insane question to ask your taxi driver on the same day this is reported

While everyone focuses on Pokrovsk, the situation in the Hulyaipole direction continues to deteriorate even further for Ukraine. Russia is advancing to new areas while facing minimal resistance and is now approaching the rear of Hulyaipole itself.

It’s so fascinating how much they lie about Islam in attempt to dispute it

Israel has been holding the body of Anis Dawla, a Palestinian who died on hunger strike in an Israeli prison in 1980, for 45 years, despite his family pleading for it to be returned. Israel currently holds hundreds of bodies of deceased Palestinians but no one talks about that.

Let’s not pretend that Ukr support is not arguably the most ambitious military aid program in history. There is a better way: working with Russia and Ukraine to craft a framework peace deal that doesn’t just end this war but prevents the next one from breaking out.

There is no legal way to seize frozen Russian assets, emphasized Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. More statements: Confiscation of frozen Russian assets will not save Ukraine; it will not be able to recover any debts. Russia will give an adequate response to attempts to steal its property; Dialogue between Russia and the US on bilateral issues is ongoing, but not as fast as desired, the minister said. "It will take a long time to clear the backlog. With the arrival of the new administration, we felt its readiness to resume dialogue"; The Anchorage agreements between Russia and the US do not call into question the results of the 2014 and 2022 referendums, said Sergey Lavrov. "No one questions the territorial integrity of Russia and the choice of the residents of Crimea, Donbass, and Novorossiya."

The amount of adults who watch kids shows and can't engage with mature content on an intellectual level is absurd. They infantilize themselves to desturbing degrees.

They are really incompetent… all of them. 🇺🇸 Deliveries of American weapons to NATO allies, with subsequent transfers to Ukraine, have been halted due to the U.S. government shutdown Axios reports this, citing sources in the State Department. The affected shipments include AMRAAM air-to-air missiles, HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, and Aegis radar systems. As a result of the shutdown, Denmark, Croatia, and Poland will not receive their systems, Axios quotes an official as saying: “This causes significant harm to our allies and partners, as well as to American industry, by delaying the delivery of many of these critically important capabilities abroad.”

🇪🇺 1984 was meant to be a warning, not an instruction manual. Brussels just announced its newest creation: a “Centre for Democratic Resilience” to fight foreign disinformation. Translation? The EU is building its own Ministry of Truth. They say it’s to “counter Russian and Chinese narratives.” But in practice, it’s a system for policing speech, memory, and dissent, dressed up as “resilience.” It will monitor journalists, influencers, even ordinary citizens, deciding what qualifies as truth. They call it “resilience,” but it’s really fragility disguised as virtue, the fear that one alternative idea, one historical interpretation, one article that doesn’t toe the Atlanticist line could puncture the entire illusion. So they create a pan‑European fact‑checking guild and a network of state‑approved influencers to “raise awareness.” You won’t need to burn books when you can just throttle their reach. The EU’s logic is Orwellian to the letter: War is peace. (They call censorship “protection.”) Freedom is slavery. (They call propaganda “resilience.”) Ignorance is strength. (They call obedience “unity.”) The timing tells the story. Brussels is losing control, over its economic narrative, over its citizens, over the war narrative it sold as salvation. As dissent spreads from Paris to Prague, they’re not debating ideas and encouraging debate, they’re outlawing them. A bureaucratic empire that no longer commands belief now seeks to manufacture it by decree. And here’s the real danger: once “truth” becomes a state‑licensed product, everything else becomes contraband. Today it’s Russia. Tomorrow it’s anyone who asks the wrong question about migration, energy, or NATO. Europe’s new “democracy shield” isn’t protecting democracy, it’s armoring tyranny with moralistic language. What began as a union of nations has metastasized into an ideological commissariat, determined to dictate what is real, what is history, and what may be said aloud. The ghosts of the 20th century must be howling. 1984 wasn’t supposed to be a blueprint. Brussels just made it a policy paper. Can we please make 1984 a cautionary work of fiction again?

The rich: “if you want to help the poor then have you considered making the rich richer instead? We promise it will trickle down this time”.

What an absolute farce

They were always in the same team…

Should have thought about that when he refused a diplomatic solution with Russia to prevent the war in Dec 21. I hope every single NATO-fanboy understands this

If China's population is 600 million, that means China's nominal GDP per capita is $29,666 US dollars. Making China richer than oil-rich Bahrain and similar to Kuwait. When measured by purchasing power, China's Per capita GDP would be $68,000. Making China richer than the EU GDP per capita (PPP) Thank you for your glowing endorsement of China's economic miracle.

The worst journalists covering China are no longer the foreigners who don't speak Chinese - it's the mainlanders who immigrated to US & write for NYT, WSJ & Hoover Institute They simply aren't balanced - they are activists who masquerade as journalists spewing disinformation

What an idiot. I travelled on those trains, and they were packed with Chinese travellers
