If you’re wondering why the oligarchs propping up a regime would put so much effort into dividing citizens into a zero-sum set of factions, their freedom to engage in rank corruption and profiteering just might have something to do with it. newrepublic.com/article/2005...

“As scholars of Russia, we need to undertake a searching moral inventory to see the ways in which we have taken the Russian state’s point of view as a default.” www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

I honestly wonder how many Goebbels speeches Stephen Miller has studied at home to mimic him so convincingly

Putin cannot let Ukraine become rich WSJ: Since 1990, ex-Soviet EU states grew GDP 10x. Russia only 4x. If Ukraine joins the EU and grows, Russians will see that a nation with the same Soviet past thrived without Moscow — and that their own stagnation comes from the Kremlin. 1/

KSE Institute: Russia’s oil revenues grew again in July 2025, reaching $14.3B, up $0.9B from June. Higher global prices and one extra day in July drove the gain. Crude brought $8.94B, oil products $5.39B. 1/

⚡️US move to ease Belavia sanctions raises fears of spare parts reaching Russia, Politico reports. There is growing concern that U.S.-made aircraft components could be diverted to Russian airlines, which face acute shortages of spare parts and maintenance capacity under Western sanctions.

Let us stop for a moment & consider how Trump damages the US: 1. He isolates the US economically & politically. 2. He has already ended the rule of law, 3. as well as the freedom of the media. 4. He has devastated US science & 5. tries to further undermine bad US health. /1

5/5 Trump’s rise is not just political. It’s corporate. It’s economic. It’s backed by the richest, least vulnerable men in America. History won’t call them visionaries. It will call them profiteers of authoritarianism

Having spent last week in Ukraine, 2 impressions stand out: 1. The US is out, providing no assistance whatsoever, but Ukrainians are diplomatically not complaining. 2. Physically, Ukraine can produce all the arms they need, but to do so they need financing from Europe.

Trump is easily the most corrupt, authoritarian, and anti-American president in US history. It’s not even a close call

The end of war in Ukraine will trigger economic collapse in Russia, as military spending has become main driver of its economy, said Ukraine’s Foreign Intelligence This means that strengthening Ukraine will accelerate Russia’s financial exhaustion euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/20/i...

Czech President Petr Pavel and Lithuanian Defence Minister Dovile Šakalienė called for Russian military aircraft violating NATO airspace to be shot down. Pavel called such incursions “grounds for activation of defence mechanisms”, while Šakalienė reminded that Turkey did exactly that in 2015.

“if he can order the Navy to operate as a presidential hit squad on the high seas, any number of grim hypotheticals could become reality sooner than Americans might expect,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

In case you missed it last night, Trump forced out a U.S. Attorney, not for being corrupt, but for *failing* to be corrupt. What transpired with Erik Siebert seems like the sort of thing one might expect to see in an impeachment resolution. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Putin's war machine grinds to a halt as Ukraine begins to advance. youtu.be/S6tgAx164iI?...

When Putin took power in Russia, he made sure all the comedians who made fun of him were removed from television. Trump is perfectly copying Putin's authoritarian playbook to end Free Speech in America.

According to information provided by ExoVera analytical company, Dutch ASML company might host equipment in China that is used to produce Russian chips. I will give the details, context and link to the report below.Friends, if you have any information regarding this, please let me know⤵️

I am shocked and disappointed that three Russian MIG-31 could fly over Estonia for 12 minutes. After my five-day visit to Estonia in May, I presumed that Estonia would shoot them down. Why didn't it? Did Nato restrain Estonia? This requires an explanation.

A reminder that it took Turkey 17 seconds to shoot down a Russian Su-24 in 2015.

❗️🇷🇺Russia and 🇻🇳Vietnam have developed a "shadow" scheme to pay for weapons through oil and gas revenues to circumvent US and other Western sanctions.

1/6 Trump and his allies are rolling out Project 2025 — just like Democrats warned. It’s not a theory. It’s a published plan. Eight months into his second term, it’s already being implemented

Brazil’s veterans are now Ukraine’s secret weapon near Donetsk's Pokrovsk. Their skills in stealth, raids, and clearing operations are helping Ukraine clear flanks and recapture ground — one ambush at a time. euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/19/f...

David Frum on Jimmy Kimmel: "This is not cancel culture because it's not culture. It's state repression. It's an order from the government. Here is the script, you must read, if you do not read it, you will be taken off the air."

1/6 Trump is destroying democracy and freedom of speech in the US, which is rapidly turning into a fascist state. The GOP has become the party of censorship and cancel culture. Jimmy Kimmel being silenced proves it. Republicans who stay silent are enabling all of this

We're witnessing the most aggressive, fanatical crackdown on free speech in my lifetime. The speed and breadth of government censorship and private sector and nonprofit capitulation has been astonishing. As has the lack of urgency/silence from people who've long claimed to care about this stuff.

❗️Every strike on Russian oil refineries is a good opportunity to remind everyone that you can help the 14th USF Regiment to carry out effective strikes on Russian oil infrastructure. 📍Help to stop Rusian oil: www.help99.co/patches/spec... In one week, you helped achieve 35% of the goal.

The US media companies are a completely spineless collection of short-sighted fools. And the US public couldnt be bothered to organize serious protests if their lives literally depended on it.

America is now a fascist state and all Free Speech that MAGA does not like will be silenced. Trump used the regulatory agencies of the federal government to cancel Colbert and Kimmel and now he is calling for the cancellation of Fallon and Meyers.

Trump could stop Russian oil imports to the European Union “with one call” to allies Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

1/5 JD Vance should NEVER lecture Europe again. Months ago, he stood in Munich and smugly declared Europe—not Russia or China—was its own biggest threat. Now his administration is using Charlie Kirk’s assassination to crack down on free speech. Hypocrisy level: nuclear

Poland is now hit with up to 50 Russian sabotage attempts every day. Hacks on hospitals, attempts to poison city water, theft of medical data. Warsaw is now spending €1B to shield its systems after recent breaches forced medical sites offline and nearly compromised a major city’s taps.

According to a new nationwide survey by KIIS, Sept 2–14, 62% of Ukrainians say they are prepared to endure the war for as long as necessary, while 17% are willing to tolerate it only a few months. At the same time, 76% believe in victory if Ukraine receives proper Western support

⚡️Russia brings back barter to bypass sanctions, Reuters reports. Russia has revived barter in its foreign trade for the first time since the 1990s, exchanging goods such as grain and flax seeds for Chinese cars and construction materials in an effort to evade sanctions, Reuters reported Sept. 15.

Hopefully, nobody takes Trump seriously any longer. "Trump Says He Will Impose More Sanctions on Russia if NATO Does." Really?! Says the Putin servant who has just ended aircraft sanctions on Belarus = Russia. Time for Trump to declare his love to Putin! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/u...
