17-Year-Old Adelia Petrosyan Crowned Champion, Winning Back-To-Back Russian Figure Skating Championships 🇦🇲 ➖➖➖ 17-year-old Russian-Armenian figure skater Adelia Petrosyan has won the title of Russian Champion for the second year in a row following an outstanding performance at the 2025 Russian Figure Skating Championships in Omsk, Russia, once again showing her dominance in women’s single skating. The Senior Championships were held in Omsk from December 18 to 22, 2024. Now a two-time Russian champion, Petrosyan scored an impressive 262.92 points across the short and free programs, a remarkable improvement from last year’s winning score of 246.53 points, where she also secured the same title. Daria Sadkova earned the silver medal with 234.69 points, while Alina Gorbacheva rounded out the podium in third place, scoring 223.92 points. A Nerve-Wracking Victory She admitted to being nervous before her free skate, saying: “I thought I was going to die… My legs were shaking, I was very worried.” She revealed that messages of support from her coaches, mother, and grandmother played a crucial role in helping her gather her strength. “I think I prayed five times. When I went out on the ice, I thought I would relax, but I started to get more nervous. I looked at the audience, calmed down a bit, and after the triple Axel, I said to myself, ‘It turned out well, do it again,’” Petrosyan said. Her perseverance paid off as she delivered flawless performances in both programs, solidifying her status as one of the brightest talents in Russian figure skating. Expert Praise Petrosyan trains under the guidance of renowned Russian figure skating coach Eteri Tutberidze, whose expertise has shaped numerous champions and further propelled Adelia’s promising career. Two-time Olympic champion and current coach Evgeni Plushenko praised Petrosyan, calling her the best in Russia while also acknowledging the unpredictability of women’s figure skating. Plushenko told RIA Novosti: “Adelia skates very beautifully, and her technical component is also at a good level. Today she is undoubtedly the strongest figure skater in Russia, but when it comes to women, surprises cannot be ruled out.” Gratitude and Triumph Following her victory, Petrosyan expressed gratitude to her coaches, parents, fans, and the Russian Figure Skating Federation for their unwavering support. “I’m extremely happy because I’ve achieved my goal,” she said, adding that the win was a collective effort of everyone who stood by her side. The Road Ahead In related news, the International Skating Union (ISU) has announced that Russian figure skaters will be allowed to participate as neutrals in the 2026 Olympic Games selection process. This decision provides an opportunity for Petrosyan and her peers to showcase their talents on the global stage despite ongoing restrictions. As Petrosyan continues to break records and inspire with her resilience and skill, all eyes will be on her as she aims for even greater achievements in the years to come. #AdeliaPetrosyan #FigureSkating #RussianChampionship #TripleAxel

Limiting the size of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to 800,000 troops is acceptable for Ukraine, AFU's Commander-in-Chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, said. "It really guarantees repelling armed aggression in case of its resumption. This figure also guarantees a planned mobilization process. At first, we were offered to reduce the number of our servicemen to 600,000. But we are satisfied with the figure of 800,000," he said in an interview with Channel 24. Other statements by the Commander-in-Chief: ◾️ Russia planned to fully achieve all the goals of the so-called 'SMO' this year. The plans were grandiose. But we can now state that they did not come to fruition; they were thwarted. The enemy suffered enormous losses. ◾️ We see a change in the structure of the war and its rise to a higher technological level. We observe that the war has become so technologically advanced that drones of all types now dominate the battlefield. Their quantity and quality have increased. ◾️ Russians planned to form 14 new divisions this year. They only managed to form 7, with two marine divisions consisting of only one regiment. They were forced to take these divisions' personnel and redistribute them into battle units. This confirms that they really do have problems recruiting people. ◾️ I recently met with the Chief of the Defense Staff of the UK and the Chief of the General Staff of France. So, the vector has changed. We are being asked to help train their armies and their units. I believe this is the highest praise, when it is no longer us asking, but others turning to us. I am told that we are the first in Europe, and probably in the world. ◾️ Some people are shouting about the insane advance of Russian troops deep into [Ukrainian] territory. Insane advance... Is 4.5 kilometers a month an insane advance, when the enemy pays for it every day with thousands of the lives of its soldiers? ◾️ A contract system has been developed whereby a serviceman who signs a contract with very flexible terms will receive a decent money allowance. It is at least three times higher than the current established level. At the same time, additional payments, bonuses, and financial support will be preserved. ◾️ The mission of our Armed Forces remains unchanged: to defend our homeland, its territory and borders, and to destroy the enemy.

