1/5 Elon Musk is attacking Wikipedia after failing to buy it in order to turn it into a Kremlin propaganda machine (he really doesn't want you to verify facts!) Image
2/5 Elon Musk has once again criticized Wikipedia and urged his followers to stop donating to the platform. He previously made an offer to purchase Wikipedia, and it seems that offer is still on the table. Image
3/5 Musk seems determined to hinder Americans' ability to easily verify facts or access information. He appears willing to do whatever it takes to make many Americans even more unaware than they already are. Image
4/5 Now is the perfect time to donate to Wikipedia to ensure it remains as it is and doesn't get purchased by a far-right oligarch who would transform it into a Kremlin propaganda tool. Image
5/5 Sources:
NY Post - Elon Musk urges supporters not to donate to Wikipedia after it spent $50M on DEI: ‘Wokepedia’
The Economic Times - Elon Musk’s $1 Billion Offer to Wikipedia Still Stands Image

1/6 russia is losing the war it started in Ukraine. Only the cowardice of the West can save it from a strategic defeat Image
2/6 Had anyone been told in March 2022 that the situation would be the current one three years later, we would have all seen it as a massive Ukrainian victory and russian defeat. Image
3/6 russia won't reach its initial strategic goals, and it was closer to achieving them in March 2022 than it is now. As the initiator of the war, russia faces the pressure of reaching its goals if it wants to win the war. Image

1/6 If Xi and Putin dispatched agents to seize control and weaken the US from within, what would they do that differs from the current administration? I can't think of much Image
2/6 One might genuinely question whether the US administration is serving the interests of china and russia. Its actions over the past few weeks appear aimed at undermining the US and its global influence. Image
3/6 The US can't be a world leader without its allies. Trump's administration and Musk's criticisms of USAID appear to undermine US alliances and soft power, leading to perceptions of the US as unreliable and unstable. Image

1/7 Why are Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks, and other far-right billionaires willing to sacrifice Ukraine and Taiwan? Image
2/7 Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and David Sacks are far-right billionaires who indirectly gained power in the 2024 presidential election. They significantly influence Trump's policies and want him to abandon Ukraine and Taiwan. Image
3/7 These billionaires consistently prioritize their business interests over American interests. They rely on china for its market, labor, and natural resources, which leads them to avoid confronting china, regardless of its actions. Image

1/8 General @SPE_Kellogg (@generalkellogg) must convince Trump that the only way to end russia's war in Ukraine is by demonstrating strength through long-term commitments of weapons to Ukraine. Nothing else will persuade Putin to halt his invasion! Image
2/8 General Kellogg plans to present Donald Trump with a strategy to end russia's war in Ukraine. The plan will likely involve threats to russia, such as sanctions, aimed at pressuring Putin to negotiate and bring the conflict to an end. Image
3/8 Putin is currently confident that russia's situation on the front lines will improve in the future, which provides him with no motivation to negotiate. He believes he can secure a better deal in six or twelve months than what is available to him now. Image

1/11 Finally! The Ukrainian Army is transitioning from a Brigade to a Corps system Image
2/11 The long-awaited reform of the Ukrainian Army and the creation of new corps is now underway. Commander-in-Chief Sirskyi has informed President Zelensky that the reorganization plan for the Armed Forces has been approved and is actively being implemented. Image
3/11 Butusov reports that the command plans to create up to 20 Army Corps to enhance the top brigades and form new forces around them. Each corps will be designated a specific area of responsibility and will manage at least five brigades. Image

1/7 The 2025 high-tech version of child soldiers: Ruthless warlords have often risen to power by exploiting child soldiers. Musk is employing a similar strategy, but with inexperienced young engineers who, much like child soldiers, are unlikely to challenge his authority Image
2/7 A WIRED report reveals troubling insights into the Elon Musk-led DOGE, highlighting that engineers aged 19 to 24, primarily associated with Musk's companies, are crucial in his takeover of federal infrastructure. Image
3/7 This represents the 2025 high-tech version of a warlord gaining power with the assistance of child soldiers who blindly obey their leader. Musk could employ more seasoned engineers aged 25 to 50. Why isn't he choosing to do so? Image
