Cioè vi rendete conto di chi è il presidente USA?
История с тем, что Трамп предложил пост пресс-секретаря Белого Дома владельцу крупнейшей в мире организации единоборств UFC Дейне Уайту, похоже, ещё более маразматическая, чем на первый взгляд. Есть женщина по имени Дейна Уайт. Она действительно работает в сфере PR, и одно время занимала пост помощника министра обороны по этим вопросам (фактически была спикером Пентагона). Вероятно, именно её и назвали Трампу в качестве возможной кандидатуры пресс-секретаря Белого дома. Но Трамп её не знает. А владельца UFC Дейну Уайта Трамп знает очень хорошо, они приятели. И Трамп натурально решил, что речь о владельце UFC. И очень обрадовался. Трампу даже в голову не пришло, что тут что-то странное. Он немедленно опубликовал пост-анонс про Уайта, заявив, что тот будет невероятным пресс-секретарём. Заодно написал, что Дейне Уайту станут помогать такие бойцы, как Хабиб Нурмагомедов и Ислам Махачев. Понимаете, Трамп реально решил, что Нурмагомедов и Махачев станут помощниками пресс-секретаря президента США. Теперь окружение Трампа пытается сделать вид, что это была шутка президента. Но это не шутка. Это маразм.

2023年6月23日。ワグネルの反乱に踏み切る直前、プリゴジンは、自らも加担したウクライナ侵略の裏事情を暴露した(動画は日本語字幕付)。 「非軍事化・非ナチ化」というロシア政府の大義を、侵略を遂行した当事者自身が否定した発言だ。 彼が語ったのは、権力者の野心、新興財閥の利権、占領地での略奪、そして兵士を犠牲にしながら重ねられる虚偽の報告だった。以下は、動画での本人の主張を整理したものだ。 ① ドンバスでの資金流用 2014~2022年、大統領府、FSB、新興財閥がドンバスを食い物にしたと告発。スルコフ、コザク、クルチェンコらを名指しした。「人民民兵軍団」は実体に乏しく、訓練も行われず、給与が抜かれ、将軍たちは架空の兵士の給与まで受け取っていたという。 ② シリアでの実績と勲章 主要な任務は民間軍事会社が担い、正規軍は十分な実戦経験を得なかったと主張。軍用機の隣国への越境は繰り返し警告されていた。一方、将軍たちは快適な飛行機で基地を往復しただけで英雄の星章を得て、称号の価値を壊したと批判した。 ③ 軍内の迎合体質 国防相と取り巻きにへつらう者が昇進し、勲章を得る。自ら判断して動ける人間は軍を去り、指揮や武器に問題を抱えたまま全面侵攻を迎えたと語った。 ④ ゼレンシキーとは交渉できた ゼレンシキーは大統領就任時、合意に応じる用意があり、ロシア側が高慢な態度を捨てて交渉すればよかったと主張。さらに東部住民を彼自身の表現で「遺伝的にロシア人」と呼び、その人々をロシア軍が殺しに行っていると述べた。 ⑤ お粗末な侵攻計画 「非軍事化・非ナチ化」の構想は、3日で政権を交代させることが前提だったという。上層部は演習に偽装すれば準備は見抜かれず、キーウへの進軍も止められないと思い込んだ。司令官さえ作戦を十分に知らされず、実戦経験のない者が矢印を描いた地図をショイグに報告していたと批判した。 ⑥ 開戦直後の犠牲 まともな偵察もなくミサイルを大量に撃ち、弾薬や任務説明が不十分なまま兵士を投入。ホストメリの空挺部隊などが命を落とし、ショイグは最初の数日で何千人もの兵士と、軍の最も戦える部分を失わせたと非難した。 ⑦ 「世界第2位の軍」の虚像 ウクライナ側は演習の動きを見て兵力を動員し、キーウで市民に武器を配っていたと指摘。「世界第2位の軍」という宣伝は実体のない風船で、ロシア側は核兵器による奇跡まで当てにしていたと嘲笑した。 ⑧ 昇進と勲章のための戦争 ショイグは元帥になり、もう一つ英雄の星章を得て、偉大な軍司令官として歴史に名を残したかったと告発。昇進の政令も用意されていたという。棺に入るときに星章を飾ってもらうために戦争が必要だった、と批判した。 ⑨ 新興財閥を守る国家 戦争を必要としていたのは、ロシアを支配する新興財閥でもあった。国外事業を失えば国家が国内事業を与え、そのために実業家を投獄し、銀行を閉鎖するという。彼らは特別な医療設備まで整え、自分の長生きばかり考え、国や人々には関心がないと語った。 ⑩ 政権交代と資産の山分け メドヴェチュクをウクライナ大統領に据えることが重要な目的だったと主張。本人はキーウでロシア軍の到着とゼレンシキーの逃亡、ウクライナ側の降伏を待っていたという。取り柄はロシア指導部との親しい関係。狙いは支配下に置いた国の資産の山分けだったと告発した。 ⑪ 占領地からの略奪 ヘルソン州やザポリッジャ州では占領後、ブルドーザーや金属の大量搬出が始まったという。ポパスナでも、押さえた工場の設備を取り外し、ロシアへ運び出した。「聖戦」はゆすりと略奪に変わり、それが国家の理念にまで祭り上げられたと批判した。 ⑫ 虚偽の戦果報告 「レオパルト60両を破壊」「敵兵3,000人を殺害」という発表に異議を唱えた。映像で破壊されたのはレオパルト数両とブラッドレー数両で、同じ車両を違う角度から見せていると主張。破壊したならドローンで撮影できるはずだと述べ、「60両」はでたらめだと断じた。 ⑬ 現場と報告の乖離 ザポリッジャ、ヘルソン方面でロシア軍が押され、予備兵力も適切な指揮もないと告発。参謀総長は酒を飲んで電話口で陣地奪還をわめき、指揮部は実際の戦線より数キロ北に線を引いた地図を作ると語った。 ⑭ 敗退を「再配置」と言い換える リマンやヘルソンなどで広大な領土を失ってから「より有利な陣地に再配置した」と発表する。現場の現実と、大統領の机に届く報告は別物だと批判した。 ⑮ ウクライナ軍の戦い方 バフムートでもウクライナ軍が防御線の奥へ進んでいると主張。兵士と装備を温存しながら弾薬を惜しまず使う相手に対し、ロシア兵は死傷して戦列を離れていく。負傷した兵士は翌日には銃を持てない。「残された時間は急速に縮まっている」と警告した。

