JUST POSTED: A Russian energy giant has secretly moved to acquire a position in a massive Alaska gas project. Its part of talks between Witkoff/Kushner & Putin. But CEO of US company resigns after learning of Russian money in the project. A wowzer of a story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/u...

Starting Monday, no BYD car gets through the gates at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan. Not personal cars, not taxis, not delivery vans. The concern: cameras and sensors in modern EVs could collect data on the base. defence-blog.com/u-s-air-base...

The Norwegian Green Party demands a stop to further Starlink integration in the Norwegian Armed Forces. www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/krev...

Elon's now claiming it was "Starlink," when it was actually Starshield that he restricted (per WSJ). An unelected civilian is making national security decisions based on personal beliefs, and the WH is only staying quiet because of his millions in donations. That should concern everyone.

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.

Elon Musk, Donald Trump's largest financial backer, threatens US elected officials against launching investigations into Starlink/Ukraine sabotage, federal contracts, DOGE actions, and other potentially criminal issues. "Live by the sword, die by the sword," the billionaire said.

Since 2024, the EU has signed Security and Defence Partnerships with 12 states. What do they really deliver? Our new @swp-berlin.org study (in German) edited by @chriswirth.bsky.social and me looks at eight of them, plus Turkey and Ukraine:

Someone wise told me the Ukrainian army is the best investment ever, so I'm investing in an FPV today and every Friday until the last invader goes home. Remember kids, every time the #FpvFriday bell rings, an occupier will soon get its wings! 👼

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.

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-...

Michael Ziegler, Mayor of Denmark’s Høje-Taastrup, chose to spend his autumn vacation driving 2,000 km to help Ukraine as a volunteer with Biler til Ukraine, delivering vehicles to Ukrainian defenders. Thank you, Michael, and everyone supporting Ukraine! 🇺🇦

JD Vance has no shame, we know that, but he stooped to a new low when he claimed he's not seen any corruption out of this White House. In doing so, he's gaslighting Americans into thinking they're not seeing it either. Trust your eyes, the corruption is as clear as day. (link in comments)

‘One senior Ukrainian official and two Ukrainian military officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive matters, say Hegseth is holding up supplies of Patriot missiles, which Ukraine relies on to intercept ballistic missiles.’ kyivindependent.com/its-signific...

Endlich habe ich es geschafft, mir den Fertilitätspodcast von JFV und EconTalker anzuhören. Es zählt zu den intellektuell interessantesten Dingen, die ich in letzter Zeit gehört habe. Bis zur letzten Sekunde zu Religiosität und Nichtmarktkorrekturmechanismen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

Zelensky says Ukraine’s war effort will cost €155 billion next year and asked European partners for at least €70 billion more for defense, weapons and resilience. Ukraine could double or triple production of some drone types, he said, but currently lacks the funding needed to scale up. #Ukraine

Bewaffnete, maskierte Männer sind von #Belarus aus nach #Lettland eingedrungen, wurden vom lettischen Genzschutz zurückgedrängt und kehrten danach zurück, um Grenztechnik sowie Kameras zu beschädigen. Die prorussische Gruppe „Schwarzrussen“ bekannte sich nun dazu. www.t-online.de/nachrichten/...

My trust issues with the banks are slightly lower, but I really like sunflowers and good investments. Thus, I commit that I will keep donating until the last occupier is gone!

Bo Hines never worked in government or crypto. But Trump put him in charge of the White House crypto council and he helped write the first real crypto law in U.S. history. He got so rich from it he bought a bigger house and his dad bought a private jet. Full story at the link in the comments below:

General Keith Kellogg: “I would burn down every one of the goddamn refineries that Russia has today. Take them all out. It’s a military target.” It is the fastest way to end this war, because it is the fastest way to deprive Russia from the means to wage it.

Going back to the platform owned by the man who shuts down Starlink for Ukraine? No thanks.

Can’t Allow Elon Musk the Power to Intervene in Wars No individual should be able to disrupt military ops like Musk did with Ukraine’s. I wrote that when he did it in 2023. Was told the problem was contract rules. Nope. Happened again. The problem is too much power, esp for an enemy of democracy.

I need to share something personal with you that I don’t talk about much: I often struggle with a feeling of helplessness. I look around and see so much that is plainly wrong. But over the long run, the truth has a way of winning. And telling the truth is more powerful than we think. (link below)

Großes Lob, dass BSW und NSAfD gleich bekennen worum es ihnen als echte Patrioten geht: Russland. Ich schlage vor, dass sie jetzt eine Fraktionsgemeinschaft gründen unter dem Namen „Einiges Russland“ #Ukraine #Politik #AfD

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!

1/ Russian attacks on Ukrainian data centres have started a "data centre war" for which Russia is ill-prepared, argues a Russian warblogger. He forecasts a disastrous collapse of Russia's digital economy if Ukraine's retaliatory attacks on Russian data centres continue. ⬇️

Why is the Russian GRU targeting Donaustahl? - Part 4: Just a hint: Maybe its not only about what @donaustahlgmbh.bsky.social is doing with Ukraine. But also about what Donaustahl is doing with the Bundeswehr. Since about a year it is one of the best-kept secrets of the German Army. #RATTE

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we introduce an Italian journalist and political commentator, Marco Travaglio. He’s best known for being the most prominent pro-Russian voice in Italy and for spreading Russian disinformation almost every day on Italian TV.

In today’s Vatnik Soup, I’ll introduce a Russian journalist, Leonid Ragozin (@leonidragozin.bsky.social). He’s best-known for posing as a Russian dissident, while at the same time sneakily promoting the Kremlin’s narratives about the Russo-Ukrainian War. 1/20
