This might be the dumbest fucking sentence I’ve ever seen

Threatens Denmark with Greenland annexation. Threatens Australian journalist. Threatens own media. DOJ threatens the opposition. On the other hand, lifts sanctions from Belarus and rolls out the red carpet for Putin. I don’t think this is the end, and the damage done will be very difficult to undo.

Russian propagandist admitted that the Drama Theater in Mariupol was not "blown up from the inside by Azov militants,"as the official (&false)version of the Russian defense ministry claims,but was bombed. Russian propagandists are beginning to stop denying the obvious and admitting their war crimes

One week of intense conversations in Kyiv convinced me that Ukraine has no need for Trump any longer. Ukraine can produce all the arms it needs, but it needs financing, which Europe can and must deliver. Trump has swiftly ended the time of US superpower.

Estonian PM Kristen Michal: Russia is an acute threat to every sane country and Europe is only at the beginning­ of rebuilding its defences. Key points from the interview with The Times: ▪️ "Russia is an acute threat to Europe, to Nato, to every sane country in the world.

Speaking in the Ukrainian Parliament, Roberta Metsola announced that a permanent European Parliament representation will open in #Kyiv. Roberta Metsola also said that the EU will soon approve the 19th sanctions package on Russia.

OTD in 1939 Poland, as a complete surprise to us, suddenly ceased to exist so Soviets launched "special military operation" to "protect our compatriots abroad". Definitely not an invasion. Imagine that happening today

No, Putin will not stop the war because the eggs have become too expensive or because the average Russian can't find gasoline. Putin will not even stop the war if there are children starving and dying in Russia. Putin will never stop. He has to be removed by force.

Greetings from Kyiv, where it is raining beautifully and I am having a warcoffee. A woman holds her baby in her arms. A girl tells something to her little sister. They are laughing. Life.

Russian Z-propagandist Maksim Kalashnikov publicly admits that Putin’s so-called "liberation" army has brought nothing but destruction to the residents of Donbas and other occupied territories of Ukraine. "We came to 'liberate' Russian regions, but we’ve turned them into ruins.

👀 “Someone didn’t arrive and didn’t fly.” Zelensky announced a successful operation on Russian territory. We are waiting for details!

HIMARS strike on a concentration of Russian infantry with motorcycles.

1/ The Russian Black Sea Fleet is reportedly in a "systemic crisis" due to manpower problems, a recruitment campaign that is mainly attracting "chronic alcoholics and drug addicts", and ongoing systemic corruption involving stealing repair funds for unseaworthy ships. ⬇️

🚨 BREAKING: With around 25% of oil refining capacity destroyed by Ukraine, Russia will have to reduce crude oil production by closing oil wells because there is no place to store excess oil. Imagine that - Ukraine has forced Russia to reduce blood oil production funding the war.

King Charles during President Trump's visit to the UK: In two world wars we fought together to defeat the forces of tyranny. Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of #Ukraine to deter aggression and secure peace.

I would like to see the 'liberal center' as it were be a bit more aware that there is a distinction between 'doing debate' and defending the concept of debating. Liberalism isn't a call to intellectual neutrality, but an active commitment to specific principles of liberty, pluralism and rights.

Troll's response to this is illustrative. Before Donald gave us a free hand, we used to invent 8 theories as well as claim it was a false flag when we bombed a hospital or a school. Now we just say a university is a legit target.

Trump’s visit to the UK began with a scandal. Unknown individuals projected onto the walls of Windsor Castle his image alongside convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and a mugshot photo. Today, Trump will be received by King Charles III, and tomorrow he will meet with Prime Minister Starmer.

Key points from the Ukrainian President’s interview with Sky News:

Ukrainian reconnaissance unit “Tur” of the 225th Assault Regiment claims to have found detonators at a Russian ammo depot, marked with Nazi swastikas. They date back to Soviet-Nazi cooperation of 1939–40, when the USSR imported German military tech.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The EU has begun preparing a mechanism for transferring €170 billion from frozen Russian assets to Ukraine, - FT Most of the frozen Russian assets held in the Belgian depository Euroclear will be used to purchase interest-free EU bonds. The proceeds will be transferred to Ukraine in tranches.

OTD in 1938 Soviet economist Nikolai Kondratiev was executed in Stalin's purge. The Dear Leader didn't like his economics as they clashed with communist dogma. Imagine that happening today. cc Donald.

