@CristianDoroba3 Ronald Reagan is rolling in his grave. Hell, Richard Nixon, too.

russia has run into serious problems with its offensive in Donbas, where its forces have become bogged down. One of the main reasons was that russian logistics had been crippled by Ukrainian drone strikes. This campaign depended heavily on Starlink terminals operating on high-speed Ukrainian drones. russian military command identified this as a critical problem and approached the American side, asking it to restrict the speeds at which Starlink terminals could operate. The argument was simple: there would be little public backlash because the US could still claim that Starlink was operational and that the service was still being provided. The Trump administration agreed to the restrictions, effectively solving a critical battlefield problem for Russia. As a result, russian logistics in Donbas are now safer, and Ukraine has lost an important advantage on the battlefield.

BREAKING: Migrants are now rioting throughout Italy. It looks like a literal war zone.

@badgal_ari @BurgerKing9757 @interstatejuche 1) manager incompetence is real 2) if HR were competent they would push back on this (which you see in known competent recruitment, eg ultra-high-end executive search firms push back on unreasonable expectations all the time)

The deal being proposed to Ukraine right now is that it withdraws from Donbas and sanctions are lifted on russia in exchange for russia promising not to advance any further. Ukraine gets peace. So Ukraine said, OK, but let's establish guarantees that russia won't advance any further immediately without stopping. The Trump administration refused to provide any, and russia said it wouldn't allow foreign troops to be present on the new line, no foreign country agreed to provide any either. In 1994, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for security assurances regarding its territorial integrity from russia, the UK, and the USA. Today, the main argument used to justify russia's violation of those assurances and the USA's refusal to help Ukraine is that the 1994 Budapest Memorandum wasn't legally binding, just like russia's promise today not to attack any further. So underneath the shiny peace proposal is nothing but a gift to russia and the conditions for the war to continue.

Once again the brilliant investigative journalism from @AsraNomani reveals the silent hands orchestrating, financing, inciting the heartbreaking political violence and destruction in France.

@Mossadanimals From the Seine to the Mediterranean!

Doing this, at all, both eliminates the attractiveness of PURL and eliminates the desirability of foreign purchases of US weapons. Even for those who don’t share my pro-Ukraine views, it is awful for the future of the large, high-employment, American weapons industry.

After nearly two years of trying to assist Putin covertly but with the Russians not only proving unable to conquer the rest of Donetsk but actually losing territory there this year, Trump has switched to direct open support for Moscow. The administration is now delaying

The NYT published this in an article about the GOP. Wonder if they had any self reflection that their entire paper shares Tarlson’s proclivities around Israel and Bibi.

There is no actual SSA trust fund. It went into government spending on goods and services Boomers consumed while they were younger.

@lymanstoneky People working last 40 years have been paying way more in FICA taxes than SSA was paying to retirees over same period, so workers retiring now were paying for the older generation and much more, and that excess went into SSA trust fund to prepare for inevitable Boomers retirees

I think this is a rare case where political “marketing” will help. End ICE and make a new agency called something different… w different first letters… e.g. “FBI Passport Control Division” And then have that “new” agency do the job.

The thing that Democrats most want out of immigration policy — an impregnable external barrier that will let them go soft on interior enforcement without inviting new chaos — is not possible and this is more a governance problem than a messaging one. slowboring.com/p/dont-get-com…

@HebrewHammer_3 I wouldn’t laugh at this. The “protestors” had a list of Jewish businesses they targeted Damn good chance they are targeting any home owned by someone w a Jewish sounding name.

The romantic image of the French as an eternally revolutionary people is a myth that has not matched reality for centuries. The 1789 Revolution was a genuine rupture: it overthrew the monarchy and feudal privileges, proclaimed liberty, equality, and fraternity, and emancipated the Jews as individuals in 1791. It then turned to the Terror, Napoleon’s dictatorship, and wars. Over the next 150 years France simply cycled through restorations, empires, and republics, with antisemitism remaining a recurring feature of its politics and culture. That ordinary trajectory reached its nadir in 1940. After military collapse and surrender, the Vichy regime issued the Statut des Juifs in October 1940 on its own initiative, before the Germans demanded mass deportations, and used French police to carry out the roundups. Roughly 76,000 Jews were deported from France, the great majority to Auschwitz; about 73,500 were murdered. Only in 1995 did a French president formally admit the state’s complicity. Since then, French “revolts” have been repeated spectacles of burning cars, looting, and street battles with no coherent program to replace the state and no lasting transfer of power. The idea of a uniquely revolutionary French spirit does not survive contact with this record.

