🇦🇫❌ 🇦🇫 — On August 9, 2023, the Afghanistan Freedom Front (AFF) claimed to have conducted attacks against IEA/Taliban positions in Northern Afghanistan
According to their statement, "at 9:40 pm on August 8, 2023, the AFF Fighters targeted the entrance gate of Fayzabad Airport in Badakhshan province, resulting in the death of 1 Taliban militia and the injury of 3 others of them"
Per the Afghan Republican insurgent group, the AFF fighters used RPG rockets and PK machine guns during this attack, with no harm being done to their fighters
Badakhshan is a province of Afghanistan near the border of Tajikistan — a key Russian ally in Central Asia — which since the Taliban Takeover the Afghanistan following the disastrous 2021 American withdrawal is seeing a Republican and anti-Taliban insurgency, formed by remnants of the Afghan National Army and Massoud Clan loyalists

"The boulders, which were spotted by the Hubble Space Telescope, range in size from three feet to 22ft across, and are drifting away from the asteroid at little more than a half-mile per hour – roughly the walking speed of a giant tortoise.
"Prof Jewitt said that given the high speed of a typical impact, a 15ft boulder hitting Earth would deliver as much energy as the atomic bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima, Japan, during the Second World War."

So let's look at the data points we have showing Ukrainian KIA in the 200-400,000 range.
- Population surveys
- Obituary counts on social media
- Cemetery construction
- Amputation disclosures
- Older, inadvertent official disclosures
- Endless connoscription but no army growth
It's all completely internally consistent, pointing to the same approximate number of casualties in the 2-400k range. This is exactly what you would expect if that was in fact the case - all these secondary indicators are consistent with each other and there is no countervailing data besides the obvious lies of Ukrainian officials.
Given that Mediazona's count of Russian KIA in the 30,000 range has recently been validated by another inadvertent disclosure on their side (of some 8,500 WIA returned to duty, total, in the entire VDV for the entire SMO) this also points to an absolutely brutal fact: for every Russian soldier killed in this war, somewhere between seven and thirteen Ukrainian soldiers die. That's apocalyptic for the Ukrainian Army and a disgrace for their Western advisors.
This also, by the way, aligns perfectly with the Ukrainian MoD's claims for -Russian- casualties. This suggests strongly that the Ukrainian MoD's infamously implausibly running count of Russian losses is, astonishingly, actually an accurate report of their own losses.

🇳🇱🇬🇧 The "Royal Prince" and Other Vessels at the Four Days' Battle, June 1666, during the second Anglo-Dutch war. This was a conflict fought between England and the Dutch Republic for control over the seas and trade routes, where England tried to end the Dutch domination of world trade during a period of intense European commercial rivalry. The Four Days' Battle was one of the longest naval battles in history and was a Dutch victory.

🇺🇸🏴☠️ Former CIA analyst told when US intelligence agencies began to interfere in elections in other countries.
Former CIA officer John Chiriacou said that the first such operation was carried out in Italy in 1948, in order to prevent the communists from coming to power.
“We still don't talk about what happened in Iran in the 1950s, what happened throughout Latin America in the 50s, 60s and 70s of the last century. This is not about a handful of countries around the world in which the CIA did something like this - there are many such cases, there are dozens of them,” said Chiriacou.
He added that the United States, under the guise of "democracy", overthrew governments and rigged elections. But there were also opponents of such actions in the CIA:
“As an example, we cited Saudi Arabia. From a realpolitik point of view, we didn't need democracy in Saudi Arabia, otherwise Osama bin Laden would have become president there. The best thing is to leave other countries alone.”