Former CIA Director David Petraeus: With Budanov now heading the Presidential Office, Zelenskyy has someone close to him who deeply understands the military situation and ongoing operations. I know Budanov well. He is very direct in his assessments. We first spoke by video when he was near the russian border, commanding one of the first operations on russian territory. Petraeus in an interview with SpyCast: Ukraine has the largest and most innovative army in Europe. It is doing what NATO armies would otherwise have to do themselves if russia achieved its objectives in Ukraine. Moldova would be next, and possibly Lithuania after that. During my recent visit to Ukraine, a russian jet-powered drone struck the locomotive of a train on the track next to ours. The passengers on trains leaving Ukraine are mostly women and children. It was terrifying for them. Russia has suffered 1.5 million killed and wounded, more than the United States suffered during the entire Second World War. Last month alone, Ukraine estimated approximately 46,000 russian casualties, while russia recruited only around 30,000 soldiers. New recruits receive very little training. Ukrainian forces have captured russian soldiers who had been in the army for less than two weeks. They are practically cannon fodder. Ukraine has struck every russian oil refinery within 3,000 kilometers of its border, many of them multiple times. Russian oil production has fallen below 9 million barrels per day for the first time since 2009. Russians now use smartphone apps to find gas stations that still have fuel. The National Welfare Fund has been redirected toward the military-industrial complex and is expected to run out by the end of the year. It is time for Europe and the United States to seize frozen russian reserves and provide them to Ukraine. We tend to assume that Ukrainians are far ahead in military innovation, just as we assume the United States leads in artificial intelligence. But when you look closely, the gap is not always that large. In some areas, the russians have developed capabilities before the Ukrainians. China, North Korea, and Iran are carefully studying what is happening in Ukraine. The West needs to learn from Ukraine much faster. Simply buying drones for existing tank units is not enough. We need to fundamentally rethink our military structures because many traditional Western weapons systems would no longer survive on the Ukrainian battlefield. And we need to do this immediately. The Ukrainian people have demonstrated extraordinary resilience. They have been absolutely unbreakable despite enormous pressure. But they are also exhausted, and another difficult winter lies ahead.

