Dismay as ancient heritage sites across Iran damaged in US-Israel bombing

Middle East crisis live: Iran steps up attacks on ports, tankers and oil terminals in campaign to disrupt energy markets

In addition to oil, the war has bottled up the world’s main supply of sulphuric acid, setting back a lot of heavy industrial supply chains. theoregongroup.com/commodities/...

⚡️Russia earns additional 6 billion euros in fossil fuel revenue as oil prices soar amid US-Iran war, analysis finds.

Dažkārt man ir ļoti naivas domas un cerības. Piemēram, šodien domāju par iespaidīgiem flašmobiem, ko Ukrainu atbalstošie sportisti varētu sarikot spēļu noslēgumā. Nu parādīt, ka šitā nevar!

Kategoriski noraidu sacījienu, ka Trampa darbības ir ļoti OK, jo lika Eiropai sapurināties un beidzot gādāt par savu drošību. Tas būtu tāpat kā teikt:"Re, cik labi, ka tavs kauslis kaimiņš tev izsita durvis un tev sadeva pa muti, jo tu beidzot biji spiesta saņemties dārgām bleķa durvīm un atslēgām."

The advancing front and constant Russian strikes on energy infrastructure are making life in frontline towns and villages in Zaporizhzhia region almost impossible. Despite the danger, many locals refuse to leave their homes or evacuate. 📹: DW

🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️It’s unbearable to even share such horrifying news. Look at their faces, world. Russia murdered them. Russia is a terrorist state!

Vispirms sagrābs medijus, pēc tam – demokrātiju. www.lsm.lv/raksts/arpus...

Kas sanāk: 1) paši vien pieradina politiķus pie tā, ka ar medijiem/to uzraugiem var "dīlot", 2) ir ok ignorēt GODĪGI organizētu konkursu rezultātus, 3) un ka šādi drīkst cūkoties ar iesaistīto mediju un NVO vērtētāju konkursā ieguldīto laiku un enerģiju, nemaz nerunājot par kandidātiem.

Viss, kas šobrīd LV politikā notiek,- bija prognozējami, nekas nepārsteidz. Bet, lūk, ŠIS gan nošokēja: sabiedriskā medija uzraugs atzīst, ka pirms iecelšanas uzstādījis ultimātu politiķiem/noslēgts "dīls", kas tālāk 2reiz bijis iegants neņemt vērā konkursa rezultātus. www.delfi.lv/193/politics...

Atriebība par protestu. ZZS grib sodīt tos, kuri aizstāvēja sieviešu tiesības - kancelēt pilsonisko sabiedrību kopā ar medijiem. Tas ir tiešs uzbrukums Latvijas demokrātijai. IDENTISKI Gruzijai, Ungārijai, Krievijai, Trampam.

Mūsu acu priekšā tiek demonizēts jau otrais sabiedrības virzītais SEPLP locekļa kandidāts. Te Jāņa Sikšņa viedoklis par notiekošo:

Dainis Īvāns nav tikai “bijušais”, viņš ir arī šodienas morālais līderis! FANTASTISKI!🚀

Starp citu, visa fonā šobrīd iet arī mediju ietekmēšana, virzot pa Jēkaba ielu priekšlikumu samazināt SEPLP no trim uz diviem, nogriežot nepolitiski virzīto sabiedrības pārstāvi. Kuru, starp citu, pēc atklāta konkursa pat neapstiprināja. Saeimā kāds labi atvēzējies demokrātijas piežmiegšanai.

Saeimas deputāti rosina vieglu roku atteikties no sabiedrības virzītā kandidāta SEPLP. Tā teikt, sabiedrība mums pie kājas! Saeimā šobrīd ir cilvēki, kas uzsākuši ceļu uz demokrātijas graušanu. www.delfi.lv/193/politics...

Esam liecinieki vēsturiskajam brīdim, kad nacionālā robežšķirtne politikā sabrūk un autoritāri reakcionārie (latviešu un krievu), kam simpatizē Krievija un Ungārija, kā arī nākotne Krievijas ietekmes zonā, savienojas pret eiropeiskajiem, kas ir par brīvu, demokrātisku Latviju. Dievs, pasargi.

Attālināšanās no Eiropas, demokrātijas, tiesiskuma nenotiek ar ar lielu lēcienu no viena grāvja citā, tas notiek sākotnēji ļoti lēni, lai nesatrauktu visādus demokrātus par "sīkumiem". Tikai tā distance no demokrātijas grāvja līdz bedrei, kurā jau mūs gaida Putins un Lukašs ir ļoti maza.

Kuldīgā mirušās Luīzes mamma uzticēja IR traģisko stāstu, lai brīdinātu citus vecākus. Luīzei bija 21 un, visticamāk, viņa nelegālās tabletes pamēģināja pirmoreiz mūžā. Kā skaidro ārsti, sintētiskās narkotikas ir tik jaudīgas, ka to pārdozēšanai pietiek ar niecīgu daudzumu.

❗️Russian satellites have been trying to jam British military satellites with ground-based systems on a weekly basis - Maj Gen Paul Tedman,head of the UK Space Command "We're seeing our satellites being jammed by the Russians on a reasonably persistent basis," Tedman said

Viena no cienījamākajām pasaules protestantu baznīcām arhibīskapes amatā ievēl sievieti. Cerams, piedzīvosim arī laikus, kad Latvijā šādus amatus ieņems sievietes.

