Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski addressed Russia at the UN Security Council meeting:

#Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski at the UN Security Council meeting. He gave the truest picture of what a shithole Russia is since the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Listen to the entire speech in 1.49 minutes and you'll probably agree! #Russia #Russian #Putin #Ukraine #UkraineWar

Trump announced that the FDA will be notifying physicians that use of acetaminophen during pregnancy "can be associated with a very increased risk of autism." However, experts say autism is caused by multiple factors, and the science concerning that connection is not settled. https://cnn.it/4gxLCe6

Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski @radek-sikorski.bsky.social I have only one request to the Russian government:if another missile or aircraft enters our space without permission,deliberately or by mistake,gets shot down&the wreckage falls on NATO territory, pls don't come here to whine about it.

”We know you don’t care for international law and you are incapable of living in peace with your neighbours.” Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski addressed russia at the UN Security Council meeting following multiple violations of NATO countries’ airspace by russian aircraft.

Another indication this was deliberate, and not a “mistake.” Fascist Russia includes unarmed decoy drones in attacks, along with armed ones, to distract air defenses. It’s highly unlikely only unarmed drones would stray into Poland “by mistake.” Plus they had extra fuel tanks.

🇪🇪 Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna warned that Russian provocations are bringing Europe closer to conflict. Speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, he read a statement on behalf of 50 countries and EU condemning last week’s violation of Estonian airspace by three Russian fighter jets.

🇬🇧 If we have to confront aircraft flying in NATO airspace without permission, we will do so, – UK Foreign Secretary 🗣️"I say to Putin: your reckless actions risk a direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia. Ours is a defensive alliance, but have no illusions," she said

Nice words from everyone today. Accompanying significant actions? I mean apart from re-supplying Israel's war machine. 🤔

🇸🇪 The Swedish Defense Minister stated that the country is prepared to shoot down Russian fighter jets violating Swedish airspace: "Sweden has the right to defend its airspace, using force if necessary," - Expressen

⚡️Denmark's Copenhagen airport shut down after drone sightings. "CPH Airport is currently closed for takeoffs and landings, as 2-3 larger drones have been observed flying in the area," police said in a statement posted on X.

⚡️ Oslo’s main airport shut down after multiple drone sightings, local media say. The first reports came in at 11:30 p.m. local time; an hour later another drone was spotted and authorities closed the airspace.

Big Bloomberg report on Russian election meddling in Moldova. Tactics include recruitment of Moldovan voters abroad, staging protest and disinfo campaigns, and (this seems like the worst one) “the use of compromising material to pressure public officials to disrupt the electoral process.”

Two past pieces that highlight why you SHOULD NOT expect that one hemisphere's flu season to predict the other's, often communicated as "Australia had a bad #flu season, so our UK/US/Canadian season will also be bad" No 🌏 virologydownunder.com/which-is-the... 🌏 virologydownunder.com/an-early-loo...

This DOES NOT MEAN THAT!! There is no natural south to north flow. The world is a globe. Both hemispheres influence each other, the tropics influences us all and the virus mutates in the meantime. See... virologydownunder.com/which-is-the...

I think the reporting on this has been less than ideal for simply and clearly communicating the real increase in risk. This article is a bit better, but it could still be a little more...all-in-one-block-of-text using a consistent unit of measure throughout. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We're quite a ways off this day, but we will get there if we don't halt current vaccination trends. That will require communication (authentic, educational, multi-platform, multi-lingual, pitched appropriately), leadership, and also that we refrain from getting angry, belittling, or remonstrating.

NATO could issue a fforat and final warning now. To make their intentions perfectly clear. "We will fire on the next incursion. Borders exist for a reason. If you violate them again with a weapon of war, we will defend those borders." Then do it.

Twenty years after the comedy went silent, Russia is a sadistic, warmongering fascist regime run by a mad centibillionaire. That’s a future that could be ours — whole argument of "Road to Unfreedom" — but also one we can stop — see "On Tyranny" and "On Freedom." www.nytimes.com/2000/06/18/w...

Quick update of Australian #flu numbers -18SEP FluA subtype A(H1N1), derived from our *last* pandemic #influenza virus, dominates. 2025=thick red dashed line/red monthly dots. The last pink dot just marks September as an incomplete month. 2,670 added daily over 2 days (5,339).

The resources that go into killing each other and defending against killing each other are really something. The billion$ & effort to mass produce & fuel high-tech drones & missiles, designed to be blown to pieces. The direct and indirect human harms, the pollution, the waste...we're such idiots.

⚡️It would be a 'big mistake' not to integrate Ukraine into EU defense architecture, Kubilius says.

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.