Cruciani, basta raccontare balle. La moglie di Abdul El-Sayed, Sarah Jukaku, è un medico, specializzata in psichiatria alla Columbia University, con una propria attività professionale nel Michigan. Ha persino tenuto un discorso pubblico al comizio conclusivo del marito. El-Sayed l’ha ringraziata per essersi occupata delle figlie durante la campagna elettorale. Cruciani riesce a trasformare questo normalissimo ringraziamento nella rappresentazione di una donna musulmana relegata in casa. Con hijab. Sai in Sardegna lo mette anche mia nonna. @giucruciani, dove avrebbe dichiarato che sua moglie deve stare a casa con i figli? Ci dai la citazione precisa? Questa roba viene diffusa davanti a un microfono, raggiunge migliaia di persone e contribuisce ad avvelenare il dibattito pubblico. Mi auguro che l’uscita di Tamburini porti anche a una seria riflessione sulla responsabilità editoriale di chi concede spazio e autorevolezza a simili ricostruzioni da parte di @giudebellis La libertà di parola comporta anche la responsabilità di ciò che si racconta.
Cruciani: “Negli Stati Uniti, in Michigan è stato eletto un musulmano di nome Abdul El-Sayed, va benissimo per carità. Si è presentato con la moglie intabarrata, e ha detto che la suddetta moglie sta a casa con i figli. Questo è il modello democratico che volete?” @giucruciani

Una precisazione anche per chi in buona fede ha inteso una frase traviata dalla solita vecchia propaganda interessata a un certo spin. La moglie di Abdul El-Sayed, la dott.ssa Sarah Jukaku, è un medico come lui, psichiatra e docente alla Cornell. Lei “è stata a casa” a badare alle figlie e a mio parere non ci sarebbe niente di male nella misura in cui si trattasse di una scelta libera. Lei lo ha comunque fatto come atto di solidarietà verso suo marito. Ecco cosa ha detto veramente Abdul El-Sayed, omaggiando sua moglie: «Il fatto che lei abbia tenuto tutto in piedi, portando avanti la sua attività medica e assicurandosi che le nostre figlie vivessero questa esperienza senza smettere di considerare la vita normale, ha richiesto uno sforzo e un sacrificio davvero straordinari». Ormai le bugie dei seminatori di odio hanno le gambe cortissime e gliele hanno accorciate brutalmente gli elettori americani

Pero ustedes tienen un hermoso océano y ahora no lo sienten. PERO LO VAN A SENTIR EN EL FUTURO Que Dios los bendiga. Que Dios los bendiga. Ustedes no tienen una guerra Trump: - No nos digas lo que vamos a sentir. Estamos tratando de resolver un problema Zelensky : - No les estoy diciendo qué sentir. Estoy respondiendo sus preguntas Trump: - No estás en posición de decirnos lo que vamos a sentir. Nosotros vamos a estar muy bien Zelenski: - VAN A SENTIR LA INFLUENCIA Trump: - Vamos a estar muy bien y muy fuertes. Ahora mismo vos no estás en una buena posición Zelenski: - Desde el comienzo de la guerra… Trump: - No tenés las cartas….. Y ahí estuvo el punto central. Zelenski no estaba amenazando a Estados Unidos ni haciendo una advertencia gratuita. Estaba repitiendo algo que todos los ucranianos y las personas de bien en todo el mundo ya saben: ‼️Hacer negocios con los rusos trae consecuencias‼️ Y siempre, pero SIEMPRE, son MALAS. * nada, solo eso.

We lost because you and Trump and Marco are egregious people who have said and done horrible things. You bullied a 9 year old rape victim on the trail, you joked with gay Jesse about Husted’s ass while ignoring the sincere question of a young women, you said immigrants were the scourge of our nation, you said your proudest moment was denying Ukraine aid as we see every month the little faces of now dead children, you lied about hospital translators, lied about every thing, expressed no remorse for the victims of ICE murders, no remorse for the hundreds of children Stephen Miller is torturing in ICE detention, and again just lied and lied and lied, about the war, the economy, mostly about Democrats. The biggest lie of all is that you serve Jesus, when you’re really just a shithead.

