Now there's a surprise.
The scare stories promoted by Porter and Courtinio and shared by right wing press turned out to be nothing and their desperation to claim failure as pushed the grid to operate even more cautiously.

西方部分政客一直在私下劝乌克兰：把东部的顿巴斯让出去，战争不就能停了吗？
“土地换和平”，听上去像是一笔务实的妥协。
泽连斯基在布鲁塞尔的新闻发布会上，说出了自己的逻辑，各位且听，有没有道理：
如果普京真的只想要顿巴斯，2022 年 2 月全面开战的第一天，俄军装甲部队为什么要直扑基辅？
基辅在乌克兰中北部。
离顿巴斯前线有六七百公里。
那里既不是俄语区争议的核心，也没有东部的煤矿工业带。
那是首都。
一个国家的神经中枢。
当时俄军精锐伞兵强行突降安东诺夫机场，几十公里长的机械化纵队从切尔诺贝利一路向南狂飙，目标只有一个：
斩首政府班子，瘫痪全军指挥系统，彻底抹掉这个国家的主权。
没有首都，就没有国家。
今天俄军为什么把大部分主力压在顿巴斯打残酷的阵地战？
不是因为莫斯科的胃口变小了。
是因为他们在基辅城外被打崩了，后勤补给全线断裂，不得不狼狈撤退。
打不下首都，才被迫缩回东部，靠漫无止境的炮火犁地打消耗战。
把军事失利后的被动收缩，说成自己自始至终只要东部，这本身就是战场受挫后的包装。
如果乌克兰真听了那些政客的劝告，主动从顿巴斯撤军，接下来会发生什么？
很多人不知道顿巴斯在军事防御上意味着什么。
从 2014 年起，乌克兰依托当地密集的重工业城市群和高地，修筑了整整十年的坚固防御带。
斯拉维扬斯克、克拉马托尔斯克，地下工事纵横，全是最坚固的钢筋混凝土支撑点。
这是挡住俄军向西推进的最厚一道装甲盾牌。
一旦乌克兰为了换取一纸停火协议把这些阵地拱手让出，整条防线就必须向西后撤数百公里。
防线后面是一马平川的平原，无险可守。
这等于自己走出修了十年的堡垒，站在开阔地上，把命运押在侵略者的信誉上。
面对一个公开宣称乌克兰根本不配算作一个国家和民族的对手，让步换不来满足。
割让土地只会向对方发出最危险的激励信号：暴力吞并确实有效。
停火只会给对方提供宝贵的喘息期，重组军工产能，补充前线兵员，把重炮和装甲集结地直接前移到乌克兰毫无遮拦的腹地门槛上。
等下一轮攻势再次打响，乌克兰已经失去了最后一道天然屏障。
那些在布鲁塞尔催促乌克兰早点签字妥协的人，总觉得这是花最少代价结束冲突的捷径。
泽连斯基把欧洲一直避而不谈的后果直接摆上了台面：
如果乌克兰的防御彻底崩塌，国家解体，会发生什么？
两千万难民将直接涌入欧洲。
欧洲各国的边境管控、财政预算、社会治安和福利系统，会在几个月内被彻底冲垮。
为了看守多出来的两千公里高危边境，北约必须把几十万正规部队永久前移，常年维持战备。
现在省下来的每一笔防务预算，日后都会变成整个欧洲不得不掏出十倍代价去填的安全黑洞。
在残酷的地缘现实面前，最致命的幻想就是拿生存底牌去喂侵略者的胃口。
停火线从来不是靠善意画出来的。
面对一个旨在消灭你国家地位的对手，你主动让出的每一寸阵地，最后都会变成刺向你胸口的下一柄刺刀。

On 19 July 2024, I published two posts on my X account in which I made allegations about Mr Mothin Ali being involved in the Harehills riots. I have accepted these were incorrect and I have jointly made a statement in open Court in order to apologise to Mr Ali and correct the record which is below.

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.

For all those saying that there’s no correlation between bot traffic and the ‘patriot’s’ engagement:
I was sceptical about the claimed number of Russian bot accounts, but seeing posts like this no longer get piled on pretty much proves this platform had been converted into a targeted misinformation site by Russia.
I'm testing the Russian bots, because traffic from Yandex bots is currently close to zero (check Cloudflare Radar). That's because Ukraine has imposed a ban on them — by firepower.
So I'm going to say the following things, which will most likely generate organic, authentic, human traffic, but without the bot traffic. Let's see:
* russia is a criminal state;
* russia is a terrorist state;
* russia is ruled by a criminal regime;
* Putin and the entire russian leadership, from 2014 and 2022 onwards, should find themselves inside the courtroom of The Hague Tribunal;
* Ukraine is defending itself against all of russia's attacks, pressure from the Trump Administration, and shipments of sophisticated components from around the world, including Europe;
* The Ukrainian people are, first and foremost, the ones whom we in Romania — and the Republic of Moldova as well (or especially) — should thank for keeping the russian Army at bay;
* The European Union is the best thing that has happened to Romania since the Great Union of 1918;
* The United States of America under Donald Trump has become nothing more than an empty shell of the values and principles it championed for decades;
* Donald Trump is a convicted common criminal, now also suspected of pedophilia and other forms of sexual abuse against girls and women in connection with the Epstein files;
* Elon Musk is an individual who has absolutely nothing to do with ethics or morality, not even remotely.
Feel free to add other things that might attract the bots' attention, and let's see whether they're still operating or not.

Since the attack on the Russian data centre. The traffic for the ‘patriot party’ is mysteriously off a cliff
BeSteveL 🐝💚 retweeted
If confirmed, this is telling: Russian data centres get hit, and online activity around AfD suddenly plummets. 📉
So much talk about German patriotism… then the connection from Russia goes down. 🤔🇷🇺

Another basic @7Kiwi mistake ends up being published by a think tank, then used in an economic proposal by the opposition.
It's not difficult to check your sources & verify their figures, unless of course this was a deliberate attempt to mislead.

Uh oh. The Conservatives, Reform UK and others have been using false figures for Net Zero. The cost of net zero is just 0.2% of GDP. The savings from Net Zero last for 1000s of years and include health, ecosystem services and a more stable climate than it would otherwise become.

I hadn’t realised just how vulnerable the UK’s gas network really is. Just one conventional ballistic missile on the Peterborough Compressor Station can cripple the entire network. Just another reason to electrify I guess?🤔 youtu.be/sKDnZz4wypI?is=-YsN…

Vegetables are now half as nutritious than 60 years ago, study suggests
Fewer than a third of wheat varieties used in bread released since the 1960s meet the recommended zinc target, due to poor soil quality, with climate change set to drive further decreases in nutritional density

Spending year after year for a decade hoping & praying for a random grid blackout, so you can blame it on Renewables, is like praying your very reliable car will brake down just so you can say that the Sainsbury’s petrol you’ve been using for 10 years is crap.

To wideo z martwym dzieckiem wyciąganym z gruzów powinno prześladować nocą każdego hamulcowego pomocy na rzecz zatrzymania Rosji na Ukrainie. Ten koszmar sam się nie skończy.
