Russian Special Ops Forces Capture Three British โSoldiersโ
Colonel Edward Blake and Lietenant Colonel Richard Carroll
If true, this adds a new twist to the war in Ukraine. I first heard this claim a couple of days ago on BORZZIKMANโs channelโฆ The Russians captured three Brits in a small town west of Odessa. I was leery of reporting it without additional confirmation.
Then I found another sourceโฆ the Eurasia Daily, which reported that Lieutenant Colonel Richard Carroll, and Colonel Edward Blake, both active-duty officers of the British Army, along with as as-yet unidentified Agent of British MI-6 (Intelligence) were captured during a daring raid by Russian Special Forces, in the city of Ohakiv. That city is shown on the scalable map below:

Anyone know of any alternatives to #Cyd?
Not sure if it's always been this way but apparently you can't migrate your old #Twitter/#X account to #Bluesky without paying for the "pro" version?
Look, I get it. Everyone deserves to reap the rewards the fruit of their labor provides.
I just wish I knew that up front because I wasted the time and energy to download my old Twitter account data (and waiting the 24 hours) and going through the entire wizard/ steps that Cyd makes you walk through, only to be told at the very last step that the one thing I wanted to do I'd have to fork over an uncertain amount of money to actually do?
(There were no prices on the step in the wizard that told me I'd need to pay-up if I wanted to continue. Only that I must upgrade to "Pro" before continuing.)
Because had I known that originally, I wouldn't have bothered.
And I guess that's the design and intent.
Like I said, everyone deserves to monetize whatever shit they want.
I just wish I knew about it at the start so I could have made an informed decision.
Because right now I feel a little bit used.
