As the view from Moscow becomes increasingly embarrassing, it seems increasingly likely Putin will start a new more desperate phase of his war against Ukraine. Experts expect him to start a quiet mobilization of troops shortly after tomorrow's parliamentary elections. He seems to want 300,000 - 500,000 new soldiers. Despite increasing payments, recruitment has been failing to keep pace with the rising casualties. We can also expect Putin to step up attacks against Europe. More drones flying into European air space, and more stuff like this: • On August 4, 2026, a bomb squad at Leipzig/Halle A… pravda.com.ua

The Republican Party's midterm convention used the traditional red, white and blue decorations - but added Trump's favorite color: gold. I recommend that they use a new US flag. The traditional colors were red for blood, white for purity and blue for justice. The new version features red for blood, gold for wealth and purple for monarchy. Related

I am not running for re-election as a Justice of the Peace in November (14 years is enough) and I'm mostly fine with it but will miss getting to run the tabulator for elections. Today was one of those nice primaries where the people I campaigned for, gave advice to, and talked to today, all won (N=3) and the less-evil sheriff candidate handily won. I got to work the polls with my friends and see my neighbors. I'm not a big voting personal generally, but I like small town elections #vermont Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
