It's interesting that Ukraine's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade was able to correct the ministry of defence about the taking of Andriivka yesterday, and only confirm it today.
It says something about the balance of power between the Ukrainian government and the unit commanders I think - a striking difference from Russia where even generals get fired and disgraced for trying to correct disastrous government policy.

The time without social media was better for society as a whole. The acceleration of everyday life has done more bad than good.

nostr:npub1g0tuf634rz4suczwj7kgnecr6cyt0eu9xmp3sp0fku68mqehq4msp3tvm4 when the Hindu Prime Minister of an islamophobic party won't even meet the Hindu head of an islamophobic party you know things have got to be bad.
«One study even found that they're more likely to make a racist decision after expressing support or approval for a black politician. They're also more likely to splurge on a luxury good after donating to a charity. As one group of researchers sums it up, "Committing a moral act decreases the propensity of subsequently committing a moral act, and increases the propensity of committing an immoral act."
In other words, people who perceive themselves as good are more likely to do bad things. We always kinda knew, didn't we?»

I think explanations of how billionaires or major politicians act need to be more rooted in a social theory that involves many factors rather than in identifying a possible social psychological effect (which may have been identified from looking at how USA college students behave).

It should be quite easy to monitor him. I agree with the analyst who says this is why PET seems to have done nothing. From a counterespionage point of view expelling spies from an embassy is usually counterproductive because you lose all your data on them and have to work to uncover the new ones who will come, and who may be illegal and hence harder to monitor.
But I'd like to know whether the previous attaché was SVU (information gathering) rather than GRU (thugs).

As Wikipedia states: “The Russian Federation has a de jure multi-party system, however it operates as a de facto one-party system.”
The Kremlin controls the Duma, regional governors, the judiciary etc.
Putin has been increasing investment in Rosgvardiya, as clear a mark of intent of internal action as sending tanks to the border with Ukraine was of external action.

Stalin’s terror needed mass consent, but it appears to have been taken up by more than careerists. Russian society was part of the terror.
Certainly terror is Putin’s direction of travel and a project of the right in Russia, the late prophet Prigozhin spoke of the need to be “more like North Korea”
I am convinced that Putin will be able to replicate it. More importantly, Russians are convinced that he will be able to replicate it.
