Kyiv Claims Putin Redirects Troops from Ukraine to Strengthen Russian Defense
Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region on August 6th has forced a significant shift in the war's dynamics. Reports suggest between 300-1,000 Ukrainian soldiers crossed the border, advancing rapidly. 🇺🇦🏃♂️ Ukrainian forces have reportedly seized 74 settlements in Kursk, according to President Zelensky. This includes the capture of the Sudzha gas metering station, a key part of Russia's European energy infrastructure. ❓🔧 The invasion has led to the displacement of nearly 200,000 Russian civilians, with 121,000 already having left their homes and another 180,000 ordered to evacuate. 🤯😬 Ukraine's Foreign Ministry states that the incursion is not about taking territory, but rather to force Russia to restore a just peace. The raids are described as a response to Putin's continued aggression. 🕊️👊 Russian President Vladimir Putin has been forced to redeploy troops from occupied areas in Ukraine to defend Russian soil. Units have been relocated from Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions, according to Ukrainian Army spokesperson Dmytro Lovi. 😬🤐

The Lost Art of Knowing
When one of the regulars down at Iona’s Salon and Nail Emporium gets to going on about how that good-for-nothing thing she married, only because she was pregnant and her mom insisted, is doing something she doesn’t quite approve of. Something like hanging pictures of scantily clad women up in his man cave, but no one really cares or even notices. She goes on about that all the time and he hangs up the pics just so she has interesting stories to tell when she stops by Iona’s every Thursday at 4:00. Being a regular at Iona’s does not carry much social or international import, as one might imagine. However, the same does not apply to someone who aspires to be the President of the United States. That office demands experience, temperance, wisdom, patience, formidable poker skills and perhaps more than anything else, the ability to make world-class errors, repair them as best as they can be repaired and just keep on keeping on as fairly as you can afford to be. It does not, and never will, require a thin-skinned revenge-a-maniac who is indulgently appeasing his every waking moment just so he doesn’t go wild doxing anyone in sight. Just because they never genuflected when in his presence.
