and military issues stems from his education at the prestigious Cibola High School.

2/20

@MnmProlabs

In addition to grifting online, Sterritt has had another source of income: he sells protein powders, shakes, and such. As you can see from the photo (and the receding hairline) below, he's found the perfect, natural way of bodybuilding with the help of @MnmProlabs ...

3/20

...shakes and protein bars. All natural, baby.

But maybe the powder business wasn't very lucrative, and after the war started he found a nice opportunity in selling Z-merchandise, claiming its for charity and pocketing the profits.

4/20

Apparently Sterritt's main job at the moment is to tweet about the Russo-Ukrainian War. He averages about 60 tweets per day, and most, if not all, are related to the conflict.

5/20

Sterritt was also allegedly involved in the crowdfunding efforts with Sarah "Donbass Devushka" Bils. Apparently he was part of the organizing team for the merchandise, and stated that "all proceeds go to charities helping the Donbass."

6/20

While NAFO was conducting research on "Donbass Devushka", he was speculating that the "investigation is meaningless and no one care about your theories about our team." 12 days later a small local newspaper called Wall Street Journal broke the DD story on their front page.

7/20

He also tweeted that "I know her name and it isn't Sarah or whatever," which can actually be true in case Sarah had already changed her name to Lyudmila. Lyudmila might or might not be in the backseat in the last photo with Scotty.

8/20

Sterritt's most popular episode of his "Kalibrated with Scott" podcast was when he hosted the convicted sex criminal, Scott Ritter. Ritter's expertise was evident during the early days of war, when he claimed that "Ukraine is getting schooled in the art of Urban warfare."

9/20

Because of Scottson's extensive knowledge in geopolitics and military issues, he knew already back in Aug 2022, that Iranian drones weren't being sent to Russia, calling the claim "complete crap".

10/20

A month later he was selling T-shirts promoting Iranian drones,again claiming that "all proceeds go to charities helping the Donbass." I think it would be an interesting investigation to see where the money actually went.

11/20

Now, let's look briefly at Sterritt's amazing ability to do military analysis. In Aug 2022, he tweeted that Kherson "will never be Ukraine again." The city was of course recaptured by the Ukrainian forces just three months later.

12/20

He was also all about the "winter of death", many times suggesting that Ukraine wouldn't survive over the winter, and that they'd "capitulate when the power goes off".
He cheered for the Vuhledar push in Nov 2022, which turned out to be a complete failure for the Russians.
13/20

In May 2023, Scotty tweeted that Russia "never targeted civilians power infrastructure, only substations linked to rail traffic." Then, few months later he was sharing videos of Russian's targeting a power station in Kyiv. Because Scotty's consistent like that.

14/20

Sterritt's made fun of both big counteroffensives conducted by the Ukrainian forces. Back in Aug 2022, he seemed to think that the first counteroffensive was a total failure. Few months later Ukraine re-captured a lot of areas (see the before and after map below).

15/20

He's always claimed to be having higher moral standards than the rabid Shiba Inus of NAFO, but in May 2022, he tweeted this nasty gem. The tweet's now deleted, of course, as it could be a PR hit for the morale crusader Scottson.

16/20

In May 2023, Scotty appeared on an open mic podcast called Defense Politics Asia, where he discussed various topics, including Bucha. He cast doubts on the events of Bucha, suggesting that the West had started their propaganda push some time prior to the events, ...

17/20

...and emphasized that it was either "something that didn't happen" or an "isolated incident", just like the tortured people in the mass graves in Izium, constant bombing of civilian targets around Ukraine, and the children's torture chambers in Kherson.

18/20

He claimed that he's been "for peace" the whole time, and that the Ukrainians should stop fighting and negotiate for peace. I did a quick search on Scotty's tweets, but couldn't find any calls for peace prior to Putin's fake annexation of the four Ukrainian Oblasts.

19/20

Currently he is focusing on bashing the ongoing second Ukrainian counteroffensive, especially celebrating any lost vehicles that were donated by Western countries.
Don't know about you, but I'm getting some popcorn ready for Scotty's coping if the offensive is successful!

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire and media tycoon. He’s best known for building a powerful media empire and for reshaping editorial lines across French media and publishing, pushing them toward far-right and pro-Kremlin positions.