只要一次大的反攻,俄罗斯将崩溃 听起来像战时宣传,但这话来自刚接掌乌军帅印的总司令米哈伊洛·德拉帕蒂(Mykhailo Drapatyi)。他公开放话:只要发动一次有力、果断的军事反击,就会直接导致俄罗斯军事和政治领导层的崩溃;他同时拒绝基辅做出任何领土让步或政治妥协。 为什么一位前线出身的将领会把宝押在“一战震垮对方高层”上?这得先看他接手的是什么局面。 2026年7月,乌克兰总统泽连斯基撤换了原总司令瑟尔斯基(Oleksandr Syrskyi),把德拉帕蒂推上最高统帅位置。瑟尔斯基此前因为僵化的苏式指挥风格、居高不下的前线损耗饱受军内外批评;再加上围绕前国防部长费多罗夫(Mykhailo Fedorov)去留引发的基辅街头抗议与政军摩擦,泽连斯基急需一位讲究战术灵活、去中心化指挥和无人机技术整合的少壮派将领来稳住军心。 德拉帕蒂上任拿到的明确任务,就是跳出被动死守的消耗战泥潭,重新组织反攻、把行动推向敌后。 从这个视角看,他的高调表态其实是一套精算过的战略博弈。 对内,这叫锁死退路。一旦接受“以现有战线冻结冲突”或“领土换停火”的预期,前线部队承受高强度消耗的作战意志就会迅速瓦解;只有给出“反攻能彻底打崩对手中枢”的终极回报,才能为接下来的兵力动员和技术扩编争取空间。 对外,这是瞄准莫斯科权力结构的心理战。德拉帕蒂的底层假设很直接:威权体制的合法性高度依赖“必胜”与“强人控制”的叙事。只要俄军在战场上遭遇一次无法掩盖的重大挫败,俄国内部对发动战争的高层的信任就会动摇,进而引发军方与克里姆林宫之间的分锅与内讧。 但把底牌亮出来之后,最残酷的约束依然留在物理世界里。 历史和现实都摆在台面上:战场上的单次失利,从来不会自动兑换成政权垮台;而要把纸面上的“果断反击”变成现实的战线突破,乌军首先要跨过的,依然是充足的兵力补充、重型装备弹药供给,以及在密集无人机监控下找到战役级突破口这三道硬门槛。 狠话已经放上了牌桌,接下来检验德拉帕蒂的,只有前线真实的火力与战果。

E questi fenomeni non hanno previsto e prevenuto il 7 ottobre?
Mossad agents broke into a diplomat’s hotel room in Vienna, cloned his laptop in under an hour, and discovered dozens of color photos showing North Korean scientists inside an unmarked box-shaped building in the Syrian desert—triggering a stealth air raid that wiped out a covert plutonium reactor minutes before midnight. The reason might surprise you. In early 2007, Israeli intelligence was tracking suspicious cargo shipments between Pyongyang and Damascus. While Western agencies assumed Syria was merely modernizing ballistic missiles, Mossad Director Meir Dagan suspected something far more dangerous. In March 2007, an operational window opened in Vienna: Ibrahim Othman, head of the Syrian Atomic Energy Commission, arrived for an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) conference. When Othman left his hotel for a dinner engagement, a specialized Mossad Kidon team breached his suite. Operatives cloned his laptop's hard drive, planted Trojan spyware, and left the room completely undisturbed before his return. When analysts back in Tel Aviv cracked the files, they were stunned: The drive held dozens of high-resolution digital photographs taken inside a remote facility near Al-Kibar, in the Deir ez-Zor desert along the Euphrates River. The images showed a gas-cooled, graphite-moderated nuclear reactor identical in design to North Korea's Yongbyon plutonium reactor. Pictured side-by-side inside the facility were Chon Chiboo, a leading North Korean nuclear official, and senior Syrian engineers. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert immediately dispatched Mossad and defense officials to Washington to brief President George W. Bush. While US intelligence confirmed the facility was indeed a plutonium-production reactor built with North Korean assistance, Washington favored diplomatic pressure via the UN rather than kinetic military action. Olmert refused to wait. Under the Begin Doctrine, an operational reactor in a hostile state could not be tolerated: Once loaded with nuclear fuel rods, an airstrike would blanket the Euphrates Valley and downstream populations in lethal radioactive fallout. The countdown to strike was measured in months. The mission was codenamed Operation Orchard (also referred to as Operation Outside the Box). Before the airstrike, commandos from the elite Sayeret Matkal were covertly inserted by helicopter near Al-Kibar to collect soil samples, photograph perimeter defenses, and verify nuclear signatures. On the night of September 5, 2007, the strike package took flight: Four F-15I Ra'am fighters and four F-16I Sufa jets from the 69, 119, and 253 Squadrons departed Ramat David and Hatzerim airbases. Instead of flying east over Jordan, the aircraft headed west over the Mediterranean, climbed north, and banked east along the Turkish-Syrian border. Israel's electronic warfare and cyber units deployed an airborne algorithmic weapon codenamed Suter: they hacked and fed false-sky data directly into Syria’s modern Russian-built radar network. The screens showed tranquil, empty airspace while eight strike fighters roared beneath radar shadows. Shortly after 11:30 PM, the strike package dropped down onto Al-Kibar: Diving out of the dark sky, the jets unleashed 17 tons of precision-guided ordnance, including AGM-65 Maverick missiles and 500-pound laser-guided penetration bombs. The cubic concrete containment building was completely flattened, collapsing into its subterranean foundations in seconds. At 12:01 AM on September 6, the mission commander radioed the prearranged Hebrew code word back to the subterranean command bunker in Tel Aviv: "Arizona." All eight Israeli aircraft returned to base completely undamaged. What followed was one of the most remarkable diplomatic silences in modern warfare: Neither Israel nor Syria acknowledged what had occurred. Prime Minister Olmert imposed a strict military gag order on Israeli press, preventing Syrian President Bashar al-Assad from facing public pressure to retaliate. Desperate to conceal the illicit program from the IAEA, Syrian authorities deployed excavators within weeks, bulldozing the remaining rubble, scraping the topsoil, and erecting an innocuous civilian warehouse over the footprint. The veil broke in April 2008 when the CIA briefed the US Congress with unclassified surveillance footage and photos, confirming North Korea's covert nuclear proliferation. Israel officially lifted its censorship and confirmed the raid in March 2018.