For my generation it was Mary Lou Retton.... For this generation it's Alysa Liu! Congrats Olympian🥇 🇺🇸 THE UNKNOWN STORY BEHIND THE GOLD — ALYSA LIU WRITES HER OWN AMERICAN LEGEND 🇺🇸 Tonight wasn’t just a medal ceremony. It was a moment the whole country will remember. At the 2026 Winter Olympics, 20‑year‑old Alysa Liu skated like fire and ice — a performance burning with joy, precision, and pure heart — and captured Olympic gold in women’s figure skating, the first American woman to do so in 24 years. 🥇🔥 She didn’t just skate. She soared. Under the Milano lights, every triple jump, every graceful spin, every breath she took spoke of resilience and comeback. The score flashed gold and America exhaled — from coast to coast. This wasn’t just athletic triumph — it was personal triumph. Liu’s story didn’t start at the Olympics. She became the youngest U.S. national champion at 13, and she was the first American woman to land multiple difficult jumps early in her career. After competing at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, she walked away from the sport at just 16, seeking balance and life outside relentless training. She lived that life. She went to UCLA. She climbed mountains with friends. She rediscovered joy. Then she came back — on her own terms — to chase something bigger than medals: love for the sport. And she didn’t just return — she dominated. In 2025 she became World Champion, breaking a nearly two‑decade drought for U.S. women. Tonight, Alysa didn’t simply win gold. She showed the world that champions aren’t defined by uninterrupted success — they’re defined by resilience, happiness, and purpose. She skated not for expectation… but for joy. That’s the American dream in motion — bold, unapologetic, beautiful. 🇺🇸✨ Alysa Liu — you didn’t just win for yourself. You won for everyone who believed in second chances. You won for every dream that once felt too heavy. You won for the USA. 🇺🇸💫

Admin Post: My butt is sore from the 7 hour drive through the mountains to a dog show. I feel incredibly unprepared and am wondering why I thought this was a good idea. This was actually supposed to be part of the journey to take my dog Kuno's ashes to the ocean, but I decided that with moving into the house, it wasn't the right time to go away that long. I'm not physically or mentally prepared for that much driving right now. I'm pretty worn out with the move and there's still a lot to do. So I decided to just do this show for now, and I can take his ashes next month. I probably would have skipped this show, but entry fees aren't refundable, and I have a friend that entered her dog and booked an Airbnb to do the show with me. So here we are! The drive through the mountains was beautiful but I caught myself wishing I was able to walk so I could take Chesnyy hiking in nature. I have to be careful not to go to far into that kind of thinking. It's easy to start focusing on what I can't do and start to feel really crappy. Instead I focus on the fact that me, a double amputee with chronic health conditions, and my rottweiler drove further from home than I've been since becoming a wheelchair user. And we're going to compete in our first outdoor rally obedience trials! We didn't make it in time for the practice rounds, but we did a little training and she was good. I don't have big expectations this weekend. With everything that's been going on I haven't put in nearly the amount of time training that I should have. I haven't even worked her over jumps outdoors or on grass! Grass means there's things to sniff, so that might be an issue. I also found myself really struggling to back up the wheelchair. The grass was just long enough that the castors didn't want to turn around. But we'll figure it out. For now, we need to sleep. Our first class is at 8 and she's going to need exercise first! Hopefully by morning my butt feels better! Video description for inclusivity: Chesnyy the Servicerottie doing heel work in a grass field beside her handler, a woman in a power wheelchair

