This is explicitly the narrative everywhere right now that I'm seeing. Echoed everywhere ftom American politics to crypto Twitter, so clearly all of the Russian propaganda is on force.

I've also seen on twitter multiple accounts claiming countries are buying energy from China using Chinese currency and bypassing using reserve currency (US dollar), and this is going to destroy America.

I didn't think Chinese currency was all that valuable, so how is it possible to use it as a reserve currency?

I wonder if those are similar to the people who say that Gaddafi was about to destroy America forever with a new oil-purchasing reserve currency and that's why he was taken out, putting aside that the UK/France were the ones who wanted to intervene, not Obama.

I saw that one too at the same time American accounts with bad English grammar insisting France paid China with Yuan instead of dollars and this is the death of American domination.

I checked to see if Medveded's Twitter rant was posted here, but I didn't see it.

WHY WILL UKRAINE DISAPPEAR? BECAUSE NOBODY NEEDS IT

I never expected to see publicly declared genocide on a social media platform. Dima rants that nobody in the world needs Ukraine, including Ukraine, and the sooner it can be wiped off the face of the Earth, the better everyone else will be. I would like to know what inspired him to rant like that, other than the bottle permanently attached to his hand.

I really think it's just this indeed, alcoholism fuelling his attempts to re-/build reputation with the hardliners in the Kremlin circles.

Edit: To clarify though, posting screeds like this should make him responsible for their contents regardless of the purpose or the circumstances of his posting.

I wonder who he is trying to impress/get out of trouble with and if he posted this as a drunken tirade it's been online for hours and as the internet works, forever.

Drone strike on an oil tank farm in Sevastopol

The claim is a Ukrainian drone hit the tank farm. It's an impressive fire.

DETROIT (AP) — Police in Michigan say a woman vandalized two Detroit-area religious centers in hopes people would blame a Ukrainian militia.

The 35-year-old Clinton Township woman has been charged with spray-painting a Nazi symbol and the phrase “Azov” on a Royal Oak synagogue on April 28. She’s also been charged in a March 15 arson at a Scientology center in Farmington Hills, the Detroit Free Press reported.

Royal Oak Detective Dan Pelletier testified earlier this month that woman told him that she was trying to commit hate crimes that would be blamed on the Azov Regiment, a Ukrainian militia. Russian officials have repeatedly portrayed Azov as a Nazi formation.

Pelletier said the woman lived in Serbia for two years and returned to Michigan in March. Her family has said she was homeless and has threatened them. The detective said the woman told him that she was trying to commit hate crimes that would be blamed on Azov so people would become angry at U.S. involvement in the Ukraine-Russia war.

A judge in Royal Oak on Friday ordered the woman to undergo a competency evaluation. The woman’s attorney, Kerry Phillips, didn’t respond to an email from the Detroit Free Press seeking comment on the case.

Some really bizarre stuff happening in Detroit. Lots of Eastern European immigrants live there, especially Polish.

A "patriotic socialist/national bolshevik" who got internet-famous for that picture of his (now extremely creepy in hindsight) all-woman marching band of leftists parading with DPR and Z flags.

After being outed, he laid low for a few months, issued a not-apology, and is now active again. Happened to see his tweets tonight hyped by the guy who posted this piece of brilliance.

What are the chances all of this is an elaborate plan to make the Ukrainians blink? No sources seem to agree about anything that's happening and so far, it looks like nothing but videos and social media chatter.

0% chance. Prigozhin has been formally charged, its been reported on state media, Russians in a variety of sectors are loving terrified, in many places special forces have been called up.

Interesting development. That and Lukashenko flying to Moscow make it appear the Kremlin expects something to happen. Guess I will grab a drink and settle in.

Does anyone know what Lukashenko's jet is doing? They turned off the transponder when they flew over Russia and turned it on when they left. They are now over Turkey.

A strange 24 hours and very little change. Prigozhin gets a dacha in Belarus, Wagner is folded in with the rest of the Russian army, and Putin is still running everything. How much did this hurt Putin?

Lukashenko has played the role of peace broker between Ukraine and Russia in the past, but this time is weird. Has anyone even seen Prigozhin since yesterday when he was on the road to Moscow?

Looking at the video of the damaged bridge, the section that has dropped is dark fresh tarmac. I suspect it's the same section that was hit last time, which makes sense if you suspect they half-assed the repairs. They wouldn't tho, would they?

I recall from last fall that the Russians announced the bridge was only damaged superficially and they would have it up and running again soon. Considering how important the bridge is for supplying their troops it's a priority to get up and running again as quickly as possible.

Damaging the bridge even briefly cuts supplies to the Russian army. That gives the Ukrainians an advantage. There are already reports on Twitter the land route out of Crimea is backed up 25 km.

US Embassy in Belarus tells Americans in Belarus they should leave immediately. Lithuania, Poland, and Latvia closing border crossings is cited as the reason why.

Was it Ukrainians who bombed Belgorod? I'm seeing reports that the missiles that hit Belgorod were S300's bound for Kharkiv that didn't make it. There seem to be lots of conflicting stories.