Elon Musk’s daughter lives in Los Angeles with three roommates because it’s cheaper. She says she has no inheritance from the richest man in the world. Her name is Vivian Wilson. She is one of Elon’s children with his first wife, Justine. In 2022, at 18, she went to court to change her name. Her filing said she no longer wished to be related to her biological father in any way, shape or form. Two years later, Musk said in an interview that his child had been killed by the woke mind virus. She answered publicly. She called him uncaring and narcissistic. Most people still assume she lives on his money. She doesn’t. “I don’t have hundreds of thousands of dollars at my disposal,” she told New York magazine. “College is expensive. I don’t have that inheritance.” She says she can afford food, she has friends, a roof over her head and a little spending money. That’s it. She only became financially independent after she landed a Teen Vogue cover in 2025. Now she models and walks runways at New York Fashion Week. Her father is worth hundreds of billions. She splits rent four ways. Is walking away from a billionaire parent’s money strength or pride? Follow me for more stories like this.

You think that what is happening in Moscow has nothing to do with you—that it’s our problem. Putin hates people like me, certainly. But through us—in Russia, or through the revolutionaries in Ukraine or Georgia—it is you he hates: your democracy, your society, your freedoms. Do you think his regime is merely a threat to us? Your awakening will be brutal." Anna Politkovskaya, in Paris, 2005. She was assassinated in the lobby of her apartment building on October 7, 2006—Putin’s birthday.

