It is terrorism. If Reuters is not calling it terrorism, it does not make it not terrorism.

The ICC is a joke. It does not "work" on US presidents and politicians.

Kim Dotcom is still harassed because he is very vocal against the US and what is happening in Ukraine. https://x.com/KimDotcom

The US narrative on Ukraine and Israel is getting weaker. Thorns like Kim Dotcom that has a big following, Telegram that is the only social platform to access the Russian side of the events, can break the US narrative.

It is ironic that the US screams Russia did a war crime in Bucha but Israel on Gaza is fine.

Ukraine is being played in this proxy war. We are dumping them as soon as they are of no use to us. Like many times before.

Facebook does not generally take down content that is offensive or criminal in nature.

The have moderation teams because they are required by law. These are outsourced to the lowest bidder. They are so overwhelmed by the amount of that content.

Watch those documentaries about the psychological traumas inflicted to those that moderate Facebook content.

Bad operational security. Still it is them communicating with each other using Discord. They use Telegram to communicate with the masses.

Between Ukraine and Russia, Telegram is the only choice for Russia.

Ukraine has many many other options.

What else is there for Russians to communicate with the outer world?

The extent of the accusations is evidence that all that is made up in order to get access into Telegram. Telegram is too important to the other side in the Ukraine war. If Telegram goes, then the other side is silenced.

We do not really care about "democracies". We just want friendly governments that are on our side. We are fine with Saudi Arabia which is the exact opposite of a democracy because they are our loyal ally.

We prefer "democracies" because we can covertly influence their elections.

Our democracy is not good either. We still hold elections on Tuesdays, an inconvenience to many. Why not on a Sunday like everyone else? We have just two political parties, no third-party candidate is ever going to get elected.

It's the other way around. The US has done a lot of work to contain Russia and not allow them to develop their economy.

The Ukraine War though has been now transformed into an Afghanistan War. No end in sight, wasting a lot of money, and a distraction to important issues.

Also it has been empowering the opposition against the dollar. The US cannot support a 34 trillion dollar debt if fewer countries use the dollar.
