Russia has recruited thousands of young foreigners into its army to fight in Ukraine amid severe manpower shortages caused by over a million Russian troops killed or wounded. Many signed up to support their families but were misled into believing they would not see active combat

Today, I turn 40. Despite the scars from my arrest & torture by CAR soldiers, ordered by Russian mercenaries, I’m more determined than ever to expose their crimes in Africa. Join me in this fight. Please donate to my GoFundMe to support my investigations: www.gofundme.com/f/philip-oba...
Russia has a plan to cause trouble in Europe using trolls from Africa. They are setting up troll farms in countries like Ghana & Nigeria. These trolls spread lies in the media, aimed at creating division, fear, and chaos so they can weaken Europe’s power. The EU must wake up.
Took time in Paris to speak about the activities of Russian paramilitaries involved in the rape of dozens of girls and massacre of hundreds of civilians in West & Central Africa. Also explained how Russia targets European politics using hundreds of trolls operating in Africa.
I documented villages where civilians disappeared after encounters with Russian fighters. I spoke with kids who described torture. I walked through areas where people lived in fear. What I saw convinced me that Africa was becoming the stage for a new kind of geopolitical struggle
Russia's African footholds—now in over a dozen countries—serve as testing grounds for tactics later deployed in Europe. Control over migration routes in Libya and the Sahel gives Moscow leverage to weaponize refugees, much like Belarus did on the EU's eastern border in 2021.
Beautiful welcome to Washington Post HQ. Excited to meet some of the world’s most amazing journalists and happy to continue to uncover and document abuses committed by Russian paramilitaries in Africa.
Reporting on the Russian Wagner Group has come at a personal cost. I’ve been abducted, tortured, and targeted with death threats by their operatives & allies. Yet, I continue to speak out because the voices of the victims—the miners, the mothers, the children—deserve to be heard.
Europe can't afford to wait. Russian disinfo in Africa directly threatens Europe. Kremlin networks flood platforms with fake successes of juntas & stories painting Europe as the enemy. These campaigns open doors for Moscow's resource grabs & migration leverage against Europe
Russia and Belarus have manipulated illegal migration, using it as a hybrid weapon against Poland and Western nations.
What did you think of Song Sung Blue? Personally it’s my favorite love story of all time! Why? Because they were equal partners that had something deeply in common that carried their love story BEYOND just getting together! You don’t see that often! #songsungblue #nieldiamond #heartdiseaseawareness

President Trump is not telling the truth about prices, tariffs, the war and the 2020 Election. And the most dangerous lie in 2026: The SAVE Act.
Moroccan climber Nawal Sfendla has become the first Moroccan to summit both Everest and Lhotse back to back, the world's first and fourth highest mountain peaks. She has now summited six of the world's seven highest peaks.
Grandpa Dementia Pedophile Trump lost to E. Jean Carroll in court. Twice. So now his DOJ is investigating her. His former personal lawyer runs the department. This is retaliation dressed up as justice and every survivor is watching. Keep standing with survivors & call out the evil Epstein class.

Jon Lovett and Senator Cory Booker discuss the Keep Your Pay Act, the Senator’s proposal that would raise the standard deduction to $75,000 for married couples and eliminate income tax for a majority of Americans. Watch more Pod Save America on YouTube!
this is far more polite than Rage Against the Machine’s “fuck you won’t do you what you tell me” but is the same energy
Jared Kushner, the unelected grifter. Trump and his crime ridden family, sons, daughters and son-in-law, were ALL unelected. Both times foreign & national interests hijacked the election to control the United States government. Will they ever face justice?! The American people want justice!!
Happy Pride month to my friends, family, and anyone who celebrates their community and themselves this June Never doubt that you do have allies out here.
The world was watching China's Shenzhou-23 crewed spaceship lift off last week. With Western media calling the mission a key step toward China's crewed moon landing goal, with particular attention on the one-year in-orbit stay experiment this time.
I'm not sure how many are aware that this is happening. But we should be extremely concerned about this. We should not be integrated with the Israeli military. As a matter of fact, we should've cut Israel off decades ago. But right now, it's imperative to Americas survival.✂️✂️ #SheShed
