"There are certainly no lack of examples of their glib dishonesty and putrid amorality. But one that perfectly sums up the Jonestown GOP Caucus is their nonchalance at allowing enhanced Obamacare subsidies, the only way millions of Americans can afford healthcare, to just disappear.

#Poland refuses to reopen its border with Belarus, cutting #China off from a €25B/year trade artery, after it was closed indefinitely following #Russia drone incursion into Polish airspace on 10 September.
Some 90% of China-EU rail freight moves through Poland, now frozen amid Zapad-2025 drills and a Russian drone incursion. Yestrday Beijing asked Warsaw to restore the route (vital for platforms like Temu & Shein) but after 3 hours of talks, FM Sikorski said no.
With sea routes slower and air transport up to 30% more expensive, Europe’s e-commerce supply chains risk serious disruption. As a reminder, the border was originally planned to be briefly closed for the period of the “Zapad-2025” exercises only, but the closure had been extended following Russian drones provocation. China is the primary supplier of military drone parts into Russia.
The last time a Russian jet entered the sovereign airspace of a NATO country this is what happened... this was a 17 second violation (after multiple warnings by Turkish forces to the Russian jet to change course)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shootdown
Turkey didn't put up with the intrusion, shot the jet down, and Russia has never tried since. (one of the two Russian pilots in the jet, and other Russian military personnel died due to events after the shoot-down)
Today Russia violated Estonian airspace with not 1 but 3 aircraft. No word yet whether the jets were warned by Estonian or NATO forces. 12 minutes is a very very long time for another country’s aircraft to be over the territory of an unfriendly country.
Putin is very clearly testing NATO now. NATO needs to shoot these planes down and call Russia's bluff.

I Must Come Clean: I Have #Trump Derangement Syndrome—And Here’s Why https://www.blueamp.co/p/i-must-come-clean-i-have-trump-derangement
"You may get TDS if you have a strong dislike for adjudicated rapists, #Jan6 insurrectionists, #Putin -suckling seditionists, and golden-showering onanists. TDS is inflamed just by encountering un-sweater’d, White Bill Cosby the Convicted Felon, or seeing him make the Oval Office look like it was decorated by Pizarro.
It must be TDS to despise the worst “human” shuffling his cankles in #America. A vile, venal, fragile, flabby, narcissistic, lazy-ass, selfish, sociopathic, soul-holed, gauche, gaudy, perpetually dumbf*ked man, woman, person, camera old coot, who looks like someone piled a burnt-ochre-colored watermelon on top of a jello-gelatin factory spill"

We have "right" in #EU being against war and against defense expenditure increase, and center/left being against peace and removing funds from social/labor programs to spend on defense
We have "right" in the US and EU being against free-trade and center-left for free trade
Both are denying the governments in US and EU are bankrupt, and what they are most afraid is their own people
Can we conclude much of this pro-capitalist paranoia media is serving?
Europe often sees Ukraine only as a victim. That is a dangerous oversimplification.
Ukraine is a major military power in its own right. For the last two centuries, most so-called russian victories depended heavily on Ukraine.
Against Napoleon Bonaparte, the Russian Empire relied on Ukrainian manpower, food supplies, horses, and Cossack cavalry. Against Adolf Hitler, millions of Ukrainians fought in the Red Army, while Ukrainian industry, agriculture, and territory were decisive for Soviet victory.
The same pattern appeared in darker chapters of European history. The partition of Poland, the Warsaw Pact’s military threat, the war against Finland, and even the war in Afghanistan were all enabled by imperial armies that included massive Ukrainian participation.
In the USSR, the most advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles were designed and manufactured in Ukraine and serviced by Ukrainians until 2014. Ukrainians made up roughly 40% of Soviet army officers in the 1980s. The world’s largest cargo aircraft was built in Ukraine. russia wants all of this back — and without Ukraine, its missiles now explode on roughly every second launch.
Ukraine also possesses around 30% of the world’s black soil, the most fertile agricultural land on Earth — an enormous source of strategic leverage. In addition, Ukraine holds major mineral resources, including uranium, ranking among the top ten countries globally by uranium reserves.
History shows a simple rule: russia looks strongest when it controls Ukraine.
If russia absorbs Ukraine today, Europe will not face a tired or weakened aggressor. It will face the strongest and most experienced army on the continent — reinforced by Ukrainian manpower, battlefield experience, and industrial capacity.
“Without Ukraine, russia ceases to be an empire. With Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, russia automatically becomes an empire.” — Zbigniew Brzezinski
Ukraine can become the backbone of Europe’s defense against russia. Or, if left unsupported, it can be forcibly absorbed — and then brought to Europe’s doorstep.
Supporting Ukraine is not charity. It is strategic self-defense.

#Russia: I've seen people wondering what Wildberries & Ozone are.
They're similar to Amazon in that they're both retailer & marketplace. Anyone can buy there, anyone can sell.
Delivery is mostly in-store. They work with a ~100.000 pickup points where people can also test or try the items.
They sell anything from Purina dogfood (WTF #nestle) or military body armour. Like Amazon you can share reviews, showing for example your armour while standing in front of your owl collection.

A shelter near #Kyiv is struggling to keep 700+ cats and dogs alive as Russian strikes cause blackouts and heating shortages. Staff say power cuts are crippling care, with operating rooms too cold and vital medical equipment failing.
Wag the Dog, #Venezuela: #Democrats Must Relentlessly Expose #Trump
Rep Seth Moulton & Sen Ruben Gallego are leading the way responding to Trump’s unconstitutional, int #war crimes
But Venezuela, #ICE, #Epstein, tariffs, Trump’s billionaire-fluffing, are all of a piece. So the broader narrative goes like this

Ukrainian officials and aid groups report hundreds of cases of sexual violence by Russian troops, with the true number likely higher. Survivors describe rape, forced sexual slavery and pregnancies resulting from assaults during the war.

New, by me:
Authorities in the Netherlands have arrested the co-owners of two related Internet hosting companies for operating IT infrastructure used by Russia to carry out cyberattacks, influence operations and disinformation campaigns inside the European Union. The two men were the focus of a 2025 KrebsOnSecurity story about how their hosting companies had assumed control over the technical infrastructure of Stark Industries Solutions, an Internet service provider sanctioned last year by the EU as a frequent staging ground for cyber mischief from Russia’s intelligence agencies.

No, Navalny wasn't killed by a frog. The sensationalist and misdirecting framing of this tragedy in the legacy media is disgusting.
#Putin murdered #Navalny using one of the many synthetic poisons produced by the FSB-controlled so-called "Institute of Chemistry."