Valieva’s doping story makes perfect sense if you’ve never trained seriously. So what actually happened? A minimal amount of trimetazidine was found in her sample. It is a substance that can potentially increase endurance. Tennis player Jannik Sinner tested positive for a banned substance. A horse ridden by a Swiss athlete also tested positive. That is why commissions exist. They decide whether a disqualification is justified. In Sinner’s case, the explanation was that the substance entered his system through a massage treatment. Fine, it happens. In the German rider’s case, wait for it, the story was that a driver who had been taking the substance basically pissed it into the hay and that is how it got into the horse. Cleared. In Valieva’s case, despite the extremely minimal amount detected, similar in scale to Sinner’s, and despite the fact that it does not improve jumps, she received the longest ban. Try it yourself. First spin in the air or run without coffee. Then drink coffee and do it again. Did you run with more energy? Maybe. Did your rotations suddenly get better? No. Figure skating is not a cyclical endurance sport like triathlon. Jumps require coordination, technique, control of the vertical axis, and natural rotational ability. If you do not have an axis, no matter how much energy you have, you will simply be thrown off to the side. If you try to jump 100 times hoping to improve them, bad news. You will just lock in your mistakes. Valieva also has artistry. That does not mean smiling. It is work through the torso, arms, back, plus clean lines and turnout. When we talk about line, we mean geometry. The relationship between arms, legs, hands, and head. Straight knees, pointed feet, extended fingers, fully finished positions. All these body parts work together to express an image, passion, sadness, joy, innocence. Valieva had preparatory ballet training. That creates a completely different level of expressiveness. The ability to control the torso also gives more control in technique and helps with technical elements. What we see on the ice is a full package built through work in every direction. So this whole PR campaign, which I am sure is paid for, selling the idea that smiling on the ice is the standard of “proper” skating, is a substitution of concepts. Guys, Alysa scored fewer points than the bronze medalist of the previous Olympic Games. Who are they trying to fool? Stories for naive people about how she did not need the gold medal do not match the millions and the photo sessions with that medal. Did not need it? Then give it to the one who was crying. Their claims go as following: Why chase new records? Why stretch your back and legs, why spend years in ballet training? None of that is necessary because we cannot do it. We can smile. So that must be the “right” approach to sport. But that’s an absurd. Another fact that Alysa is half Chinese, and that in men’s skating the American Malinin, who is ethnically Russian (and a brilliant skater), was supposed to win, only adds more questions. So yes, endless manipulation, propaganda, PR campaigns, smear campaigns, corruption in sports, the arts, and beyond, this is also a war on an invisible front. Be informed and do not fall for it.

🎥 Below is a condensed transcript of Channel 4’s Lindsey Hilsum interviewing Sudan’s Prime Minister Kamil Idris at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday, February 14, 2026. —— Lindsey Hilsum: Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to this session on the devastating three-year war in Sudan. I’m grateful to the Munich Security Conference for putting this on the main stage. This war matters. Fourteen million displaced. Thirty million needing aid. Seven million facing famine. This war is spreading. It is not stopping. Humanitarian aid is vital, but we need to stop the war. Let me welcome Kamil Idris, Prime Minister of Sudan. Mr. Idris was appointed last year by the Transitional Sovereignty Council of the Sudanese Armed Forces. Not all countries recognize him as Prime Minister, but he is a key figure in any potential peace process. Mr. Idris, there are multiple peace initiatives underway. One — the Peace Roadmap you presented to the UN — appeared to require the Rapid Support Forces to surrender completely. How does that work as a peace process? ⸻ Kamil Idris: Thank you. Good evening. Please allow me to establish six important points. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: Three. ⸻ Kamil Idris: Six. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: There’s no way that’s going to happen. ⸻ Kamil Idris: I will be brief. Sudan is a historic nation, an ancient civilization. I commend the tripartite peace initiative led by President Donald Trump, President El-Sisi of Egypt, and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman of Saudi Arabia. We thank them for their efforts. We have also launched our own Sudanese UN peace initiative, presented before the Security Council. It complements those efforts. