15 rules of Russian disinformation
1. Deny it
2. Accuse others of what you do yourself
3. Demonize your victim
4. Practice the victim role, even if you are clearly the perpetrator
5. Know your target audiences
6. When unable to convince, confuse
7. Spread not just one but many lies to create as much confusion as possible
8. Motivate others to spread your lies
9. Ridiculous propaganda helps make your more subtle lies appear more legitimate
10. If it gets tough to deny, use whataboutism
11. Amplify all voices that support your narratives
12. Repeat your narratives as many times as possible so that your audience can parrot them
13. Be aware that less informed people are more vulnerable to disinformation
14. When your fabricated content triggers emotions, people will spread it even more
15. Make your audience feel special, in the sense that they are well-informed, while others are just "decadent Western sheep

Sounds like the Trump playbook as well.

With the destruction of 60 000 tonnes of grain which was purportedly intended for China, fuckwit Russians continue in trying to woo their allies

Another destroyed agricultural facility near Odessa, this one contained peas and barley. Now RU openly admitting that they will try to use global famine as a blackmail weapon to get they way, WTF more is needed for the UN to get off its collective arse and move to get RU out of the Security Council?

Girkin has been arrested.
As if "extremism" isn't a desirable trait in Russia - but has to be the right brand of extremism I guess

They haven't wasted time apparently on niceties, already said to be in court, Could they throw him to the wolves by offering him up to the ICC for some removal of sanctions?

No, it would set a dangerous precedent.

Girkin was sent to a pre-trial detention center for 2 months by a decision of a Russian court.
The reason called by the Russian court - "the statements about the possible surrender of the Crimea (he called it treason) and the words about the lack of payments among the military."
Sure. 50 quid a bag in the hold, a tenner to use the khazi, staphylococcus on the seats and the ugliest staff on any commercial airline, bar none.

And a few days ago he was saying he'd support UA in their efforts to keep grain shipments running...

This is interesting, a possible pointer to quieten and tone down some of the most inflammatory content in the RU media and elsewhere. Maybe a sign that they have to change the narrative as it's beginning to work against themselves and the leadership in particular? "The report forecasts an erosion of confidence in the government. "

Tucker really is a cunt. Doing the unbelievable, and making Pence look the reasonable adult in the room.
From minute 13 onwards.
I'm kind of curious, but I also don't want to give Tucker the view, so I'll wait for a write-up or copied upload thanks.
He says that we shouldn’t be helping Ukraine anymore because they have been arresting Ukrainian orthodox priests. He’s saying that the Ukrainians aren’t the bastion of freedom they’re being made out to be and that they’re arresting these priests because “they have a different opinion”.
To be fair to pence, he tells tucker that he’s been out there twice and what putin is doing is evil. And America should help fight evil.
All of that’s a paraphrase, it doesn’t portray the sheer indignation in tucker’s voice throughout. It’s worth a watch. Tucker won’t benefit from 1 more view.

They're both freaky as fuck, tbf. Carlson tried repeatedly to spin as FACT his bullshit that Ukrainian Christians are being persecuted, but didn't get the answers he wanted from Michael the Pious. Poor old Tucker, so easily dismissed by someone who calls his wife Mother and spent five years of his life staring lovingly at the back of Donald Trump's head.

The entire Russian line south of Bakhmut looks like it's going to collapse.

Reports now that AFU control half of Klishchiivka and the mobiks in the village have abandoned their positions without orders leaving the BARS and professional regulars on their own.
The obliteration of russian artillery was always eventually going to hurt. For a couple of months now they've been knocking out approx 30-40 systems a day.