A HIMARS GMLRS rocket struck a concentration of Russian assault troops on motorcycles in Donetsk region.

40% of the refining capacity for Russia's second largest oil refinery was knocked offline this week. Russia is having to reduce their oil output because of the drone attacks.

The EU will also set up a “drone alliance” with Kyiv, backed by €6bn in financing to “transform Ukrainian ingenuity into battlefield advantage and into joint industrialisation”, von der Leyen said.

Ukraine’s parliament has ratified the 100-year Partnership Agreement with the UK. Britain will provide $3B from frozen Russian assets, 150 artillery systems, new mobile air defense, expanded training, support for long-range weapons production, and become a key partner in energy and critical minerals

HIMARS strike on the Russian BUK-M2 air defence system. Video by the "Black Forest" Brigade.

this is an onion headline right

Let's drop the naivité and accept that this war will end on the battlefield after Ukraine achieves the necessary military strength, not in a conference room after a round of talks and a carafe of wine.

Kyiv railway station vibe. I was here again today. With airports closed for three and a half years, this station carries on its shoulders all welcomes and farewells.

Ukraine has rescued another 16 children from Russian occupation. Among them: a 15-year-old girl whose parents and brother were sentenced to long prison terms, two sisters aged 14 and 7 who lost their home in a fire, and several others targeted by the occupation “child services.”

Market Garden wouldn’t have gone down like that if I was in charge. I would have gotten to Arnhem in time. I would have simply just gone faster.

The situation in Gaza is untenable. This war needs to end. Today, I presented a robust package of sanctions on Hamas terrorists, extremist ministers in the Israeli government, violent settlers and entities that support impunity in the West Bank. My press remarks ↓

Kharkiv has lived on the frontline for almost four years now. Among other things, it means our children cannot attend normal school. Gathering so many kids in one building when your neighbor is a genocidal maniac is a risk no parent would take.

Head of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola has arrived in #Kyiv. Welcome! Ukraine and EU need each other to be strong and safe.

Ukraine's 45 day drone campaign against Russian oil refineries, pipelines, and pumping stations has been so successful that Russia is now forced to reduce oil production as there physically is nowhere to store it now. The Kremlin is now losing billions in revenue every day.

Literally everything this administration has done has been about trying to hit that fucking quota

"After Russia attacked NATO, Donald has issued an ultimatum......to NATO". The view from the bunker. Like & subscribe. youtu.be/YEj0SwNfYo8

OSINT analysts exposed the base of Russia’s elite drone unit “Rubikon,” located at the Patriot expo center near Moscow. The leak came via propagandist Solovyov, whose video revealed signs and unit insignia. Rubikon fields 7 detachments of 130–150 troops each, specializing in FPV and naval drones.

Savoring the last warm days before we’ll have to unpack our coats and brace for yet another russian campaign to destroy our infrastructure. Not looking forward to the latter.

At a joint presser with Metsola, Zelensky said Russia’s Sumy offensive has failed, Ukraine is conducting successful ops inside Russia, and “Plan A” is to end the war next year, “Plan B” to raise $120B. He urged tougher EU sanctions so Putin feels prolonging war means more pain.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 King Charles: Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand together in support of Ukraine to deter aggression.

Russia's average daily seaborne crude oil exports fell by 934,000 barrels last week to 3.18 million, or 22.7%. Revenue from its sale also fell by the same amount, resulting in a loss of nearly $400 million for Russia, Bloomberg reports. Ukrainian sanctions must continue💪

The bingo boards are really filling up!

Russian losses per 17/09/25 reported by the Ukrainian General Staff +1020 men +5 tanks +3 AFVs +36 artillery +360 UAVs

🇺🇦👀 "I won't give up Donbas, AFU will defeat the Russians, things are going well": Zelenskyy made this statement yesterday at a closed meeting with his faction, says MP Zheleznyak.

🔥 ATESH agents paralyzed a railway junction near Yekaterinburg, threatening Russia's entire military logistics. ❗️This junction was used to supply ammunition, armored vehicles, fuel, and personnel to the front, as well as to factories and warehouses in the north and east.

Trump dodged the question of when Ukraine will receive the Patriot air defense systems that the U.S. president announced two months ago. He did not answer the Ukrainian journalist’s question and instead said that Ukraine has "serious problems."

🇺🇦🇺🇸🗽 Zelensky will participate in the UN General Assembly in New York next week!

