I don’t get the Jennifer Lawrence one

It's nonsensical. They're not pictures of Jennifer Lawrence. So the brain is in turmoil for a few seconds.
He was a religious fanatic trouble maker who deserved to die.

I respectfully disagree. I think they are probably getting a lot of traction from this. I bet a lot of people that see the tweet get inspired by it.

Putin’s decision to double down on his demands likely rests on the fact that the situation in the country remains relatively stable. For all the dramatic visuals of burning refineries and queues at gasoline stations, most Russians have seen worse in their lifetimes

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the country witnessed nationwide political upheaval, which was followed by two wars in Chechnya and multiple bloody terror attacks like the Dubrovka theatre and Beslan school sieges.

In terms of economic hardship, the vast majority of Russians are still enjoying a lifestyle comparable with that of poorer European Union countries and contrasting sharply with what they endured throughout the 1990s

The most crucial success that Ukraine has failed to achieve yet is stopping the Russian ground offensive. While Western media is trumpeting Moscow’s anticipated defeat, Russian troops are busy finalising the capture of Kostiantynivka, the first in a chain of industrial cities that form the northern Donbas agglomeration, the main prize of the current stage of the war.

It is apparent from official and expert Russian commentary that Russia sees the Ukrainian drone campaign primarily as a PR surge aimed at convincing US President Donald Trump to restart support for Ukraine

Below is a link to a good summary of the recent events in the Russian invasion.

quote:

Russian forces seized 2,190 square kilometres (845 square miles) of Ukraine in the first six months of 2025, compared with 622 sq km (240 sq miles) so far this year, the ISW said.

Zelenskyy has attributed Ukraine’s success this year to “a series of decisions” made last year to increase drone production and develop domestic long-range missiles.

Almost a year ago, during Putin’s meeting with US President Donald Trump in Alaska, they reportedly agreed to force Ukraine to hand over Donetsk.

Zelenskyy flatly refused when presented with the proposal.

In the intervening year, the military situation has changed dramatically, with Russia now on the back foot.

I agree.

But... it's the massive accumulation of wealth in the hands of a very few that bothers me. The middle class is being washed away.

It's tough to vote a sheriff out of office in Louisiana, even when everyone knows the sheriff is a dirtbag. Many thanks to Couvillion for taking a punch.