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: Your proposal involves the other side surrendering territory and going into camps to be vetted. Where is the compromise? You make peace with your enemy, not your friend. ⸻ Kamil Idris: This initiative restores one authority, one nation, one country. Its core is protection of civilians and the rule of law. A ceasefire alone is not a solution. A truce without complementary arrangements — DDR, relocation of militias — will fail. These are not militias. These are mercenaries. Many are from Colombia, Ukraine and elsewhere. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: What about the United Arab Emirates? ⸻ Kamil Idris: The UAE must stop providing weapons and assistance to these mercenaries. Once that stops, we can enter serious talks with them. We have evidence beyond reasonable doubt from UN bodies and respected institutions. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: Have you spoken to the Rapid Support Forces? ⸻ Kamil Idris: The RSF as it was established has been dissolved. What remains is a combination of militias and mercenaries. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: If you deny your enemy exists, who do you make peace with? ⸻ Kamil Idris: We are fighting mercenaries. This is a threat to international peace. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: What about the United Arab Emirates? ⸻ Kamil Idris: The UAE must stop providing weapons and assistance to these mercenaries. Once they stop, we can enter serious talks. We have evidence beyond reasonable doubt from UN bodies and respected institutions. ⸻ Philippe Bolopion, Human Rights Watch: We recognize the RSF has committed atrocities. But there is also evidence that your forces have committed serious violations, including indiscriminate bombing. What are you doing to ensure your troops are not committing abuses? ⸻ Kamil Idris: These are war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by armed forces attacking national institutions. The Sudanese army is acting in self-defense under constitutional obligation to defend the country and its people. The atrocities committed go beyond the description of words. If I were negotiating with the ICC, I would upgrade the classification of these crimes. ⸻ Lindsey Hilsum: Mr. Idris, time has gone quickly. Thank you.

Last week we had the biggest one-day MRR gain in Every's history. It came from launching All Access—a 625-dollar-a-year membership that added about 9,000 dollars in MRR for Every 🪨 in two days. On this week's AI&I, I handed the mic to our COO Brandon Gell, who sat down with three of Every 🪨's own builders—growth engineer Yash Poojary, head of growth Austin Tedesco, and head of marketing Douglas Brundage—to talk about the tools they use most, how they build with them, and their tips for new builders on getting started. They also got into: - How Austin runs two agents at once. While steering Codex on one task, Austin—who calls himself "actually really bad" at video editing—has Claude running in a separate loop with Descript's MCP, building storyboards, writing scripts, and assembling cuts. By the time he sits down to review, it's gotten him 70% of the way to a finished video. - Why Yash treats new AI models like flavors he’s testing. He uses Cursor's cloud agents to run multiple models side by side and figure out which one he prefers, rather than switching to whatever's newest. "I'm so picky about my models that even if a new model drops, I don't change to that," he says, unless testing proves it's better. - Why Brandon thinks the real barrier to building isn't always skill, it's cost. He tells the story of a friend's younger brother, a trained engineer who can't land a job and can't afford to experiment with AI tools that cost other engineers $30K a month. That gap is the whole reason the Builder Pack exists. - Why the team feels safe automating their own jobs. Yash says everyone at Every is secure enough in their skills that automating the repetitive parts of their work doesn't feel threatening, it just clears space for the parts they're good at and enjoy doing. If you want to get started with building, or simply get more ideas on how to work with AI, this episode is for you. Watch on X or YouTube, or listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Timestamps: 0:00 Intro 0:35 All Access Explained 3:01 Yash's Tech Stack and How He's Automating Testing Pipelines 8:02 The Idea to Execution Loop 10:25 How an Agent Turned an Idea into $25K 17:50 The AI Sandwich Workflow 22:03 Making AI Tools Accessible to Solo Builders 28:50 Douglas on Brand and Design 34:51 Tips on What to Build First 43:46 What's Next for All Access

