🇸🇰 The US peace plan for Ukraine, proposed by Trump, has received support from the government in Bratislava. This is a grandiose document, — Fico "I will support this agreement," he said, adding that the US wants to return Russia to the club of great powers.

Russian invasion of Ukraine status. With ramifications to Venezuela. Yet again another evidence of the low influence Donald Trump and his negotiations teams have on Putin.

NEW | The RSF captured el Fasher after an 18-month siege, solidifying a de facto partition in Sudan. The Emirati-backed RSF is committing war crimes that are likely crimes against humanity & possibly acts of ethnic cleansing. Details in the Africa File: www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/sud...

Situation in Mali is degrading. The uncapacity of Russian mercenaries to control anything is evidenced. JNIM is getting closer to Bamako and the question will be WHO will be negotiating with them. A danger in the southern border of Europe.

UAE backed RSF terrorist units have taken over the city of El Fasher and its airport in Darfur, Sudan. At least 260,000 people at risk of being harmed, starved, massacred and raped. The terrorists have been executing aid workers, doctors, refugees and other civilians.

No surprise here: Trump's new drug pricing plan is riddled with conflicts of interest. BlinkRx, an online drug delivery company, is set to make millions off the new plan. Their newest board members? Donald Trump Jr. and Treasury Sec. Lutnik's millionaire children.

Prisons are a nightmare of violence and humiliation. Lack of ressources, hygene, health... Nobody cares about it. But when a VIP goes there (already very hard to see that) then the whole society seems surprised to discover prisons are a nightmare.

Trump is percived by the Kremlin as an ally. Or at least as a tool to keep Putin's strategy betting on a long war.

Trump is living from what his predecessors made: geopolitical influence, low unemployment rate, low inflation / good growth, military innovation... But he is destroying all this. Point by point. And the US population will pay it very hard. And their sons, even harder.

According to Kroenig, 3.700 active nuclear warheads (enough to send us to oblivion) is not enough. The US needs expand this nuclear force beyond that. I am not sure I see the interest of this column until I noticed a pic of Obama and undestood the author is an advisor of current US admimistration.

Foreign Policy@foreignpolicy.com

The United States needs to expand its nuclear force to deal with the growing nuclear threat from China, and it should not be constrained by a dated arms control agreement with yesterday’s superpower, columnist Matthew Kroenig argues.

While we cannot predict the future, I think this is likely the most probable outcome. The fact Hamas is executing internal oponents right now shows a clear interest in keeping the keys of the power. Weapons will remain.

Foreign Affairs@foreignaffairs.com

“Hamas is not done fighting,” writes @mattlevitt.bsky.social. As it did in the 1990s, the group will “nod in agreement to the various cease-fire requirements,” while also recruiting new fighters, rearming its members, and refilling its coffers.

It is important to repeat it until leadership decides to act. Putin still thinks he can win via a war of attrition. While he does, war will not end.

NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin remains committed to his theory of victory, which holds that Russia can outlast the West and Ukraine in a war of attrition, and his demand for Ukraine’s full capitulation. (1/ Read the full update: isw.pub/UkrWar100825

I think Democrats would like to embrace "war mindset". I also think they haven't decided which war strategy to adopt and who should lead them in the battle.

"MAGA has declared their intention to use a muscular assertion of presidential power to relitigate the fundamental principles of the republic, from the nature of checks and balances to the fundamental questions of citizenship, and to do so in the public and cultural arena."

MAGA, why was convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a minimum security prison in Texas shortly after meeting with Trump's former personal defense attorney?

Great news for Sudan's justice. But the path will be long for peace.

This genocide would be so easy to demonstrate, yet few people openly ask our governments to act against it. Some societies, like the US, massively vote for persons with open ties to the murderers.

Uo to now, Putin succeeded in manipulating Trump. I don't see any difference that brings me to think it will be different with Tomahawks. Remember these numbers: Trump's policy is to not support Ukraine.

NEW: Russian President Putin continues attempts to deter the US from sending Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine by linking improvements in the US-RU bilateral relationship to concessions from the US on the war in Ukraine. (1/5) Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, Oct. 5, 2025: isw.pub/UkrWar100525

Every Trump speech now produces approximately two dozen 30-second clips peppering the feed that each alone should trigger impeachment or 25th amendment proceedings and are indistinguishable from what your worst uncle would produce if he had any idea how to make ai-generated videos

Life fact. As an exame, Ama f*****g burger now costs 15€ to 20€. And when it is time to pay, you get the bloody American semi-forced tipping culture with pre-selected options or directly added in the note. Sorry, it's a no-go for me. Tips only when it is deserved.

First. I will truly judge when I see it for real. Second. With MGM-140s and Ukrainian long range drones, Tomahawks would not be so disruptive at a first glance. To be seen.

Foreign Policy@foreignpolicy.com

Less than two months after the summit with Putin in Alaska, the White House is considering sending Ukraine long-range Tomahawk missiles, a move that Putin called a “completely new stage of escalation,” FP’s Sam Skove writes.

Civilians from the Tigray (among other areas) are suffering again from ethno-nationalism.

Critical Threats Project@criticalthreats.bsky.social

Amhara ethno-nationalist militias known as Fano have conducted offensives across northern Ethiopia's Amhara region since August. Fano has carried out more attacks from August to September than it has in any other two-month period since the Fano insurgency began in April 2023.

Stabilizing Syria will take time. And Iran's influence will remain as toxic as usual for the entire region.

A Syrian militia sympathetic to the Iranian-led Axis of Resistance claimed an attack on a US base in northeastern Syria on October 2. This attack marks the first time that the militia has claimed to attack US forces. Read more: www.criticalthreats.org/analysis/ira...

Winter is coming in Ukraine front and lines will stabilize. UKR has prepared and developped long range effective capabilities. Long range bombers and fuel sources. Interesting strategy.

Ukraine continues to conduct long-range strikes against Russian oil refineries, exacerbating ongoing gasoline shortages in Russia and occupied Ukraine.

Russia is internarionalising the conflict. Remember this if it ends up badly.

Ideally speaking. If western societies believe there is an inmigration problem, it would be democratically correct to have a healthy debate. Non partisan at the beginning, expert-supported, NGO-assisted, fact based... Just doing so, better understanding and solutions would emerge.

This guy is now irrelevant. However, it this poisoning is a proof you can't escape your past and your acts. He was quiet and silent, I doubt it was Putin himself.

Lithuanian border guards intercepted 11 balloons carrying contraband cigarettes from Belarus. The operation disrupted Vilnius airport for nearly 30 hours. Around 18,000 packs of cigarettes were seized during this unusual “tobacco air drop.”

The US slowly transitions towards a Putin style authoritarian regime. A cult to a single leader where large companies tribute and follow orders. An oligarchic plutocracy.