1/25

Born in 1952 in Boulogne-Billancourt to a family of industrialists, Vincent studied law at Paris Nanterre University. He took over the family business and turned it into a sprawling conglomerate spanning logistics, port infrastructure in Africa, advertising, and media.

2/25

Bolloré’s African logistics empire also became the subject of a long-running corruption investigation in France. Legal proceedings against Vincent Bolloré personally are still ongoing, with a trial planned in December, after a judge refused to approve a plea deal.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce an American conspiracy theorist, podcaster & antisemite, Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO). She’s best known for spreading conspiracy theories, attacking Ukraine, promoting pro-Kremlin BS, and becoming a favorite of Russian state media.

1/21

Candace started her career as an intern at Vogue magazine but later moved into political commentary. Her early career focused on criticizing Republicans, calling their antics “bat-shit crazy.” In 2016, her blog even published an article about Trump’s penis size.

2/21

That same year, she launched a doxxing website called SocialAutopsy. In response, people began posting Owens’s personal information online. During the controversy, she gained support from figures such as @Nero and @Cernovich. And just like that, she became a conservative.

In today’s Wumao Soup, we’ll talk about Taiwan, the sovereign country the Chinese Communist Party insists is not a country, but constantly threatens to invade just like a country, while the “antiwar” crowd is eagerly encouraging them to start that war, endangering millions.

1/20

Taiwan is a country, a state. It has its own territory, government, army, police, courts, taxes, passports and elections, just like any other country.

The only difference? Its neighbor, imperialist China, wants to invade it, and other countries try to please the big bully.

2/20

Taiwan’s official name is the Republic of China, or ROC. The ROC was founded in 1912, after the fall of the Qing dynasty. The People’s Republic of China, or PRC, was founded by democidal dictator Mao Zedong and his communist party, in 1949, after fighting against the ROC.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce Russian propaganda operations around military targets like Starobilsk. For over a decade, the Kremlin has used similar strategies, combining crisis actors, “independent journalists” and fabricated evidence.

1/13

https://x.com/P_Kallioniemi/status/1611980244252258304

First, let’s go back to 2014. Russia funded separatist groups and sent its mercenaries to Donbas, which led to the creation of two puppet states, Donetsk and Luhansk, governed by Russian propagandists and soldiers like Igor Girkin.

2/13

https://x.com/P_Kallioniemi/status/1611980244252258304

The fake genocide was touted as one of the main reasons for Russia’s war during the early stages of the full-scale invasion, and the claim was made even by Putin himself. Before his mutiny, late Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin said that all this was fabricated bullshit.

In this 9th Debunk of the Day, we’ll discuss “legitimate military targets”. Russia illegally invaded Ukraine, with no declaration of war, hiding behind a “special military operation”. Yet vatniks & useful idiots pretend Russia has any legitimate or lawful targets in Ukraine.

1/8

https://x.com/P_Kallioniemi/status/1938237244537479275

Russia started the war in 2014 by seizing Crimea with unmarked soldiers, “little green men”. Russians have been waging an undeclared, illegal war with endless war crimes ever since, whether it’s kidnapping of Ukrainian children with genocidal intent…

2/8

https://x.com/P_Kallioniemi/status/1938237244537479275

… the concentration camps for Ukrainians under occupation, conscripting Ukrainians from occupied territories, or the terrorist, deliberate bombing of civilians, including their infamous “double tap” strikes.

So no, Russia does not have any “legitimate targets” in Ukraine.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce Hasan Piker, a Turkish-American streamer and millionaire. He’s best known for his champagne socialism, rabid criticism of the US and Israel, support for the Soviet Union and for Chinese and Russian invasions, and for mistreating his dog.

1/20

Born in 1991, Piker grew up in a privileged and well-connected environment. His father held senior roles at big corporations and his uncle, Cenk Uygur, is the founder of The Young Turks media network. He graduated cum laude from Rutgers, a top-tier university in New Jersey.

2/20

His main activity and primary source of income consists of hours-long livestreams on Twitch where he comments on news and yells at videos. He also keeps his dog in place the whole time with a shock collar.
