Bulgaria stops delivering weapons to Ukraine - does it matter? According to Russian blog "Two Majors", not much. They analyze Bulgarian help and conclude it was mostly obsolete Soviet stuff and ammunition to it (NATO-incompatible). Ukraine needed it in 2022, but no longer (and Bulgaria has no more).
Remember when MAGA accounts were so certain Hormuz will be unblocked in a matter of days, a week tops - because The Master of the Deal will defeat the ayatollahs? How long ago it was? Are they still waiting?
Glenn Greenwald jumped on the AI-generated slop report on "Ukrainian biolabs", and he's asking: if they were regular labs, why they contained dangerous stuff? Is he playing dumb or he really never saw a scientific laboratory? They always contain hazardous stuff, solvents and gases to begin with.
Military blogger Saponkov is quoting someone from Crimea who says sales of bottled water are now limited to 3 l per customer. Quite painful, drinking tap water is not recommended. Sales of sugar and salt are technically limited, but neither is available. No fuel at all in Sevastopol.
I don't get the right-wing idiots obsession with "biolabs". Chemlabs, that's where the dangerous stuff is in any university! In a war of chemistry faculty vs biology faculty, the chemlab people can instantly poison / blow up the biolab people before they seed their Petri dishes.
In the immortal words of Hasan "Hasanabi" Piker, "Crimea river, blyat! A russian river!"
Why Russians don't rebel against Putin? It's the "good tzar, bad boyars" principle. Their society is based on hate. Students hate teachers, workers hate bosses, etc - up to the oligarchs. Everybody hate them, they hate each other, and everyone sees Tzar/Stalin/Putin as the only ally they got.
Recent Ukrainian successes can be attributed to one person, Robert "Magyaer" Brovdi. He was promoted chief of unmanned system barely over a year ago. At the time, Russian propaganda was portraying him as a fraudster. Russians who believed it are now dead or at best, stranded without fuel.
As always, Russia "invited" paid liars and traitors to their forum in St Petersburg. They promote their pre-scripted "coverage", but never mention the smoke in the background, because they were not yet briefed on how to talk about it. Comments on Xitter compensate for this, though.
