In bijna alle races gaat het over dure boodschappen, benzine en energierekeningen. Trumps oliedomme (handels)oorlogen jagen de prijzen op. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith (Mississippi) floepte eruit dat wie geen rundvlees kan betalen, maar wat anders moet eten. Haar tegenstander maakte er gehakt van:

Oh my, another idiot take that just won’t die. The Europeans are not funding Russia’s war. They started from a deep structural dependency on Russian energy and have made tremendous — and fast — progress on decoupling. This isn’t something you just turn off overnight. And they still contribute far more to Ukraine in aid anyway.
In contrast, the US is not even remotely dependent on Russian fossil fuels and yet the Kremlin asset in the White House is easing sanctions anyway while completely shutting off aid.
Contrary to the braindead takes of Trump apologists, the hypocrisy runs squarely through Washington, not Brussels.
In case you were wondering who was funding Russia's war on Ukraine, the EU is the number 1 purchaser of Russia's liquid natural gas and pipeline gas products through September 2026.energyandcleanair.org/august…

Slovenian philosopher Žižek: We would be much better without hope. We are not yet hopeless enough. Only when you are really desperate do you act.
In a film on the Munich deal, an anti-Nazi German says hope is an excuse to leave to others what you should do now. 1/

Servië kiest voor Europa en tegen Poetin. Na Boedapest overwint ook in Belgrado de stem van een open en democratische toekomst. Studentenbeweging wint de verkiezingen. 🇷🇸 🇪🇺

Belangrijke ontwikkelingen in het VK! De rol van Farage lijkt eindelijk uitgespeeld, zijn corruptie en Pro-Poetin politiek halen hem eindelijk in. Labour premier Andy Burnham heeft eindelijk door dat de Britse kiezer terug wil naar de Unie!
🇬🇧🇪🇺 Reform is finished.
The anti-EU party has fallen from first place a year ago to third.
Labour, the party bringing the UK back towards the EU, leads the polls at 30%.
Reform championed a Brexit that saw non-EU migration surge while European migration collapsed.
A Brexit sold on lies that held back productivity, growth and British wages.
Soon they will see the UK rejoin the EU and put an end to their sham.
Great news for Britain.
This is what Putin is afraid of in Ukraine. After Kyiv left Russia it would have grown rapidly. Putin could not allow that it would have threatened his perpetual rule.

21st century empires won’t need gunboats – they’ll just need to supply the AI running your defense network. When your national security relies on foreign code, military supremacy becomes digital colonialism. From the recent @RestIsPolitics podcast with @RoryStewartUK.

Zelenskyy: I offered the US three options if they want us to stop hitting Russian refineries:
1. Russia stops attacking our energy.
2. Open Starlink over Russian ballistic missile launch sites.
3. Give us Patriot missiles.
We got none. Instead, Starlink was restricted.

Ondanks de massale steun en hulp van #Poetin en #Trump verliest na 10 jaar aan de macht de partij van Vucic. Servië kiest net als Hongarije eerder dit jaar voor democratie en Europa. #EU moet nu haast maken me uitbreiding!

De voter suppression in #Brazilië door het saboteren van het openbaar vervoer is zo ernstig dat het hoogste gerechtshof in Brazilië de verkiezingsdag met 2 uur verlengde. Goed nieuws voor de democratie en voor Lula.
BREAKING: Brazil’s Supreme Court, in a rare move, ruled to extend voting by two hours after complaints by Lula’s campaign about public transport issues.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings.
This happened in Alaska. Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, stepped down after finding out that the Russian "Novatek" company, which is under US sanctions, has been involved in a $25 billion energy project in Alaska. The CEO thought that he was working with Gentry Beach, a close friend of Donald Trump Junior.
Reportedly, that project was also discussed between Witkoff and Jared Kushner when they were with Putin. The White House admitted that the project was talked about "briefly".
We are witnessing the greatest corruption scandal the USA has ever witnessed. It all leads to Trump, his family and the Russians, and apparently they were even ready to sell riches of Alaska to the Russians.
The people in Alaska just need to look over to Russia, where the richest regions in terms of minerals and hydrocarbon resources have been stripped-mined, transferring all the wealth to Moscow and Saint Petersburg and leaving a scarred landscape in extreme poverty. That is the result of rampant corruption.
We are starting to see more details why Trump and his friends are trying so strongly to bully Ukraine into surrender. This is most certainly only the tip of the iceberg.
