13th Khartiia Brigade liberates Kupiansk from Russian occupation.
Ukraine retook 90% of the city in its most significant 2025 territorial gain. The soldiers write of blood, sweat, dirt and fatigue yet incredible strength of spirit.
Verified Russian losses exceed 1,000.

Tiny numbers, to be sure, but NATO is moving forces to Greenland in the face of external threats.
Few dozen European forces arrive in Greenland as Trump threatens to acquire island by force

I haven't read the the link. I am reposting McGann. X doesn't need your support. Even your unwilling support.
X is not valuable territory to be recaptured in a war, it is a propaganda radio station that needs to be shut down, because it is now supporting criminal activity. Tuning in to that station does nothing but boost its audience figures.
If women quit X because of Grok’s deepfake nudes, the predators win – so I’m staying

A russian missile hit Ukraine’s Cabinet of Ministers building in September — widely seen as an attempt to kill the country’s leadership. So why wasn’t President Trump “very angry” about that?

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

We put Putin's 19 December speech next to Hitler's 1939 Reichstag address.
Seven steps. Same sequence. Same wording.
"I wanted peace." "They rejected everything." "I was forced to act."

A U.S. soldier was executed on the streets of the U.S. capital, yet the flags remain at full-staff.
But when a hate-peddling podcaster was killed, the flags were lowered to half-staff within hours—and stayed that way for days.
WTH?
