Trump once again is trying to blame Ukraine for global energy prices surging when his war against Iran is the direct cause of diesel hitting $6.50 in America.

Meanwhile in Russia… Bear invasion in Transbaikalia! www.kommersant.ru/doc/8990038
World
September 30, 2026, 5:07 AM

A high alert regime has been declared in Transbaikalia due to a bear invasion.

Transbaikal Governor Alexander Osipov announced a state of high alert for the entire region due to the increasing number of bears entering populated areas. The decision was made at a meeting of the regional Emergency Situations Committee.

At the municipal level, local authorities must notify the public, conduct training sessions for schoolchildren, control waste disposal to avoid attracting bears, and prevent uncontrolled livestock grazing. Medical services, including air ambulances, must be on standby. Law enforcement agencies have been ordered to conduct preventative raids in populated areas.

Today’s latest article is a deep dive into why Friedman’s golden arches theory proved so spectacularly wrong: www.baltictakes.com/golden-arche...
baltictakes.com
‘Golden arches theory’ was meant to predict peace. It encouraged war
The West thought economic integration restrained aggression, while Russia thought it restrained any response to its aggression. Only the willingness to defend rules actually matters.
