Sorry for disturbing the party, but I have a hot take for you: Criticizing and pointing out Lula's and the Serbian Students' List's Russia and other foreign policies doesn't make you a Vučić or Bolsonaro supporter.

1/ Saturday's Ukrainian attack on Omsk in Siberia, at a distance of over 2,500 km, is causing fresh angst among Russian warbloggers over the poor performance of Russia's air defences. "[We're being hit] further and deeper," one complains. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/kyiv...

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.

Aktuell wird der Strom in Kyjiw im Schnitt 6,5-7 Stunden pro Tag/Haushalt abgeschaltet. Die Einschätzung ist schwierig, weil der ununterbrochene Beschuss mit Jet-Drohnen neben den „üblichen“ ballistischen Angriffen stets für größere Lokalausfälle sorgt. Das ist aber grob der Durchschnittszustand.

Poland’s Foreign Ministry Sikorski not only reminds Elon Musk that the USA haven’t been paying a cent to Ukraine in almost two years and in fact even benefited from the arms sales, but also schooled him that he is only damaging his brands when meddling in foreign countries.

This is how the Democrats should look after the election. We want accountability. The fact I'm writing this from EU is both sad and a warning. I don't want to know so much about US politics and you only get this one chance. Go vote, win, destroy MAGA.

Oligarchische Geschäftslogik à la Trump und geheimdienstliche Logik à la Putin haben manches gemein: sie ignorieren und bekämpfen die politische Souveränität der Gesellschaft, ersetzen Gouvernanz durch Autoritarismus und inszenieren ihren Geltungsanspruch als majestätische Heilsbotschaft.👇🏽

Sowas ist doch wirklich nicht neu und auch nicht spezifisch für die jetzt betroffenen Parteien. Man muß ein Parteiprogramm immer mit diesem Wissen im Hinterkopf lesen.

Obiaushv@obiaushv.de

Natürlich darf Politik Ziele formulieren, rechtliche Fragen prüfen und sich für Veränderungen einsetzen. Aber man sollte den Menschen nicht den Eindruck vermitteln, politische Forderungen seien bereits umsetzbare Maßnahmen. Selbst im Wahlkampf sollte man nicht einfach Versprechen geben, wenn schon

Die Masse an widersprüchlichen Berichten zum Thema Starshield geht langsam an die Nerven. Kann mir gut vorstellen, dass Musk Trump die Idee gab, aber letztlich entscheidet das der Präsident und die konkrete Umsetzung hängt vom Pentagon ab (sehr wichtig, da Trump sich für Details kaum interessiert).

In today’s Vatnik Soup, our 400th (!), we introduce the Vatnik Archetype: the recurring character who claims to oppose war while defending invasions, claims to fight imperialism while serving Moscow, and claims to seek truth while repeating the vilest propaganda.

Crazy stuff.

Ukrainian forces pulled off a daring rear-line operation near Kupiansk. ​Using underground gas pipelines to advance over 15 km behind russian lines, "Operation Veles" combined subterranean troop movements with synchronized drone and ground strikes.

The United States will not get one drop of Russian diesel fuel in October 2026. It would have needed to leave a Russian port by now to arrive by 31 October. No buyers in the US have signed a contract for Russian diesel.

Russia is intensifying its attacks on Ukraine’s export routes. Its aggression in the Black Sea make it harder to put food on people’s plates across the world. A Black Sea freedom of navigation arrangement would protect lives and vital supplies. Ukraine has proposed it. Russia has rejected it.

Pootin knows how to play tRump like a fiddle. A timeline:

Sven-Erik Volberg@volberg.bsky.social

On October 9, according to the WSJ, Putin proposed in a phone call with Trump a November summit with him and Xi Jinping to end the war in Ukraine on terms favorable to Moscow. The same day, a US-russia diesel agreement was reached.

It would be a shame if a Ukrainian USV paid a visit. /s

Das einzig Überraschende an der äußerst durchschaubaren Geschichte mit dem Graham-Sanktionsgesetz ist, dass es, egal ob vor oder nach dem Diesel-Deal, doch vereinzelte Menschen gab, die ernsthaft davon ausgingen, Trump würde dieses jemals umsetzen.

Very nice of him, but this won't lead anywhere. Not just because the Russians are Russians and want to make others suffer. Also because the Pope is the Pope: the head of the church of the West which the orthodox don't exactly like.

Pope Leo XIV urged Putin to agree to a ceasefire around Oleshky in Kherson region to allow food and medical deliveries and let civilians evacuate, Vatican News reports.

Sadly, he doesn't have that opinion for his own people...

Europe has stood by Ukraine since Russia started its war. And that is one of the reasons Russia has failed to achieve its goals. To end the war, we must pressure Russia, not Ukraine. Europe has the strength and influence to make a difference. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting↓

AfD macht AfD-Dinge und das Bündnis Schlechter Westen, kurz BSW, unterstützt es. Keine Überraschung. Putin dürfte sich die Hände reiben. Was soll man zu einem solchen Beschluss sonst noch sagen oder schreiben? Das BSW kooperiert mit Rechtsextremisten (AfD Landesverband Sachsen-Anhalt).

Dieses ganze Gejammer „Kein Geld mehr für die Ukraine, wir brauchen das Geld für uns“ führt am Ende zu mehr Krieg, mehr Toten, mehr Flüchtlingen, mehr Zerstörung, mehr wirtschaftlichen Schäden und noch viel höheren Kosten.

Das Experiment, wie es aussehen würde, wenn Twitter-Trolle das mächtigste Land der Welt regieren würden, ist schon eine geile Reality-Show. Nur wird dieses Land dabei selbst erwartungsgemäß in den Abgrund gefahren. Und wir hier in der Ukraine haben ernsthaftere Konsequenzen als hohe Spritpreise.

Malignant Observer reposted

A message, a little reminder, not only, but especially, relevant to Republicans who remember the Cold War: Putin is a KGB agent, and he has never changed. The same goes for Russia. Imperialist Russia attacks the free world: Ukraine directly, and the rest of us through propaganda and subversion.
