first, I could care less if she used AI to create the picture. Watch the video. The logic is there. Second, the hand over the chest looks to be sporting nail polish. So, not his hand.

Even the second hand could be the hand of the guy who is just behind him off to his right. It's not clear enough to even distinguish a thumb or pinkie finger. Could be he is using a phone. Again, if it's AI generated, which it probably is, so what. The content of the video is real. It's not AI generated.

I know Gilligan, address the topic of the video, post, for once. Present evidence showing she is wrong. I know I know, you're not up to it; too bad.

Simplicius
Sep 03, 2026

There continue to be major signs of internal turmoil in Ukraine. The latest occurred yesterday when a gunfight erupted between the two security apparatuses of the SBU and GUR, with multiple operatives being shot and wounded.

The below video showcases the initiating moments, but the gunfights were said to last for hours afterwards:

Why on earth would I ever address one of your brainrot videos seriously, you stupid shit?

Just in this thread alone you've posted over a hundred that have meant nothing.

You're a fucking moron, Ted.

Don't address me. You're so beneath me.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, September 4, 2026

https://understandingwar.org/research/russia-ukraine/russian-offensive
-campaign-assessment-september-4-2026
/

Ukrainian sources also estimated that Russian forces can maintain live operator control via a chain of mesh-controlled Geran-type drones up to 150-175 kilometers from the furthest mesh ground control station, a twofold increase in the technology’s previous range compared to 2025.[13] The increasing Russian jet-powered drone speed and flight range at which Russian operators can remotely control them are allowing Russian forces to conduct high–precision strikes against valuable and dynamic targets.



Russian sources falsely and baselessly claimed that Russian forces encircled 2,000 Ukrainian forces northeast of Kharkiv City. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed on September 3 that elements of the Russian Northern Grouping of Forces (GoF) seized Vasylivka, Blahodatne, and Dovzhanka (all northeast of Kharkiv City).[1] The Russian Northern GoF additionally claimed on September 3 that Russian forces seized Slyzneve (northeast of Kharkiv City) and baselessly claimed that Russian forces completed an encirclement of 2,000 Ukrainian soldiers.[2] Several Russian milbloggers amplified claims about a Russian encirclement of Ukrainian forces northeast of Kharkiv City along the international border on September 3 and 4.[3] Russian sources did not present any visual evidence to support their claims, and some Russian sources even cast doubt on the claims about a grand encirclement. A Kremlin-affiliated milblogger acknowledged on September 3 that claims about Russian forces’ complete encirclement of Ukrainian forces required further confirmation, for example.[4] The Ukrainian 16th Army Corps directly refuted the Russian claims about the seizures of the mentioned settlements on September 3, directly refuting claims that Russian forces had encircled any Ukrainian forces in the corps’ area of responsibility.[5] The 16th Corps emphasized that Russian false encirclement claims emerged against the backdrop of a growing gasoline crisis in Russia, Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries and warehouses, and the upcoming State Duma elections. Russian high-ranking officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the Russian MoD have continuously made exaggerated claims about Russian battlefield performance — including false claims about large encirclements of Ukrainian forces — as part of Russia’s systematic cognitive warfare effort to portray Russian forces as making sweeping advances and Ukrainian defenses as collapsing. Putin recently and baselessly claimed that the Russian Western GoF encircled 13 Ukrainian battalions with a total of around 5,000 servicemembers on the eastern shore of the Oskil Reservoir near Pisky-Radkivski (south of Borova and roughly 16 kilometers from the frontline) on September 2, for example.[6]

Drones have been chasing humans now for many years. The US used them in Afghanistan, the Israelis use them in Gaza, the Russians and Ukrainians both use them on the frontline to kill soldiers. But the way in which they are being used now in southern Ukraine, especially in the city of Kherson, feels different. The video above, which went viral last week, shows a drone that is clearly intelligent, or is anyway being used by someone who can see what it sees. Its cameras and navigation allow it to chase its targets as they run and hide.

