APPLEBAUM: I live in Poland. I've lived here on and off for 30 years. I was here during period of NATO expansion.

I can tell you that NATO expanded because countries in this part of Europe felt physically threatened by Russia.

They asked to be part of NATO, they even had to beg and plead to be let in. Initially, United States was very reluctant.

NATO expansion was done all the way through with Russian participation and acknowledgment.

Initially, there was even a NATO-Russia partnership that was created.

There were constant attempts to show Russia that it was a defensive alliance and not an offensive one.

At one point, there were almost no American tanks left in Europe. There was no arming of countries in Eastern Europe, and that happened only after 2014.

So a lot of effort was made to create NATO as a security zone, as a zone of peace, and not focus it on some kind of attack on Russia.

For quite a long time, Putin accepted this. There have been recent releases of documents from '90s in which he doesn't talk about NATO, or complaining about NATO expansion.

That was a later argument he began to make down the road when he needed a casus belli, explanation for why he was invading Ukraine.

So, Russia successfully sold a very false story about the war being somehow provoked by NATO.

Trump on Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis: "If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious. I really don't feel sorry for him."

Let that sink in. A sitting president is asked about an old man with cancer, and his answer is to tell people not to feel sorry for him.

For us in Europe it is almost impossible to grasp that a country can turn this cold, this depraved. Not disagreeing with, but completely stripped of the simplest form of human decency. To deny a sick man even a single moment of compassion, just because he is a political opponent, is not tough or honest. It is just petty and vile.

And the worst part is not that one sentence. The worst part is that this has become the norm. Think of the children growing up over there right now, learning that this is how a leader speaks, that contempt is strength and that cruelty is something to applaud. That is how a culture rots from the inside, bit by bit, until it becomes normal.

This is not the American people. There are millions over there who are as ashamed as we are, who still have their decency intact. But they have a president who drags the whole nation through the mud, and the world is watching.

It should be beneath any human being to say something like that. That it comes from the man at the top only makes it more disturbing.

Newsom: "That $400 million Qatari plane? That's not a $400 million gift. It cost you $936 million. That was what was appropriated as he's cutting food stamps and cutting your Medicaid. He put a billion dollars in the Pentagon budget to retrofit his private plane because that's going with him after the presidency. That has happened on our watch ... this Board of Peace in the Middle East? That's so he can get a piece of the Middle East."

Das @AuswaertigesAmt hat mir schwarz auf weiß bestätigt, dass es sich selbst nicht an die Vorgaben des deutsch-russischen Abkommens zum Russischen Haus hält. Sonst wären wohl die unzähligen Sanktionenverletzungen zu offensichtlich geworden…

Klar ist @AussenMinDE muss diese Propaganda-Bude endlich schließen.

This really aired on Fox News, and you know Donald Trump saw it:

“Mr. Trump, you are the first president in American history to start and lose a war by yourself. You have made America more weak, more alone and less respected. Congress needs to take back the steering wheel from this impaired driver.”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: A massive report exposes that Trump purchased $100,000,000 in bonds tied to companies DIRECTLY impacted by his policies. That is slam dunk insider trading and is IMPEACHABLE.

Overall, Trump has made an estimated $3.4 BILLION in just one year and 6 months.

[Roman Sheremeta 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @rshereme]

We live in very strange times.

The oldest president in the US history is sleeping, while his Secretary of Health is shaking uncontrollably, all while pushing their conspiracies about vaccines.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Now this is funny. He even lies about his height and weight. One day I would love to see someone like Alan Ritchson come stand next to him. 😂😂

[AnatolijUkraine @AnatoliUkraine]

— Putin, why did you invade Ukraine?
— Because Ukraine doesn’t exist.
— Seriously?
— Lenin invented it.
— And that’s why you invaded it?
— Ukrainians and Russians are one people.
— So you’re saying the Ukrainian nation doesn’t exist?
— It doesn’t.
— Then who lives in Ukraine?
— Who else? Russians.
— Then why did you invade Ukraine if Russians live there?
— To denazify it.
— Denazify whom?
— Ukrainians.
— But you just said Ukrainians don’t exist.
— We wanted to protect Russian speakers.
— From whom?
— Who else? The Nazis.
— But you just said there are only Russians there!
— I don’t even know anymore. This is complete nonsense.
— So who exactly have you been fighting for almost five years?
— NATO.
— Is Ukraine a member of NATO?
— No.
— Then why do you claim you’re fighting NATO?
— Because NATO is fighting us through the Ukrainians.
— The Ukrainians who don’t exist?

