If Russia’s Telegram/WhatsApp state-run replacement is restricted to Russia and Belarus, it’s going to make monitoring the Russian media a lot harder when more channels have migrated, assuming the vlasti actually force that to happen.

Oof: “Russia & the US have discussed Israel’s occupation of the West Bank as a model for ending the war in Ukraine.

Russia is countering Ukrainian drone strikes with rolling blackouts of mobile Internet access in cities across the country, making the “not a cell phone in sight, just ppl living in the moment” meme into a national security doctrine.

Defeating the Golden Dome will come down to Russia’s experimental Burevestnik and whatever explosives the cartels can strap to a cheap Chinese drone.