Disney released Snow White in 1937. 60 years later, they re-released it on video. 28 million copies sold. $250 million in profit. Steve Jobs watched his young son watch it 30, 40 times. “These stories renew themselves with each generation.” In 1996, one year after Toy Story, he spent 20 minutes explaining why he bought Pixar: On buying the dream: "I met Ed Catmull who was running the computer division of Lucasfilm in 1985." "He shared with me his dream about making the first computer animated feature film." "I bought into that dream both financially and spiritually." "It took us ten years to do that, but we did it." The result: Toy Story. Third most successful animated film ever made. On content vs technology: "You can hardly find an Apple II around anymore." "It's not clear whether you'll be able to boot up a Macintosh five years from now." "All these technology boxes and software, if it has a life of a year or two, you're very lucky. Five years is extraordinary." "Sooner or later, they all become part of the sedimentary layer." But stories? "I think people are going to be watching Toy Story in 60 years. Not because of the computer graphics, but because of the story about friendship." On work-for-hire: Pixar made commercials for years. Won every award in the book. Then Jobs did the math. "If Listerine sold more Listerine because of our commercials, we didn't make any more money for producing the commercials." "The margin in that business has been under pressure. More people coming in. Going down, and down, and down." "You work harder and harder to make the same amount of money." He pulled 25 people out of commercials. "We had 25 incredibly talented people doing work-for-hire when we have all these other opportunities where we own a piece of what we create." "Great people are hard to find. We couldn't afford to have 25 of them making commercials anymore." On blending two cultures: "The very best creative people will only go to work in a few places. Disney, Pixar, possibly DreamWorks." "The very best computer scientists in computer graphics will only go to work in a few places. Pixar is one of those." "Pixar is the only place in the world that can hire the best from both of these areas." "We worked for ten years to figure out a way to have them all work together. The Hollywood culture and the Silicon Valley culture are really different." On the hierarchy of power: "When you've got incredibly talented people that are rare and in-demand, if you don't treat them right, they can go get another job in 10 minutes." "So this strange thing happens. The hierarchy of power inverts." "The CEO is actually at the bottom." "I feel like I work for most of these people because they're the ones doing all the brilliant work." "It's management's job to support them because they're on the front lines doing the work." On contracts vs stock options: "Hollywood uses the stick, which is the contract. Silicon Valley uses the carrot, which is the stock option." "When you sign a contract with somebody, you can say, 'I don't have to worry about that person for five years.'" "If you're sophisticated, you'll have a little database that tickles you six months before their contract is up so you can start paying more attention to them." "They're the most important person in the world for six months. Then after they sign up again, you put them in the drawer." Pixar chose stock options. "Every single day, we worry about how to make Pixar a better company so that nobody will ever want to leave." "We don't take anybody for granted." On what Disney taught them: "When you make a live-action film, a director shoots ten to twenty-five times as much footage as will end up on the screen." "Walt Disney realized many decades ago that animation was so expensive that you couldn't afford to animate ten times more than what you need." "The only conclusion: you have to edit your film before you make it." "Working with Disney gave us access to that wisdom. You can't buy it for love or money." On the constant: "Ten years ago, when we made Luxo Jr., it took about three hours to render each frame." "Toy Story. Computers are hundreds of times faster. It still took three hours to render each frame." "The frames were a hundred times more complex." "Our ambitions, visually, are growing as fast as the technology can feed them." On story vs technology: "The art of storytelling is very old." "No amount of technology can turn a bad story into a good story." "That's our mantra at Pixar. It's the story, stupid." "I don't think storytelling has changed in a long time. And I'm not sure it will. I don't think it's something that technology has anything to do with."

