oh look the russian agents trying to influence the election are using #cryptocurrency (this is my not-shocked-at-all face)
also popular YouTube influencers Lauren Southern, Tim Pool, #LaurenChen, and one of Benny Johnson/Dave Rubin "unknowingly" agreed to work for Russia for large sums of money ($100,000 per youtube video or a few million/year): https://x.com/ariehkovler/status/1831413692409487766
in particular the russian agents seem to have moved money through #Lithuania and used #BitPay to buy domains. i wrote a bunch about the Lithuanian central bank's attempts to shut down Russian money last year; it's here (an US company Crypto[.]com is involved): https://cryptadamus.substack.com/p/cryptocom-or-crypto-dot-con

A face of resilience, when even amid terror Ukrainians manage to find a moment of beauty. Since the russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, 57,100 air raid alerts rang through the Ukrainain sky.

So #Putin offers us “peace” if we surrender four regions completely, including Kherson and Zaporizhe.
This is insane, since he wants #Ukraine to submit even two large cities #Russia doesn’t control.
We also have to promise not to join #NATO
This is not a peace offer, this is basically a demand for unconditional surrender. But my point is different.
Watch everybody in the coming days who say Russia wants peace. They are either idiots or russian assets.
Pls boost.

Good news: Save Ukraine managed to save two more children from the zaporizhia region. They successfully helped 16-year-old Dana and 17-year-old Arthur to leave the temporarily occupied territory. That's already 407 Ukrainian children we saved from the russians.

It's definitely not putin's war against #Ukraine but russia's war against Ukraine. While one person is leading this terror machine, millions of other people have the blood of Ukrainians on their hands.
Ukrainian youth today are mastering unusual yet highly necessary skills. We fight, we help others, we advocate for our country

re: #InfluencerGate
even if tim pool and benny johnson were just morons who had no idea they had become #russian assets (doubtful) the indictment is pretty clear that lauren chen is 100% a russian asset.
she's appeared on a who's who of right wing media: Fox News, BlazeTV, RT, OANN, #Newsmax, The Daily Wire, Rebel Media, #PragerU and The Rubin Report.
an interesting twist is that recently #LaurenChen had kind of gone batshit anti-trump. she also had a big "repeal the 19th amendment" phase. some folks are claiming that means she was a plant to damage the right. all i can think of is that KGB quote "our brand is chaos".
worth at least seeing Chen's anti-trump tweets: https://x.com/stclairashley/status/1831453510438998498

17,000 russian armored vehicles have been destroyed since the beginning of the full-scale invasion.
The BMP-1, one of the most common russian IFVs, is 6.7 meters in length. So, if we put all the destroyed vehicles in line, it's almost 114 km"

What’s Mandelson up to? Is this really Kier Starmer’s message to Europe, or is Mandelson an outlier with this?

EDIT & UPDATE - I’ve added the article using copy and paste here, because they sometimes disappear or change -
Peter Walker Senior political correspondent
Mon 3 Mar 2025 10.38 GMT
Peter Mandelson has been rebuffed for saying Volodymyr Zelenskyy should be more supportive of US peace efforts and that Ukraine should unilaterally call a ceasefire, with a UK defence minister saying this was “not government policy”.
The overnight comments by Lord Mandelson, the UK ambassador to Washington, were also criticised by opposition parties, with the Liberal Democrats saying Mandelson should not be “telling President Zelenskyy what to do”.
In an interview with ABC News, Mandelson, who was Keir Starmer’s choice to try to maintain ties with the second Donald Trump administration, said there was a need for a “very radical reset” after Trump and his vice-president, JD Vance, berated Zelenskyy in the Oval Office on Friday.
“The reset has to consist of the United States and Ukraine getting back on the same page, President Zelenskyy giving his unequivocal backing to the initiative that President Trump is taking to end the war and to bring a just and lasting peace to Ukraine,” Mandelson said.
“And the Europeans too, they need to back the calls for a ceasefire, and – by the way – I think that Ukraine should be the first to commit to a ceasefire and defy the Russians to follow.”
Asked whether this was government policy, Luke Pollard, the armed forces minister, replied: “No.” He told Sky News: “It’s certainly right that Ukrainians want peace. I think of all the people on our continent that want peace, the Ukrainians want it the most.
“But we’re still in discussions, diplomatic engagement with our European, US and Ukrainian friends as to the shape of that deal. It’s certainly right that the war could stop tomorrow if President Putin stopped his illegal and unprovoked aggression. He could stop this war.”
Asked if Mandelson had been incorrect with his comments, Pollard said: “That’s not government policy.”
Earlier, senior figures in the Lib Dems and Conservatives criticised Mandelson’s intervention. Ed Davey, the Lib Dem leader, tweeted: “What is Mandelson up to? You cannot square what the prime minister said this morning with this. What is the government’s actual position? Our man in DC should be securing US protection for our brave Ukrainian allies, not telling President Zelenskyy what to do.”
James Cleverly, a former Conservative foreign secretary, said: “The UK ambassador to Washington isn’t meant to communicate his own opinion, he is meant to communicate the UK government opinion. Lammy and Starmer need to grip this.”

New resolution to do something positive for the world every time I find myself enraged by "the news".
So far today I have joined a nature conservation organisation, donated money to #Ukraine and spent an hour researching wildflowers for a bare piece of ground nearby to attract solitary bees, hoverflies + other pollinators that I will finalise planting this spring.
At this rate the world will be a much better place by next Christmas.
And it turns out that it really does help.
“People Will Die”: The Trump Administration Said It Lifted Its Ban on Lifesaving Humanitarian Aid. That’s Not True.

Organizations that provide vital care for desperate and vulnerable people around the world have been forced to halt operations, turn away patients and lay off staff. “I’ve never seen anything that scares me as much as this,” one doctor said.
