$375,000 – The Sticker Price for an Iranian Shahed Drone sold to Russia
In a recent revelation, it has emerged that Russia has purchased Iranian Shahed drones at a staggeringly high price of $375,000 per unit. The news, which came to light through a hacking incident, has left many questioning the exorbitant cost of these drones. As an interested observer, I cannot help but express my own insights and opinions on this matter.
The leaked documents indicate that Russia signed a contract worth $1.75 billion for 6,000 Shahed drones, including hardware and software. It is astonishing to see that part of the payment was made in literal gold, with over 2 tonnes shipped to Iran.… Continue reading
Putin challenger says he is barred from election
I can’t say I’m surprised by the news that a challenger to Russian President Vladimir Putin has been barred from running in the upcoming election. As someone who has been following Russian politics closely, it’s becoming increasingly clear that these elections are nothing more than a facade, a charade to maintain the illusion of democracy.
The challenger, Mr. Nadezhdin, claims to have collected over 200,000 signatures across Russia in support of his candidacy. Yet, the Central Election Commission deemed more than 9,000 signatures invalid, leaving him just short of the required 100,000 to register as a candidate.… Continue reading
As a Polish citizen, I find it absolutely baffling that the Republican Party in the United States, of all political factions, is the most pro-Russian. Here in Poland, we hold former President Reagan in high regard for his instrumental role in helping us gain independence in the late 1980s. It is disheartening to see Republicans align themselves with a nation that goes against the democratic ideals we hold dear.
The recent comments made by the Polish leader, expressing his disappointment and calling out the Republican senators for scuttling Ukrainian aid, are absolutely valid. The actions of these senators should be met with shame and reproach.… Continue reading
The recent Putin interview with Tucker Carlson has once again highlighted the Kremlin’s consistent efforts to reach out to Trump’s GOP. It is truly baffling to witness such blatant displays of Russian influence on the Republican Party, while many Trump supporters turn a blind eye to these actions. The fact that concrete documented events, publicly available for anyone to see, are dismissed as conspiracy theories is concerning.
This issue goes beyond partisan lines and should be a cause for alarm for anyone who cares about our country. It is disheartening to witness the immediate dismissal of these concerns simply because it paints Republicans in a negative light.… Continue reading
China, Russia, and Iran have recently announced that they will be holding navy drills aimed at “regional security” amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East. As I ponder upon this news, I can’t help but feel a mix of concern, curiosity, and skepticism.
First and foremost, I find it rather ironic that the tensions in the Middle East, which have been largely fueled by Iran-backed Houthi attacks on ships, are now being used as the pretext for these navy drills. It seems like a case of trying to put out a fire that you yourself have started. If Iran truly desires regional security, perhaps it should start by telling the Houthis to stop their attacks, rather than engaging in military exercises.… Continue reading
I will reflect and write a blog article in the first person on the topic “Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defends the prospect of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin amid rumors he is in Moscow.” Here are my personal insights and opinions on this subject matter.
The recent news of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defending the idea of Tucker Carlson interviewing Putin amid rumors of his presence in Moscow has left me deeply concerned. As an American citizen, it baffles me that anyone would support such a meeting, especially given the context surrounding it.
It is important to note that while ABC News interviewed Saddam Hussein after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, that was an act of traditional journalism.… Continue reading
Tucker Carlson Announces Interview With Putin. He’s Praised the Russian Leader for Years
When I first learned that Tucker Carlson, the popular conservative commentator, would be interviewing Russian President Vladimir Putin, I couldn’t help but feel a mix of intrigue and concern. For years, Carlson has been known for his praise of Putin, often describing him as a strong leader who puts the interests of his country first. Now, with this upcoming interview, Carlson has the opportunity to delve deeper into his admiration for the Russian leader.
It’s no secret that Carlson has faced criticism in the past for his views on Russia.… Continue reading
Russia finds ‘errors’ in paperwork of candidate hoping to stand against Putin
As I read about Russia finding ‘errors’ in the paperwork of a candidate hoping to stand against Vladimir Putin, I can’t help but roll my eyes in disbelief. It’s so transparently absurd, it’s almost comical. The error they found? The date of death field was left blank. How convenient. Who could have possibly foreseen such a complication?
But really, what did we expect? Putin is a coward who will do anything to maintain his grip on power. I’m not at all surprised to find out that there are improper paperwork submissions in his establishment.… Continue reading
As a Ukrainian, the news of Putin’s plan to integrate the occupied regions into Russia by 2030 is extremely bleak. It suggests that the war will continue for another 6-10 years, which is beyond grim. I can’t help but wonder if this plan will be as successful as the “special military operation” he authorized two years ago.
Russia has always portrayed itself as a powerful and impressive nation, with grand military parades and displays of new generation weapons. However, what we have witnessed is a display of embarrassing incompetence. Oligarchs committing suicide, generals being killed, and a failed “special operation” resulting in the deaths of almost 200,000 Russian soldiers.… Continue reading
Major Russian Oil Refinery in Volgograd Region Falls Victim to a Drone Attack
It’s a scene straight out of a dystopian novel – a major Russian oil refinery in the Volgograd region falls victim to a drone attack. The images of the refinery engulfed in flames are both awe-inspiring and terrifying. As I watch the news unfold, a mix of emotions courses through me.
On one hand, there is a sense of exhilaration. The Ukrainian drones have managed to penetrate deep into Russian territory, striking at the heart of the country’s oil production. It’s a bold move, a direct challenge to the Russian war machine.… Continue reading
