Ukraine fired six U.S.-made ATACMS missiles at Russia's Bryansk region, Russia's Defense Ministry said Tuesday, days after U.S. President Joe Biden eased restrictions on Ukrainian use of American-made weapons in the war that has reached its 1,000-day milestone.
Ukraine claimed it hit a military weapons depot in Bryansk in the middle of the night, though it didn't specify what weapons it used. The Ukrainian General Staff said that multiple explosions and detonation were heard in the targeted area."

🇷🇺 Putin signs new Russian nuclear doctrine after Biden's arms decision for Ukraine

"Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country.
The signing of the doctrine, which says that any massive aerial attack on Russia could trigger a nuclear response, demonstrates Putin's readiness to tap the country's nuclear arsenal to force the West to back down as Moscow presses a slow-moving offensive in Ukraine."

"The news comes after Immigration Minister Marc Miller said last week that the federal government may be looking at boosting enforcement resources to crack down on irregular migrants who don’t leave Canada, and addressed the need for mutual enforcement of the Safe Third Country Agreement with the U.S.
The government has been pressed by opposition parties and provinces on its plan to add additional resources at the U.S.-Canada border in anticipation of a potential increase in people seeking to enter Canada from the U.S., where president-elect Donald Trump has vowed mass deportations."

This compelling narrative can only come from we the people. #Putin has been playing the long game, by first grooming #Trump, & then funding #FarRight #Fascists in the West, as a way to destabilise it from within.

#MAGA want exactly what Putin wants, & it's no coincidence. Trump was set to withdraw the #US from #NATO before his 2020 election defeat.

Now MAGA are back to complete the West's destruction, but this time with lessons learned from their first attempt.

Ukraine to receive $6 billion in US military aid before Trump's term begins, Pentagon confirms

When asked if the U.S. had enough weapons stockpiled to get shipments to Ukraine before Trump's inauguration, Deputy Pentagon Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said Washington was "confident" it could keep its commitments to Kyiv.

I'm Russian living in Russia. I was 5 when Putin was 'elected'. I'm 30 now. I know that feeling of hopelessness very well. You should never surrender. Autocrats of the world are counting on you being down and depoliticized because all of this. Don't give them an easy win. Always fight, no matter how bad situation seems.

Volkris,

"Both #Trump and #Harris are ridiculous candidates, ..."

Due to past exchanges,
I've really been (overly) patient with you. However, with that sentence, you've clearly outed yourself as a *Russian troll*, actively engaging in information warfare on behalf of the fascist #WarCriminal in the #Kremlin trying to undermine democracy, in particular in the #US.

Interview: “Save Us from Ourselves”: 3,000+ Israelis Call for International Pressure on Israel

"The lack of sanctions from other countries has allowed Israel to pursue war, abandon the hostages... ignore domestic opposition & persecute Palestinians... without real cost.

"Unfortunately, the majority of Israelis support the continuation of the war.... Change from within is not currently feasible.

"The state of Israel is on a suicidal path."
