❗️Russia sees Ukraine’s population reduction as one of its war goals — risk of demographic collapse in country, — The Economist.

I am British and Russia is my enemy.

🤡 Dugin has delivered yet another “philosophical” revelation. Are you ready? Being Ukrainian is a mental disorder Alexander Dugin, one of the ideologues of Russia’s war against Ukraine, has come up with an entire theory claiming that Russians are capable of loving one another, while Ukrainians supposedly want nothing more than to see their neighbors suffer. He called Zelenskyy a “Little Russian demon” and “the living embodiment of the dark side of the Ukrainian subconscious.” He also declared Ukrainian identity “a form of ethnopsychological disorder among Eastern Slavs.” Dugin has stared into the abyss for so long that the abyss finally told him to seek professional help.

Are you fucking kidding us? The US Secretary of Defense posts “Patriots in control,” a notorious QAnon slogan. THREE MINUTES later, Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev responds with “WWG1WGA,” another QAnon cult mantra. What the actual fuck is this? A coordinated trolling operation? A joint US-Russian QAnon convention? Or have the lunatics finally taken over both asylums? These people are running two nuclear powers, for fuck's sake.

⚡️ Russia withdraws from anti-torture convention, ending independent monitoring of detention facilities The withdrawal took effect on November 1. The Council of Europe's Committee for the Prevention of Torture will no longer be able to independently inspect Russian prisons, penal colonies, pre-trial detention centers, and other places of detention. Russia had been a party to the convention since 1998. During that time, the committee conducted 30 visits and inspected more than 450 detention facilities. However, Russian authorities allowed only four reports to be published. This is particularly alarming given the numerous accounts of Ukrainians being tortured in Russian captivity. The UN has documented systematic beatings, electric shocks, suffocation, sexual violence, and abuse of prisoners of war. In a December 2025 report, 185 out of 187 interviewed Ukrainian service members released from captivity reported torture or ill-treatment. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the committee had received reports of torture and ill-treatment in Russia and Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine. However, it was unable to investigate these allegations on the ground because Russian authorities refused to cooperate.

Marine Le Pen, Geert Wilders and Viktor Orbán all backed Polish President Nawrocki against Tusk. All three have a history of ties to Putin’s Russia. Even Alexander Dugin and Dmitry Medvedev have sided with Nawrocki. Russia and its allies in Europe clearly want PiS back in power in Poland. I wonder why.
