President Trump wants a grand deal in Europe with Russia, and he is undoubtedly thinking of a land-for-peace arrangement. Someone, please tell the President about how the 1938 Munich Pact worked out.

President Trump said he will take Jensen Huang on his trip to Asia this month. That trip includes a stop in China’s Shenzhen. Huang is the subject of an internal Nvidia investigation. He could be responsible for export violations relating to China and in any event has shown horrible judgment. Including him on this trip is inappropriate.

[Gordon G. Chang @GordonGChang]

Nvidia sold chips that ended up in China despite U.S. export prohibitions. Jensen Huang and Nvidia had to know what was going on. Is the @FBI investigating. If not, why not?

Former CIA Director David Petraeus:

With Budanov now heading the Presidential Office, Zelenskyy has someone close to him who deeply understands the military situation and ongoing operations.

I know Budanov well. He is very direct in his assessments. We first spoke by video when he was near the russian border, commanding one of the first operations on russian territory.

Petraeus in an interview with SpyCast:

Ukraine has the largest and most innovative army in Europe. It is doing what NATO armies would otherwise have to do themselves if russia achieved its objectives in Ukraine. Moldova would be next, and possibly Lithuania after that.

During my recent visit to Ukraine, a russian jet-powered drone struck the locomotive of a train on the track next to ours. The passengers on trains leaving Ukraine are mostly women and children. It was terrifying for them.

Russia has suffered 1.5 million killed and wounded, more than the United States suffered during the entire Second World War. Last month alone, Ukraine estimated approximately 46,000 russian casualties, while russia recruited only around 30,000 soldiers.

New recruits receive very little training. Ukrainian forces have captured russian soldiers who had been in the army for less than two weeks. They are practically cannon fodder.

Ukraine has struck every russian oil refinery within 3,000 kilometers of its border, many of them multiple times. Russian oil production has fallen below 9 million barrels per day for the first time since 2009.

Russians now use smartphone apps to find gas stations that still have fuel. The National Welfare Fund has been redirected toward the military-industrial complex and is expected to run out by the end of the year.

It is time for Europe and the United States to seize frozen russian reserves and provide them to Ukraine.

We tend to assume that Ukrainians are far ahead in military innovation, just as we assume the United States leads in artificial intelligence. But when you look closely, the gap is not always that large. In some areas, the russians have developed capabilities before the Ukrainians.

China, North Korea, and Iran are carefully studying what is happening in Ukraine.

The West needs to learn from Ukraine much faster. Simply buying drones for existing tank units is not enough. We need to fundamentally rethink our military structures because many traditional Western weapons systems would no longer survive on the Ukrainian battlefield. And we need to do this immediately.

The Ukrainian people have demonstrated extraordinary resilience. They have been absolutely unbreakable despite enormous pressure. But they are also exhausted, and another difficult winter lies ahead.

🔥And just like that…

The S&P 500’s post-midterm rally was WIPED OUT.

The index PLUNGED roughly 3% in about an HOUR, falling below 7,470 and wiping out an estimated $2 TRILLION in market value from its intraday high.

In 2026, Russia is progressing 0.31 km² per 1,000 Russian casualties, which is worse than the British and French at the Somme.

So you're telling me that fluffing Putin and renaming things after yourself isn't a winning strategy for the electoral homestretch? I'm shocked😂🤣

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Trump was on the ballot tonight. The President had a 35% favorable rating and voters disliked his gas prices, chaos, tariffs, abusing allies and hugging Putin. No one in the WH is willing to speak truth to the President. The GOP wants the Party of Reagan and Lincoln back.

The President should be slamming Putin for these attacks and not on Ukraine’s attacks on Russia’s energy production that funds these war crimes.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Perhaps the most honest thing the Putin regime has has ever done!

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

A lack of spare parts for aircraft due to sanctions was a serious problem for Russia. Trump rushes to Putin’s rescue yet again, while Russia concedes nothing and continues to murder Ukrainian civilians.

[ian bremmer @ianbremmer]

white house no longer just ignoring russian hybrid activity against nato… now asking european allies to play nice w/ putin too.

what a shift in foreign policy priorities.

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Bad news for Russia.

The UK has announced over £10 billion package for Ukraine

The EU is preparing to cover its €70 billion funding gap.

Your negotiations with the US are irrelevant.

We will keep supporting Ukraine and crushing Russia’s economy.

Russia will be left crippled and surrounded by countries integrated into European defence structures.

Meet with American businessmen as much as you like.

It will change nothing.

China's 2008 is happening now.

Property investment in China dropped -21% YoY in the first 9 months of 2026, its largest decline for this period of the year on record.

This marks a deterioration from a -20% YoY decline in the first 8 months of 2026.

The latest drop is also significantly worse than the -16% decline recorded during the 2020 pandemic.

Property investment in China has now contracted every month since 2022, its longest declining streak on record.

For perspective, during the 2008 Financial Crisis, this figure never fell below +1% YoY growth.

China's property sector is experiencing a historic downturn.

🇨🇳 China’s AI market has entered a severe crash, with the tech-heavy STAR50 Index dropping 40% from its July high in less than four months.

The correction has wiped out roughly $480 billion in market value.

While Western tech stocks see only minor pullbacks, the collapse in China marks the burst of what fund managers call a “speculative crazy bull” market.