The possible uses of this new way of waging war - or of settling arguments, or of committing crimes - are now infinite. The Financial Times wrote last week about Colombian narcos and paramilatries who are signing up to fight in Ukraine in order to learn how to use drones. They want to take the technology home and use it against their government. Also this week, German officials found a drone packed with explosives at Leipzig airport, which they are treating as an attempted terrorist attack. We may be just at the beginning of a new wave of drone terrorism for which nobody is yet prepared.

Although not all Pentagon procurement officers (or indeed Pentagon leaders) know it yet, nobody is prepared, technically or psychologically, for a new era of intelligent, deadly machines. Warfare is on its way to being transformed beyond recognition. Separate drone battalions are a thing of the past. Every aspect of fighting now requires drones, and drone interceptors.

How long until the rest of the world also experiences this change? Crime and terrorism will be transformed next, followed by the work of lawyers and police. Today’s bizarre dystopia, something we view in video clips coming from Ukraine, might be tomorrow’s new normal.

Realistic Conditions for Ceasefire Unlikely Before Spring, Budanov Says

By Katherina Popilnichenko | Sep 05, 2026 14:02

https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/realistic-conditions-for-ceas
efire-unlikely-before-spring-budanov-says-22249


Negotiations to end Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine could resume in late September, though realistic conditions for a ceasefire are unlikely to emerge before spring.

Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Budanov shared these projections during an interview with The New York Times on September 4.

A new round of discussions is expected in late September, shortly after Russia’s parliamentary elections and weeks ahead of the US midterm elections. The process may begin with a visit to Kyiv by US presidential representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, following a previous proposal by Moscow for Ukrainian representatives to travel to the Russian capital.

During an earlier round of negotiations in February 2026, Moscow unexpectedly invited the Ukrainian delegation to visit the Russian capital to continue talks, which could have allowed for a direct meeting with Vladimir Putin.

However, the trip presented significant security risks for the Ukrainian team. Budanov is currently on Russia's wanted list over terrorism charges filed during his time as head of military intelligence. Ultimately, the Ukrainian delegation declined the trip to Moscow, bringing negotiations to a standstill.

Russia is currently escalating the situation as both sides seek to improve their leverage ahead of potential agreements.

According to The New York Times, perspectives within the Ukrainian leadership remain divided regarding the negotiation process. Some officials advocate pursuing an agreement to prevent further loss of life, while others caution that major concessions could negatively impact the Ukrainian military and society.

Budanov noted that he has engaged in multiple direct communications with the head of Russian military intelligence, Igor Kostyukov. Their initial contact took place in 2022 through Turkish mediation, focusing specifically on establishing Black Sea maritime corridors for Ukrainian grain exports.

Previously, CIA Director John Ratcliffe made an unannounced visit to Moscow, where he sought to persuade Russian leadership that its position was weak and that further escalation would only worsen its circumstances.

However, his efforts failed to convince Vladimir Putin to make concessions on Ukraine, and the Kremlin instead hardened its stance. Following the meetings, Russian forces intensified strikes on Kyiv, signaling to Washington that Moscow intended to continue its offensive without shifting to a more flexible position.

Soviet “Mirror-Image Crimes”: How Moscow Blamed Others for Its Atrocities for Decades—and Is Doing It Again Today

04.09.2026 20:00

https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-factcheck/4160921-soviet-mirrorimage-
crimes-how-moscow-blamed-others-for-its-atrocities-for-decadesand-is-doing-it-again-today.html


The Soviet Union blamed the German Nazis for some of the crimes of World War II, while the Nazis blamed the Soviets. Can the truth be found between the two myths?

The blowing up of the Dormition Cathedral and Khreshchatyk in 1941, the execution of more than 20,000 Polish officers at Katyn, and the mass killings of prisoners in the prisons of Lviv and Vinnytsia: how Soviet propaganda concealed its own bloody trail by blaming the Nazis, and why modern-day Russia is once again using exactly the same tools of pathological deception.

