Pro-Ukraine trolls think it's funny to call a Russian family and tell them that their "stuffing" is gone.
You know, I'm used to that, the Israelis usually mock the dead Arabs, even going way back in 1967, a relatives corpse was returned with a note in standard Arabic that he "abandoned his post and died running", even though the bullets clearly came from the front of the body, just usual pysop.
Back on the topic, don't let these trolls get under your skin, being martyred for such a cause is quite honorable, the degenerates are just coping.

Bloomberg: In the Energy Markets, Putin Is Winning the War
No matter what indicator you use, Russian President Vladimir Putin is winning in the energy markets. Once European sanctions against Russian crude exports kick in from November, the region’s governments will face some tough choices as the energy crisis starts to bite consumers and companies.
The first indicator showing how Putin has turned the oil tide is Russian crude production. July marked the third consecutive month of oil production recovery towards pre-war levels of around 11 million barrels per day. After that initial struggle, Russia has found new customers for the million barrels a day or so that European oil refiners have stopped purchasing due to self-sanctioning.
The second indicator is the price of Russian oil. Initially, Moscow was forced to sell its flavors of crude at huge discounts to other varieties to entice buyers. In recent weeks, however, the Kremlin has regained pricing power, taking advantage of a tight market.
The final indicator of Russian success is political, rather than market related. Instead of ditching its alliance with Russia, as many Western politicians had expected, OPEC+ chose to keep pressure on global energy markets by announcing only a minuscule oil production increase.
The oil market victory means Putin can afford to forego revenue by restricting natural gas sales to Europe, putting pressure on Berlin, Paris and London, which are bracing for massive - up to 75%-100% - retail energy price increases and potential shortages that may lead to rationing this winter.
A combination of cold weather, surging demand for electricity and soaring prices later this year risks undermining Western support for Ukraine. European politicians who’ve been eager to win international kudos by flaunting their support for Kyiv may be less willing to foot the domestic bill for averting energy poverty among their own voters.

The Zelensky Narrative is Shifting | Steve Cortes, Opinion
Volodymyr Zelensky increasingly reveals his true nature. For months, the Ukrainian president has enjoyed nonstop adulation from the American press and audiences with celebrity glitterati. But now, the reality of his rule in Ukraine is becoming undeniable, even to his most ardent enablers in America, many of whom happen to be Republicans.
The Biden administration had previously been as deeply committed to escalation in Ukraine as Senator Lindsey Graham or actor Ben Stiller were, but suddenly even the West Wing is beginning to acknowledge the futility of unreservedly backing Zelensky. Apparently, there are limits, even for the Washington War Machine.
What are those limits regarding Ukraine? Zelensky shut down all opposition media in Ukraine, then banned opposition political parties. He declared that Russia would have to kill every single citizen of Kyiv to get to him, but also found time to pose for a melodramatic Annie Leibovitz portrait spread for American fashion magazine Vogue. Zelensky also fired the Ukrainian equivalent of the U.S. Attorney General and the head of the CIA, on the very same day, perhaps during breaks from his grandiose photo shoot.
Like Friedman, CBS News apparently got the memo to start tarnishing Zelensky's halo. That network explored the folly of sending a mountain of U.S. taxpayer money into one of the most corrupt countries on Earth, though later deleted its tweet on the topic. CBS admitted that vast amounts of American largesse has been pilfered, conceding that "much of the billions of dollars of military aid that the U.S. is sending to Ukraine doesn't make it to the front lines."
So, American taxpayers borrow tens of billions of dollars their country does not have, to send fortunes to the unaccountable leader of a corrupt country, all to escalate a war in which America has no vital national interest. Oh, and during a recession with runaway inflation at home. Gotcha. That reality would be damning enough, but Zelensky just upped the ante, making American escalation even more wrongheaded.
So, perhaps fearing that the Kyiv cabal will soon need a new sugar daddy, Zelensky openly solicits the most dangerous adversary of the United States, the Chinese Communist Party. With this pathetic hat-in-hand appeal to the Beijing politburo, Zelensky firmly forfeits any pretense of standing as an exemplar for human rights, no matter how many Ukraine flags adorn the social media accounts of high-minded wealthy Americans.
Moreover, in reaching out to Beijing, Zelensky appeals for charity from a country that directly funds the war in Ukraine via massive oil purchases from Putin. In this regard, Zelensky unwittingly unveils the insanity of the world's most powerful nations simultaneously funding both sides of the war. For example, as America sends more than $54 billion from our citizens to Ukraine, our supposed allies in NATO have been sending up to $1 billion per day to Putin for Russian energy.
Zelensky is a corrupt autocrat. Their battle involves no vital U.S. national interest. Biden's intervention harms America and worsens the plight of the Ukrainian people, who have become pawns in a battle of Black Sea oligarchs. America should insist on dialogue, negotiation, and de-escalation. If the parties refuse, then it's time for an American approach of realism and restraint, because this is simply not our fight, and Zelensky sure as hell is not our fighter.