I Encourage Everyone To Watch This First Hand Account From Journalist On Joe Rogan Who’s Actually Been To Gaza & Seen The Israel Palestine Situation First Hand “After being there man holy shit I feel like people have no idea that I didn't even know what the hell was going on until I went to Palestine and saw how crazy it was but what is it like tell me give me your thoughts on your so everyone mistakenly thinks that Hamas like controls Palestine that's not true at all there's there's three different areas that were drawn up with the original partition it's the West Bank which is totally under military rule by Israel and then there's the Gaza Strip which is like the open-air prison which they bomb the shit out of like every couple years and Hamas controls that area. And then there's Jerusalem, which is an international city center that both Arabs and Jews live in. But the West Bank has been occupied militarily since 1967 and its complete martial law. There's checkpoints, all political parties are illegal. You can't, having a gun is like the least of it. You can't hold a flag. You can't belong to a political party. You literally can't do shit. If you're a Palestinian, you just have to sit there and submit and if even if you share a photo of someone who was like killed by an Israeli soldier you go to jail and you go To jail for the amount of like months that yeah based on the shares and likes of the photo They'll they'll penalize you more and put you in prison for longer and longer I mean So if you put a photo on social media Like you put someone who died and they'll be like you're sharing a martyr and inciting people to like commit suicide Like on behalf of Palestinians you go to jail and they put them in jail. There's 99.7% conviction rate Kids are tortured, kids are in prison. It is absolutely insane. We went to, the first day that we were there, we went to a funeral of some guy, some farmer who was shot by Israeli forces, and we went to the funeral. It was horrible, you know, all the women are wailing and crying. And as we're leaving, the Israeli forces had set up a checkpoint right outside of this dude's house and started tear gassing and shooting rubber bullets like at people who were simply attending the funeral, just to punish people for attending the funeral. We went to another girl's house named Aya who got shot in the vagina for peacefully protesting at some protest and they shot two hundred people that day. One guy next to her died, another guy was paralyzed. They have a policy called shoot to cripple where they shoot guys in the dicks. Yeah. It is fucking nuts, man. The West Bank is no joke. I thought that I was going to die several times. We were at this checkpoint going through Calandia and there was this old man walking like clearly drunk or something and kind of like walking a little bit toward the check but they started shooting at him. Bullets are ricocheting off the thing and I you know my partner Mike who was an invading soldier of Iraq was just like we're gonna die like they're shooting this guy there's bullets ricocheting I it was absolutely insane and as we go through the checkpoint the soldiers like hey stay safe out there and I was like yeah when you guys are arbitrarily shooting people and and the person who was driving us had just told us that a couple months prior to that some woman, Palestinian woman, because you can't go to Jerusalem, like if you're Palestinian, there's like barely any Palestinians who are even allowed to go pray at the most holy site, the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. You can't go to the beach, you're just completely constricted in a prison, and you can't travel. And he was just telling us that months before we went through this checkpoint, someone was going through the checkpoint because they got a permit to go into Jerusalem, which is like a lifetime golden ticket, like Willy Wonka, and they're walking and they get, & she just got executed.” Watch the full video for more

Amjad Masad's first "business meeting" was getting caught hacking his own university: Before he built anything, Amjad was stuck. He was five, almost six years into a degree that should have taken three or four, watching everyone around him move on. "All my friends were graduating... And I feel like life is passing me by." The drive was already there. It just had no outlet. "I had all these big dreams and ambitions. I wanted to build companies, make a lot of money, all of that. But I was stuck." The thing standing between him and graduation wasn't his ability. He passed his classes, and did well in math and computer science. It was an attendance rule. Miss too many classes in a row and you'd be disqualified. A bureaucratic problem, not an intellectual one. So he treated it like an engineer, not a student: "I thought, okay, I'm going to hack into the school and change my grades." He spent two to three weeks in his parents' basement building the solution. Writing scripts, running network scans, probing the systems until he was in. He didn't cover his tracks and disappear. He told the school he had something to show them, walked into a room full of deans, and pitched: "I pulled out the whiteboard and explained all the different problems, all the systems they had and how I hacked into it and really pulled out all the stops and all the charisma to kind of try to impress them. And they were really impressed." That's the move. He turned a liability into a demonstration. The deans had stayed up all night trying to figure out what went wrong, and here was the one person who could explain it, selling them on his competence in the process. He almost overplayed it, assuming the presentation alone had settled things and reaching for the door: "Wait, where are you going? We've got to deal with you. You just hacked into the school. We can't let you go." What turned it around was a decision-maker who could tell the difference between a vandal and a builder. The university president didn't see a crime to punish; he saw talent to manage. "You have a great talent, great power, but with power comes responsibility." And then he made the offer that, in hindsight, looks a lot like Amjad Masad first job: "We're going to let you go, but you're going to have to spend the summer working for the university trying to fix the vulnerabilities and the security issues." The business lesson is in that final trade. Amjad created value the wrong way then proved he could create it the right way, and got hired to do exactly that. The skill that broke the system became the skill that secured it.

