🇷🇺 Many wonder how the Russian economy is able to stay afloat under so many sanctions, keep a low debt and even outperform the west in production.

How was Vladimir Putin able to pick up the Russian Federation from the ashes of the USSR?

🧵1/16 After the collapse, Moscow a once great power was ridiculed to nothing. High debts, military and industries destroyed, resources plundered by oligarchs.

Under the rule of Yeltsin, Russia, a once great power was destined for destruction, but in 1999 a man came to power.

🇷🇺 There's a general misconception about Russia, one which aims to destroy what it has preserved for centuries.

The Russian Federation is more than just an Orthodox Christian Slavic nation. It's home to over 180 ethnics and 4 major religions.

🧵1/10 During the rise of Moscow and push back against mongol influence, the Russian empire was born.

An empire that will grow to become one of the largest in history, spanning 3 continents.

🇷🇺🇺🇸 President Putin held an hour long conversation with President Trump covering major events.

Putin gave an early congratulations to the US on its 249th anniversary, with Trump acknowledging Russia's support in US independence.

Key points discussed:

(1/8) US President Trump raised the issue of swiftly ending military operations in Ukraine.

And offered opportunities for another round of negotiations. But no specific date was discussed.

‼️🇷🇺🇦🇿 Rising tensions between the Russian Federation and Azerbaijan.

Baku trying to stand up against Moscow in a show of justified resistance or just being a foolish proxy like those before it. Here's my detailed analysis on the situation.

🧵1/10 Relations between Russia and Azerbaijan has undoubtedly been shaky in recent years.

The recent rift according to Azeri media, was provoked by the massive crackdown of the Russian FSB on the Azeri citizens in Yekaterinburg, claiming Russia was targeting it's population.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 This is probably one of the greatest US military fails. A PR disaster waiting to backfire.

Iran's Nuclear Facility in Fordow remains intact with little to no damages. The nuclear program not only still exists but is being sped up thanks for new foreign support.

🧵1/12 From higher resolution images we can see the use of 6 US GBU-57 "bunker buster" bombs.

The GBU-57 carried by the B-2 bomber is capable of approximately 60m of penetration.

But, Iran's nuclear facility is reported to be 20 or even 30m deeper. (80-90m)

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The Crimean Kerch bridge

Why is it so important to Kiev? What do the Ukrainians see in trying to destroy a civilian infrastructure.

For PR points? Or plain jealousy of their incapability to compete with Russian engineering.

1/7 🧵 The Kerch bridge is the longest bridge in Europe, spanning 18km between mainland Russia and Crimea.

Built between 2016-19. It was an engineering marvel and one of the most resilient civil engineering achievement of Russia.

🇺🇦 11 years ago today the Odessa massacre took place.

An event so crucial in understanding the 2022 SMO into Ukraine.

Where 40+ Russians hiding in the trade union building were burnt alive by Ukrainian ultranationalists.

What was their crime?

Simply being Russian and anti-EU, people who didn't want to see Ukraine fall to the globalists in the west. And they were kiIIed for it.

Victims from 17 - 70years of age

Some of you just don't know how bad Ukrainian propaganda was in 2022😭🤣🤣 Okay now I'm making a thread🧵

2022 was a year of miracles in Ukraine

‼️DEBUNKING THE NKOREAN BS

Just recently Ukraine put out footages of two captured "north koreans" in the Russian Kursk region.

I have analysed all media files and here's my findings:

Yes those are ethnic Koreans of the Russian Federation called the Koryo-saram (90k pop.)

1/7 HISTORY:

The people of Koryo-saram are ethnic Koreans who fled Japanese imperialism and found refuge in the Russian empire in the late 19th century.

At the time 170,000 migrated to the Vladivostok region, accepting Russian laws but preserving their language & culture.

The US government has two options.

Admit it's losing it's proxy in Ukraine to Russia or Start WWIII.

I'm just here to tell all bigger talkers attacking my account on twitter, we'd fk your marines, this isn't Iraq. This is the land were 70% of the German army fell. I have respected you all, but some westerners think this is some Hollywood film where Russia always loses. You are wrong.
