#Serbia is organizing parliamentary elections on October 25th. These elections could be the most consequential in a generation. I highly recommend watching Talk Eastern Europe's interview with Nikola Ristić - one of the 1st activists to organize after the Novi Sad tragedy. youtu.be/P2svouL3SUM?...

Good morning from Krakow! It is October. Outlook for this month looks nice for this part of Europe. We need to enjoy it. The coming winter is looking tough and extremely challenging.

everywhere online I see the narrative that it is Europe that is preparing for war, they are the ones who will provoke conflict. To me it's also a sign that Russia will fake some sort of provocation, blame it on hawkish Europe and then "strike back".

This only convinces me more that Russians are planning an attack against a European country. They will actively deny it up until and even after the fact.

Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference.