Ukrinform, in cooperation with the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, presents a new episode of the multimedia project “Truth or Myth: The Soviet Era.” New video episodes are available on the websites of Ukrinform and the Ukrainian Institute of National Memory, on social media, and in text format.

The idea for this episode was prompted by the “dear” Russians when, during yet another massive attack on Kyiv, they struck the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra. The Russian propaganda machine then deployed its now-traditional set of falsehoods: “We do not strike such targets,” “A Ukrainian air-defense missile changed course,” or “This is an insinuation and a staged provocation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.”

Such Kremlin rhetoric is not a product of the present day, but a direct continuation of Soviet methods. During World War II, Stalin’s regime systematically committed “mirror-image crimes”—destroying architectural gems, mining civilian infrastructure, and carrying out mass executions—then immediately blaming the German occupiers.

Below, we explain how the Soviet propaganda machine operated, who actually blew up the heart of Kyiv in 1941, and why the Russians still keep the archives they seized classified.

MYTH 1. THE DORMITION CATHEDRAL AND KHRESHCHATYK WERE BLOWN UP BY THE GERMAN OCCUPIERS IN 1941

MYTH 2. THE MASS EXECUTIONS OF POLISH MILITARY PERSONNEL AT KATYN WERE THE WORK OF THE NAZI INVADERS

MYTH 3. THE TORTURE AND EXECUTIONS OF PRISONERS IN THE PRISONS OF LVIV AND VINNYTSIA, AND THE “IRREFUTABLE” SOVIET EVIDENCE

WORLD EXPERIENCE. HOW THE “MIRROR-IMAGE ACCUSATION” TECHNIQUE WORKED IN OTHER CONFLICTS

Weekend Update #201: It Will Be A Brutal Fall and Winter
Trump Speaks His Truth About Russia And Ukraine: Drapatyi’s Principles

Phillips P. OBrien
Sep 06, 2026

Hello all,

One point I have tried to get across in this Substack from the very beginning is that in a war, length is far more important than ferocity. Trying to keep a war from escalating might seem like a prudent thing (and academic theory, which simply does not understand history, says as much). However, clamping down on escalation can actually make things far worse. What such a move can do, in a vain attempt to keep a war under control, is lengthen a war beyond all expectation. And length of war is almost always the key variable in how horrible a war becomes. Short escalation, if it can be effective, is far preferable to the kind of long and grotesque war we are now seeing.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov Says “Real War” With Germany Has Begun

By Ivan Khomenko | Sep 06, 2026 17:22

https://united24media.com/war-in-ukraine/russian-fm-lavrov-says-real-w
ar-with-germany-has-begun-22274


Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov described Germany’s accusations against Moscow over an attempted explosive-drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport as the beginning of a “real war,” as relations between Berlin and Moscow deteriorate following the incident.

Lavrov rejected Germany’s assessment that Russia was responsible for the attempted attack, calling the accusations “by and large, the start of a real war.” He made the remarks after Berlin announced diplomatic and security measures against Russia over the incident.

Lavrov also accused German Chancellor Friedrich Merz of pursuing the militarization of Germany. “Merz is, in essence, declaring war on us,” Lavrov said.

The German government concluded on September 1 that Russia was responsible for the attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle Airport on August 4. German authorities said police investigations, intelligence findings, and the characteristics of the drones, explosives, and detonation systems pointed to Russian involvement.

An explosive-equipped drone was discovered in a secured section of the airport near Ukrainian cargo aircraft and was defused by specialists. German authorities said subsequent findings indicated that three drones may have been involved in the operation.

Berlin responded by ordering the closure of Russia’s Consulate General in Bonn and the Russian House cultural center in Berlin, while also announcing tighter controls on Russian nationals entering Germany and additional measures targeting Russian-linked activities.

Russia has denied responsibility for the attempted attack and accused Germany of fabricating evidence to implicate Moscow.

The Leipzig incident has also prompted Germany to expand its defenses against hybrid threats. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt has outlined plans to strengthen counter-drone capabilities and deploy specialized federal police units to protect airports, railway stations, government facilities, and other critical infrastructure.
