    U.S. Man Wanted for Child Pornography Possession Confirms Joining Russian Military

    Russia’s Defense Ministry on Monday published an interview with a former Massachusetts city councilman who is wanted in the United States on child pornography charges, an apparent confirmation of previous reports that he fled the U.S. and enlisted in the Russian army.

    Wilmer Puello-Mota, a former city councilman in Holyoke, Massachusetts, is believed to have fled the United States in January in violation of a court order while awaiting trial in Rhode Island for possession of child pornography.

    Puello-Mota soon resurfaced in Russian military videos showing the capture of the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka in February. Russian regional authorities in April published a video of what at the time appeared to be Puello-Mota inside an army enlistment office, but they identified him only as former U.S. soldier “Will.”

    Some very basic reading on the overall situation in the war on 3 fronts.

    I feel that Russia grinding in the east towards a key town is significant although there is no great detail on any of the 3 fronts. short article.

    "China continues to play on two fronts, remaining a cautious ally for #Russia but not seeking to sacrifice its global economic position for the sake of this friendship."

    This doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things, as completing this line is probably 10 years away anyway.

    His cons uency sees what state TV tells them to see, Putin might not be too happy, but this pipeline was 10 years away even if there were no sanctions. It's a non issue, more of a reflection that China can and will squeeze even more concessions out of Russia now.

    Ukraine launches 'one of largest ever' drone attacks on Moscow, mayor says

    Ukraine launched one of the largest ever drone attacks on Moscow on Wednesday, the city's mayor said, with Russian air defence units destroying at least 10 drones flying towards the capital.
    Some of the drones were destroyed over the city of Podolsk, Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said. The city in the Moscow region is some 38 kms (24 miles) south of the Kremlin.
    "The air defence systems of the defence ministry continue to repel enemy UAV (unmanned aerial vehicles) attacks," Sobyanin said on the Telegram messaging app at 4:43 a.m. (0143 GMT).
    "This is one of the largest attempts to attack Moscow using drones ever. We continue to monitor the situation."

    Northern Russia's Murmansk Region Targeted in Drone Attack

    ...
    Vysoky is located around 1,755 kilometers (1,091 miles) north of Russia's border with Ukraine.

    "Drones have been attacking the Murmansk region for four days," she added. "Because of the attacks, workers at the ANOF-3 plant and the Vostochny mine have been evacuated several times."

    No drone attacks have previously been reported in the Murmansk region since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine more than two years ago.

    If confirmed, Wednesday's reported drone downing would mark the furthest a Ukrainian drone has flown into Russian territory since the start of the war.

    Putin has never declared war on Ukraine.
    Its a special operation. Run by the military supposedly.
    But when Putin uses conscripts who are getting captured/slaughtered IN Russia BY Ukrainians, then all Putin has denied or hidden from the public gets out.
    And when this happens, and you are an authoritarian leader who has stayed in power via deception and always protected the public (a Public who follows the stringent rules of authoritarian), yet you grab their sons and send them to the frontline now situated IN RUSSIA instead of sending your real trained military men (many of whom have already died)...? Thats trouble for a thug, tyrannical, oppressor like Putin.

    Many Russians have the same type of symbolic sperm receptacles for Putin just like MAGA has REAL receptacles for Trump/Vance. And now Putin cant even protect his own territory and is grabbing and sending non military men untrained to their slaughter? Thats trouble for Putin. But Russians will readily swill Putin sperm just like MAGAs will for Trump/Vance, so lets see how this turns out.

    Amazing one man little man making one huge mistake can fk so many people. And Trump can make a deal 1 DAY with this guy. BS. Just like HealthCare. No Plan
    Folks, Trump has a Putin semen receptacle for his finest aged diet coke. This is who Trump wants to be. "Good Christians, you wont have to vote ANYMORE after I win this election!"

    Just how stupid are we... we got MAGAs drinking this regularly while this horror is on display? Thats comforting. Americans would vote for 25 years of Trump and family... ?
    Jesus. 25 years in power for Putin. And Trump states elections will end if... he is elected.
