2/2 β Germany is already by far the biggest contributor to the fund and has so far contributed ~β¬557.1 million in funding which equals nearly 25.8% of all funds pledged. Another ~β¬250 million will therefore be the basis for major repairs especially over the winter period.
Bessentβs accusations reminded me of this masterpiece.
πΊπΈ Bessent is blaming Ukraine for Americaβs energy shock. Unbelievable. The AFU has hit Russian refineries for 3 years without this price explosion. Then Washington jumped into a war with Iran β and prices blew up. Have they completely lost it?
WaPo article reveals that a group of pro-Trump influencers were quietly given civilian roles at the Pentagon 1 is retired Army Colonel Thomas Anderson, known as @CynicalPublius. He promoted Hegsethβs propaganda & actively participated in anti-Ukraine rhetoric & spouted straight-up Kremlin lies
Bessent: "Everyone in this audience and every news outlet should be ashamed for taking a lying regime at face value"
RUSSIAN ADVANCES IN AUGUST WERE MARGINALLY HIGHER THAN JULY Even so they were slow and small, and the cost in manpower is running at a rate that has to be hurting. Days of over 1600 dead were not uncommon. Putin launched a major security services re-jig on August 31st aiming to increase his own
A Russian attack on Odesa damaged a 24-story residential building, destroying apartments on several floors. Nearby buildings, cars, office buildings and two educational facilities were also damaged. At least 8 people were injured, and parts of the city lost power. Kyiv also suffered damage. #Ukraine

Russia's attendance at the opening of US-hosted G20 finance meetings sparked European pushback on Monday... Asked about the invitation, Trump told reporters: "We like getting along with everybody. One of the reasons I'm so successful, I get along with everybody." www.france24.com/en/live-news...
OTD in 2022 the 4th deadline for my army to capture all of Donetsk passed. 1.5 million casualties and several goodwill gestures later, we still have not. β°οΈβ°οΈ I remain a master strategist.
ROSSVET FAILS TO REACH ALTITUDE The Russian system to replace Starlink launched its second batch of satellites yesterday but the near 200 satellite payload failed to reach their operating altitude and they're all expected to burn up in a matter of days. Its a minor disaster for the russians whose
UKRAINIAN FORCES ADVANCE Ukrainian forces advanced in the Sumy, Borova, and Slovyansk directions and the Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area. Russian forces recently advanced in the Slovyansk direction and Kostyantynivka-Druzhkivka tactical area. Overall the front remains largely static.
TRUMP RETHINKING US POLICY OVER BRITAINS FALKLAND ISLANDS The vindictive regime leader is rethinking Americas neutral policy over the Falklands. Its because Britain refused to enter combat against Iran despite allowing US forces to operate out of the UK. The UK fought and won a 74 day war after
1/2 Russia struck the Orlivka international ferry crossing on the Ukrainian-Romanian border with Shahed drones overnight. Buildings and the crossing grounds were hit. Fires broke out. Operations are suspended. A border crossing into an EU/NATO state.
"Russians who crave revenge for invented causes and revel in propaganda are complicit in all the killings, violence, and war crimes committed by our worthless, blood-soaked state." A Russian woman explains why Russiaβs imperial ambitions are destroying the country from within.
These drones are difficult to shoot down, and air raid alerts in Kyiv and the region have been sounding almost nonstop for several days. This is paralyzing life in a city where millions of people live. The relentless danger and inability to plan anything are causing enormous exhaustion.
How can anyone adapt to the constant threat of death, especially with small children? This is not a "new normal." These are war crimes and terror against civilians. Russia must be stopped and punished.
PENTAGON CHIEFS WARN HEGSETH ON IRAN WAR The Washington Post broke a story overnight saying that Pentagon chiefs have warned Hegseth that any more action against Iran will make it impossible to defend American interests abroad and even at home. The war has come as a very rude awakening for the
OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide. Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....
In just one week, Russia launched nearly 2,000 drones, more than 1,600 aerial bombs, and 31 missiles of various types at #Ukraine, including North Korean ballistic missiles. Kyiv and Kyiv region have been under attack by Russian jet-powered drones for the fourth consecutive day.
π©πͺ A Russian army mug was found in the possession of the deputy head of AfD in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. "It was given to me as a gift. Enough with this stupid mug," he told reporters. Thomas Tillschneider, through his lawyer, attempted to block the publication of footage from his office.
RUSSIAS PROBLEMS IN A SINGLE PHRASE
A Russian journalist told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov that Moscow now effectively has only two allies, North Korea and Iran, and asked: "How did we get to this point, how did we end up in such company?" Lavrov responded: "What's wrong with such company?" #Russia
