learing something new every day. Raccoon dogs are related to foxes, not raccoons, and hibernate. Oh, and climb trees. Fascinating stuff!

Fits the picture of a true Republican under Trump.

They just love to kill the innocent.

Rubio: What's the problem? All Putin wants is the Donbass. It's just 11% of the country.... Prez: I demand full control over Ukraine and expect their unconditional surrender. Rubio: See, it's just the Donbass.

OTD in 1956 a "fascist revolution" of “hooligans financed by imperialist West" began in Hungary. This meant USSR had to send its army on holiday to liberate them from themselves. Imagine such a bullshit excuse today. Orban could anyway.

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

What the maniacal greed and hubris of Trump's White House looks like on the ground in Ukraine.

Nee. Er was geen separatistische beweging. Het was in Donetsk een coup waar de FSB samen met de GRU de lokale overheid hebben afgezet. Ze hadden nooit de oblasten Donetsk en Luhansk kunnen inlijven, zeggen de verantwoordelijken zelf. Dus peil je tijdens een bezetting, of niet?

⚡ "Russians can’t sip margaritas in the EU while Putin bombs Ukraine." EPP MEP Dirk Gotink called on the European Union to implement a complete visa ban on Russian citizens.

But hey, AI is bringing us the biggestest improvements to our lives! Chatbots have become even more annoying, anyone can now easily write essays nobody wil ever read and consist of stolen material and... eh.... but the revolution is here! give us all your money! (and water, and power).

Russia struck Ukraine’s energy infrastructure 76 times during the US-declared truce. In the past week, it launched nearly 2,700 drones, 1,700 guided aerial bombs, and 66 missiles at Ukrainian cities.

read the whole thread. Because of 2,5 hours of Diesel in the US, which exports it by itself in far greater quantities, one of Russia's most prominent propagandists escaped back to Russia.

Putin says to Witkoff Russia is helping Iran. How much more in your face do you need it? Ah yes, they're THAT stupid. Putin will tell them he's murdering their children, but then offers a nice gold watch, and they'll go for it and say he's such a nice guy.

Perhaps Witkoff just doesn't know the definition of ' humanitarian'? Let's see: ' someone who incites hate, promotes rape, murder, torture, use weapons of mass destruction'. Ah, yes, of course, THAT sort of 'humanitarian'.

Trump: "Russia is not helping Iran" Iran:

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Ouch

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

Even the Chinese are already mocking him🤷‍♀️ Fucking clown🤡

This girl died because of Trump and Musk. There's no way around it. Letting murderers do their killing is being complicit. Stopping people from defending themselves, is as much murder as doing the deed itself.

Russia's first diesel tanker departs for US terminals on Oct. 22, carrying 300,000 barrels. This is LESS THAN 2 HOURS of US demand. The US exports 1.5 MILLION barrels daily. During its 2.5-3-week voyage, America will export roughly 100 TIMES its cargo. This is pure lunacy.

'no, no, Russia will not attack NATO. They wouldn't dare'. Sure, so where are their most modern tanks now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzhu...

Just sayin'

So, SK and NK are officially still at war, right? Then NK send troops to fight in UA. Ok. SK couldn't really help, but were happy to bitch about public disclosure of 2 NK soldiers going to SK. And now, NK has freshly experienced soldiers, and is sending troops to the border. what could go wrong?

according to Mississippi police, a baby is a lethal weapon. I'm not kidding. That's the conclusion of their explanation.

Oh look, Saoudi Arabia is in NATO! No? So why are the Brits defending SA against insurgence, and not Ukraine against an invasion? Same querstion, btw, for the rest of Europe. Why are our jets not flying over Kyiv, and Kursk?

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

This is spot on. Zelensky is keeping Trump and family from making big money from Putin.

Interesting how a foreign 'agent', also known as ' press', is the one party holding the US President accountable.

Just as a reminder.

"Trump should give Russia a free hand not just in Russian-speaking territories—but all the way to the English Channel. The goal of a Trumpist foreign policy in Europe is to withdraw American influence from Europe. This will guarantee the defeat of liberalism on the Continent." Curtis Yarvin, 2022

Early voting is underway! A long line was waiting outside the Haggard Library in Plano Monday morning.

Korean datacenter company Elice lost 32% of its value on opening day. I wonder why? Would it be the enormous amount of money that's been put in AI that hasn't resulted in any proper increase in productivity be a reason? Is this a first sign the bubble will burst?

140 days of protests triggered by a corrupt kushner/trump family luxury island deal… yet 🇺🇸 media is essentially crickets 🦗 🦗

Coming back to our friend Bessent and the ' where's Germany' comment. Even if Europeans pay for it, Hegseth doesn't deliver. So how are you NOT siding with Russia?

So the help of the US is making money. That's all there is to it. You'd almost start to argue now it's the US that doesn't want the war to end. ' where's Germany'? You just told everyone that it's the Germans and the rest of Europe buying the weapons for Ukraine.

This is what happens if the US doesn't help Ukraine. The fact that the current administration is just trying to make more money for themselves, the fact that Europe and NATO are too chickenshit to challenge Russian provocations, means this will soon happen in Europe as well.

EU should start negotiating like the Russians do: If they pull back from UA, NATO won't join the war on the UA side. If the RU get rid of Putin, we won't take all the money from their Oligarchs.

Interesting to see all these 'peaceful protesters' are dressed for riots. And yes, I believe there's Russian influence. Check the parties that support this. They're all pro-russian. How many times have we seen this now? Brexit, US elections, Hungary, Slovakia, etc. etc. Are we going to do something?

cats are on the Ukrainian side.

On 15 October, four powerful LNG carriers sailed through the Bering Strait and into the Sea of Okhotsk, all with freshly painted letters on their hulls. The ships[...]had been renamed shortly before their Arctic voyage, data from Equasis, a ship information system, shows.

greatest country on earth they think they are.
