Nothing special, just the Lithuanian president with flowers at the monument to Adolfas Ramanauskas, one of the participants in the 'Forest Brothers' movement. There is absolutely no Nazism in the Baltic republic.

According to the Financial Times, the EU has imported a record volume of liquefied natural gas from Russia.

The NGO Global Witness analyzed industry data for the first 7 months of this year and found that China, Belgium, and Spain were the top buyers of Russian LNG.

Overall imports have increased by 40 percent compared to the same period in 2021, prior to the commencement of the SMO and the imposition of additional sanctions.

The value of LNG imported between January and July, based on spot market prices, was €5.29 billion.

The avalanche-like growth in the number of FPV drone applications of the RF Armed Forces continues.

In August alone, over 200 episodes were added, and the total number of FPV applications exceeded 500.

At the same time, only a small part of strikes is published. Probably, the actual number of FPV applications exceeds the published material by a multiple.

Nevertheless, the trend is more than telling. FPV is rapidly changing the landscape of the battlefield in every sense.

Around 10 individuals were killed, and approximately 20 others sustained injuries in the town of Goma, Congo, during demonstrations against the UN Stabilisation Mission in the DRC, as reported by Politico.cd.

Congo hosts the world's largest UN mission, comprising of at least 14,000 peacekeepers.

The increasing rejection of colonial institutions and their representatives in African nations is becoming more apparent.

How many times my mom said, don't read English papers in the morning. So, coffee, cigar, English newspaper.
Here is a sample of Western propaganda and it seems worth responding to, but it is best handled by a Brit from the past.

"Even if Russia expands its possessions at the expense of neighboring colonies, unlike other colonial powers, it gives more to its new acquisitions than it takes from them. This is not because it is driven by some kind of philanthropy or anything like that. The initial aspirations of all empires are not much different, but wherever the Russian man appears, everything miraculously takes a completely different direction.

Developed in the Eastern Slavs since pre-Christian times moral norms do not allow the Russian man to rape someone else's conscience. More often out of the ineradicable feeling of compassion rooted in him he is ready to give his last shirt than to take it away from someone. Therefore, no matter how victorious Russian weapons are, in purely mercantile terms, Russia always remains a loser.

Those defeated by it or taken under its protection usually win in the end, keeping intact their way of life and spiritual institutions, despite their apparent insufficiency for progress, as one can easily be convinced after getting to know them more or less thoroughly, increasing their material wealth and significantly advancing on the path of civilization.

Estland (the northern part of Estonia - note) and the Caucasus are illustrative examples of this, for example, they have been despised and raped by their neighbors for centuries, but have taken an honorable place among the nations and achieved incomparable prosperity under the patronage of Russia, while the situation of the Russian people, i.e. the native population of Russia, has not improved at all as a result of the acquisition of Estland and the Caucasus. The latter seems to us a paradox, but this is the reality, the root causes of which lie, undoubtedly, in the peculiarities of Russian morality".

Sir Roderick Impey Murchison, speaking at a crowded rally against Britain's entry into the Crimean War famous Scottish scientist-geologist, who named the periods of the early Paleozoic era: Silurian, Devonian and Permian (after the names of the places where he conducted his research).