Russians in a buggy run over their comrade

Ukrainian soldiers from the 57th Otaman Kost Hordiienko Motorized Brigade captured a Kenyan citizen who had been tricked by Russia into going to war. Evans, 36, call sign "Ivan," said that he had spent two weeks in Russia as a tourist, after which he was offered a job there⤵️

"They sent us in the gas pipeline ten at a time.The first eight km were on scooters;after that,we were given handmade wheeled carts.Ours will shoot us if we don't carry out the mission,it doesn't matter how we do it" Mikhail "Sever" Stepanov,born on December 3,1999,in the Vologda region of Russia⤵️

Some ask about Victory (still a cat). So, here she is. She adores this umbrella.

The 57th Brigade captured a Kenyan national, Evans, near Vovchansk . He says he came to Russia as a tourist, was coerced into signing work papers that turned out to be a military contract, given one week of training and threatened, then fled to Ukrainian forces begging not to be sent back to Russia.

Reports from occupied Berdyansk say the city faces a severe fuel shortage. Gas stations are out of petrol, forcing drivers to search across town in hopes of finding any supply. Ukrainian sanctions.

i do think people have overindexed the power of the media environment and particularly being able to 'overpower' material conditions

FT: US-German firm Auterion is sending 33,000 AI “strike kits” to Ukraine this year, upgradeable with its Nemyx software that lets drones operate as a single coordinated force.

A Ukrainian drone strike on September 16 reportedly hit the antenna of a Russian Sopka-2 radar system near Harmashevka, Voronezh region. The system is used for airspace monitoring.

🐴🤡 Lavrov threatens to kill foreign soldiers if they are on Ukrainian territory — he calls Western peacekeeping contingents “legitimate targets”

🇩🇪 Russia's violation of Polish and Romanian airspace is part of a long-running trend of boundary-testing and sabotage by Putin, said German Chancellor Merz, - Reuters "A dictated peace, a peace without freedom, would encourage Putin to seek his next target," added Merz.

They take on dangerous challenges, risking their lives to save others. They pull people out of rubble and put out fires. They come to the rescue where they're needed most — when they're needed most. Happy Rescuer's Day!

Lavrov: Zelenskyy said it is necessary to motivate China to take a path without war&that this largely depends on the strength of America&Europe That is,he is pitting the USA &Europe against the People's Republic of China No,Lavrov.Stop blaming others for your wrongdoings.Russia started this war

Recon units of the 15th Separate Artillery Reconnaissance Brigade Chornyi Lis spotted and adjusted a missile strike on a Russian Buk-M2 air defense system. The strike triggered a detonation and destroyed the system.

Russian losses ‼️

ATESH partisans disabled a key railway hub near Yekaterinburg, damaging relay equipment and disrupting strategic routes. The hub was vital for moving ammo, fuel, vehicles, and troops to the front and supplying factories and depots in Russia’s north and east.

"The situation with gasoline in the LPR&DPR is terrible.Prices have been jacked up 2-3 times” People complain that the fuel crisis in the occupied territories of the Luhansk&Donetsk regions has reached a critical point:prices have soared,at some gas stations,gasoline is available only with coupon

Signum drone systems battalion within the 53rd Mechanized Brigade truck and destroyed multiple Russian troop-transport vehicles, degrading Russian reinforcements and mobility in the sector.

German Chancellor Merz says Russia’s violations of NATO airspace in Poland and Romania are part of Putin’s long-term strategy of border testing and sabotage. He stressed that peace in Ukraine cannot come at the expense of sovereignty, warning a dictated peace would only embolden Moscow.

Ukrainian "Tur" unit scouts found WWII-era detonators with Nazi symbols at a Russian ammo depot. These date back to a 1939 USSR-Germany deal for military tech, meaning the devices are over 85 years old. t.me/c/2155483161...

Russia launched a massive drone strike last night targeting substations powering Ukraine’s railway network, Deputy PM Oleksiy Kuleba said. Over 20 passenger trains were on routes during the attack, none hit. Still, 26 trains are delayed over an hour as Russia seeks to disrupt transport.

🫡🇺🇦Ukrainian Defense Forces are destroying the enemy: since the beginning of the year, more than 305 thousand occupiers have been neutralized (305,630), - Syrskyi ❗️We are also destroying enemy logistics: in 2025, 29,095 units of auto equipment have already been hit.

