A regime change would truly be desirable and would very likely make the world a safer place.  
However, Rubio&#039;s chief now seems more inclined towards some sort of agreement with the existing regime.]]></description>

&quot;Russia writhes in internal agony – Russian partisans fight against Putin

After promising information about the opposition that actually hides beneath the surface in Russia, I have spent a couple of months searching for and mapping the various organizations that nevertheless exist and conduct some activities in Russia. To my great surprise (and joy), there are incredibly many more than I thought! Moreover, there are many fighters who combat Putin et consortes with weapons in hand!

That the organizations really exist and are active can often be seen by examining their Telegram channels. Here one can review the number of posts, how many subscribe to the channels, and other similar data.

In recent months, a number of different events have made Russians reflect on what is happening in their dear Rodina. Besides a series of highly successful attacks from Ukraine&#039;s side, Russian citizens (sic!) have also carried out several attacks on the country&#039;s railway connections and on several authorities and companies, which has been extremely frustrating for Putin and his henchmen. And there are still many Russians who dare to protest despite the threat of long and vile punishments. Often it does not take long before people with protest placards or distributing flyers are arrested by rough police or FSB agents. Demonstrations are usually dispersed by participants being beaten or arrested by plainclothes police.

But mostly it concerns internal opposition work against Vladimir Putin and Moscow by completely peaceful means such as flyer distribution, demonstrations, posting posters, sticking stickers, and a number of what we see as both peaceful and democratic means. However, this does not matter to Putin and his henchmen – it often results in many years of imprisonment anyway. That there are citizens in Russia who know that even the smallest outbreaks of protest lead to these horribly draconian punishments and despite this persist, we must meet with great admiration and, if possible, with as much support as possible!

However, there are a number of Russian partisan groups who fight Putin and his racist dictatorship with weapons in hand. Relatively few young men from Moscow and St Petersburg are forced to fight in the illegal war of aggression against Ukraine, while an excessive number of men from the non-Russian regions are forced to engage in the Russian genocide in Ukraine. This racist policy naturally strengthens the non-Russian peoples&#039; aversion to Putin and Moscow.

Hundreds of organizations criticize the authorities!
Despite harsh laws that result in blacklisting of both individuals and various associations, which for several years have been listed by the Russian authorities as &quot;foreign agents&quot; or &quot;undesirable organizations,&quot; they do not back down but continue to fight. Examining the information published by the Russian authorities and often also found among the Russian opposition, one finds hundreds of associations that pursue a different policy than Putin&#039;s. There are also associations that conduct various forms of social activities to cover the deficiencies present in Russia&#039;s various authorities.

Over 400 associations of various kinds can be described as &quot;anti-Putin.&quot; Many of them have existed for several decades, but it is not difficult to see that many became active with the start of Russia&#039;s illegal war of aggression in February 2022. Perhaps most interesting are the groups that can be described as anarchists, feminists, or ethnically oriented groups. Here we find the most active people and those who dare the most.

Partisan groups
What I find most interesting and extremely encouraging are the various partisan groups now active in Russia. At the time of writing, there are over 30 partisan groups active in Russia (sic!). I know it sounds like a lot, but the surprising number is largely due to disinterest or cowardice from the media and Western analysts. It should be said that this is not an easy subject to tackle, but it is definitely not an impossible task. More on this will come in a follow-up article in a couple of days.

PS. The accompanying picture is taken from a demonstration in early 2026.&quot;]]></description>

&lt;p&gt;Yes, an attack on Iran was justified.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However - regime change is needed, otherwise they will just develop nuclear weapons as soon as the pressure is gone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Or get something from NK or RU.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A new administration is needed.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
