This is the context for properly understanding Putin's call to Trump last Thursday. Putin needs to ensure that Trump's understanding of the operational environment is at worst confused & at best Putin's.

Did anyone bother to notify the US before yesterday (FRI 17 OCT 2025)? If so, who was notified?

I do not regret to inform you that we will win.

It may require blood, sweat and tears, but we will win.

The de facto President of the United States has released a video in which he is King of America and uses his royal powers to fly a fighter plane which magically poops all over protesters opposed to his rule.

This makes the Trump Gaza video look sane by comparison.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

The little town of Mystic, CT has a population under 5K.

I figured a few dozen would show up.

But it was a few hundred:

The No Kings March in Chicago is one of the largest gatherings I’ve seen here. Looking down from by the river, the crowd stretches for blocks down Michigan Ave and wraps around Wacker Dr. This video is from a few minutes ago and the end of the protest is nowhere in sight.
