⚡️⚡️The American Embassy in Kiev stopped its work. The embassy building is closed and no employees are visible, eyewitnesses said.
Earlier, the US authorities appealed to its citizens to leave Ukraine. According to the diplomatic mission, the situation in Ukraine at the moment is assessed as extremely unstable. At the same time, the embassy believes that conditions may "sharply and suddenly deteriorate.
It also became known that the US consulate in Odessa stopped its work.
Apparently, the Americans know something and are preparing something and have evacuated in advance. The situation is very unclear. There are a lot of questions for the U.S. representatives that have not yet been answered.

And in a more serious tone, we should discuss something that will probably cause a friction in telegram as it has happened many times before, people like @theRightPeople1 already touched on it, to varying levels of success.
Posting pictures of dead combatants.
I am not talking about combat footage or live GoPro footage, to me those are slightly different, but what I am talking are pictures of the aftermath, and not the ones taken to catalogue a fight and use it for informational purposes in the military sphere, but to be used as some sort of propaganda-esque of "Mocking" the enemy and to bring their civilian populations morale down, the problem is not in the pic itself, but of how you use it.
Without naming any channels, let's say a Ukrop's girl corpse was photographed and half her chest simply ceased to existed, burned flesh looks like overdone barbecue, oh well, one more dead soldier to add to the list, but the caption is what made it stand out.
"Say it with your chest"
I don't get the joke, I saw much worse and my own humor is fucked up, I literally made a joke about how a coat should be worth the price considering the guy has been totally skinned (long story), yet I don't get the joke of that one, are we supposed to do a HaHa because a TOS probably evaporated her entire abdominal and chest cavities? I mean, you do you.
Yes, war is terrible and shit happens, but at least if you're going to mock the dead combatants, be more creative 🤷♀

American soldiers' 'selfishness...erm, selflessness' | Joe shoots yet another gaffe
The POTUS has praised the 'selfishness' – meaning the 'selflessness' – of US soldiers in the Middle East, while he was speaking on his visit to Saudi Arabia, adding yet another gaffe to his gaffe stash.

West’s Arms Stockpiles Won’t Sustain Prolonged War in Ukraine - Pentagon Supplier
The West doesn’t have the stockpiles of weapons needed to sustain a prolonged war in Ukraine or elsewhere, the CEO of one of the Pentagon’s main defense contractors has warned.
The military-industrial complex therefore needs a “clear demand signal” from Western governments on what exactly it should produce and whether it will be purchased, Kathy Warden told the FT.
“The most important thing now is to get a clear demand signal on what the sustained commitment is and the level of drawdown from those stockpiles is going to be,” she explained.

A British journalist was so stunned when he learned of a 13-year-old girl from Lugansk exposure on the extremist "Mirotvorets" (Peacemaker) website that he filmed a whole reportage about it.

Faina Savenkova became an "enemy" of the failed state because of her own creative work - the teenager is a novelist and a playwright, telling in her works about her experiences in her native city.
In addition to the dangers of shelling by the AFU, the girl also had to endure many threats and insults from Ukrainian Nazis after an extremist website "unmasked" her with the publication of her personal data.
And no matter what Kiev may mumble in its defence, Mirotvorets is a state resource for which the Ukrainian authorities have full responsibility, including criminal.

Sergey Karjakin, chess Grandmaster:
I had interesting feelings on my trip to the DPR. It was as if I arrived as one person, and literally one day later I came back as a completely different person!
When you realise that every time you go out to the street you risk death, your priorities change completely. Why would anyone need those artificially imposed "values" about yachts and Rolls-Royce cars?!
It's much more important to appreciate what you have! Just to be happy about every day you live and to know that the people you love are with you and that they are all right!
By giving to people, we can get much more in return. If you're struggling with life - come to Donbas! You'll find wonderful and courageous people there. Support them and believe me, you will come back a different person!

📚I just discovered something pretty interesting. I actually think this could be the key to all the trouble in Ukraine and other places.
In the Soviet Union, there was a law that would allow one of the Union Republics to leave the Soviet Union. Every Union Republic had autonomous republics and autonomous regions.
The Law declared that in the event of a Union Republic withdrawal (let's take Ukraine as an example), each autonomy must hold its own referendum so that the people could decide where they want to be.
This process never happened. The laws were broken or "bypassed". People were denied the opportunity to vote. Does that make the whole state of Ukraine illegal?
The people of Lugansk were supposed to have a referendum and vote whether they wanted to stay with the Russian Federation or Ukraine.
The same applied to the people of Crimea.
The same applied to Donetsk and to so many other autonomies in the rest of post-Soviet space.

Having recorded their impressions of a Donetsk still smoking from artillery shelling, Artyom Sheinin and Igor Kimakovskiy continued their trip. And then…
This episode hardly adds anything to the understanding of what is going on there. But emotionally… now they understand much better that what is terrible news for us, for hundreds of thousands of Donbass residents is a terrible everyday reality. Like, for example, the shelling of the wholesale vegetable market in this video.
The everyday courage, patience, resilience of these people is beyond words and ordinary comprehension.

A subscriber has asked me to talk about the US, and to be exact, what the future holds for her.
To first understand the answer, you have to go back, and I mean way back, to 1919.
The US since Woodrow Wilson planned to become an international superpower, it did it's whole 14 points, got itself with everyone from the Russians to the Armenians to even some random Bolivians, they obviously wanted a globalized world where it's either under their hegemony or that they would always be noticed, can you imagine that? a plan that's been over a century in the making..
Of course not every administration followed the exact guidelines since the times of Woodrow, but they've been mostly the same, it faced alot of obstacles, of course, dying colonial empires that held on to their non-existent superiority (and by this I mean the troubles faced by Eisenhower in 1956, FDR, and Truman), Bolsheviks in Russia, reactionist elements in Germany and Japan, etc..
But time solves everything, the USSR ceased to exist, a Nazi reactionist Germany ceased to exist, an ultranationalist empire of the rising sun was gifted with 2 more mini suns and ceased to exist, the British Empire practically ceased to be an empire after their failed aggression on Egypt in '56, the French Empire rapidly dissolved in the 40s (Syria and Lebanon) 50s (Algeria and Africa) with the final breath being in Indochina.
Wilson's plan brought fruits, finally the US has no opponents to put up serious resistance, all of them across the spectrum have fallen.
But my old political geography professor has a quote, "There is a difference between acquiring power, and managing it."
The US acquired it's full hegemonic power in the 90s, and it obviously mismanaged it by the times of the mid 2000s, and here we are, hearing the eagle squawking in defiance.
So, now what?
I am sorry to tell you all this, but America will not accept defeat, they will try again and again to restore their hegemonic order, so always be vigilant, because we may be defeating America now, but we don't want to share the caskets of the ones who fell.
So, what do we?
Leave them to their own devices, the American citizen is the most destructive weapon against the American government, they will deal with them and maybe tear up that psuedo-Masonic plan put forward since Wilson, and then maybe, we can all finally co-exist.
This would be truly the best timeline of all time, may God be with us.
