Buryat communists have launched an election campaign using the slogans "When will the 'special military operation' end?" and "Peace to the world." Campaign videos featuring the slogan "Power to the people, peace to the world" were released by Bair Tsyrenov, a Communist Party candidate for the State Duma from Buryatia’s single-member constituency and a deputy of the republic’s People’s Khural. The videos are already being aired on local television. Could the communists become the accumulating force behind protest sentiment in Russia? Unlikely. These videos appear to be a local initiative. By the way, sociologists say United Russia’s actual approval rating is currently no more than 30%, and is more likely around 25-27%. This suggests that the Russian population is tired of the war. But so far, there are no signs that the system is beginning to collapse. Putin can easily rig these elections, intensify mobilization, put Russia’s economy further onto a war footing, and continue the military escalation.

For the second day in a row, everyone has been laughing at this video. Yesterday, Putin, dressed in military uniform, allegedly made a rare visit to the front line, to one of the auxiliary command posts. In reality, it was a film set inside a bunker. As we can see, they have a lot of props in that bunker: 😅 A camouflage net was hung inside the building. 😅 The flooring, lighting, and acoustics all look like those of a studio. I wonder how many times they rehearsed it?

Maduro declares a state of emergency and calls for mobilization, according to Venezuela’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Russia’s war has opened Pandora’s box. Conflicts are now waged through military means. A struggle for control over Venezuelan oil is underway. Will strikes on Venezuela affect Russia’s shadow fleet? Undoubtedly. "Venezuelan oil" plays a major role for the so-called shadow fleet. At one point, Rosneft (Sechin) invested large sums in Venezuela’s oil sector. In fact, the shadow transfer of part of the oil industry to the Russians was the price paid for preserving Maduro’s regime. Today, Russians mix Russian oil with Venezuelan oil, which is also sold through the shadow fleet, and market it as oil from third countries. If Trump succeeds in a rapid change of the Maduro regime, it will not stop but will complicate the operations of Russia’s shadow fleet. Everyone also remembers, after the defeats in Syria and Iran, that Russia does not really help its "partners." The only thing it can offer is asylum for those fleeing.

A missile strike (Flamingo missiles, most likely) was carried out on the Progress Rocket Space Centre in Russia's Samara, potentially hitting the main workshop. One of the goals of the strike is to disrupt the launches of the Russian Rassvet satellite system, which is called the "Russian Starlink" in Russia. The facility is engaged in the development, modernization, and operation of launch vehicles (specifically, the Soyuz-2 series). Soyuz-2 series rockets are used for the orbital deployment of the Rassvet satellite constellation (an analog of Starlink and OneWeb). The Savasleyka military air base in Nizhny Novgorod region, where MiG-31K aircraft - carriers of the Kinzhal aeroballistic missiles - are based, was also reportedly attacked. 📹: Samara

⚡️ Putin said the Poles forced Hitler to attack them in 1939. Hitler just wanted to "realize his plans" and Poland was "uncooperative" and "forced" Hitler to attack and start World War II, Putin said. So, 1939, late August. Hitler: Poland, we want to annex you, agree! Poland: We don't agree, we are a sovereign state and will remain so. Hitler: You force me to conquer you by force. I declare war against you. God knows, it's your fault! And Putin says: Hitler had no choice but to start with Poland. What do you think of this interview, dear Polish followers?
