This is 9 minutes of Trump misleading the American people about Russia & Ukraine. Russia is not gaining land, Ukraine is not bleeding manpower (but Russia is), Putin is not interested in negotiating, Ukraine is not causing high diesel prices (Iran war is) pbs.org/newshour/politics/wa…

Eighteen Ukrainian soldiers died fighting for the U.S. in Iraq. Many more Ukrainian pilots and contractors died in Afghanistan. Zero American soldiers fought for Ukraine.
.@POTUS: "We've given a lot to Ukraine. They've given nothing to us. Remember that."

Another embarrassment.
Witkoff to Putin: “You talk so much about my president, President Trump, being a humanitarian — you are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that.”

Putin’s “Doppelgängers”: The Insider gets inside the operations of the Kremlin's foreign disinformation network Internal documents demonstrate the cynisism of the Kremlin's information warriors — who describe their own work as generating "fakes." theins.press/en/inv/298359

📢 [Preliminarni izveštaj o izbornoj kampanji] 🧵 @rasaned: Nažalost, ocena izborne kampanje nije dobra. Tri su ključna fenomena koji karakterišu ovu kampanju: izborni inženjering, ograničavanje slobode i - nasilje.

Vučić is desperately offering energy concessions to buy US support before the elections. The latest report that Hungarian MOL has signed an agreement to buy out Russia's stake in Serbian NIS is the latest manipulation. Iron Gate 3 and LNG are more promises to buy time. Russia will not surrender its energy leverage in Serbia. Russia will never give up its energy in Serbia. Putin needs Vučić in power. Moscow backs him and Putin endorsed him several weeks ago.. and reports of Russian intelligence is helping his regime counter protests. Meanwhile, Vučić’s people in Washington portray him as Putin’s victim, pointing to Serbian weapons reaching Ukraine. Vučić is no helpless victim: Serbia’s arms exports serve whoever pays, while Russian intelligence retains room to operate. CPAC and EXPO 2027 are part of the same desperate PR campaign to sell Vučić as pro-Western while he cooperates with Russia, China and Iran. He wants the West to believe that without him, the Balkans will descend into chaos….the same blackmail Milošević used in the 1990s. I saw reports on arrests and intimidation and they reveal a regime afraid of losing control. Before October 25, the West should declassify intelligence on potential provocations and expose covert operations threatening Serbia’s people and institutions.

More USA support for free and fair elections in Serbia.
Grateful for this statement from Senators Shaheen, Wicker, Durbin, Grassley, Murphy, Ernst, and Tillis calling for free and fair elections in Serbia on Oct 25! The Vucic regime is aggressively trying to rig the election using every dirty trick in the book. The Serbian people deserve free and fair elections! Pass the SRBIJA Act foreign.senate.gov/press/dem…

Moldova has announced an investigation into concerns that Russian tech giant Yandex has been harvesting the personal data of its citizens by sending it directly to servers in Russia rather than storing it in the Netherlands as previously believed. rferl.org/a/moldova-russian-…

Trump will not end this war by continually pressuring Ukraine. It is clear that neither Witkoff or Kushner has actually read the "Art of the Deal." The president's negotiating team is completely unqualified & has been schooled by the Russians at every turn washingtonexaminer.com/op-ed…

The Vucic regime has again used totalitarian surveillance software to target Serbian Patriots. The regime must refrain from arrests, use of force, and surveillance against opposition, students, and protesters. The Serbian people deserve free and fair elections.

I am watching with great concern the escalating crisis in NATO Ally Albania. The Albanian people deserve freedom, rule of law, and institutional accountability. The government must refrain from all violence against protestors. Young people deserve a voice in the future of their country.

A wonderful, beautifully made adaptation of Jane Austen's novel, and a quintessentially British film. See it in the cinema on the biggest screen possible.
