It is near certain that all these schemes are conduit funneling hard currency to Putin. Like the Alaska LNG scheme.
When the next US Congress investigates corruption, Trump's oil-deal-of-the-century with Alejandro Betancourt, the face of Venezuelan corruption, should be top of its list. Two kleptocracies working together. Brilliant essay by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

⚡️️️️️️️New report tracks how Russia helps China build better drones. The investigation found that Russian designs for rocket-launched drones likely shaped weapons China unveiled in 2025 and that Russian wind tunnels kept testing aircraft models for China's top arms maker after the invasion of Ukraine.
Brazil is the largest LatAm country in population (215 million) and GDP ($2.7 trillion, about the same as Russia and Italy) and they have majority of the Amazon rainforest which is critical for the entire planet. Mexico is the second biggest GDP in LatAm with $2.2 trillion. Both are left-leaning.
seven conservative governments elected in latam over the past 18 months. lula’s brazil bucking the trend

A Russian soldier fighting in Ukraine typically makes from 210,000 to 220,000+ rubles per month (approximately $2,400 to $3,000 USD), depending on rank, position, and active combat involvement. That's good money in Russia.
The "poor Russian conscripts" are actually, in the overwhelming majority, not conscripts at all, but people who go to war to murder Ukrainians for money. "They have no choice" - what bullshit. Going to jail instead of bombing a playground full of children is a choice. Emigration is a choice.

And the of course the Florida police made the 3-year old leave with his family and banned him from the soccer field.

She will need to get facial surgery and skin whitening to look more like Ivanka, but other than that she has the right credentials.
Yes, Slob Job, Nicki Minaj would make the perfect press secretary. Her husband is a registered sex offender convicted of rape who also served about 7 years for manslaughter. Her brother was convicted of sexually assaulting an 11-year-old child and is serving 25 years to life.

This is such a weird dynamic with Russia-USA that has never happened in the history of the world. A weak and dying country has basically decapitated what was the most powerful country in the world and installed a puppet government and is now actively cannibalizing and using it as a zombified host.

A carefully planned Russian propaganda operation is underway. Having starved people in Oleshky for months, Russia, with the 'intervention' of Melania, will allow people to leave and pretend Ukraine was at fault. Read @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social www.kyivpost.com/analysis/88041

The problem is the US is so dominantly ingrained into the NATO arms supply chains, it is very hard to eliminate this threat.
The recent Starlink / Starshield incident in Ukraine has created a dangerous precedence for the US export industry, many haven't yet grasped. The sudden deactivation respectively curtailing of those systems without warning not only cost precious lives, but also equipment worth millions.

And now that China has the cockpit canopy and weapons bay door of the F-35, the stealth advantage is likely compromised somewhat. of course Trump doesn't care.
Fallout from the Starlink restrictions could hit US weapons exports such as the F-35. There were already concerns that the F-35 has a built-in software kill switch. And the US actions on Starlink just turned that risk from theoretical to something proven and real. Very costly choice by the US.
Yep his inflated ego, power, wealth, and drugs made him a corrupt psychopathic criminal it seems.
If only Elon had stuck to building rockets and sustainable energy. He would have been remembered as a once in a century visionary. Instead, he'll be remembered as Trump's b*tch desperate to get invited to Epstein's parties.

What is Musk's motivation here? What is his strategy in this chess game? Seems irrational. Is it just his ego? Trump threatened to take away his contracts when they feuded in the past. Then Musk kept quiet, but maybe he's trying to get revenge and get Trump replaced by Vance who is more compliant.
It's obvious to everyone by now that Trump did ask Elon Musk to turn Starlink back on. And that Elon Musk told Trump that he turned it back on. And Trump then told the world that Starlink is back on. But... Starlink is in fact not ON, it is OFF. Elon Musk is playing chess against Trump.

Now we have proof that Russia is not European. Russian ontologies have the state as the apex, European ontologies have philosophy as the apex, and Eastern ontological have the Sun, humanity, and Earth as apexes.
Essentially, Wikipedia is a collection of bottom-up ontologies, which each collection is defined by a natural language. Cultures associated with those languages produce different ontologies. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RL9t...

Trump is absolutely the dumbest president of all time. There is zero strategic thinking with him. And he is also Putin's slave.
Sanctions on Russia were pushing Moscow to give huge discounts thus pushing oil prices down. Trump removed those sanctions thus additionally increased the prices energyandcleanair.org/august-2026-...
