Lavrov:

The only thing that is probably fair to say is that all smiles and hugs of Europeans toward Russian representatives before the Ukrainian crisis were just an act. They pretended to be benevolent, but in reality, they always wanted harm and misfortune for Russia.

Ukraine and the Epstein files are two subjects on which Trump the populist goes out of his way to act against the will of the people who voted for him.

What is he trying to hide?

Only 16% of Trump voters support Ukraine making territorial concessions to Russia and 72% are in favor of selling Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, according to a new poll by The Vandenberg Coalition.

72% of Trump voters also believe the US should help Ukraine and hold Russia accountable.

When you draw a platoon leader like Hegseth, it’s your worst nightmare. You just ride it out until he’s gone and gets replaced by someone who isn’t a complete jackass. Only a fool like Trump would put one of them in charge of the entire defense department.

Might be time to activate the Grift Klaxon.

The US Space Force has awarded several sub-$9 million contracts to undisclosed companies to build early prototypes of space-based missile interceptors for Trump’s Golden Dome defence program, Bloomberg reports.

All names kept secret.

If you’re worried about Reform taking over the UK, take some comfort from the Daily Telegraph. In its latest swivel-eyed rant, it analysed polls and said the outcome is actually likely to be a “left wing coalition of chaos”.

So 🍻

Unfortunately the Telegraph won’t let me post a link.

Not only are there serious conflicts of interest, but it’s also a major national security issue that someone like Jared Kushner, who has no official role, is allowed to negotiate such matters

China continues to move away from the dollar. It’s just cut its holdings of US government bonds to the lowest level in 17 years.

China's US Treasury holdings fell to $689.3 billion in October 2025, down from $700.5 billion in September.

1/6 If Trump and his administration truly want to end Russia’s war in Ukraine as soon as possible, I have a solution for them.

It starts with understanding one simple fact: the war will not end without real pressure on Russia👇

This BBC article gets right to the heart of my rants about modern media. The vast majority of big MAGA accounts were fake yet they’ve managed to find a handful of small Democrat fake accounts and given them equal merit. Fake Scot indie - yes. No mention of fake Reform or ‘English Patriot’ at all.

Meiselas: If Trump was just some crappy, scummy billionaire who lived in Florida, do you think I'd give a crap? My issue is this freaking loser, this con artist, this grifter, this scammer has brought his life of scamming, bankrupting and destroying to the American people, who are now suffering.

It is not a coincidence that that most powerful man in the world and the richest man in the world each own their own social media platform so they can control what everyone hears, thinks, and feels.

Vance is extremely sad that his boys pathetically failed to force Russia’s maximalist demands on Ukraine.

Real traitorous, pro-Russian behavior by the VP of the United States.

Why would the US President and VP push Russian interests?

Good study from KCL: “Terms like 'bots' or 'trolls' no longer capture the full variety of online manipulation. Today, we observe a spectrum of actors ranging from fully automated accounts to 'cyborgs'…co-ordinated troll farms, and loyalist users who…become part of orchestrated campaigns.”
This is useful recent research on how the “bot” category breaks down into people and actual bots - “inauthentic participation” is the unifier www.kcl.ac.uk/orchestrated...

I watched the movie Nuremberg recently.

The topic of responsibility for war crimes and aggression has been on our minds a lot, so the movie came right on time.

The Nuremberg trials were groundbreaking at the time: an international team judging citizens of another country⤵️