Russia was trying to do its own version of spiderweb, but in NATO countries

Šodien "konservatīvie" norāva Saeimas sēdi, lai netērētu laiku "klimata glābšanai". Vakar 2000 gadus vēcas katoļu baznīcas pāvests Leons nosodīja tos, kuri "noniecina aizvien skaidrākās klimata izmaiņu pazīmes". Kurš ir īstais tradicionālo vērtību aizstāvis? catholicweekly.com.au/world-must-c...

Great news from Moldova! www.bbc.com/news/article...

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

Zināmā mērā nomierina ziņa, ka arī kaimiņu politikā neiet viegli. Lietuvas kultūras ministra amatā iecelts makaronu un saldētās pārtikas ražotājs. www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

Having spent the last few days in Warsaw, I'm more conscious of the echoes of 1939-45 - not just Hitler's aggression & Stalin's treachery, but the fecklessness of the Western allies. Ukraine has had far more help than Poland, but if Putin ultimately wins, W fecklessness will have helped again.

Three Russian fighter jets violated Estonia’s airspace on Friday for an unusually long period, some 12 minutes, in what Estonia’s foreign minister called an “unprecedentedly brazen” intrusion over the NATO country.

Baltkrievijā vēl joprojām notiek valsts līmeņa skaistumkonkursi. Šajā reizē dalībniecēm lika reklamēt apģērbu līniju ar Lukašenko citātiem, kuri kārtējo reizi parāda, ka šajā valstī sievieti uzskata par priekšmetu. Tās galvenais uzdevums - izdaiļot pasauli ar savu klātbūtni un pienest tēju vadonim.

Meanwhile in Russia: top propagandist Vladimir Solovyov is so certain that Trump is in Putin's pocket that he blatantly invited America to fight on Russia's side against Ukraine and the rest of Europe. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cV69...

Tas sazvērestības teoriju apmērs, ko abas puses izplata Č.Kērka sakarā, ir neticams. Papildus diagnoze ASV sabiedrībai un vienlaikus brīdinājums citām valstīm, kur noved šādu apmēru polarizācija.

NATO should state that all incursions in front-line states will be intercepted. It should deploy more aircraft on Baltic and Polish air-policing missions. And it should strengthen Ukraine’s ability to strike drone-production facilities deep inside Russia

This isn't "just" Shaheds on Poland It's jamming v/d Leyen and German general's planes It's bombing the EU HQ in Kyiv It's bombing Ukr civilians every day and night with 800+ drones and missiles AND THIS IS JUST LAST WEEK.

The main lesson from last night for Poland (indeed all NATO in CEE) should be that their defense starts in Ukraine. Imagine the results if Russians could launch a massive UAV attack on Poland from just over the border in Ukraine?

Russia will push NATO further and further. Next time there will be more drones and maybe they will hit a field somewhere. Then they will hit an old factory building. Then it will become normalized etc. This is what decades of appeasement has led to.

It’s essential NATO responds strongly, with increased aid to democratic Ukraine and more sanctions on fascist Russia. If it doesn’t, Putin will see this as a sign of weakness and will test the alliance further - increasing the risk of a more dangerous escalation of the conflict with the West.

Breaking News: There are Russian drones that have been shot down in Poland's airspace. Polish, Italian, Dutch, NATO tankers and fighter jets are now in the skies above Poland. I’m sure Donald Trump is going to give Putin another two weeks to explain his latest incursion into allied territory.

Up to 20 drones. That's not one random drone. Must be a planned action to test NATO. My bet is that NATO will not hit Russia back. Then Russia will escalate even more. Textbook case of what appeasement leads to.

Putin's Russia: "According to Novaya Gazeta there have been 56 deaths of successful businesspeople and officials under strange circumstances since February 2022. Many of them have fallen out of windows." www.foreignaffairs.com/russia/russi...

Why are people calling russia (maybe accidentally) hitting the Cabinet of Ministers in Kyiv “an escalation”? Ru has been trying to assassinate Zelensky since 2022. They hit civilian targets all the time. I don’t think they’ve been holding back from attacking an empty govt building.

Ursula von der Leyen&Donald Tusk have arrived at the Polish-Belarus border to discuss security issues. Ursula von der Leyen: We have to keep this sense of urgency because we know that Putin will not change. He is a predator. In the last 25 years,he started 4wars,Chechnya,Georgia,Crimea, …#Ukraine.

Kharkiv tonight. People chanting “Putin Khuylo”, which essentially means Putin go f yourself

Europe failed to confront russian violence: after Crimea, after occupation of Donetsk, after MH17. The Kremlin read hesitation as weakness. As permission. On 🇺🇦’s 34th Independence Day, my message to Europe: stop fearing your own strength, start exercising it. Be inspired by 🇺🇦 and be brave like 🇺🇦

The Pentagon is blocking Ukraine from using long-range missiles to hit Russian military targets. No wonder Putin still thinks he can win the war www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Rustaveli Avenue is blocked for the 269th day in a row in Georgia. We have more Ukrainian flags than usual as it's the Day of the National Flag of Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Tomorrow, for the Independence Day of Ukraine, we march in support of our dear ally.
