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.

We should start outing the people who go to Trump rallies. If anyone recognizes people cheering behind Donald Trump, make it a point to make that person's name known.

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.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

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.

Musk is lying about Ukraine using civilian Starlink on combat drones. Since February, any Starlink terminal operating in motion has needed military Starshield authorization. No Starshield – no connection. Using civilian Starlink on drones was technically impossible. Period.

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.

Report from @csis.org: the Alabuga drone factory is 4-country joint effort: 🔹Iran provided the design and manufacturing expertise 🔹North Korea supplies mass labour 🔹China supplies batteries, engines, electronics, etc 🔹Russia built the factory and fires the drones at Ukraine

Is anyone surprised?

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.

Trump and Musk too stupid to understand nature. An oyster creates a pearl by solving an irritation caused by a grain of sand entering its soft insides. Europe will solve Trump and Musk's irritation by creating something better to protect themselves from Trump and Musk.

The problem is the US is so dominantly ingrained into the NATO arms supply chains, it is very hard to eliminate this threat.

(((Tendar)))@tendar.bsky.social

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.

Maria Drutska@mariadrutska.bsky.social

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.

There is a reason that Trump and Netanyahu are both going to escalate the war in Iran soon. They both have important elections coming up that could end their careers. They need a big crisis to have a reason to suspend elections so they will do whatever they can to create one.

If Elon Musk is truly altering election results, then his power is immeasurable. We know that his wealth is immeasurable, the world's first Trillionaire. And Elon Musk's companies have wormed themselves into positions of power, especially within the military.

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.

Jeffry Bazooka@jeffrybazooka.bsky.social

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...

The House can impeach both the President and Vice President simultaneously. The Senate must try each separately. I suggest that coming Democratic Congress impeach Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Miller, Mullin, & Kennedy simultaneously. Talk of impeaching corrupt SCOTUS justices should be circulated.

Zelensky explains why Russia failed to capture Kyiv in 2022. And no, it wasn’t because some Russian general took the wrong road, as Trump keeps saying.

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-...

Trump set up a whistleblower hotline to catch fraud, and America immediately understood the assignment: flooding it with reports on Trump, his family, and his entire cabinet. Huge shoutout to everyone doing their patriotic duty by reporting the actual criminals! 💅🔥

No offense to good people from Texas but I always thought of Texas as a Christofascist version of Saudi Arabia, but then people like James Talarico, Gina Hinojosa, Jasmine Crockett, as well as The Chicks, and Willie Nelson remind me its not all like that.

This is it. The only thing stopping this is fear: I’ll lose my job/I need the health insurance/My kid is sick, etc. But what people don’t grasp is, they’ll be far, far worse off if the fascists cement their power. It’s all a matter of unity. If we act as one and commit, we win back our freedom.
