India not sending 10 000 strong force to Taiwan to "train and cooperate" seems like a missed opportunity

"Taiwan is China", says Kremlin's candidate in the French election. France, however, is not Taiwan, so it will be forced to fellate 🍆Chairman Xi for the unique chips currently being produced only on Taiwan - and / or to shut down its most high-tech production lines requiring those chips.

“Artur Sushkov, a 36-year-old third secretary at the 🇷🇺 Russian Embassy in Budapest, was forced to leave the country along with his spouse on May 4, 2026. Sushkov was identified by 🇭🇺 Hungarian authorities as an undercover officer of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR).”

These vehicles come not from the government, but a mill owner in Changhua, central Taiwan. Mr. Pai Tsan-jung has donated 206 retired fire trucks, ambulances, and other emergency vehicles to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion.

Ireland flirts with Kremlin interests as it follows the path of Bulgaria and Slovakia. Pro-Russian imperialist sentiment pervades Sinn Féin, Ireland’s top-polling party, and some other left-wing groups. This dangerous left wing undercurrent mirrors far right support for Russia's aggression. 1/3

The blockade is a success. It's crimping Iran's oil revenues materially while barely pushing up oil prices. There's an big lesson here. Had we done this to Russia, it wouldn't still be causing mayhem in Ukraine. Lots of lessons to learn for the future... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/pros-and-c...

We need to drastically change how we handle treason in Europe. Right now, politicians and influencers freely push Russian interests with zero consequences. Promoting the agenda of a foreign enemy should be a crime that ends careers and leads straight to prison

It is insane and traitorous for Netanyahu to refuse to side with Ukraine. Russia fully backs Iran, Israel's greatest enemy. The old excuse of needing Moscow's approval in Syria is completely off the table now. There is no justification left

CforCD💙💛 ❗️A video is circulating in which King Carl XVI of Sweden allegedly refused to shake hands with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. ✅ In reality, this is manipulation. The video was deliberately cut off a second before the handshake took place.

High turnout in the Bulgarian election so far (compared to Bulgarian standards)

Also established by the UN is that Hezbollah has to leave southern Lebanon and the Libanese army is responsible to enforce that, as far as I remember.

All of you think Bulgarian elections don't matter (they usually don't lol) but wait until the Kremlin-aligned candidate wins with around 30%, and the only way he can form a cabinet is to make a coalition with the small far-right party. Congrats, the EU is fucked again, even with Orban gone.

In his concession speech, Orbán mentioned how the same number of votes that got him a landslide victory in 2014 wasn't enough for more than defeat now. He didn't care to reflect too much on what that said about the nature of his past victories. But Juraj's chart illustrates it nicely.

They also played a part in Rohingya genocide. Knowingly kept Myanmar gov accounts up who coordinated the mass violence via FB/Messenger while being aware about it

The recent elections in Hungary present good lessons for Americans fighting autocracy here at home, and Democrats in the midterms. Halie Soifer breaks down key lessons to draw from the recent Hungarian election:

Odesa , Ukraine , April 2026

🇸🇰🤡🇷🇺Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico: ​"If the Russians are on their knees, it is only because they are tying their shoelaces.”

If there is one crucial lesson to learn from Hungary, it is this: You cannot defeat an authoritarian populist with a fragmented opposition. If you want to win, you must swallow your pride and unite behind a single candidate

Only PP-DB is a true pro-European coalition. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Cont...

Btw anyone in doubt. Germans did the Stasi ones by hand. 45 million of them bsky.app/profile/kcor...

Vote Boyko Borissov for European Bulgaria!

I think it's a good time to look at this picture again and then continue with our day, feeling a bit better.

Who said that bunkers are of no use any more?

I, like Kraut, expected an election day autocoup, but Jan 6 wasn't election day. I, for one, support the Magyarization of Hungary.

Fidesz is starting to show signs that they arent going to give up power

Sounds like a lively interview on Hungarian state television, in which the incoming prime minister confronted employees for spreading bizarre and malicious propaganda. Including the bizarre notion that the entire country of Germany is sex starved 🤦‍♂️ Thread below:

New Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar appeared as a guest on state television M1 for the first time and made shocking statements: -We will suspend this channel's news service. This isn't about me; I'm not seeking revenge. Our people deserve journalism that reflects the truth.

While not a new information still nice to see confirmed. Hungaries new PM states that Orban bussed immigrants to Slovak border to help Fico in elections with manufactored migrant 'caravans'. Very common russian/Belarusian/MAGA technique

Xi's next meeting after Sanchez was Lavrov Xi told him China & Russia should "work together to revitalise the authority & vitality of the UN" The idea of Moscow revitalising the UN may not be an idea that sits well with many in Europe.
