🚨 RUSSO-IRANIAN KILLER DRONES ARE OVER POLAND/NATO RIGHT NOW.

We have reports of Polish/Nato air defense working against this Russian incursion.

Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, & the Netherlands have fighters up.

Meanwhile, scores of Russian drones are over Ukraine. Rzeszów Airport in eastern Poland is shutdown due to the Russian killer drone threat.

1/ On Sunday mornings, Russia sends bombs.
Ukraine sends prayers.

Russia is not a Christian nation.
In fact, by practice, it's Islamic.

And here’s the kicker: Ukraine has more churchgoers than Russia—even though Russia is 4x bigger.

Putin lies. Numbers don't 🧵⤵️ 2/ In Russia, at least 1 in 3 active worshipers are Muslim, who make up about 10% of the population.

Meanwhile, not even 6% of Russian Orthodox worship weekly.

The churches have been empty since the Bolsheviks’ 1917 war on Christianity. ⤵️

1/ Nixon warned in 1992:

Russia without communism would become MORE dangerous. And he was right.

He also gave another prediction: a way to stop it 🧵⤵️ 2/ In March 1992—just months after the USSR's collapse—former President Richard Nixon issued a chilling memo to President George H.W. Bush:

“A new Russian despotism, unburdened by the dying faith in communism… will be even more dangerous than Soviet totalitarianism." ⤵️

1/ When China invades Taiwan, will they be unprepared like Russia was in Ukraine?

No. Every month brings new proof that Chinese–Russian military cooperation is more than smiles at Beijing parades.

Hacked documents show China is studying, planning, and learning fast. 🧵⤵️ 2/ The hacktivists @blackmoon_group are leaking Russian defense files.

Latest drop: June 2024—Moscow sent Beijing the 7th package of Sword-208 Taiwan invasion plans.

We know from prior leaks that Sword 208 is a digital playbook + control software for an amphibious landing ⤵️

1/ Putin’s sneakiest weapon in Ukraine isn’t a missile.

It's an Islamist-style terror network masquerading as Orthodox churches.

Fact: 85% of Ukrainians are Christian. Only 4% follow Moscow’s clergy, who work for Putin.

Ukraine's Christians (📸) lead the resistance🧵⤵️ 2/ This explosive report comes from Steven Moore (@MooreUSA), a Republican former congressional chief of staff now based in Kyiv, helping America understand Ukraine.

His org, Ukraine Freedom Project, just dropped A Faith Under Siege—a film exposing Putin’s war on Christians. ⤵️

1/ Are NATO forces in Ukraine? That's what Russians want to believe.

Which is why they force Ukrainian prisoners of war to march chanting nursery rhymes in German, English, and Polish.

A look at school-shooter level of twisted degeneracy ... 🧵⤵️ 2/ Friends who work with recently exchanged Prisoners of War are sending me testimonies from Ukrainians who survived these bizarre Russian camps.

Let's descend into a twisted world, as narrated by one of the Snake Island heroes, now back in Ukraine ⤵️

1/ From a coffee break in Copenhagen they just steered a killer robot in war-zone Ukraine.

An incredible new tech enables real-time, zero-lag control, even from 2,000km away.

War from home is the new work from home. 🧵⤵️ 2/ At DALO EXPO 2025—Denmark's premier defense exhibition, held in August—visitors witnessed something both encouraging and chilling, as reported by @DefenderMediaUA.

With a simple interface controller they could operate an actual combat robot deep in Ukraine, in real-time. ⤵️

1/ Washington, move. Kyiv is becoming the drone-tech capital of the world.

In 2022, Ukraine produced 0 military drones. In 2024 it produced 2 million—and aims for 4+ million in 2025.

Their secret? Skipping defense giants and unleashing garage-born brilliance 🧵⤵️ 2/ Ukrainian soldiers don’t drown in bureaucratic reports. No time for that. They tell developers what they need that week.

Hackathons, gov & NGO-run challenges, and direct comms mean drones are built for real battlefield problems, not PowerPoint slides.

1/ Ukraine’s streets are safe—except when Russian illegal immigrants attack.

European & American streets are NOT safe: 3 Ukrainian women were raped or killed just this past week.

With war zones safer than Western cities, something’s broken. Time to face the dual threat! 🧵⤵️ 2/ In the past week—

Paris police arrested a Libyan refugee for raping a Ukrainian woman by the Eiffel Tower.

In Germany, an Iraqi man pushed a 16-year-old Ukrainian girl under a freight train.

In Charlotte, USA—a local man stabbed a 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee to death. ⤵️

1/ Beijing and Moscow are preparing for war—while the West sleeps.

China has bought farmland near more than 30 U.S. military bases.

Russia is building churches overlooking European nuclear plants & security sites.

Are we stupid? 🧵⤵️ 2/ Well, Texas and Finland aren't stupid.

Texas just made it illegal for citizens of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea to buy or rent land.

And Finnish authorities have shut down a Russian Orthodox church located near the naval base in Turku.

What’s going on? ⤵️

1/ Ever notice how Putin and Zelenskyy share almost the same first name?

Vladimir. Volodymyr.

One means “ruler of the world.”
The other, “holder of peace.”

As Russia's bombs fell around me in Kyiv last night I realized: That’s the whole war in a nutshell.🧵⤵️ 2/ On my mind at once:

⦿ Russia rained down hell last night.

