Homo Putinus is more of a traditionalist and has more resentment. He possesses more negative identity than positive. The USSR launched Gagarin into space, Putin launches only drones and missiles. ytali.com/2026/06/15/the-clo…

Putin has indeed made his choice and is not willing to back down: no truce, no peace agreement, no acknowledgment of economic problems—or any problems at all.newtimes.ru/articles/detail/…

I agree with Kasparov: we have no moral right to criticize Ukrainians

Unbelievable! This 22 yo kid’s book is on the NYT bestseller list!

To the best of my knowledge and assessment, Israel’s intelligence community stopped spying on U.S. soil and against American targets or individuals around the world following the Pollard affair in 1985. Period. Not Unit 8200. Not the Mossad and not the Shin Bet. Therefore, my understanding is that the recent reports are part of a campaign by elements within the administration to blame Netanyahu and Israeli intelligence for the unsuccessful war against Iran. This is the background to the leaks claiming that Netanyahu and Mossad chief Dedi Barnea pushed Trump toward war and convinced him there was a chance their plan to overthrow the regime would succeed. Other leaks claimed that the U.S. fired more missiles in defense of Israel than for its own defense, thereby depleting its missile and interceptor stockpiles. Another leak described an allegedly bizarre Mossad plan to install Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the next leader if the IDF, Mossad, and the Americans succeeded in toppling the clerical regime. Indeed, Bibi, Barnea, and his deputy “E,” whom the new Mossad head, Roman Gutfman removed in a swift move, formulated what is described here as an absurd plan intended to install none other than the “unhinged” Mahmoud Ahmadinejad - the Holocaust denier who called for Israel’s destruction and for developing nuclear weapons. But in the end, even noless than the cow (Israel) wanted to nurse, the calf (Trump) wanted to suckle. NBC and The New York Times, which published the report that a Pentagon assessment concluded Israel had recently been spying obsessively on the U.S., cite as evidence that the Shin Bet allegedly tried to listen in on Secret Service vehicles when they came to protect American officials in Israel. Maybe that happened. But I have no doubt that American intelligence agencies as well (the FBI, NSA, and Secret Service) monitor, track, and collect information on Unit 730 personnel when they are protecting Israeli officials visiting the United States on official trips. It is also possible that Unit 8200 intercepts conversations taking place, for example, in Pakistan between Iran and the United States. If successful, it would naturally gain an understanding of the broader situation. But the target would not be Witkoff, Kushner, or other Americans rather, Iranian and Pakistani representatives. In any case, facts and truth are already becoming less relevant. What matters is that the administration is turning the Israeli government and Israeli intelligence into scapegoats for the strategic failure of the war.

Ukrainian long-range drones reportedly penetrated deep into Russian territory and struck facilities housing valuable MiG-31 interceptor aircraft. Multiple hangars were destroyed, massive fires erupted across the base, and several aircraft were reportedly destroyed or severely damaged. The MiG-31 serves as a critical launch platform for Russia's Kinzhal hypersonic missile system, making the losses particularly costly for Moscow. The strike is expected to reduce Russia's ability to conduct long-range missile attacks and highlights Ukraine's growing capability to reach strategic military targets far behind the front lines. Satellite imagery circulating online appears to show extensive destruction, burning infrastructure, and collapsed aircraft shelters. Russian authorities have yet to provide an official assessment of the damage. A bold deep-strike operation that demonstrates Ukraine's expanding reach and delivers a costly setback to Russian military aviation.

В день 50-летия Алексея Навального люди приносят цветы к могиле убитого политика, чтобы почтить его память У могилы Навального на Борисовском кладбище проходит панихида. На нее пришли родители оппозиционера Людмила и Анатолий Навальные. Люди оставляют на могиле цветы и памятные записки. По информации RusNews, на входе в кладбище установлен контроль: сотрудники досматривают сумки и личные вещи посетителей с помощью ручного металлодетектора. Видео, фото: RusNews, SotaVision

Не сдаваться, не боятся — это главное наследие Навального— политика. Ему не было равных — ни его политическому таланту, ни его мужеству. Это качества индивидуальные, они не передаются по наследству или организационно, это как звезда — можно за ней идти, но поймать ее свет не получится. Он был нашей надеждой. Спасибо ему, что был

4 June. Alexei Navalny's birthday.

Kyiv suffered another heavy Russian missile and drone attack overnight. Numerous buildings damaged or destroyed. Mayor Vitali Klitschko says 4 people killed, 58 injured in the Ukrainian capital, 40 of which were hospitalized. Those figures are likely to rise over the day as emergency service workers clear rubble. The bombardment comes 10 days after the last major assault on Kyiv — and amid persistent threats from Moscow of more attacks. President Zelenskyy has pleaded with the US and others partners to help it secure more Patriot air defense systems and munitions capable of downing Russia’s ballistic missiles.

🆘 DON’T LOOK AWAY 🆘 The Islamic regime is going to hang Diana Taherabadi because she participated in the January protests. She’s only 16. This is pure barbarism. Share this before they kill her. #IranMassacre #StopExecutionsInIran

I could not be more proud by being invited to the first book party written by the 21 yo Theo Baker, a super talented son of Susan Glasser @sbg1 of the New Yorker and @peterbakernyt of the NYT. I have known Theo since he was a kid, still in middle school. As a freshman at Stanford, he conducted an explosive investigation on the then-President of Stanford University. The latter shortly resigned. Theo wrote an excellent and courageous piece on antisemitism on campus, published in the @Atlantic inviting bullying on himself by Hamas supporters at Stanford. His book is about to evolve into a movie. Gosh, I’d die to work for Theo Baker @theobaker when he becomes an editor. Go, kid, go!

Осло! Скандинавия! Европа! С 1 по 17 июня — моя большая сольная выставка про Алексея Навального. Приходите, приезжайте и прилетайте! Официальное открытие — 4 июня, в день 50-летия Алексея. Я буду водить экскурсии, рассказывать байки и всячески вспоминать Навального. До встречи!

A Palestinian terrorist confesses what him and his father did to an Israeli woman on October 7th “My father raped her, then I did and then my cousin did and then we left but my father killed the woman after we finished raping her”

Do not look away. The newspaper article on report detailing rape and other forms of sexual assault by Hamas terrorists on October 7, 2023 is a horrible read, but the report itself, thoroughly documenting the Hamas crimes, is far worse: civilc.org/silenced-no-more.
