Ukraine to hold first war crimes trial of captured Russian

this is something to keep an eye on because how they handle war crimes trials could be messy if it turns into show trials. I don't think they will make that mistake./
edit: i don't know why it says gas stuff, it's about holding war crimes trials

(Midterms thread crosspost)
Driving through rural Maine this weekend, I saw a lot more Ukraine flags than MAGA stuff. I feel like if Dems hammering home the point that a lot of these Republicans support Putin might be the best strategy. At the very least, maybe we can return to the old fashioned neocon war hawks of my young adulthood! Like the aforementioned McCain!

They should use it to divide the GOP by stressing how some "true" republicans support Ukraine and other "extremist/traitors" don't by using cut-out Concerned Citizen group PAC shit. Because anything the Dems themselves advocate for directly to the GOP base becomes toxic.

US general says Elon Musk's Starlink has 'totally destroyed Putin's information campaign'
The satellite-internet service is used to plan missions and fight Russian misinformation, as well as keep soldiers in touch with family, per Politico.
Gotta give credit where it’s due, also he didn’t even ask for it. In spite of his edgelord nature this guy does seem to do a lot of good.

Whether we like it or not, Elon Musk is a very very likely candidate to be the one person from our time that people remember in the year 2525.

Russian Defenses Crumble as Ukraine Retakes Key Territory
Ukraine’s forces continued their rapid advance in the Kharkiv region on Sunday, exploiting an extraordinary collapse of Russian defenses and raising the question of how far they can go.
www.bloomberg.com
Ukraine has been really kicking ass the last week or two on the Kharkov front. They've taken a lot of territory back and destroyed a lot of Russian equipment etc. Of course this also brings risks as the article discusses but it's pretty amazing the way they keep pulling this stuff off and with winter rapidly closing in there's only so much time left for offensive operations.
Of course Putin is intending to really squeeze Europe during the winter which is going to be interesting in a different way.
the way the Russian media has changed it's tone is fucking hilarious. Actual quote "it's impossible to defeat Ukraine".
Ukraine has retaken 3,000 square miles now.