This is misreading what Trump is doing, which is to reverse US foreign policy and align it with Moscow. The sanctions waiver is just the beginning. He’s already framing it as part of him normalizing relations with Russia, which he sells as part of some imaginary peace process that’s been making great progress visible only to him. The next steps will be similarly justified, and Ukraine and the Europeans vilified when no peace materializes. This, as everything with Trump, is simple to understand. It will only get worse when the GOP loses the House (and maybe the entire Congress): free of electoral constraints, Trump will greatly accelerate the policies he prefers. This is only the beginning.

I don't think the US is relaxing sanctions on Russia. Here is why: 1.) The timing of the Graham Act waiver is mostly a coincidence. Trump would have had to impose new sanctions and tariffs latest on 18 October. He had to use the waiver now - and it was clear that he would use it.

Absolutely horrifying footage. Russia has just attacked an ordinary park in Kharkiv, killing two women and an infant in a stroller. Trump is complicit in these atrocities.

@EFischberger Still see you. Still appreciate your voice Hatzlacha!

And now I’m going to tell you f̶r̶o̶m̶ w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ d̶i̶r̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶ o̶n̶ B̶e̶l̶a̶r̶u̶s̶ w̶a̶s̶ b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ p̶r̶e̶p̶a̶r̶e̶d̶ what’s actually going to happen instead of all this hysterical white noise desperately trying to drown out the inevitable: The Orange Man is going to lose the elections with a deafening crash, and spend the rest of his time in office, along with his entire administration, desperately fending off a third impeachment, countless investigations, and criminal prosecutions for all his wild antics. And all this pompous posturing will finally come to an end. As for Putin, he can play Stalin all he wants, fantasize endlessly about carving up the world into three spheres of influence at some imaginary new “Yalta,” and unleash as many hordes of bots on social media as he likes. But when, at the end of the fifth year of your glorious blitzkrieg against Ukraine, you’re still banging your head against Mala Tokmachka, suffering your second defeat at Lyman, while Ukraine is bombing Moscow and St. Petersburg, and when you’re 1.5% of the global economy, all these fantasies can only impress a handful of useful idiots from Elon Musk’s freak show. And the man sitting next to him at this imaginary Yalta is, to put it mildly, no Roosevelt. He’s a semi-coherent, half-con artist from trashy reality TV who has failed spectacularly in Iran and has no idea how to get away with that. As for the Chinese emperor, it’s not even clear why he would want to take part in this lunatic circus in the first place, let alone share power with these people.

Both sides are resorting to Lawfare and it is bad for democracy. There’s no place for it in the U.S.

How to write a @nytimes headline:

We will all soon know what it feels like to be Jewish. In France, they already do. It will be our just deserts for having abandoned the Jews, ignored their warnings, turned against them, and even marched alongside their oppressors. For three years, you useful idiots have been parading Palestinian flags, sporting keffiyehs, screaming “From the River to the Sea”, and recognizing a fictitious Palestinian state as a reward for Hamas’s October 7 massacre (looking at you, @EmmanuelMacron). You have boycotted the only Jewish state in the world, vilified the Jewish people’s right to self-determination (aka “Zionism”), and spread the “Gaza genocide” blood libel. Did you really think that if you fed the crocodile enough Jewish flesh, it would eventually be satiated? All you have done is embolden the monster and whet its appetite. So you were worried about “colonization”? Look around. The only thing being colonized here are our own Western cities. The Palestinian flag has become a victory banner, proudly waved amid the ruins of looted and vandalized historic buildings—a symbol of hatred for our civilization and everything it stands for. It never ends with the Jews.
