The covert war for American minds.

Russia, China, and Iran seek to spread disinformation and chaos in the United States.

How can Washington prevent malicious actors from influencing American voters?

Čovjek poznat kao "Kobra", u vojnoj uniformi i s crnom maskom, u novom dokumentarnom filmu ruske TV Zvezda kaže da se pridružio ruskom ratu protiv Ukrajine kako bi se odužio Moskvi za podršku Srbima.

Moscow mass raid: Around 200 young people, including children, were detained. Those who were of military age say they were handed draft notices or pressured to sign contracts to fight in Ukraine.

As they say in Russia, appetite grows while eating.
Russia’s top negotiator Medinsky says in Abu Dhabi that Moscow’s demands extend to all of Europe, far beyond Ukraine.
“The security system in Europe works very badly. The entire organism is sick. Ukraine is just an abscess that burst. The organism must be cured as a whole, a band-aid will not be enough.”
Dr Putin to the rescue of poor sick Europe…
The more Trump seeks to mollify Putin, the more megalomaniac the Russian demands become.

On this day in 1989, the Berlin Wall fell.

For 28 years, the Wall stood as a symbol of the division between East and West. During his visit to Berlin, President Ronald Reagan chipped away at a piece of the Wall himself. Years later, he and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev stood side by side at the Reagan Library in front of an actual section of it. A striking image of how much had changed.

That same piece of the Berlin Wall remains on display outside the Reagan Library today. We invite you to come see this piece of history for yourself.

[Ivana Stradner @ivanastradner]

As we remember the fall of the Berlin Wall today, let’s not forget Reagan’s unforgettable words:

“Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”

A speech that captured the courage to stand against tyranny. History worth remembering. 🇺🇸

🍷 Vučić was singing and partying — then suddenly looked miserable in the middle of a party in Belgrade

On the evening of November 6, former Serbian president visited the Savanova restaurant, also known as “Ćaci bar.” The informal gathering was organized by Dragan J. Vučićević, editor-in-chief of the tabloid Informer. Vučić himself shared a video from the event on Instagram.

At first, he was singing and having fun with Informer staff and supporters. Then he suddenly went quiet and stared into space with the expression of someone who had just remembered the election results.

🇷🇸 Mass arrests in Serbia. Security officers who tortured protesters are now being arrested themselves

Nine serving officers and one former officer from an elite police unit have been taken into custody. They are suspected of torturing, beating and intimidating participants in anti-corruption protests.

In August 2025, detained protesters were taken to a garage in a government complex in central Belgrade — directly beneath the offices of the prime minister and government ministers. People were beaten and forced to watch others being assaulted. One female student said a special forces commander had threatened to rape her.

And that's not all. Serbia has also opened criminal cases against Justice Minister Nenad Vujić and the head of the Security Agency, Vladimir Orlić. They are suspected of voting irregularities during elections.

Protests in Serbia continued for almost two years and ultimately led to a humiliating defeat for Vučić. Now those around him will have to answer for torture and election fraud. But this time, under the law.

The U.S. DoD is close to completing a European force posture review. The U.S. Navy Destroyers based in Rota, Spain should not be part of any reductions. These ships are key to defending Israel, contesting Russian and Chinese aggression, and defending U.S. economic interests.

Vulin… interesting

[Ivana Stradner @ivanastradner]

Reports indicate that the plane which departed Belgrade’s Airport for Moscow this evening is now returning to Belgrade.

Among those reportedly on board were
Aleksandar Vulin, Dušan Bajatović, and
Nenad Popović.

This is going to be really interesting…

#1 most tracked flight now: AirSerbia #JU134 from Belgrade to Moscow returning to Belgrade after turning around over Lithuania. Local media are reporting the flight is related to the current political situation, but we have no confirmation at this time. https://t.co/ktV3SW7JDT

Vucic plans to publish the list of people who “contributed” to Serbia’s “color revolution”. He will have SVR’s backing…

Now, Brussels should publish the list of people in the Serbian government who worked with FSB.

In a few weeks, you’ll see another Putin’s blackmail related to energy … this new government should nationalize NIS.

Vucic complains that his propaganda “Informer” will cease to exist soon and he calls @POTUS to help him.

President Trump doesn’t care about Vucic and he knows very well what the Vucic regime has been doing … and also lying to Washington, too.
