- Day 811. Today, we discuss the latest reports from the battlefront as Russia seemingly focuses its attention on the Ukrainian city of Sumy. Then we consider the complex threads of geopolitics after a spate of shock deaths and assassination attempts. And we hear about the military and humanitarian situation in Kharkiv.

I don't see a problem with regulating foreign entities. (ex. I really do want all Chinese organizations in my country to be regulated and overseen) I think it wise. However, accusing your own citizens of being foreign agents subject to surveillance, prosecution, fines and jail would be government at war with its own people.
the impetus behind the law is that any significant foreign funding implies synergistic sympathies or similar ideological platforms
It's also based on a lie.
Organisations that they claim to be secret foreign agents are very transparent about any foreign funding they get.
How many years has Putin been in power how many years has he been sticking people in other people's governments attempting to take them down the world has been at war with our world since he became president
The recent upsurge of the threat of terrorism and challenges in the information space require the BRICS countries search for collective responses, Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said.
"The threat of terrorism, which has become very acute recently, as well as the growing challenges in the information space, stimulate the BRICS members to search for collective responses, including within the framework of specialized mechanisms created in this area," said Ryabkov at the opening of the BRICS Academic Forum.
Russia chairs BRICS in 2024. About 250 events are planned within the framework of its presidency, the centerpiece of which will be the summit in Kazan scheduled for October.
The BRICS group has seen two waves of expansion since its emergence in 2006. In 2011, South Africa joined the original membership, which included Brazil, Russia, India and China. In August 2023, six new members, including Argentina, were invited to join the association. Buenos Aires changed its mind in late December last year.
Five new-comers - Egypt, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Ethiopia began full-fledged work in BRICS on January 1, 2024.

The assassination attempt on Fico may intimidate both Fico and Orban into offering unwillingly more help and fall in line with the rest of EU. The assassin openly claimed that he tried to kill Fico for his role in Ukraine conflict. Simultaneously, news came up that FBI agents were authorised to use lethal force in Trupm's Mar Allago last year.

Can the long-range missiles be bought by the Ukrainians, at least on paper, so that they can use them as they like? There can then be a condition that they can only be used in defence (tick that box) and only for "Special Military Operations"..
No mention of the Russian on the helicopter.
The parallel universe this podcast exists in is an amazing place.
Russia should eff off and stop the stupid war!
Russia kicked off the first stage of nuclear exercises to test the use of non-strategic nuclear weapons in the Southern Military District. The exercises will be conducted with the participation of the Iskander missile system and Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, the Defence Ministry said.
The military practice training and combat tasks to receive special munitions for the Iskander operational-tactical missile system.
The aviation forces involved in the exercise practice the delivery of nuclear warheads to air-launched missiles, including hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. They also carry out sorties to designated patrol areas.
According to the Defence Ministry, the exercises are conducted "to maintain the readiness of personnel and equipment of non-strategic nuclear weapons combat units" to defend Russia's territorial integrity and sovereignty "in response to provocative statements and threats from certain Western officials."
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Russia command the drills. The Ministry of Defence announced the start of preparations for the exercises on May 6. The Kremlin did not disclose their timing.
The Pentagon saw no reason to change the readiness of the US nuclear forces against the background of Russia's exercises. The Pentagon believes that Moscow is not planning to use nuclear weapons.
Crimea was conquered from the tatars by the Russians. Odessa was built by Russians. Lenin created ‚Ukraine‘. Lenin was a Half-)3w.
How can it be that Russia has been losing heaps of men in meat waves for 2 years and yet it can still open up new front(s) to stretch the Ukraine army who have many less casualties? Surely, with the attacker needing 3x the defending force to have an impact this should not be possible.
And yet I see from war mapping channels that Russia is making incremental gains in several places from Robotyne to the new Kharkiv front.
Russians are poor fighters, but there are a lot of them. That is how it is possible.
@@dedrickbroussard9797 Which will be why Ukraine are looking to add 500,000 new recruits. Which is as many men as the UK, German, French and Italian armies all put together.
The Kremlin has an advantage in their ability to mobilise and recruit men.
The Russian federation also has the advantage of not having to defend its borders from a Ukrainian invasion. Ukraine, on the other hand, has to defend its borders from russian aggression including the Ukrainian-Belarus border, the Russian-Ukrainian Ukrainian border, the occupied areas, the blacksea coast and transnistria. Ukraine doesn't have the man power to defend all of its borders, while Russia can pick and choose where it concentrates its forces and attacks.
Russia also has the advantage of uncontested freedom of movement within the russian federation do to restrictions on the use of western weapon systems against targets inside Russian sovereign territory. While every part of Ukraine is vulnerable to russian drone and missile attacks
No such thing as meat waves attacks has ever been recorded in 2 years of war. That's all propaganda.
@@seanniemeyer5437 There was no mandatory mobilization in Russia, and conscripts cannot serve in a combat zone. Well, Ukraine shell Belgorod with cluster ammunition on civilian areas
Please stop pronouncing it like "Carkeev" and say it like "Harkeev". In Ukranian the letter Х in Харків translates to Kh in English but that doesn't mean it's pronounced like K. Sorry, it's just annoying for me as an Englishman who studies the Ukranian language
Preparation of Iskander and Kinzhal missiles, first stage of Russian exercises 2024
th-cam.com/video/A9ia0H8_mEo/w-d-xo.html
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that the first stage of the exercise has started in the Southern Military District in order to increase the readiness of non-strategic nuclear forces. The use of the Iskander and Kinzhal complexes is being practiced. As part of this stage of the exercises, missile formations are practicing the task of obtaining special ammunition for the Iskander missile system, equipping missiles with them and covertly moving into the designated launch area. The video shows the loading of the 9K728 cruise missile of the Iskander-K complex and the 9M723 ballistic missile of the Iskander-M complex. At the same time, the Russian Air Force will begin training the special warheads of its ammunition, including the Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, and sorties to patrol areas.

But I thought we were there to "defend democracy"?😂😂😂

Peopel never listen when our fascists in the west talk about "democracy". They miss the "n" after the "o".
Officials of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) informed on Wednesday that the Ukrainian forces carried out an attack using a kamikaze drone against the infrastructure of the plant, calling it “unacceptable” and an “unequivocally terrorist act.”
In its Telegram, the ZNPP confirmed the strike did not cause any casualties or critical damage but it stated that Kiev has targeted the area and residents in Enerhodar city.
Earlier, Moscow reported destroying 34 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) while starting the first stage of the planned tactical nuclear weapon exercises.
Ukraine just wants to be left in peace by their bullying, totalitarian Russian neighbour.

Pol Pot - Wikipedia
The Khmer Rouge retreated to the jungles near the Thai border, from where they continued to fight. In declining health, Pol Pot stepped back from many of his roles in the movement. In 1998, the Khmer Rouge commander Ta Mok placed Pol Pot under house arrest and shortly afterward, Pol Pot died.