🇺🇦 🇺🇲 The confrontation inside Trump's Ukraine peace negotiations is now coming into focus. Le Monde reports that Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner spent nearly three hours pitching Ukraine's presidential chief of staff, Kyrylo Budanov, a postwar economic arrangement built around restoring Russian oil and gas flows to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines. The meeting took place on October 9 at the Shell Bay golf club in Florida. Witkoff presented the proposal as a regional prosperity plan: Ukraine would collect transit revenues, Europe would receive cheaper energy, and Russia would regain access to commercial routes disrupted by the war. Budanov saw something fundamentally different. According to a witness cited by Le Monde, he objected that the arrangement would recreate Ukraine's dependence on Moscow. “Our model is not Belarus, but Poland!” he reportedly replied. The meeting was interrupted, and Budanov called Zelensky. When talks resumed, news arrived that Trump had announced a separate agreement with Putin involving Russian diesel. Le Monde reports that an irritated Witkoff then demanded that the Ukrainians accept the arrangement and stop striking Russian oil refineries, arguing that the attacks endangered the wider world. A source familiar with the Ukrainian delegation described its members as exceptionally distressed by the encounter. The account adds a revealing dimension to the commercial negotiations we have been tracking. The proposed Lukoil asset sale, Novatek's involvement in an Alaska LNG venture, the broader US-Russia list of business opportunities reported by the Financial Times, and now the proposed restoration of Russian energy transit through Ukraine all point to the prominence of energy deals in Washington's diplomatic approach. These are separate proposals, with different participants and legal circumstances. But Le Monde's reporting exposes the strategic disagreement underlying them. For Witkoff, restoring commercial flows appears to be part of the mechanism for producing a peace settlement. For Budanov, according to the account, those same flows threaten to restore Moscow's economic leverage over Ukraine. The reported exchange also raises a question about sequencing: why was Kyiv being pressed to stop attacking Russian refineries while Russia continued striking Ukrainian energy infrastructure? Le Monde's reconstruction relies on accounts of a private meeting. The reported exchanges have not been independently confirmed by the participants. Source: Le Monde

CHINA DEMANDS A MASSIVE PRICE FROM PUTIN FOR HELPING END THE WAR IN UKRAINE — BEIJING WANTS ALMOST UNLIMITED ACCESS TO RUSSIA’S NATURAL RESOURCES IN EXCHANGE FOR GUARANTEES OF A PEACE DEAL WITH TRUMP. According to alleged Kremlin insiders, Xi Jinping is prepared to become the main international guarantor of a future peace agreement on Ukraine. However, Chinese leaders have reportedly presented Moscow with a series of economic demands. Beijing wants to turn its participation in the peace negotiations into long-term advantages for Chinese businesses. The Kremlin is reportedly discussing just how many concessions it will have to make to secure Xi’s support in negotiations with Trump. China is primarily interested in deposits of rare-earth metals, copper, gold, and other natural resources in Siberia and the Russian Far East. Beijing is reportedly demanding priority access for Chinese companies to major extraction projects, long-term contracts for raw materials at preferential prices, and special privileges for Chinese investors. Expanding Chinese involvement in Russia’s forestry and energy industries is also reportedly under discussion. China wants these agreements finalized before any official announcement ending Russia’s war against Ukraine. Beijing fears that once American sanctions are potentially lifted, Russia could resume extensive cooperation with Western companies, threatening the privileged position Chinese investors have gained in recent years. Xi therefore wants binding guarantees that would remain in force regardless of any future rapprochement between Moscow and Washington. **For Putin, this creates a serious dilemma.** On one hand, China's participation could significantly increase the chances of reaching an agreement with Trump to end the fighting and gradually lift sanctions. On the other hand, accepting Beijing’s demands could mean that a substantial share of Russia’s future natural-resource revenues would effectively be tied to Chinese interests for decades. **In other words, Putin may have to mortgage Russia’s natural wealth to China in exchange for a way out of the war he started.**

Russian intelligence is riddled with Ukrainian agents. Right now, between 300 and 500 are operating inside Russia. They map the daily lives of Moscow's war criminals: where they sleep, who they fuck, what cars they drive, who cuts their hair. A new BBC documentary lays it bare. These agents delivered the kills that shook the Russian high command. General Igor Kirillov was taken out in December 2024. General Yaroslav Moskalik followed in April 2025. Lieutenant General Fanil Sarvarov was liquidated in December 2025. One agent, codenamed "Foma," described the grind of tailing Sarvarov. The general constantly changed routes and schedules, bouncing between his mistress's place and a colleague's apartment. Yet Ukrainian intelligence still found the pattern and struck. The same network feeds critical targeting data for strategic aviation strikes. It has mapped Shahed production lines in Yelabuga, directly enabling Ukrainian long-range operations. Even HUR handlers admit they can never be 100% sure of their Russian recruits. One agent keeps freely leaving Russia and returning. His curator openly says he cannot rule out the man is also working for the FSB. Every Russian general now has a new ghost in his life. The pizza delivery guy, the barber, the mistress, the security detail, even the admin of his favorite Telegram channel could be watching, reporting, and marking him for the next strike. Moscow's rear is burning, and its people are lighting the fuses.
