Let’s skip the part why Trump is so p%ssed with Ukraine’s head (there is a lot to talk about) . Let’s talk why he is so in love with Russia’s dictator .

WELKER: “Trump waived sanctions on Russia — Why is Trump rewarding Putin, a dictator, who invaded Ukraine? Is Trump siding with Putin? Does Trump consider Ukraine an ally?” BESSENT: *word salad* 🥗 Russia was never a hoax.

Trump veroorzaakt een wereldwijde energiecrisis, wat de brandstofprijzen doet stijgen en de inflatie aanjaagt. Als dat een aanleiding (of excuus) wordt voor gewelddadig protest en onrust legt hij de schuld bij de migratie. Zo ondermijnt hij, parallel met Rusland, stabiliteit en democratie in de EU.

I don't think the United States should hurt US treaty allies because they don't want to purchase tech products sold by the US president's biggest political donor. That seems very corrupt to me, and a bad way to conduct US foreign policy. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.

🔥 BREAKING For five days Russia has thrown thousands of drones at Ukraine. The timing was no accident. It matched the Starshield speed restriction, which has still not been lifted. Moscow found the gap in the shield and pushed everything through it.

Europe is still budgeting for Ukraine's air defense as if it were an optional handout. Ukraine has been the front line for years, and every drone and interceptor we build reduces what Europe would otherwise have to spend defending its own border later.

Reminder: You cannot publish photos and videos of drone attacks.

October 18, 2026, 5:07 AM

In St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, as in other regions, the ban on publishing photos and videos of drone attacks, air defense operations, and the aftermath of such "incursions" remains in effect. The restrictions apply to personal and public social media accounts, instant messaging chats, and news commentary.
In St. Petersburg, posting such footage carries administrative liability under the city's administrative law:
for citizens - a fine of 4 thousand rubles, for a repeat violation - 5 thousand;
for officials - from 30 to 40 thousand rubles, repeated offenses - from 40 to 50 thousand;
for legal entities - from 200 to 300 thousand rubles, in case of repeat offense - from 300 to 500 thousand rubles.

Trump issues a "Complete and Total Endorsement" of Netanyahu, warning Israelis that if they elect anyone else, "America will have to do this work ourselves" in Iran. He calls Bibi an "even greater Partner for Peace" for waging the war with him.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump), dated Oct 18, 2026 at 7:45 AM. Addressed "To the Great People of Israel," it calls Bibi Netanyahu "a Great Warrior Prime Minister, and an even greater Partner for Peace in combatting the Islamic Republic of Iran." Trump says Iran has been "systematically destroyed, both Militarily and Financially," and that "we will soon finish the job." He writes: "If Israel has the wrong Leader, which would be anyone other than Bibi, America will have to do this work ourselves, and I am not inclined to do so." He praises Netanyahu as "Strong, Brave, and Brilliant" and declares "my Complete and Total Endorsement of Bibi Netanyahu in his upcoming Race for Re-Election." It ends: "BIBI NETANYAHU WILL NEVER LET YOU DOWN!" and is signed "DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA."
