A Ukrainian combine harvester fitted with a massive anti-drone protective structure heads out to work the fields. A telling image of what farming in Ukraine looks like, where even agricultural machinery increasingly needs protection from Russian drones.

Pesticide pollution is a problem especially in the middle of the country. And sometimes there's enough of it to possibly hurt aquatic plants and animals.

Ankara has delivered an incendiary message to Moscow, and while there may be too much at stake for the conflict to spill out of control it also won’t go away

A recurrent theme in this excellent story about China’s progress is that people there regard Trump as essential to their success, including his ability to drive scientific talent from the US www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...
In Beijing, a think tank at Renmin University recently published an assessment titled
"Thank Trump," which wryly hailed his efforts to hasten the "twilight of an empire," by undermining America's alliances, civil service, scientific institutions, and democratic credibility. In the past two years, the international approval rating of the U.S. has dropped nearly forty points, according to a worldwide survey by the Alliance of Democracies; in multiple polls, China now rates higher than the U.S.

Yeah, I kind of agree with that. But Britain is just a mess of forced migration (celtic-romano-anglo-saxon-Norse-FrenchNorse) overlaid with centuries of global colonial immigrants and now modern immigration is an issue? Or is Britain maybe more similar to America, just 500 years older?

How do Finland & Sweden differ from Germany in attitudes to immigrants and naturalization to the language and culture? It all gets so complicated and imprecise and depends on what time boundaries you want to use.

Assar Grinde🇨🇦🇺🇦 @assargrinde.bsky.social · 09/09/2026
Do you think this more of a concern in old world nations (such as Europe) rather than the modern nations like America, Canada and Australia that have been recently colonised? Where we have an identity largely based on diverse immigration as a core policy, that may not be the case in Europe.

Today's humiliation by the US government in refusing to sanction China over its deep business dealings with Iran proves one golden rule. The Trump administration will only take action to hurt democratic allies, never dictatorships/authoritarians.

I can't believe most Americans want to be on the side of Russia & North Korea and against Europe, Canada, Japan & South Korea. Does Trump actually think befriending all of China's allies, while abandoning traditional allies, will lead to an isolated China & a more dominant America? Stupidity.

Here Trump makes clear what everyone suspected: he considers the dictator of North Korea a closer ally than democratic South Korea. Overtly shifting the US into the Axis of Evil column.

Based on my very good relationship with Kim Jong Un, of North Korea, I am not happy with the fact that the United States has, long ago, agreed to participate in Joint Military Exercises with South Korea. These exercises are not only costly, with much of these costs paid for by the United States of America (as usual!), but send a signal that is totally inappropriate and hostile, to a Country that, as long as Donald J. Trump has been President, has been unthreatening and respectful. Therefore, and based on the fact that it is too late to cancel, I have instructed Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to substantially reduce the Joint Military Exercises! While somewhat unrelated (?), I recently asked the President of South Korea if they would like to join us in the Denuclearization of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and they said,
"No thanks!" Thank you for your attention to this matter.
President DONALD J. TRUMP

The most impressive figure in Fedorov’s entire report: the interception rate of cruise missiles increased from 47% to 87%, while the interception rate of drones rose from 83% to 91%. How? By conducting an After Action Review (AAR) of every single large-scale attack.
