Your guest called anti-fascist armed resistance in former Yugoslavia 'Serbian partisans'. Absolutely wrong, they were Yugoslav Partisans lead by half Croat half Slovene.

[@squallp]

man partisans were like 90% serbian, there were Slovenians, Bosniaks, Macedonians, Dalmatia Croats but to say half hahahha that's ignoring facts.

Francis's editorial statements on the French election are somewhat inaccurate, particularly his statements about the vote projections. All of the vote projections I've seen indicate that it's very unlikely that RN will win a controlling majority, and they don't even take extensive plans for tactical voting into consideration. Moreover, the RN's leader says he will not form a minority gov't. The projections are that RN will fall short of 289 majority, with a projected total of 230 to 280 seats (again, these projections don't take probable tactical voting into effect). In addition, Frances only briefly mentioned (i.e., glossed over) tactical voting, and didn't mention the very significant fact that in 200 of 577 districts, either the Centrist or Left-leaning candidate has taken their name off the ballot to help the other win over RN candidate. It now appears that, with tactical voting, the most likely outcome may be a coalition gov't led by Macron's party and the Left-leaning bloc, with perhaps some support from Les Republicains. The next most likely outcome is probably a hung parliament, and the third possibility would be a surprise majority win by RN.

The media is calling Le Pen's recent success as a "far right" victory, which isn't surprising given that, on average, the media calls the right "far right" five times more often than it calls the left "far left". (I discovered this disparity by searching Google for the exact phrase "far right" and then for the exact phrase "far left". The former returned 151 million results whereas the latter returned 30 million -- and 151M divided by 30M equals 5.03.)

Venezuela welcomed the arrival of the Russian Northern Fleet's naval strike group to its national waters, Jose Manuel Suarez, mayor of the Vargas municipality in La Guaira state told RIA Novosti on Wednesday. "The visit of this Russian frigate and all its personnel carries a message of peace, harmony and protection, because we are the people defending our beloved Motherland, and it is for the whole world," Suarez added. On Tuesday, the Russian fleet, comprising the Yasen-M-class guided missile nuclear submarine Kazan, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov, the supply tanker Akademik Pashin, and the rescue tug Nikolai Chiker, entered the port of La Guaira as part of their long-distance voyage. The navy ships had previously stopped in Cuban territorial waters, situated just 90 miles away from the United States.

Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov accused on Wednesday the West of purposefully dragging out the conflict in Ukraine. Belousov stated that Washington and its allies "prepared and provoked the Ukrainian crisis" and are now responsible for deliberately prolonging the war. Furthermore, Belousov said Western countries "in every possible way condone the interim government of Ukraine in the widespread imposition of Nazism in its most acute manifestations." Andrey Belousov was appointed the new Russian Defense Minister in May this year, succeeding Sergey Shoygu in the post the latter had held for many years. Earlier in the day, Belousov was elected chairman of the Council of Defense Ministers of CIS countries and the decision was unanimously approved at the meeting held in Minsk, the capital of Belarus.

Russia will complete the special military operation in the autumn of 2024. Deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the General Staff, Apti Alaudinov, said on Channel One that Kyiv also understands that the armed confrontation between Russia and Ukraine is nearing its end. In early June, Alaudinov said that Russia would win the special military operation in Ukraine by the end of 2024. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the conflict in Ukraine would end immediately after the cessation of arms supplies to Kyiv.

According to preliminary reports from the front, the Russian army took control of the Kanal district in the city of Chasov Yar. The Paratroopers of the 98th airborne brigade destroyed the last Ukrainian military positions in the multistory buildings in the western part of the district. The Ukrainian garrison in Kanal was suppressed and destroyed. According to some reports from the battlefield, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are still present in some buildings on the western outskirts; but the further defense of the remaining positions is senseless. Russian flags are waving on the ruins of the last destroyed building in the district. Earlier, the Ukrainian military command began withdrawing the remaining forces to the main part of the city across the Seversky Donets-Donbass canal. Amid the heavy battles on the streets of the Kanal district, the Russian army mopped up the forest area north of the district and took control of the southern part of the village of Kalinovka. Some Ukrainian forces are reportedly still present in the southern forests near the road between the settlements.

A Moscow court on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant of former Ukraine's Prime Minister Volodymyr Groysman, former Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin, former Finance Minister Oleksandr Shlapak, and head of Western Operational Command of Ukraine's Ground Forces Ihor Dovhan, charging the four individuals with the "use of prohibited means and methods of warfare." Last month, the Basmanny District Court arrested in absentia the former head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Information Policy, Yuriy Stets, and the former Minister of Justice Pavlo Petrenko on the same charges. In April, Russia's Investigative Committee charged Groysman, Klimkin, and Stets for their involvement in Ukraine's military response to Russia's operation in Donbass in 2014. In May, the Russian Interior Ministry expanded its wanted list to include both current and former Ukrainian presidents, Volodymyr Zelensky, and Petro Poroshenko. However, the criminal charges have not been specified.

I know all about how the Eastern Ukrainians were cut off from banking services, from state benefits, and Russia had to pay for it all. People who stayed, exchanged their Ukrainian passports for DPR and LPR passports, and most recently for Russian ones. They have been paying Russisn taxes and getting Russian benefits so why not? If people wanted Ukrainian benefits, they had to move outside of separatist areas to get access to all that. Russia has been paying for the local adminstration since 2014.
