Nothing to see here, just a Russian glide bomb that failed to detonate in the middle of a peaceful Ukrainian city.

Imagine explaining to history students in 100 years: “No, he wasn’t addressing America, he just butt-dialed his AG.”

Finland’s President Stubb said security guarantees for Ukraine must include readiness by guarantor states to fight Russia if it attacks again. “Guarantees must be strong to be real. Russia has no say,” he told The Guardian. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

While Russia is trying to kill Ukrainian civilians and destroy their culture every day, Ukraine is destroying the Russian military, the oil industry and Putin's war economy.

The president ordering the murder of 3 more human beings on a boat didn’t even make the list

Actually, when only 97% of the stories about a person who is 100% bad are bad, it means someone is the media isn’t doing their job.

Ukraine successfully shot down 29 of 32 Russian X-101 cruise missiles in today's attack. The majority of those 29 were shot down by Ukrainian Air Force F-16 aircraft!

Obviously not an option for real journalists. However, a stunning number of American institutions have so far failed the resist-this-regime test.

A Russian cluster munition directly struck a multi-story residential building in Dnipro during a massive barrage involving 580 drones and 40 missiles, leaving one dead and 26 injured in the oblast and 3 people killed across Ukraine euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/20/r...

The US ceased to be a reliable NATO ally on January 20, 2025. The last week has simply made that undeniable. The only question now is whether European leaders accept it. The USA will not now defend Europe from Russia. That is reality. Everything else is hopes and dreams.

US government trying to terminate journalism.

Every day at 9 a.m., Ukrainians observe a moment of silence for those killed by Russia.

Headlines on the Bloomberg Terminal from Air Force One: *TRUMP: TV LICENSES SHOULD BE TAKEN AWAY IF BAD PUBLICITY FOR ME *TRUMP: IF TV SHOWS 'HIT TRUMP' SHOULD BE DISCUSSED ON LICENSES *TRUMP ON TV SHOWS CRITICIZING HIM: THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO

To deter Vladimir Putin, Europe may have to take risks, for instance seizing oil-smuggling Russian ships, or making bolder commitments to help Ukraine. Put another way, political courage will be as necessary as fancy missiles

Met de levering van Patriot-luchtverdedigingssystemen en HIMARS-raketartillerie komt een nieuw programma op gang om Oekraïne te voorzien van Amerikaanse wapens - gefinancierd door de Europese NAVO-landen. www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

De strategie van Oekraïne: "Hoe meer raffinaderijen in de hens, hoe groter de kans dat er in olie exporterend Rusland schaarste ontstaat, zich rijen vormen bij de tankstations, zoals nu inderdaad gebeurt, en benzine misschien wel op de bon moet." @hubertsmeets.bsky.social www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

⚡️ Update: ‘Massive explosion’ after Ukraine struck Russian oil plant in Bashkortostan, SBU source confirms. Long-range SBU drones struck a crude oil processing unit at the center of the Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat petrochemical plant, triggering a "massive explosion," an SBU source said.

Beyond belief. Downing Street pandering to Trump by literally shutting down UK free speech. Shame on the government for its spinelessness. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Shame on Downing Street for going along with this. So much for being committed to a free press

No notes

OTD in 1939 Poland, as a complete surprise to us, suddenly ceased to exist so Soviets launched "special military operation" to "protect our compatriots abroad". Definitely not an invasion. Imagine that happening today

👀 Ukrainian intelligence reportedly carried out an operation near Vladivostok, where explosions hit a Russian military unit’s parking lot, leaving dead and wounded. The targeted brigade had fought in Kyiv, Mariupol, Vuhledar, and was implicated in war crimes in 2022.

The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

Such a shameful post by Rafael Grossi. An utterly disgusting + needless thing to do. I know @iaeaorg.bsky.social has a difficult job & tries to keep Russia "in line" but promoting war criminals in this way is unforgivably disrespectful to the tens of thousand who lost loved ones + homes in Ukraine

Washington Post fires its last remaining Black columnist in deference to the cynical Trumpian bid to leverage Kirk’s assassination into silencing critical voices. Shame on Bezos.

Day 1300 of Putin's war. Another 100 days of fighting completed. We are no nearer peace than we were 100 days ago. Almost 200 days ago Trump demanded a 30-day unconditional ceasefire. Not surprising as he started it, it's always Putin stopping peace. Here's Monday's daily🧵

❗️The 🇫🇷French Aerospace Forces have deployed Rafale fighter jets in 🇵🇱Poland, capable of carrying ASMP missiles with nuclear warheads.

⚡️ Ukrainian special forces reportedly blew up rail lines in Oryol and Leningrad regions, derailing fuel trains and crippling Russian supply routes to the front.

🔥 Massive fire in Feodosia, Russia-occupied Crimea. The fire has so far engulfed 6 hectares - 15 acres.

Na de grove Russische schending van het NAVO-luchtruim in Polen wijst niets op enige terughoudendheid in het Kremlin. In tegendeel: Polen, Roemenië en Litouwen stuurden dit weekend gevechtsvliegtuigen de lucht in tegen nieuwe Russische dreiging. In @NRC.nl www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2025/...

⚡️Ukrainian drones strike major Russian oil refinery in Leningrad Oblast, governor says. The Kirishi refinery is one of the largest in Russia and has a processing capacity of over 17 million tons of oil per year. A fire broke out at the site during a drone attack, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.

❗️The footage shows two 🇷🇴Romanian Air Force F-16s chasing a 🇷🇺Russian Shahed drone over Tulcea County, which borders 🇺🇦Odesa Oblast. The fighters escorted the drone until it returned to Odesa Oblast. There were no attempts to destroy it.

The Russians still seem to be very active in and near NATO airspace. Not just near the Polish border, but also in Romania.

🇷🇺🇷🇴A Russian Shahed kamikaze drone has reportedly entered Romanian territory, according to monitoring channels.

🇵🇱🇺🇦“Due to the threat posed by Russian drones operating over Ukraine near the border with Poland, preventive operations of aviation—Polish and allied—have begun in our airspace. Ground-based air defense systems have reached the highest state of readiness.” - Donald Tusk Prime Minister of Poland

De NAVO toonde zich deze week tevreden over het neerhalen van enkele Russische drones boven Polen.

The Charlie Kirk assassination is that little dot on the map of gun deaths in 2025.

Latest article for @ForeignAffairs The US can no longer be considered a friend of democracy, as such the existing democratic states need to think strategically about protecting themselves and even starting a fightback. There is no point in pretending everything will be ok.

Russian forces have lost their ability to advance in Sumy Oblast after months of trying to break Ukrainian defenses, Zelenskyy reports Ukraine reportedly forced Russia to redeploy surviving units elsewhere, abandoning their northeastern push euromaidanpress.com/2025/09/12/r...