⦿ The Minnesota school shooter’s words sound like Putin’s.

⦿ 3 popes have urged us to read the 1907 novel Lord of the World, about an anti-Christ.

The kicker? "Vladimir" literally means "lord of the world." ⤵️

1/ This isn’t Silicon Valley blabber.
It’s a Defense Tech Valley epic.

Meet a Ukrainian soldier named Vladislav.
He was captured by Russians, who slit his throat and buried him alive.

Ready for a masterclass in survival against cutthroat competitors? 🧵⤵️ 2/ Vladislav, age 33 and father of a 4-year-old girl, was captured along with his intel unit.

The Russians gouged out the some of the Ukrainians' eyes. They cut off lips, ears, noses—and genitals.

This demon behavior shouldn’t surprise: Moscow bombs children in their beds. ⤵️

1/ Ukrainians don’t rest on laurels or wait for Washington. They adapt.

Something works? Make it better.

You’ve heard of Flamingo, the pink-painted cruise missile? 🦩

Now, meet the Long Neptune. Its message to the world: You can't cage the will to be free ...🧵⤵️ 2/ The original Neptune missile made history in the Battle of the Black Sea.

In 2022, two Ukrainian-made Neptunes sank Russia’s flagship Moskva—shattering the myth of Moscow’s naval supremacy. ⚓🔥

Russia's broken navy soon had to flee its Crimean port to a Russian one. ⤵️

1/ How can a nation with fewer people than San Diego stand up to mighty Russia?

They've done it with three unlikely weapons: rifles, song, and code.

Still mixing up Estonia with its Baltic neighbors? This’ll fix that. 🧵⤵️ 2/ PART ONE—RIFLES:

When Russia, initially with Hitler's approval, occupied Estonia, thousands refused to surrender.

Teachers, farmers, students vanished into the forests with old rifles and makeshift bombs.

They became the Forest Brothers. The resistance lasted decades. ⤵️

1/ Sunday morning in Kyiv, I stumbled to my local café.

“Happy Independence Day,” I said to the barista.
She smiled, then asked me:
“And what does independence mean to you?”

Welcome to wartime Ukraine.
Here’s what I’ve learned in 3.5 years of war reporting 🧵⤵️ 2/ There is no resilience, only resilient people.

I kept hearing this from many, including a triple-amputee British photographer (📸 @gilesduley), warriors, and clergy.

Now I see: You don't have resilience. You become resilient, by finding your grit against daily hell. ⤵️

1/ Russia tried to freeze Ukrainians.
Now Ukraine is melting down Russia’s oil empire.

Ukraine has knocked out 13% of Russia's oil refinery capacity in weeks. Kyiv calls it “direct sanctions.”

This was achieved with “toys.” But now Ukraine’s unveiled a monster 🧵⤵️ 2/ Scenes across Russia this week:

🚗 Long lines of cars & trucks at gas stations
⏳ Hours-long waits
💸 Record-high prices

Social media is flooded with videos from regions across Russia—and occupied Crimea—showing the growing Russian fuel crisis. ⤵️

1/ Less than a week after meeting Trump in Alaska, Putin spent more than $4 million to destroy ONE American consumer goods factory.

Here’s what proves it was a deliberate provocation to @realDonaldTrump ...🧵⤵️ 2/ At 4:30 a.m. on Aug 21, Russian Kalibr cruise missiles slammed into the Flex facility in fairytale Mukachevo, Ukraine—just 30 miles from the EU border.

A massive fire tore through the plant.
At least 19 people were injured. ⤵️

1/ Swarms of drones are overwhelming traditional air defenses. Humans can’t react in time.

Ukraine’s AI-powered drone hunter changes the game.

Maybe someone at the Pentagon should read this? 🧵⤵️ 2/ Meet Photon by Defender Dynamics.

It's a flying weapons platform carrying up to six titanium shotgun barrels.

It can fire all six simultaneously or in sequence. And it can select targets automatically. ⤵️

1/ What connects fairy-tale Copenhagen with bombed-out Mykolaiv?

A radical idea: the Danish Model.

If you care about the future of the free world, you need to see this. 🧵⤵️ 2/ Denmark: just 5.9 million people.
LEGO, Hans Christian Andersen, bicycles, hygge (coziness).

And now—a new way to support freedom:

The Danish Model is changing how the free world arms Ukraine—and maybe how wars are won. ⤵️

1/ A leaked letter exposes secret Russian video talks with China’s Ministry of Defence.

The subject: training Chinese paratroopers for a Taiwan assault.

Do you want to know what they’re cooking? 🧵⤵️ 2/ Now, notably this letter was from 2021.

Before Russia’s full-scale f-up in Ukraine.

Was China trusting Moscow’s bravado to help it take Taiwan?

Has Ukraine's resistance protected Taiwan? ⤵️

1/ Yesterday, the White House was the stage set of the most important reality show on Earth.

Here’s the key idea from EACH foreign leader in the room—you won’t find this anywhere else ... 🧵⤵️ 2/ @realDonaldTrump won the presidency because he understands optics.

He favors talks in front of cameras so Americans see what’s at stake.

Yesterday, key European leaders—including Zelenskyy—were speaking not just to Trump, but to America. ⤵️