So, hot take but actually the solution is not quotas (obviously) but just more jobs in the academic humanities. Part of the problem with the humanities jobs crisis is you get hired basically sight unseen (straight from PhD) or not at all and I'd buy that process is more ideological.

Kharkiv citizens watch the sunset as russian drones fly over the city and the air raid alert wails. I can’t explain this to anyone who hasn’t lived here. Being so close to the frontlines, with no warning before the bombs fall, changes you. 1/3

‼️ 225 OSHP: These detonators were found at a russian ammunition depot by “Tur” reconnaissance unit. Some of Nazi detonators from WW2 have been preserved in russian depots. Nazi weapons are still being used to kill people. Hitler and Stalin regimes are gone, but the putin regime has replaced them.

"Russia has no friendly intentions toward neighboring countries." - Zelensky said following a report by the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service. The President noted that the Russian system is being reorganized for the ability to wage war "at any moment and against any opponent."

Why should anybody talk to Trump? He is an unreliable con man. He lies all the time. He is full of unjustified grudges. He does not help anybody but his family. He changes his mind all the time even after signing a contract. He has no values. Trump is a bad human being.

🌐 Global crisis awaits us next year, like in 2008 — Business Insider 🇺🇸 USA is experiencing a record low number of building permits, and rising interest rates are reducing the number of loans for businesses. Trade war with China is adding to pressure. Probability of recession is estimated at 60-80%

"Thank God, the Russian missile that hit the Cabinet of Ministers building did not explode. If it had detonated, half of the building would have been destroyed." - Zelensky said in an interview with Sky News.

A Ukrainian MiG-29 struck and neutralized a group of Russian fighters massed in a building with a single precision strike using AASM HAMMER guided bombs.

They were sworn in with a trifecta and positive approvals and they have managed to tank it despite so many in positions of power being in the tank *for them* and things haven't even gone to hell yet and it's very likely that they will!

Russian Duma speaker Volodin claims the drones that entered Poland were a “European provocation,” insisting they came from Ukraine. Well, their society will believe it.

youtu.be/BGoG63HQYK8?... “Russia, is in fact, losing this war” General Keith Kelloggs comments seem to of upset the Russians. Truth Hurts!

‘Let’s divide Poland and devour it’ , grinning poet recites on Russian state TV. Adding ‘it’s time to judge it for all its deeds’ and calls Poland ‘a child of Versailles abortion’. If anyone has any doubts about Russia’s imperialistic hunger

Classified innovations enabled Ukraine’s UAV Forces to destroy three Russian air defense systems worth $80–90M. Footage will be released later. In August, the 412th Nemesis Regiment hit two Tor-M2s, a Buk-M3 launcher, and the so-called “chupa-chups” — a Buk-M2 radar.

Latvia has delivered the second batch of Patria 6×6 armored vehicles to Ukraine, the Defense Ministry confirmed. A total of 42 units have been pledged.

Even if Russia attacked Gotland and Rügen, and there were fatalities, I don't think NATO would retaliate against Russia. They just can't muster the courage. There is really only the coalition of the unwilling. They can't even do proper sanctions or confiscate assets.

"Poland has turned into a convenient field for all kinds of accidents&unexpected events that might create a threat to the USSR"-the photo is from a Soviet newspaper that has published a Note from the Soviet government,handed to the ambassador in Poland on September 17,1939 Today is September 17,2025

Politico: The EU may sanction more Chinese firms aiding Russia to sway Trump, but his demands: NATO to stop buying Russian oil and impose 50–100% tariffs on China, are seen in Europe as impossible. Diplomats fear he is setting a trap to dodge responsibility.

🇺🇦❤️ As part of the initiative Bring Kids Back UA it was possible to save another 16 Ukrainian children from the temporarily occupied territories.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: My plan "A" is to end the war this year; plan "B" (to keep fighting) requires $120 billion.

King Charles III: “Today, as tyranny once again threatens Europe, we and our allies stand united in support of Ukraine to deter aggression.” Meanwhile, Trump gives a token nod but keeps pressuring Zelensky to give up land instead of backing Ukraine’s sovereignty.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The EU is rushing to spend billions on setting up a “drone wall” with technology that has been battle-tested in Ukraine, - FT Hours after Nato jets shot down drones that entered Poland’s airspace, Ursula von der Leyen said Europe had to “build a drone wall” on its eastern border.