Estonia offers Finland and Sweden to make the Baltic an internal sea of NATO
Minister of Defense Hanno Pevkur spoke about plans to integrate the coast guards of Estonia and Finland, which will allow Russian ships to be closed to the Baltic Sea.
“The integration of anti-missile defenses of Finland and Estonia will allow closing the Gulf of Finland to Russian warships. The Baltic Sea, with the accession of Finland and Sweden to NATO, will become the internal sea of the alliance,” he said in an interview with Iltalehti.

Fox news: Russia uses FBI Trump raid to 'foment discord' and 'amplify tensions' in US, expert says
Russian state media outlets have been offering words of support for Former President Donald Trump amid the FBI raid of his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida in an attempt to sow discord in the U.S.
"The Russians understand that Donald Trump is a hot button in America and they use their narratives to foment discord and amplify tensions in our country," Rebekah Koffler, a former DIA intelligence officer and the author of "Putin’s Playbook: Russia’s Secret Plan to Defeat America," told Fox News.
The comments come after multiple Russian media outlets have expressed support for Trump in the days since the FBI raid on his home, with both Izvestia and RenTV arguing over the weekend that the raid was designed to prevent Trump from running for president in 2024.
The FBI raid of Trump's Florida home has been controversial, with the former president saying the law enforcement agency has long been corrupt. The FBI seized classified records, including some marked top secret, during the Monday raid according to a warrant and property receipt that was unsealed Friday.
The FBI has a long and unrelenting history of being corrupt. Just look back to the days of J. Edgar Hoover," Trump said on TRUTH social Saturday. "In the modern era, nothing has changed except that it has gotten far worse."
Many Republican lawmakers have rallied to support the former president since news of the raid broke, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who many view as the only significant challenger to Trump's grip on the party ahead of the 2024 GOP presidential primary.

Is Russia preparing for a protracted military conflict?
An American Institute for War Studies (ISW) brief stated that the Kremlin is seeking to mobilize industry to ensure prolonged military operations in Ukraine.
As noted by U.S. analysts, Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate (MID) reported that the Kremlin initiated a "production mobilization" of defense enterprises in early August by banning some employees and the entire management of the Russian state industrial conglomerate Rostech from taking a vacation. ISW added that the Russian Military-Industrial Commission, chaired by Russian President Vladimir Putin, is preparing to change the state defense procurement program by early September to increase spending by 600-700 billion rubles (about $10 billion).
ISW previously reported that the Kremlin is mobilizing the Russian economy by proposing an amendment to federal laws on supplying the Armed Forces to the Russian State Duma on June 30. The amendment obliges Russian enterprises, regardless of their form of ownership, to fulfill Russian military orders and allows the Kremlin to change the working conditions of employees. Putin signed the amendment on July 14, meaning that the Kremlin will continue to take additional steps to expand the Kremlin's direct control over the Russian military-industrial complex, ISW concludes.
According to Americans, the war is moving into a protracted phase and it is now a question of who will survive longer.
