⚡️ On October 15 in Baku, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov directly rejected any potential ceasefire in Ukraine, explicitly countering US President Donald Trump’s October 11 announcement of an energy truce.

Zelensky speaking the truth. The US is now a Russian ally, and the Starlink decision is a massive benefit for the Russian military (and it has nothing to do with Ukraine attacking Russian refineries). The US is literally riding to Putin’s rescue.

Eleven of 17 Starlink antennas at a secure site near Sofia were torched by two masked individuals, Bulgarian MP Ivaylo Mirchev says. He is attacking the government's silence and asking where its response to suspected Russian sabotage is. Poland's Exatel station burned on September 23. Now Bulgaria.

Beautifully executed by a gifted politician in straightforward language. Collins appeared shaken as Ossoff kept training the spotlight on his parroted claims that Trump won in 2020. Love it.

OSSOFF: You didn't answer earlier. Answer now. Did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? MIKE COLLINS: You know, the 2020 election. Everybody has seen my views on that OSSOFF: What are they? COLLINS: There was a lot of doubt in that election OSSOFF: I didn't hear an answer

Pretty sad. And self-inflicted. In general people need to get out more, and it looks like the guys are the dragging edge. Conversely, good for the women who get out with their lady friends.

🇺🇸 US Democratic Senators call US President Donald Trump's announcement authorizing the purchase of Russian diesel fuel for six months a betrayal of Ukraine, European allies, and US national security. They said the war with Iran has caused gasoline and diesel prices to skyrocket.

I also saw @chriso-wiki.bsky.social relay some Russian commentary that they see it as a way to get critical parts and components to repair refineries and other facilities the Ukrainians have damaged or destroyed. That wasn't part of the OFAC waiver, but we're on a slippery slope.

Russian commanders continue executing their own men, according to HUR wiretaps from the Kramatorsk front. When an infantryman stopped moving after barely 150 meters with crippling back pain, his superior dismissed it as malingering and told comrades to simply put a bullet in his skull.

Where is the national interest of the United States? I have written before that Moscow sees negotiations as "business in exchange for war," while the US perceives them as "peace in exchange for business." ⤵️

The sheer scale of russia’s war in Ukraine has created a massive, permanent byproduct: hundreds of thousands of battle-hardened veterans. But as the frontlines grind on, a darker global trend is emerging, these men, and the infrastructure behind them, are becoming a permanent export. 🧵

So now, with the constant misuse of "communist," we're completely free of any objective connotation to the true meaning of words. Like calling Talarico a transexual...

I recall that shit started under Bush 1, when they'd use "liberal" as a pejorative (about the cognitive level of "a drunk") against dems with their nose wrinkling and sort of a scowl. At least most of the people they referred to were liberal, but they made the term sound bad.

I know it's not you, but I get so irritated that the GOP runs with a pejorative term like "communist" and throws it at every dem, while that politician has zero connection with actual historical meaning of the word. Basically words have no meaning, and journos never call them on it.

This dynamic where the GOP just keeps moving steadily rightward into the abyss (what Rick Perlstein has called “the authoritarian ratchet”) has been at work for many decades now and shows no signs of abating. bsky.app/profile/seth...
