Thank you to everyone who attended our second Conversation Club last week with @leilaseiitbek.bsky.social! Some takeaways from the event in case you missed it:

#Freedom4Eurasia & #SCAP welcome UK’s sanctions agnst A7 crypto infrastructure. By targeting evasion networks UK is sending a clear message: enablers of Russia’s aggression will face consequences.

“Holding the line is exhausting. The victories are small and the setbacks are devastating….Hope is understanding that the line we hold today creates and protects the space where tomorrow’s resistance will grow. And sometimes, against all odds, that resistance succeeds.” @leilaseiitbek.bsky.social

In an era of rising authoritarianism and billionaire autocrats, human rights defenders cannot afford to retreat. "We will hold the line. Not because it’s easy, but because it’s necessary. Not because victory is guaranteed, but because surrender is unthinkable." Story by @leilaseiitbek.bsky.social.

As the European Union embarks on a new partnership agreement with #Uzbekistan, @leilaseiitbek.bsky.social reminds us that economic interests should never override core values. thediplomat.com/2025/10/repe...

Das #BAMF erkennt die reale Lage in #Tadschikistan nicht an und bringt Schutzsuchende durch negative Asylentscheidungen in Lebensgefahr. #NRW-Behörden kooperieren eng bei #Abschiebungen. Wie es real zugeht, erklärt ein Interview mit @leilaseiitbek.bsky.social. 2/2 lens.civicus.org/interview/au...

Those loans should be given only to countries that respect human rights. Dictatorships, kleptocracies, autocrats should not have access to these loans. These loans must not be unconditional. Economic interests must not be prioritized over human rights.

Dear allies, the investigation of the Lithuanian prosecutor’s office has confirmed our suspicions that responsible for setting fires to shopping centres in Vilnius and Warsaw are the Russian secret services. Good to know before negotiations. Such is the nature of this state.

NEW - Rep. Mark Alford tells fired KC federal workers ‘God has a plan’ at hostile town hall Folks, I've been covering politics for a dozen years in Kansas and Missouri and this is probably the most intense, angry town hall I have ever seen www.kansascity.com/news/politic...

The USA has joined G19 (Russia, Belarus, Hungary, Israel, North Korea, the Central African Republic, Burkina Faso, USA, Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Mali, Sudan, Niger, Nicaragua, Palau and the Marshall Islands). It is in this wonderful company that America will become great again.

The Unazied States voted against the resolution on Ukraine, along with North Korea, the Russian Federation, Belarus and... Israel. The resolution was adopted by a majority vote anyway. But the aftertaste remained.

Look who Trump & his Republicans decided to be friends with. Dude dressed like aGenie is Grand Mufti - highest religious Sunni Islam figure in Russia came to Putin to anoint him Emperor of Russia, Tsar of Bulgaria & Kazakhstan. Trump also called himself King. Now world has 2 mad kinds to deal with.

Divide #Europe and the #US Divide and Conquer #divideetimpera This was the ideology of terro- #russia for decades. #kremlin

By the way, Russia's RusAID is still running while Trump slaughtered USAID. en.rus-aid.ru

In 1945 the U.S. de-nazified Germany. In 2025 the U.S. is trying to re-nazify Germany...

I noticed that on Twitter there are so many accounts here, that sound American, but speak exactly like Russian Vatniks. The narratives, the beliefs, the stories. He enemies for them are also same as for Vatniks: NGOs, LGBT, USAID, CIA. How'd they all get so brainwashed? By Kremlin? When?

Here's the reality, Ukraine and Europe, as well as the entire democratic free world, are at war with Trump and Elon Musk. I never thought I'd see the day when the U.S. would embrace a murderous dictator, Putin, and betray its allies, but here we are. 2025 U.S. has become 1934 Germany.

What should Europe do after the US has gone astray? 1. Arm as fast as possible! Move swiftly to 3% of GDP in defense expenditures! 2. Seize Russian sovereign assets in Europe & transfer them to Ukraine! Buy enough arms so that Ukraine can defeat Russia!

This is what he did. He made our best friends and cousins no longer trust us. Those of you who support him did this! You are at fault! You! You are destroying our place in the world and there is nobody else to blame! vancouversun.com/news/opinion...

High casualties on the battlefield seems to be a price that North Korea’s president is willing to pay for combat experience.

The rare earth idiot just said he trusts Putin... 😅

If you are in DC, NYC, Chicago, Boston, please come. A very relevant topic nowadays

Under the post of Russian far-right political philosopher and the leading theorist of Russian neo-imperialism, A.Dugin MAGA comments are cheering the Russo-American alliance. You were supposed to destroy them, not join them.

It only took 53 days. Handpicked incompetents and doge is how he will do it. www-theatlantic-com.translate.goog/ideas/archiv...

Who appointed Trump a leader of the free world?

Not surprised...

Good.

Laughing Kremlin Insiders Say Trump Has Given Putin Greenlight to Expand the War /1 www.thedailybeast.com/laughing-kre...

So apparently, the US citizen Vogel was exchanged for a Russian whose name is not yet known, and it happened without the involvement of third countries through a direct flight by the US Special Envoy Witkoff. Transparency isn't something to expect from the current US admin.

In former Soviet block we still have KGB curator at every school, university, even kindergartens, hospitals, state agencies (obviously).

Trump Pauses Enforcement of Law Banning Foreign Bribery The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act makes it illegal for companies that operate in the United States to pay foreign government officials to secure or keep business deals. youtu.be/zCgkH-s4NwQ?...

Economic, political, and environmental trends are accelerating Central Asia’s shift to EVs, and Chinese firms are at the forefront.

Classic #russian propaganda. As soon as the dates for party or presidential elections approach in any country, russian propaganda immediately appears—to promote pro-russian party or pro-russian president tvpworld.com/84951250/rus... #Germany #elonmusk

Musk called for closure of Internews, Radio Liberty & Voice of America: "They are just radical leftists who talk to themselves while burning $1 billion a year of American taxpayers' money" Yes! They are interfering with RU propaganda Musk's openly acting according to Kremlin's manual.

1. An attack against the allies Canada and Denmark 2. An attack on USAID - the most important tool of US influence in the world 3. Illegal access to personal data of Americans 4. An attack on the FBI 5. An attack on the CIA 1/3

Yesterday, CIA Director John Ratcliffe spoke to employees from "the Bubble" and said they too should have access to Trump's "fork in the road" buyout offer, like other government employees. But intel officers see a risky strategy designed to gut the CIA. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

This is not a joke: "The White House says Elon Musk will determine if there are conflicts of interest between his work reviewing federal spending and his companies." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Can anyone convey to the stable genius that forced deportation of a people is a crime under international law? Forcing people, by expulsion or other coercive acts, to leave a place where they are living lawfully for reasons not allowed by intl law could be a crime against humanity or war crime

Kleptocratic corrupt oligarchs are actively destroying the world. There were warnings. But they were left without adequate response. youtu.be/ytBIYdTvg_Q?...

“'They seem to want Treasury to be the chokepoint on payments, and that’s unprecedented,' the person added, emphasizing that it is not the bureau’s role to decide which payments to make — it is 'just to make the f-ing payments.'"

Hey, maybe Matt Taibbi will get another unsolicited trove of documents that definitely do not, in any way, ultimately serve the interests of the world's richest man!

Donald TRUMP has threatened to impose a 100% duty on Russian goods supplied by RU to US: - cars, computers, consumer electronics, clothing, perfumes, wines, mobile phones, printers, servers, network routers, robots, tractors, agricultural machinery, microchips and computer components.
