At the 1994 Winter Olympics, Oksana Baiul became independent Ukraine's first Olympic champion. She received a gold medal in the ladies' singles figure skating event, denying Russia a sweep of the figure skating events.

I appreciate the handwringing by Western commentators, but everyone should take a second to appreciate how Venezuelans inside and outside Venezuela are reacting.

The moment Glenn Greenwald is confronted over his pro-Kremlin lies about Ukraine, he starts incoherently screaming. An absolute must-watch.

In honor of Eurovision today, please enjoy Georgia's 2009 submission "We Don't Want to Put In" (We Don't Want Putin), which was disqualified after judges figured out the chorus was calling for Putin's assassination.

JUST NOW: The Syrian opposition is releasing anti-Assad political prisoners en masse as they expand control in Aleppo city. Look at the sheer number of young women fleeing. Absolutely shocking.

The last time we saw Free Syrians celebrate like this was after Raisi's helicopter crash — but the reaction to Nasrallah tonight is even more energetic. Raisi celebration on the left, Nasrallah on the right.

Russia and Assad just dropped white phosphorus on residential neighborhoods in Idlib. The international community is nowhere to be found of course, because it's Syria.

Circassians were genocided to near-extinction in the 1800s by Russia. Syrian-Circassians, myself included, are the descendants of that generation. Today, they celebrate freedom from Assad and Russia with the Free Syrian and Circassian flags.

The Houthis just blew up several homes in Al-Bayda while civilians were STILL INSIDE. Multiple reported dead and others buried under the rubble alive. Houthi fighters can be heard yelling "death to America" while a dog whimpers in fear nearby. Absolutely psychotic stuff.

ZELENSKY: Syria deserves the strongest support from the international community. Even while his own country is still being bombarded as we speak, Zelensky takes a moment to advocate for the Syrian people. 🇸🇾🇺🇦

TRUMP: "We have an interesting deal with Japan, that we have to protect them, but they don't have to protect us.... who makes these deals?" The United States! After we literally wrote in a pacifist clause into the Japanese Constitution and neutered their military!

Insane situation just unfolded in Syria. This man was found disoriented in a local village, released from one of the prisons. Immediately, people thought he was missing US journalist Austin Tice — turns out he was an American kidnapped in Syria that we didn't even know about.

An American-themed bar in the heart of Damascus is in full operation this weekend. Alcohol flowing, men and women dancing together. The owner says his interaction with HTS authorities has been positive, and that they didn't interfere with the bar's activities.

It is genuinely astonishing that Kat Abughazeleh, a leftist outsider candidate, is able to better communicate US-Taiwan policy (she cites the Shanghai Communique, TRA, etc. here) than AOC, who is a literal member of Congress. Listen to this clip and compare to AOC at Munich.

You and a bunch of other privileged westerners flew to party, stay in a five star hotel, and support the dictatorship in Cuba, where the average person makes 50 cents a day and doesn't have even basic civil liberties. That's not a narrative, that's literally what happened.

In 2015, Hezbollah fighters alongside Assad forces besieged the Syrian town of Madaya, home to 42,000. They placed a total blockade on food. Dozens died of starvation. When aid workers finally entered, they saw "walking skeletons."

Mearsheimer: The Russophobia in the West is so powerful at this point in time. Goes on to say that Russia has "won this war" and that Ukraine and NATO are responsible for the conflict because of NATO expansion. Quite literally a Russian Foreign Ministry readout.

Very clear evidence of a pro-Maduro bot net: hundreds of accounts posing as Venezuelans, copy and pasting the same tweets and images. The only question is who exactly is sponsoring this.

Moscow is using social media to lure destitute Nepalese men to fight for Russia in Ukraine with the promise of large sums of money, which they hoped to be able to send to their home villages. Absolutely wild.
