Serbia finally got rid of Vučić, just like Hungary got rid of Orbán a few months ago. It's always encouraging to see, especially as both were supported by both the Kremlin and the White House, and still lost pathetically

Ruine ist doch passender ...

Free weekend update is out. Its mostly a deep dive into the Starlink/Starshield move by Trump and Musk (yes both of them) which did real damage to Ukraine and proved a point. Trump reacts to pressure, not flattery. Standing up to him is the only way. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

Mark Carney on Elon Musk crippling Ukraine’s Starlink: “I search for the right adjective to describe whoever took this decision… against a country that is literally fighting for the lives of its citizens against naked aggression."

Fliegen gehört zu den klimaschädlichsten Fortbewegungsarten. Bahnfahren zu den klimafreundlichsten. Da ist es nur natürlich, dass die Bundesregierung im Zuge ihrer Klimapolitik Inlandsflüge verbilligt und die Bahnfahrpreise erhöht. Funfact: Auch die als Vergünstigung für Passagiere verkaufte

🇺🇸⚡️ Senator Mark Kelly, a war hero and NASA astronaut, responded to Steve Witkoff’s praise of Putin: “Putin is a war criminal, not a humanist. He has killed political opponents and journalists, bombed hospitals, and launched a war that has claimed tens of thousands of innocent lives.

A reminder that when we’re told real estate dudes are “working for free” as US negotiators — aka not official US employees accountable to the USG — they’re working for someone else, and not in US interests In a normal country, Kushner would go to jail. www.vanityfair.com/story/jared-...

"CORPORATE TERMS OF SERVICE" RESPONSIBLE FOR STARLINK ISSUES AKA: MUSK According to The Pentagon and Pete Hegseth, the regimes resident Himmler without the whimsey, the slowdown in services to Ukraine was caused by a breach of the terms of service, which gave Musk the right to slow the service down

Was für ein intellektuelles, politisches und menschliches Armutszeugnis, das sich dieser Witzkopf damit selbst ausstellt. Wenn solche Figuren in wichtige Funktionen kommen, ist die USA, wie wir sie kannten, Geschichte geworden. Die checks & balances der US-Demokratie waren offenbar wirkungslos.

Trump just claimed the United States had done “a lot” for Ukraine, but that Ukraine has done “nothing” for the United States. This is unjust in the highest degree. And not just untrue in the normal sense — it is a big lie, designed to bring about horror and chaos. snyder.substack.com/p/trumps-big...

AM MUST READ: The Plot Against Ukraine (and Europe) >>> "Trump has declared his desire to make the United States an ally in Russia’s ever more brutal effort to annihilate Ukraine" h/t Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

Do you get it now, finally. Trump doesnt give a damn about human life, be it American or Ukrainian. He is fine with Russia slaughtering defenseless civilians. This is your America, MAGA.

Humiliating and dangerous: Trump has now finally just made America an ally of the Kremlin and is aiding Putin in his war against an American friend and partner. Shameful betrayal of a US friend, and pathetic submission to a US enemy. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

Wie kann ein US-Präsident so unterbelichtet sein und das bei vollem Bewusstsein schreiben ? Er glaubt, RuZZland werde Iran in Zukunft nur relativ wenig unterstützen, wenn er die UA erpresst, keine ruZZischenRaffinereien mehr anzugreifen. Basis des Ganzen ? Die "gute Beziehung" des 💩🍊zu Blutin ?

Was mich als Skeptiker von Selenskyjs Innenpolitik oft etwas nervt ist dieses "das war zu emotional", "das hätte man anders formulieren sollen" usw. Ich denke, außenpolitisch macht er unter Umständen eine Figur wie kaum jemand anderer. Trotz des Drucks gab es nur wenige Fehler in diesen 4,5 Jahren.

Free weekend update is out. This was the week when the USA-Russia alliance was made formal, to even the most ardent skeptics. And its reality was signed in Ukrainian blood. Hopefully now Ukraine, and Europe, will understand what they must do. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...

