The plague has returned to Russia in their Irkutsk region as it is being reported a lab worker broke containment and died from her infection. Danish journalists report that Putin has restarted Russia's Dead Hand doomsday system to assure everyone in the West is nuked should Russia be attacked.

Moscow says there’s been a small accident but the situation is all under control. That’s how Pravda first reported the Chernobyl disaster, 30 April 1986, buried at the bottom of an inside page. In case anyone needs a reminder.

The fact that Western embassies and international missions are openly refusing to give in to the Kremlin’s threats and publicly declaring that they’re staying in Kyiv is a great slap in Putin’s face and a very eloquent middle finger to him. Excellent and thank you.

"Empire of Grift” by @anneapplebaum.wsocial.eu
Slowly, the Brazilians were learning the same lesson as other American allies around the world: The United States of America is no longer the entity they knew. And American power is no longer deployed solely by trained diplomats and reliable officials, working through state channels. Informal envoys, private companies, online grifters, and hardened ideologues both inside and outside the government matter more. Unlike their predecessors, these people do not talk about spreading democracy, and don’t want to build long-term relationships. They don’t care about America’s reputation. They are deploying the tools of American diplomacy and government for their own purposes, to promote their own business interests or their own ideological goals, because, suddenly, they can.

‼️ Russia: “Hungarian authorities have prepared a criminal case against Orban for the arrest of Ukrainian cash collectors carrying 70 million euros in gold and cash.” 👀 🍿 ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/10/02/v...
Hungarian authorities have prepared a criminal case against Orban for the arrest of Ukrainian cash collectors carrying 70 million euros in gold and cash.

Having secured a constitutional majority in the April elections, Hungary's new authorities launched a campaign dubbed "Operation Purification Fire" to dismantle the system of political corruption built by Viktor Orbán during his 16 years in power. One of the first results could be a criminal case against the former prime minister himself, the Financial Times reports.
