Putin is addressing the nation right now The "blood and barbaric" terrorist attack has killed dozens of innocent, peaceful people

He expresses gratitude to ambulance crews, firefighters and rescuers who did everything to save people's lives; condolences to all those who have lost relatives and friends

After the dissolution of the USSR, the US seized the opportunity to re-educate and indoctrinate young and bright students from formerly hostile countries.

A lot of programs were established to "Spread democracy", "Teach post-soviet kids American values" etc Image One of the most successful programs of this kind was FLEX. They literally decided to flex on their enemy's grave. Future Leaders Exchange entailed bringing 15–19 year-old students from the former Eastern Block over to the US to live with a host family and attend US high school Image

Going through this new WaPo article on Ukrainian terror attacks inside Russia. Interesting combination of bragging about how great the CIA is but also trying to create distance from what the SBU is actually doing. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/10/… The CIA are nice guys, unlike the SBU. Training, providing advanced surveillance equipment & intel, supplying explosives, sure! But to press the button... God forbid. “Local excesses”, as they said under Stalin. The world hegemon hides behind the bicolor rag again. How American.

We started RWA three years ago. Originally, it had nothing to do with any kind of war reporting or snarky political commentary. The purpose of RWA was to make Russian culture & history more accessible to an interested audience; in a way that wouldn't feel like walking through a museum or reading a NYT article. Our audience back then was small but active, and we produced some of our best episodes back when we only had 1% of our current follower count on Twitter. So, as discussed on our last stream, we decided to post some of our older content we'd like to highlight that you may have missed: RUSSIAN VOLUNTEERS, PART I: Russians participating in foreign conflicts in the age of romantic nationalism: the Greek War of Independence, Garibaldi’s invasion, the Balkans, the War between the States. The history of Russian-Boer relations, and the common fight against perfidious Albion.

Armenia doesn't want to be friends with Russia because it wants to be friends with Russia's enemies instead. Russia's enemies are coincidentally also allied to Armenia's mortal enemy. People in Artsakh will suffer greatly because of this & Armenia might cease to exist as a state Russia is the only reason there are still Armenians alive in Artsakh

Women heavily outnumbered men in post-WW2 USSR

Millions of Russian men have sacrificed their lives during Great Patriotic War and it has left a big hole in the male demographics

Male scarcity has reshaped familial/dating markets in Soviet Russia

https://t.co/3ERl4rnsWv
Women were not happy about it at all. They were fiending for a man. Once husband was obtained, they would often forgive him cheating or boozing

One of the reasons why post-soviet girls (try to) look so pretty is caused by recent male scarcity. Excellent genetics too, of course

When Russia along with entire post-USSR was in a particularly deplorable state of decline in the 90s and early 00s, many teenagers were joining gopnik gangs. Unlike adult gangs, gopniks were younglins - mostly in the 10-20 age range Nevertheless, those "kids" were mimicking an intricate system of criminal hierarchy, prison slang and outlaw lifestyle of their respected elders - career criminals

Gopnik's main source of income was petty robbery. Bully some kid out of his lunch money, steal someone's flip-phone

The Russian pilots who were captured by the Ukrainian military in March 2022 have finally been exchanged after long negotiations. The Ukrainian side had for the longest time refused to exchange them. The Ukrainians were making outrageous demands and sabotaging the negotiations for over a year. I'm sure the deal was objectively extremely unfavorable. But... 14 months in hell... I don't even care who we had to give up for that. No man left behind

Something going boom in Odessa, presumably Shkolny airfield again. It's a major UAV hub for the Ukrainian army. Ukrainian air defences can't deal with the assault.

Hope it's true and not some April Fools' joke Tornado Battalion was SO bad that even the junta had no choice but to put them in prison. "Mujaheed" was convicted of a vast amount of war crimes during the Donbass War, including the rape of toddlers(!). He and his friends were released by Kiev in the first weeks of the war.

Guess we'll see if this is an isolated case or whether things will get hot in Syria again... Has anyone even attempted to explain what US troops are doing in Syria

14 different agreements and memorandums have been signed by Xi Jinping and Putin today, covering a wide range of topics, from science and commerce to industry and media. One of the documents states that both parties are determined to "provide strong mutual support in defending each other's fundamental interests, above all sovereignty, territorial integrity, security, and development"

Belarusian and Ukrainia nationalists blame the USSR for "russifying" them, while the Moldovans, on the contrary, blame the USSR for making a separate ethnicity out of them. It's quite funny. Image The abolition of the Moldovan language should be a disturbing precedent for Belarusian and Ukrainian nationalists. It turns out that the universally recognized language of one of the former Soviet Republics can very easily be declared a fiction via political decision.

Missile strikes currently occurring across Ukraine. Explosions reported from Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Nikolaev and other cities, sirens blaring everywhere. Seems to be a pretty large missile attack. Possibly SEAD.

How exactly does one use "human wave" tactics against a numerically superior enemy and also take fewer casualties than him. Also would to see a video of one of these "human wave" attacks. Surely there should be ample footage if it happens constantly?

So basically the Georgian parliament has voted for a law that would allow to establish at least a minimum of control over the flow of American money into the country's political system and in response they get called Putin puppets & Euromaidan 2: Electric Boogaloo kicks off >>

I genuinely don't understand what's so "special" about the Bryansk oblast attacks that there is so much "discourse" around them. It's not the worst thing the Ukrainians ever did. It's not the first time they targeted children. They have committed more and worse terrorist acts. Yes, we are dealing with a force that utilizes terrorist methods. That's nothing new. The Donbass War began with Ukrainian nationalists using "nomadic mortars" for indiscriminate attacks on civilians to make them regret opposing the Maidan coup. We KNOW what they are like.

it's not the first time they go to the border to wave a flag for two seconds, but this time they also killed civilians. i don't think there will be any political consequences, it's not really an "exceptional" event, but hopefully border security will be taken up a notch i don't remember which episode it was but i predicted them doing something like this many months ago, it will happen again, and their tactics will become ever more similar to what their salafi-chechen friends did in the 90s and 00s

There have been rumors about Ukraine planning to attack Transnistria (possibly together with Moldova/Romania) for basically as long as the war has been going on, but this time there seems to be a little more substance to the rumors. FWIW I still believe it's unlikely. Would be a huge escalation with unpredictable consequences, depending on who's involved and how. Pretty much impossible to reinforce Transnistria.

Some credible nuclear saber-rattling by Russia right now would actually be helpful in avoiding thermonuclear WW3. I wonder if it's just empty rhetoric or if they are somehow actually convinced that something becomes true just because they say it. Moscow's refusal to engage in (overwhelming, if need be) escalatory deterrence is part of what let the situation deteriorate to the point of war in the first place, and now it's making things worse.
