#Ukraine 8th Separate Rifle Battalion has captured an interesting prisoner of war. Italian Gianni Cenni (?) had previously lived in #Russia for 10 years with his Russian wife and worked in a pizzeria. He claims to have been illegally mobilised by the Russians and sent to the front. For some reason, now he no longer wants to live in Russia and wants to return to #Italy

Except… in Italy he’s apparently wanted for a murder and rape of a 9-years old, which is likely why he ended up in Russia in the first place.

Isn’t that surprising that most people who seek political asylum in Russia are paedophiles, rapists, killers or corrupt politicians at best? 🤔

La Stampa website that posted details of his story is unfortunately paywalled, I’ve only seen fragments of the article posted on Twitter:

Of course it is important for #Germany that #nuclear power is somehow excluded from EU funding:

“Our European economy needs affordable, fast and vast amounts of renewable energy,” said Giegold at an event held by the Danish Embassy in Berlin. (…) “It is important to exclude nuclear energy and its production from all EU funding,” the German politician said.

But the reason is not climate or safety, because Germany’s CO2 emissions are 10x higher than say France’s or Sweden (both nuclear). The main reason is that under the delusional model of “100% renewabless” invented by Germany with the help of Gazprom, the country is going to become less and less competitive and gradually become outliers as other countries acquire more low-carbon dispatchable generating capacity from nuclear, while Germany sticks to excessively redundant capacity in “renewables plus gas”.

As a reminder, new investments in nuclear power are announced by #France, #Netherlands, UK, #Sweden, #Finland, #Estonia, #Poland, #Czechia, #Slovakia, #Bulgaria, #Romania, #Hungary and #Slovenia.

They’re wrong about so many things, which I believe is one of the reasons why we’re failing on the climate change mitigation efforts.

#Nigeria scientific journalists debunking popular anti #GMO narratives distributed in #Africa by Western “environmental” activists and the reasons why they were relatively successful over the last 30 years:

Riot police on #Poland #Ukraine border in Medyka trying to remove protesters blocking railway and dumping grain on the ground. Earlier I’ve also seen riot police removing protesters who blocked passenger buses.

So, in summary, the amount of attention granted by Western audience, and especially Russia experts, to Putin’s interviews seems to surpass the amount granted by audience in Russia by an order of magnitude.

Also, while Russian audience remained generally unamused or ironic, Western audience approached Putins’ interview dead serious.

What could have been done before Carlson interview?

during the preceding week, walk through Putin’s traditional tropes and debunk them one by one, thus preparing audience and beating Russia’s scenario;

openly talk about Russia’s information warfare tactics, explaining how it rides Western media herd instincts

What had been done?

90% of Western media, including “Russia experts”, simply repeated Putin’s tropes voiced to Carlson - only some did it in real-time and some in the morning

🤷

Remember: when you share outrageous claims by a media personality with “OMG what a nonsense” comment, it’s like using “but” in an apology.

The only thing that matters is that you shared the outrageous claims, interacted with it, full stop.

You just told every single algorithm in the world the content needs to be boosted because it increases user engagement. And nobody really cares about your “OMG” after the algorithms kick in.

Outrageous and false claims need to be debunked, only sharing them is the worst way of doing it.

When you copy-paste the controversial fragment and criticise it as a quote, you are actually impacting its author the most. You are confronting their statement but without interacting with them and signalling the media platform that it’s worth boosting.

Are you wondering how an US journalist (well, let’s use this term for Tucker Carlson gracefully) can travel to #Russia in the middle of a war and make interviews with #Putin to advertise his point of view? Well, in 2015 the price for such a moral flexibility was 600’000 EUR and we only found out about it last year:

Seipel confirmed he had received support from Mordashov, saying “his support relates exclusively to the book projects”. He stressed he had remained impartial, saying: “I always set clear legal boundaries that guaranteed my independence.” The documents, and Seipel’s response, suggest the payments were for his work on a 2015 biography called Putin: Inner Views of Power and a 2021 title, Putin’s Power: Why Europe Needs Russia, both originally written in German.

As a matter of fact European Union alone dedicated 1.2 billion EUR for #Palestine in 2021-2024. There were billions from other international aid organisations and private companies (Gaza IT hub) invested there.

The problem is that significant part of the money was used by #Hamas for building up its rocket arsenal, undeground tunnels and other military infrastructure, which was then used to launch the 7 October war.

You might also wonder how come Ismail Haniyeh and other top Palestinian figures became literal millionaires with luxury apartments in Quatar while heading Gaza, where official GDP per capita is $876

Well, Mecca Agreement came after 600-1000 Palestinians were already killed on both sides, including ~200 civilians. The agreement literally calls for “banning the shedding of the Palestinian blood”.

Apparently Hamas sponsors were shocked that their money is being wasted on killing Palestinians when it should be spent on killing Jews, and had to intervene.

statement from hamas saying the two gunmen whete theirs

That was quoted in one of the articles. I don’t follow Hamas statements closely. I followed their Telegram channel for a while but it was similar to Russian military updates, with an endless stream of virtual victories, so I stopped.

Hamas is the de facto government of gaza.

Yes, since they took it with in armed conflict in 2007. This also means they bear 100% responsibility for the safety of civilians in Gaza. Except they directly denied that responsibility in the discussion of tunnels being reserved exclusively for Hamas members.

having military preparedness is uncommon.

Preparedness is one thing. A complex offensive operation that includes breaching guarded border and barrages of rockets fired from concealed launchers is completely different scale that requires careful planning and coordination. Can’t happen overnight.

I don’t know. In any case, IDF intervention in Hawara seems to have been response to the shooting. Plus there was another shooting, which Hamas admitted was done by its two members.

What I’m just trying to understand how did you come to a conclusion that 7 October massacre was organised overnight by Hamas and two shootings, one of which Hamas took responsibility for, constituted “violation of ceasefire by Israel”.

Labib was mentioned in the Reuters article.

The shooting of a car is mentioned there and detailed in linked article:

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-troops-kill-two-palestinians-west-bank-clash-2023-10-05/

And it actually comes out to be two shootings at that day. First:

The Islamist militant group Hamas claimed the slain Palestinians, aged 23 and 27, as its members.

Second:

The video, which could not immediately be verified by Reuters, shows a man opening fire at the back of a car standing in traffic before the vehicle swerves over to the opposite lane and the man runs after it while appearing to fire more shots

The accident where a car with an Israeli woman and child was shot at was a separate incident.

I very much appreciate a detailed response and I was intrigued by this paragraph:

Israeli force breaking the truce agreement on 6th october 2023 by demolishing the Huwara city and killing one palestinian

Firstly, “demolishing the Huwara city” doesn’t seem to be an accurate description of events that followed[^1] incident that involved a Palestinian attacker trying to kill a woman and a child.[^2] Secondly, it sounds even more infeasible that Hamas prepared a large-scale military operation involving well-coordinated intrusion into Israel and massive rocket barrages literally overnight.