Pyotr Kurzin Pyotr Kurzin , host of The Global Gambit podcast, published an interesting interview with Peter Zeihan Peter Zeihan about Russia's war against Ukraine. I found it quite compelling, so I decided to share its main points: ▪️ "[Putin] has another seven million people he can mobilize if he wants to. Granted, that is the last generation of Russian men under 30. That obviously comes at a huge cost. But the Russians really have not put their shoulder into this war yet. They have tried to treat it as what they've said - a special military operation. We have not seen the full economy mobilized. We have not seen the industrial plants receive the investment necessary for a mass expansion. And we certainly haven't seen the population mobilized in a way past wars involving either the Soviets or the Russians have. We are starting to see that now. It is not risk-free. There's no guarantee they win this anymore. But to think there's going to be a political break in Russia without a significantly greater economic dislocation than we have seen so far is being over-optimistic." ▪️ "For the first time, we're actually seeing the Russians on a military economic footing. While that is, from the capitalistic point of view, wildly inefficient, that doesn't mean it can't work. It means that for the first time in 5 years, the Russians are actually fighting like this is a real war as opposed to something that's a sideshow. That does have consequences. It means we have to have, among other things, a full mobilization. But to say that that's going to break the system, I don't know if I buy that. It just puts stresses in different places." ▪️ "We have to have a much sharper break. And that means the apathy has to end. The best example I can give you is when Prigozhin led his rebellion. He marched his people 1,500 kilometers to Moscow. No regular military commanders joined him, and no regular military commanders tried to stop him. That really underlined just the huge degree of apathy in Russia, even among the security services, about what was going on. While that means it's really difficult for Putin to motivate people, it also means it's very difficult for Putin to be motivated against. Until we have a situation where we don't just have defectors on the front, but actually people shooting their commanders, I don't see Putin in significant domestic danger." ▪️ "Five years on, and Ukrainians are not simply still fighting, but they found new ways to give the Russians a bloody nose and actually change the mechanics on the ground. With the new military technology we've seen this year, that eight-to-one ratio is being achieved regularly. For the first time in this conflict, we are finally at an even fight. That doesn't mean the Ukrainians are going to win, but for the first time, they're not losing ground. And that matters immensely." ▪️ "The Ukrainians are trying to change the math of the war in a very intelligent way. The [drone] technology is innovative. Since the Ukrainians are launching hundreds of these a day, we're in a situation where the entire Russian system is running out of anti-aircraft capability. It changes the math because now the Russians have to defend every square inch and absolutely cannot. Putin has redirected air defenses to concentrate around a few specific areas, most notably Crimea and Moscow, and everything else is kind of open. What we've seen in just the last couple of weeks is that the mid-range strikes that the Ukrainians have been doing since March, basically destroying the logistical tail of the military forces within about 300 or 400 kilometers of the front, have had such an impact that the Ukrainians are actually able to go on the offensive in zones that are mined and win. For the first time, the Russians just can't get more drones, more men, more fuel, more food within the battle zone at all. And that's now affected their ability to hold the line." ▪️ "The amount of economic damage that the Ukrainians cause is really deeply immense. We've had over 140 attacks now on 'shadow fleet' tankers in the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea in just the last six weeks. We are looking at the end of Russia's ability to export through the Baltic or the Black Sea. Conservatively, that's three to four million barrels a day of oil and product. They'll still be able to use, for now, their Siberian export route, but collectively, rail and pipe there is less than a third of what goes west. Long-term impact. This is the end of Russia as a significant energy exporter. Once this physical infrastructure is destroyed, the wells will be shut in, and most of them are mature wells that require foreign technology for their development. The Russians will have to re-drill them, and they can't re-drill them until such time as the sanctions are gone. The Chinese don't have the technology." ▪️ "Strategically, there is no version of an independent Ukraine that can function unless Crimea is part of Ukraine, or at least neutral, because it commands the access to the rivers that are the lifeblood of the Ukrainian economy for their exports of steel and especially grains. And if the Russians control Crimea, they basically control the north half of the Black Sea and can