I didn’t know much about about Abdul El-Sayed before watching this but I knew as soon as I’d seen it that he’d worked as a teacher — and sure enough he was an assistant professor in epidemiology. This is how you walk a student through a dumb take.

When asked by Sky News if he feels like a scapegoat for Donald Trump’s domestic challenges ahead of the US midterm elections. President Zelenskyy paused for 15 seconds and smiled before stating: “This is my answer.” www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... x.com/AdamJSchwarz...

Um das Argumentationslevel von DJT besser beurteilen zu können ... der Interviewer ist aber in meinen Augen sein Geld nicht wert: er stellt keine einzige ernsthafte Gegenfrage. So wird das Ganze eher zur Propagandasendung. Eben mit ungefiltertem Präsidenten.

To understand how the Trump administration behaves and makes (and unmakes) policy, you have to understand that it comes from a constant battle between incompetence and evil. Their policies are usually a combination of both in different measures.

FBI chief Kash Patel has begun a 2-day trip to Russia. His office says it's for "judicial cooperation and intelligence dialogue, including meetings with senior FSB leadership" Great timing, oh and just as it's revealed the FBI is failing back home. America first? www.ms.now/news/crime-s...

Had to think a little bit - it is simply the non-metric system: 160 km/h = 100 mph

Etwa 45 ballistische Raketen auf Energieobjekte von Kyjiw und der Region innerhalb der letzten 36 Stunden. Gleichzeitig werden Aufklärungsdaten und Starlink nicht abgeschaltet, aber es mehren sich die Anzeichen auf Begrenzungen. Zwei Garantiemächte des Budapester Memorandums machen einen super Job.

Der hat einen massiven Sprung in der Schüssel. Oder Natalie. Oder seine Neue ... egal, denn es wird unter seinem Namen gepostet (habe dort nachgesehen, denn ich konnte es erst nicht glauben). Daher trägt er die Verantwortung. Weiß aber dabei sicher nicht, was das überhaupt ist.

⚡️Trump says Ukraine, Russia agree to energy strike ceasefire 'because I said they agreed'. The U.S. president's comments came after he unilaterally announced an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on Oct. 11, causing confusion in Kyiv.

Nothing to see here but the President of the USA protecting foreign powers helping the Iranians target and kill US soldiers....

Das geht gar nicht.

1/ It looks like Putin told Trump that Ukraine was causing high gas prices, a lie that is convenient for Trump.

Man könne das Weltmeer dann "Ozean der Amerikas" nennen, so Trump, aber durchaus auch gleich "Trump-Ozean". https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000343632/trump-will-nun-auch-atlantik-oder-pazifik-umbenennen-am-besten-nach-sich-selbst

"Weakness is dangerous, and Trump is dangerously weak. And, as weaklings do, he blames others for his own failures, and thereby makes everything worse." My latest essay: "War Through Weakness: Trump’s Superpower Suicide in Iran and Russia" snyder.substack.com/p/war-throug...

UKRAINIAN ATTACK ON RUSSIAN DATA CENTRE HAS DRAMATIC EFFECT With two Yandex data centres now hit, the resulting decrease of 49% in Russian bots that appear to support the Republican party agenda has been noted by many. Some less brilliant Republicans in all reality are saying Ukraine is now

Q: It's not just President Trump. We also heard from Elon Musk saying Zelenskyy has gone too far. Why are they blaming you for the continuation of this war? President Zelenskyy:Because these people can't find a key how to stop Putin. Because it's more difficult to stop Putin than to pressure others

There's a good chance Trump has no idea what the hell Trump's talking about.

Perfect summary, nothing to add

Free weekend out. The big story is that Donald Trump is now free to be what he always was--strong supporter of Vladimir Putin and an agent pushing for Russian victory. He no longer has to pretend he cares at all about Ukrainian dead or Russian War crimes. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-up...
