🇷🇺: 😈 “Let them be afraid”….but also…😅could you please keep me anonymous? (I think anger is more likely than fear) 🇷🇺: What could possibly go wrong? ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/09/29/p...
Major European businesses remaining in Russia have become the main target of the Kremlin's campaign to confiscate Russian assets from foreign owners, sources in the Russian government and the companies themselves told Reuters. "The time has come for asymmetric measures. Let them think about what measures they are taking [against us] and what sanctions they are imposing," a senior Russian government official familiar with the situation told the agency on condition of anonymity.


"Let them be afraid," he emphasized, responding to questions about which companies might become next targets and whether the Russian divisions of the Italian bank UniCredit and the Austrian Raiffeisen might be placed under temporary management. A source at a Russian corporation, also requesting anonymity, accused European companies of deliberately holding back the development of their Russian subsidiaries, which ultimately harms the Russian economy.

The bond yield story just keeps getting starker.
Line chart titled "10-Year Treasury Note" showing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note from late 2025 through September 2026. Treasury yields surged dramatically to 5.29 percent on September 29, 2026, the highest level in the period shown. This represents a sharp 130 basis point increase from the October 2025 low of 3.96 percent and a particularly rapid 45 basis point climb over just the final month. After trading mostly between 4.00 and 4.75 percent for nearly a year, yields broke decisively above 5.00 percent in September 2026, signaling a fundamental shift in borrowing costs and market conditions.

Comment from me: Russia is failing but it still has a lot of capacity to make life unbearable for Ukrainians and be a serious threat to Europe. Support for Ukraine must be proactive, not reactive.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

Ciaran Martin, the former head of Britain’s cyberdefense agency, said the F.B.I. hack likely had “huge impact on the operational capability” of the bureau and could rank as one of the most consequential data breaches in history — graver even than the Office of Personnel Management burglary.

“Losing the data on 20 million federal employees to the Chinese was bad,” Mr. Martin said. “But you knew the Chinese weren’t going to sell or publish it.”
