Asking Russia for permission on Ukraine's security guarantees is like giving burglars a say in a home security system.

German chancellor Friedrich Merz is conditioning his approval of the EU’s 2028-2034 budget on all member states committing to financial support for Ukraine starting in 2027 and beyond. This is reported by FT.

The defense of Ukraine is the defense of Europe.

Áron Orbán, the brother of former Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán, has been arrested on charges of human trafficking. According to accusations his company fraudulently provided Schengen visa for Vietnamese and other Asian immigrants.

Hear, hear…

Ukrainian long-range drones struck the Kirishi oil refinery, Leningrad region, in Russia last night. Large fires can be seen. It is Russia’s second largest refinery.

The refinery in Saratov, Russia, has been struck last night. A large smoke cloud above the facility can be seen.

German Lieutenant General Christian Freuding is going to become the next Inspecteur General of the German Armed Forces, the equivalent of a 4-Star General respecitively "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff". Starting February 2027 he will replace General Carsten Breuer.

For several years General Freuding has been head of the Ukraine Joint Situation Center at the German Ministry of Defence. His nomination as Germany's highest ranking soldier underlines Germany's priorities in security questions.

I'm increasingly sure that Hegseth's days as Secretary of Defense are counted.

Articles of impeachment have already been drafted in September by House Republican Thomas Massie. However, after this monumental defeat and the fact that many prominent Republicans are singling out the botched Iran war as the main reason for the midterm failure, it is almost certain those articles of impeachment will be pushed onto the floor.

Somebody needs to be blamed, and Hegseth is the most ideal candidate, if they want to spare Trump.

The Ryazan refinery, the 4th largest of its kind in Russia, has been targeted last night. Large fires can be seen.

Trump‘s first speech after his monumental defeat at the midterms is about….the ballroom. You read this correctly: the ballroom.

You cannot make this up. It is beyond parody. Seriously, this guy is completely lost.

More good news incoming:

Prices for crude oil have been today in free fall, losing 8% in a matter of few hours. The markets are obviously relieved regarding the midterm results in the USA.

Bad news for Putin and his lesser minions.

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

Analysts but also Republican figures like DeSantis think that the Democrat majority in the US Senate will persists until 2030 or even 2032. There is no viable path that it will end any time sooner.

This is even worse for the Republicans than the midterm loss alone.

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

According to CBS Trump considers firing Hegseth.

It would make sense. Pete is a viable scapegoat for the Iran disaster. Let's see.

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

JD Vance blaming the Iran war for the Republican defeat (which Trump started) and De Santis paraphrasing that Florida remains to be the only Republican-controlled state among the top 10 largest US states.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Republican primaries for POTUS 2028 have begun.

Three Russian shadow fleet tanker loaded with Russian diesel have altered course and won't be shipping to the US coast.

The "Agioi Fenandes" (IMO: 9798375) and "Talisman" (IMO: 9292060) switched their destination to "For Orders", meaning that they are actively looking for buyers. The "Leruo" (MO: 9385831) has set course for Brazil, while also looking for buyers. Source is "Marinetraffic".

It looks like that the Trump-Putin scheme has fallen apart the moment the midterms were lost for Trump. What a surprise..

[(((Tendar))) @Tendar]

Losing midterms is not the breaking news. It happens all the time. The breaking news is how Republicans lost. They lost decisively in states which were considered deeply red. Texas, North and South Carolina, possibly Alaska and even Kansas. How can you lose Kansas, a state where the senator has been Republican for 94 years, straight?

The MAGA movement is finished, period. The questions for the GOP is now how to move forward with Trump. If he stays in the White House for another 2 years, then a Democrat POTUS is virtually certain. Nobody is coming for JD Vance if this goes on, and Marco Rubio is too much of pro not to throw in his hat. Even Trump was conceding last night.

Speculations will now run wild, but a possible outcome is Trump's resignation, so that JD Vance can pardon him as it has been done with Nixon. This is the "carrot" from the GOP for Trump to go quietly. Yet, it might be an uphill battle for the Republican party, nonetheless, but it has better chances of succeeding than keeping the current course.

Interesting times are ahead.

The Republican majority over in the USA went up in flames, so did another major warehouse owned by “Ozon”, this time Adygeysk in Russia. The facility is effectively gone.