project power west and south very easily. But that assumes that they can resupply Crimea successfully, which is no longer for sure. With the mid-range drone strikes, it basically turned Crimea into an island that the Russians can't support, which means it turns from a springboard into a sandbag. The Ukrainians don't need to make a push in order to drain the Russians. They're just forcing the Russians to use all of their logistical capacity to try to reach someplace that they really can't defend anymore. It's a good strategy." ▪️ "For the Ukrainians to win, they don't just need to get Crimea back. They need to make sure that the Russians lose the military capacity to threaten them. And that means neutralizing or occupying the two Russian cities that are the logistic hubs that enable the war - Belgorod and Rostov-on-Don. We're nowhere close to that right now. But if those two cities are removed from the equation, it's not just that Russia loses the ability to project power west; it loses the ability to project power into the Caucasus. And then you're talking about the entire southern rim of the Russian state falling. And all of those barriers are then completely up in the air, and the Russians are too far from all of them and can't defend any of their territory. And whatever vector a future threat comes in from, the Russians just can't deal with it at all." ▪️ "At this moment, it's a question of whether or not and how soon the Russians can copy what the Ukrainians are doing with drones against two other developments. Number one, the Russians are finally putting huge investments into their ballistic missile capabilities because that's a technology that the Ukrainians have no defense for. The first large numbers of those missiles will probably come online in about six months. That's about the same time that these joint facilities that the Ukrainians are building with the European NATO allies and a number of countries in the Persian Gulf will also come online. So, we're going to have many more Ukrainian memory drones at the same time we have many more Russian ballistic missiles. This war is changing month by month."

Tucker Carlson Drops Opening Monologue About Alex Jones: We have a ruling class in the United States defined by its hatreds. Not its loves, not its hopes, but by its hatreds. They hate all kinds of people, large groups of people: the deplorables, the bitter clingers, America's entire blue-collar population, the unfashionable people. They're hated by the people who run our country. But no one is hated more by them than a man called Alex Jones. Alex Jones is the single-most-censored man in all American history. He was the first media figure in our history to be completely erased in one day. Deplatformed. Alex Jones was deplatformed before it was a common term. And not just deplatformed — sued, attacked. They attempted to criminally charge him. What did Alex Jones do wrong? Alex Jones didn't rape anybody. He didn't loot Macy's. He didn't burn a police station. He didn't invent a fake cryptocurrency and loot pension funds. He didn't start a pointless war that made this country poorer and more disorganized. He didn't open the southern border. No. Alex Jones had opinions that deeply rattled the people who run America. In fact, rattled a lot of us. And I'll just confess that I first heard of Alex Jones when he questioned the official story behind 9/11. And I, speaking for myself, was deeply offended by this. I didn't take any time to find out what he was saying, but I was bothered by the idea that this defining event in American history, which changed the life of everyone who lived here then, might not actually have unfolded as we were told it did. And that possibility was too destabilizing. And I remember feeling resentment toward Alex Jones for saying that. But several years later, I went up in Austin, Texas, and through a chain of circumstances, wound up meeting Alex Jones. And I learned what everyone who has met him now knows, which is Alex Jones is not a crazy person. Alex Jones has said pretty far out things on TV from time to time. Not that far out. He hasn't said men can become women or Ukraine is a democracy. But within the bounds of, say, cable news, pretty far out. But fundamentally, Alex Jones is right about a lot of things. And, in fact, that's why they don't like him. Alex Jones has an uncanny, really an amazing ability to predict events before they happen. He has called it and he's done it on tape again and again, to the point where it's a meme on the Internet. "Alex Jones prophet," not conspiracy nut, prophet. But when you dig into Alex Jones's predictions, they are so spot-on that it's remarkable. How does he do this? We're guessing there's a kind of spiritual sensitivity to Alex Jones. Maybe that's his secret. He was displaying this years before the average person in this country even thought about matters like that. Now it's pretty obvious to most people that the current war going on in this country is taking place in ways you can't see it most of the time. But ten years ago, people were not thinking that way. Alex Jones was. And so, we thought it'd be interesting to sit down and talk to Alex Jones, the man. He joins us now in our studio.
