⚡️ Trump lifts extra 25% tariff on India after pledge to curb Russian oil imports. India's Ministry of Commerce has not publicly confirmed the White House's claim that New Delhi agreed to halt imports of Russian oil.

By now it has become very clear that Jeffrey Epstein was a broker. A broker of anything that could not easily be obtained otherwise, legally or morally. Now the big question is: broker of what else? What else besides children, besides subversion of democracies and murky finance?

Starlink can certainly block geographic areas - they just refuse to point the satellite's antennas there (also the terminal knows its location from GPS) That kind of blocking would affect AFU as well. Blocking based on speed, direction of travel and altitude could work tho

Just sent out this free piece. The response to the execution of Alex Pretti reveals how we have gotten into this mess. The anger is not directed at Trump, who caused this whole situation. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

You've found the start of THE daily🧵 for Day 1435 The world refuses to acknowledge the obvious: Russia is not only a rogue, terrorist state which cannot be trusted. It's also one which will do anything, incl genocide until it's stopped Please support, repost, shout at elected members to stop 🇷🇺 now

DHS has sent over 3,000 ICE agents to Minnesota – resulting in the killing of Renee Good, continuous attacks on peaceful protestors, and the detention of children. Today, I stand with a coalition of AGs filing a brief to support Minnesota's lawsuit against Trump's campaign of lawlessness and fear.

No he doesn't. NATO is like a jigsaw puzzle in which the US had a central role. It always held military command, they have the software and intelligence for managing military engagements and they produce weapons that nobody else produces. They service many of our planes and provide missiles.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents border patrol officers at the National Border Patrol Council, calls on Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller to resign or be fired

Pope Leo’s top U.S. ally — Cardinal Joseph Tobin — calls on Congress to defund ICE.

Menny Shalom writes: "The defense industrial base [..] is a layered system, and its speed is determined by its weakest links. [..] In war, logistics is often described as combat power. In production [..] right now, the soldiers at the bottom of the supply chain are starving."

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days. His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.

What are persistent synthetic social actors, and what do they mean for democracy? Until recently, online manipulation relied mostly on humans. Even coordinated bot networks still needed people to write, schedule, and supervise activity. That imposed natural limits.

I recommend Serwer's article in 'The Atlantic':

Ukraine is developing its own microwave system against drones: militarnyi.com/en/news/ukra...

Microwave defence against multiple drones at once. Battery powered for up to 30 minutes. Generator powered for continuous use. Cheap per 'shot', no ammo needed, but it requires clear weather and line of sight. militarnyi.com/en/news/leon...

Russia is known for its exceptionally large gold reserves, this year however, they started to make many payments in gold and liquidated already 570.000 kgs of gold, which is exactly one quarter of all the gold they had. This doesn't mean that they can hold out another 3 years though.

🔥 A burning column of Russian motorcycles and ATVs, - Ptashka Drones.

How do we know it's Russia who is behind the drone incursions into NATO countries? 1. Because the models downed are Russian models, like the Orlan type. 2. Because it fits in with Russian 'hybrid warfare'. 3. Because the drones appear where certain Russian ships go. 1/

Jeremy Cliffe writes: Europe "needs a warp-speed effort to reduce its dependence on the US." And: "time has come for a coercive European approach towards America." agendapublica.es/noticia/2047...

Europe imagines it can win at Washington’s “neo-royalist” game. Trump sees Europe as an extension of his domestic retribution campaign. Both are wrong, and both underestimate Europe’s ability to fight back (if it finds the will). My thoughts for @agendapublica.es: agendapublica.es/noticia/2047...

Ukraine blew up a Russian kilo-class submarine while it was docked in port on the Black Sea. Very promising for a first test of the 'sub-sea-baby'. Pic: artist's impression of a 'Fury' undersea drone:

X/Twitter is awash with attacks at the EU. This happenend after X/Twitter was fined for deception and lack of transparency. Musk plays a big part in attacking Ursula von der Leyen, as being 'unelected', which isn't true: she was elected with 401 votes in favour of the 360 needed. 1/2

Putin: peace must become impossible: Earlier Putin said he only wanted to sign a peace agreement with a newly elected Ukrainian government. Zelensky is willing. Now Putin demands it must be a pro-Russian government. Will Putin's bombing of civilians enhance the pro-Russian sentiment? ISW:

Estimated russian losses from February 24, 2022 to November 20, 2025 of the russian all-out war against Ukraine, according to the General Staff of #Ukraine 🔷 Yesterday 890 enemy, killed or wounded

🚨Russian losses as of Nov 20th, Day 1366 of Russia’s War of Aggression Against the People of Ukraine. Russia can’t even find 1000 men/day to throw into the meat grinder they’ve created. Every day the creeping failure of this war continues is just more embarrassment and shame for a dying nation.

Rubio needs to learn that forcing Russia’s ideas on others without asking others for their own is not an exchange of ideas. This plan includes zero concessions from Russia and countless from Ukraine. It is neither serious, realistic, nor fair

Russia will try to play European nations apart. Russia hopes one leader will talk to him from a national perspective, instead of from a common EU+Ukrainian perspective. This is also Russia's strategy in hybrid attacks against EU countries: the hope that it provokes a one-sided overreaction.

Saratov Oil Refinery under attack! The effect of "long-range sanctions" is growing #shorts #Ukraine

1/ Mobilised Russian soldiers serving on temporary contracts are being threatened en masse with execution if they do not sign contracts, making them permanent soldiers and ineligible for post-war demobilisation. Russian warbloggers are forcefully condemning this practice. ⬇️

On October 6, Ukrainian Special Forces destroyed a Russian S-400 launcher near Yevpatoria and hit an ammo depot of the 18th Army near Simferopol. The operation in occupied Crimea was carried out by Resistance units together with Deep Strike SOF teams.

A night, a Ukrainian drone strike hit the Tyingovatovo oil pumping station in Chuvashia, located nearly 1000 km from Ukraine. The facility is part of the Kuibyshev-Tikhoretsk oil pipeline.

Russian massive attack on #Ukraine last night: two killed and 14 injured in Chernivtsi; six injured in Lviv. ▪️Two people were killed on the spot by falling debris in Chernivtsi - a 26-year-old woman and a 43-year-old man Residential buildings, administrative offices, shops, cars were also damaged.

What are some of Russia's weak points? 1. Russia's size is a typical structural weakness. They have such a large territory that to defend it all, you need insane amounts of air defence. Ukraine can hit whatever they like.

Russia increased the use of chemical weapons and increased research for new chemical weapons. Dutch and German intelligence services have documented 9000 chemical attacks to date, while the real number is a multiple of this. english.defensie.nl/latest/news/...

Trump made a sanctions exception for Russian nuclear projects world wide, it was already largely in place before Trump. Two questions: 1. What amount of money is involved? 2. What is the difference between the earlier (but slightly different version of 10 January 2025)? 1/
