like Pantsir. Ukraine is on the cusp of air superiority - and extraordinary achievement in wartime given the state of the air force in 2022.

Today the drone incident in Copenhagen, yesterday the sabotage of a German railway route, Saturday's disruptions at multiple European airports... traffic infrastructure seems to be the current target of choice.

Sweden’s Defence Minister said the country is prepared to shoot down Russian fighter jets that violate its airspace, stating that Sweden has the right to defend its airspace, using force if necessary.

All flights at Denmark's Copenhagen Airport—the largest in the country—were halted Sept. 22 after police reported drone sightings in the area. "CPH Airport is currently closed for takeoffs and landings, as 2-3 larger drones have been observed flying in the area" kyivindependent.com/denmarks-cop...

What is the Russian -- and I use this word loosely; opposition doing? Secured visas for rich Russians and disappeared like a fart in the Sahara desert.

America’s current stance is the US should hurt Brazil’s economy and prop up Argentina’s economy. The entire reason is that the US president and his fans like the leader of Argentina—or a successful version of him they made up—and dislike that Brazil upheld its laws against a coup plotter they like.

🇺🇸🧑‍⚖️ The US is considering sanctions against the International Criminal Court, - Reuters. Such measures could seriously hamper the court's daily operations and would be a retaliation for investigations into alleged Israeli war crimes.

🇵🇱 "We know that you disregard international law and cannot live in peace with your neighbors. Your extreme nationalism is a thirst for domination that will not end until you accept that the era of empires is over and yours will not return," — Sikorski told the Russian representative at UN meeting.

Moscow is literally "encircled" by Ukrainian drones. Russia has closed the airspace over its capital. Airports have implemented the "Kover" (Carpet) plan.

It was obvious when EU citizens had the terms of their settlement here retrospectively revoked that a precedent was being set and that, in time, the argument would move on to other categories of migrant, always tending towards a purity test of who is ‘indigenous’. Unless resisted.

💥🗣️In Budapest, thousands protested Viktor Orbán’s state-funded propaganda, hate campaigns and vilification of rivals. One tragic case: a police chief in an opposition-run city died by suicide after being targeted in a vile smear campaign by a pro-government outlet. 📸: @telexhu.bsky.social

🇵🇱🇸🇪 Poland and Sweden hold joint exercises in the Baltic Sea, - Polish Defense Minister

Im surprised that people are surprised as to why there’s a huge political gender divide that we see today. I got an answer: women gained power, men felt threatened that their place on top of the hierarchy and the intrinsic power that came with it is gone The reason there is more racism is the same

Many purposefully ignore this. “Ru is afraid of NATO and/or protecting Ru in Ukr” crowd can’t explain why Ru is forcefully settling Ru in the occupied Ukr territories to maintain control. The “Ru is anti-imperialist because it’s anti-US” crowd will ignore the blatant colonial settlement project.

What actions? Seriously, what actions?

Assholery is the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse. It manifests when war, conquest, famine and death are delivered by the worst shitheels and grifters a nation could ever manage to elect or appoint to power.

This. This is the way.

On this day in 1939, German and Soviet forces marched together in a victory parade in Brest-Litovsk. Moscow called it a “liberation campaign.” For Poland, it meant occupation, executions and mass deportations.

Austrian oil, gas and chemicals group OMV has fired an executive over allegations of spying for Russia and a Russian diplomat has been summoned to the Foreign Ministry in Vienna as a result of the affair, news magazine Profil reported. www.reuters.com/business/ene...

All quiet on the......some-directional front

The situation is evolving very fast, so I have made this table to help us all keep track.

Relieved to report no hostilities at the Cambodian-Armenian border at this time.

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

The frontline communities are enduring daily bombardments that hardly make it to the news anymore. But the war doesn't pause for weekends. Today, russians shelled Kostiantynivka with MLRS, drones and artillery, killing two and injuring three. russia is a terrorist state.

Farage wants the UK to quit the ECHR. It is exactly what Putin wants, for the UK to join Russia and Belarus as the only European countries outside the ECHR. It would be a huge victory for Putin in his war against human rights and the international rule of law. Farage is a traitor.

Well I couldn’t keep fascism from instantiating itself in America, but I sure unclogged the hell out of my kids’ bathtub

"German jets scrambled after Russian military plane flies over #Baltic Sea" - #Germany #Russia #NATO www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Russia is not a superpower. How come is it able to inflict so much harm? It puts almost all of its resources in war, terrorism, destruction, sabotage, threats, and interference. Russia invests very little in the welfare of its citizens, culture*, and innovation. *unless it can be weaponized 👇🏻

Institutional change, such as the change of a political or economic system, happens when social forces demand change. Those forces are so strong now that you can almost feel the air vibrating. Some of those forces are destructive. Anti-democratic. 👇🏻

I'm pro-EU. I don't hate it that the public sentiment on the European project has changed. In the 2010s, the EU was seen as this overarching supranational entity that infringed upon the sovereignty of member states, whereas now, people are pleading the EU to do more on a number of things. 👇🏻

I know this region and therefore feel confident in saying that the tanks will stay there until the end of the century.

I am proud to announce I have negotiated a lasting peace treaty between the Arctic ants and the aunts of Antarctica. No further ant-aunt antics are anticipated.

Or the Sieg Heils

russia is collapsing Literally School buildings in russia just randomly collapse because of no maintenance No one bombed it

The 19th Sept Estonian airspace breach : unlike some reports, the MiG-31s flew relatively straight east-west, did not "circle" or approach directly Tallinn. They were timely intercepted by Finnish, Italian and Swedish fighters. ROE to escort out in this case. euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/20/e...

Helps to understand what's going on if you examine the fuel shortage map side by side with a population density map

A Russian woman shared that she was forcibly moved from Berdsk,Novosibirsk region,to Russian-occupied Berdiansk&given about $95 to live there Russians are abducting Ukrainian children from the occupied territories,taking them deep into Russia,while also resettling Ukrainians’ cities with Russians

Tätä showta onkin odoteltu

Finland's democracy survived three wars against two great powers run by murderous dictators. Finlandization came close to killing it.

The Coalition of the Willing is still trying to secure "the American backstop". I don't think it's smart to commit too many resources in it. I'm worried that waiting for something that's unlikely to happen will become an excuse for not moving forward. His other remarks are on point here.

I confess I become increasingly irritated with Brits who inform me in what kind of deep trouble my country is in, and how blind we are supposedly to this, at a time when right wing nationalism is surging in Britain and NATO is hanging by a thread. My Friends. We are in the same boat.

And right on schedule, Russia denies their warplanes breached Estonia airspace. Waiting for Russia to acccuse Estonia in breaching the airspace of Russian warplanes .

This is step one. 'America Only' is the goal. NATO needs to avoid the stupor that the United States is a defensive partner, and in fact is moving stridently into becoming an arms broker only. A broker who will not hesitate to apply influence and export restrictions as a tool of political duress.

Well I'll be damned 😑

Here we go.
