Janoninho stated that Lula had congratulated the mobilization of the previous day and called on supporters to return to the streets that day. He advocated for the group to be out daily on the streets and social media, said that they already had 5 million people gathered, and questioned why they couldn't reach 6 or 7 million, or surpass the Chinese army. He also declared that the "tetra" was coming and referred to Lula's supporters as Lula's army. #Lula #Mobilização #Exercito (translated)

Marco Setaccioli challenged Marco Travaglio's calculations on European and Russian military spending, stating that Travaglio had indicated 450 billion euros for Europe and 150 for Russia and had argued that Russia had reason to fear Europe, which had invaded it four times in the last 200 years. According to Setaccioli, in the current year Russia would have spent around 17 trillion rubles on defense, equivalent to 181 billion euros, a figure indicated, according to him, by most analysts. He noted that the nominal comparison did not take purchasing power into account: applying indices developed by specialized research centers, Russian spending would rise to 574 billion international dollars, compared to about 700 billion for the entire EU. He added that the EU would have three and a half times the population of Russia and a GDP nine times greater. Setaccioli argued that the Russian federal budget did not show all military costs. He cited studies by economist Craig Kennedy, according to which part of the spending would be financed through subsidized loans and would thus remain on the banks' balance sheets. He also recalled an investigation by Dozhd', which, according to him, had documented pressures on private companies to hire people before signing contracts with the military and to supplement salaries with corporate funds. He added that at least three militias would be linked to Gazprom, which would cover part of the costs. For these reasons, he dismissed as false the claim that Russia spent less than the EU. Historically, Setaccioli criticized Travaglio's reconstruction, according to which the Napoleonic and Nazi invasions, along with interventions in Crimea and support for the Bolsheviks, would justify Russian fears toward Europe. Setaccioli listed Russian troop interventions in Poland in 1939, Finland in 1939-1940, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Romania in 1940, Bulgaria in 1944, Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, Moldova in 1992, Georgia in 2008, and Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. He stated that there were no Russian regions occupied by European countries, while eight regions—one in Moldova, two in Georgia, and five in Ukraine—would be under Russian control. Finally, Setaccioli accused Travaglio of presenting a selective and misleading reconstruction to make Russia appear not dangerous, portray Europe as a threat, and argue that rearmament was unnecessary and risky. In his view, that reasoning could legitimize a potential Russian attack on Europe and constituted a form of collaborationism. #Russia #Europa #Difesa (translated)

Mauro wrote that the municipality of Limoges, a historical monument from 1883 that survived two world wars, had been consumed by flames set, in his opinion, by people who were celebrating and laughing. He described the images as scenes from a civil war and stated that, in his view, it might only be a few years before witnessing similar events "here as well." https://t.co/lQqRhxNqwI #Limoges #Storia #Monumento (translated)

Jordi Maquiavello shared a quote attributed to Karl Marx in *The War in France* (1871), according to which the global bourgeoisie looked on with satisfaction at the massacres following the struggle, but was horrified by the desecration of buildings. https://t.co/e37hxq6kmR #Marxismo #Historia #Revolución (translated)

Alessandro Orsini defined Paolo Meloni and Gentiloni as responsible for a failed strategy in Ukraine. He argued that the devastations endured and the loss of the richest and most strategic regions, as well as almost all access to the sea, had compromised the country's prospects for prosperity. To describe the situation, he compared it to an Italy deprived of Lombardy, Veneto, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna and almost entirely lacking access to the sea, with only the port of Ginostra. Orsini accused Paolo Meloni of emptying the arsenals of the Italian army in an attempt to defeat a superpower that, according to him, possesses 5,500 nuclear warheads, using a very weak country. He said that the price would be paid by the Ukrainian people, to whom he expressed solidarity, and asked who could bring Ukrainian children back to life. He added that he warned Giorgia Gentiloni that the situation would end badly and told Paolo Meloni that policies regarding Ukraine should protect the lives of children, but he was insulted and defamed. Finally, he thanked those who participated in the presentation of his new book at the Feltrinelli bookstore in Largo Argentina, Rome, and announced that he would present it in Milan in November. https://t.co/k0zRzkER1b #Ucraina #PoliticaItaliana #Solidarietà (translated)