[The Shallow State @OurShallowState]

I'm going to predict that when the damage assessment is complete, well into the future, Trump's greatest crime will prove to be espionage - AND - it will be the most catastrophic breach of national security in American history.
We will discover he passed secrets to Russia from day 1 because he was compromised; and did favors for the Saudis shortly after, purely for personal profit; and who knows what the hell else.
His many Useful Idiocies will boggle the mind. And his America First gaslight will be remembered as Trump BEFORE America. His treachery - some done for power and profit, and some purely for pathological reasons like paranoia, revenge, and contrarianism, will have massively impacted the globe, permanently shifted wealth, and cost many millions of lives.
And a good deal of it might not have happened but for our legacy media's widespread normalization of his disorders.

Die Drohne in Leipzig/Halle hat das Flugzeug getroffen. Gescheitert ist offenbar nicht der Angriff, sondern die Detonation.
Woher wir das wissen? Es gibt Videoaufnahmen vom Flughafen Leipzig/Halle.

Auf ihnen ist zu sehen, wie die mit Semtex bestückte Drohne am Dienstagabend gegen 19.30 Uhr direkt auf die parkende ukrainische Antonow zufliegt und auf einer Tragfläche einschlägt. Dort befinden sich in der Regel die Treibstofftanks. Die Drohne prallt ab und fällt zu Boden. Spuren am Flügel bestätigen den Ablauf. Warum der Sprengsatz nicht detonierte, ist bislang unklar.

Damit verändert sich die Bewertung des Vorfalls erheblich.

Carlo Masala hebt aus dem ZEIT-Bericht die entscheidende Stelle heraus: Bislang gehörte zu den Ermittlungshypothesen, dass die bewaffnete Drohne möglicherweise lediglich als Warnung gedacht gewesen sein könnte: bewaffnet, aber nicht mit der Absicht, tatsächlich zu explodieren. Diese Hypothese lässt sich nach den Videoaufnahmen kaum noch halten.

Genau das schreibt nun auch die ZEIT: Nach Auswertung der Aufnahmen habe sich die Drohne dem Flugzeug „mit der offensichtlichen Absicht, es zu beschädigen“ genähert. Der Flughafen sei einem verheerenden Anschlag nur knapp entgangen.

Und auch unsere hübsche Busfahrer-Geschichte von vergangener Woche bekommt ein Update: Der Mann hat die Drohne offenbar nicht zu Fall gebracht. Als er sie entdeckte, lag sie bereits am Boden. Er stellte seinen Fuß darauf und alarmierte das Sicherheitspersonal. Der Sprengsatz wurde zudem nicht direkt an der Drohne gefunden, sondern in einiger Entfernung. Möglicherweise hatte er sich beim Aufprall auf das Flugzeug gelöst.

Das heißt: Die Drohne hat ihr Ziel getroffen. Sie ist nicht explodiert.

Das ist ein erheblicher Unterschied.

Noch ist nicht geklärt, wer dahintersteckt. Die deutschen Ermittlungen haben bislang keinen eindeutigen Russland-Beleg ergeben. Die ZEIT schreibt aber, dass die Annahme eines staatlichen Akteurs inzwischen wahrscheinlicher geworden sei: Die Drohne war eine Spezialanfertigung, für gewöhnliche Radargeräte nicht erkennbar, der verwendete Semtex-Sprengstoff wird normalerweise militärisch genutzt und wäre nach Einschätzung der Ermittler wohl stark genug gewesen, die Maschine zur Explosion zu bringen.

Die US-Geheimdienste sind bei der Frage nach dem Auftraggeber offenbar schon weiter. Das Wall Street Journal berichtet unter Berufung auf US-Beamte, die mit den Geheimdienstberichten vertraut sind, die Sprengstoffdrohne gehöre wahrscheinlich der russischen Regierung. CNN zitiert einen amerikanischen Verteidigungsbeamten in Europa mit der Einschätzung, die Drohne werde einem russischen Geheimdienst zugerechnet

Die russische Botschaft in Berlin weist das zurück und beklagt eine neue Welle antirussischer Hysterie in Deutschland. Von einer Provokation ist die Rede, die den Interessen Kyjiws und des militaristischen Teils des europ��ischen Establishments diene. Das Dementi folgt damit exakt dem Muster, das man aus jedem vergleichbaren Fall der vergangenen Jahre kennt.

Damit haben wir Videoaufnahmen, die auf einen tatsächlichen Anschlagsversuch hindeuten. Wir haben eine US-Geheimdiensteinschätzung, die nach Moskau weist. Und wir haben einen deutschen Innenminister, der bislang von fremden Mächten spricht.

I don’t care what side of the aisle you’re on - if your position is that the president of the United States and his family should be immune from IRS scrutiny, you’re unqualified to be the Attorney General.

It’s an indictment on our entire system that 50 GOP Senators don’t agree.

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

Just wanna take a moment to acknowledge the 77 million Americans who looked at Trump performing this schtick repeatedly during the 2024 campaign and said “Yep, that’s my guy - he’s gonna stop World War 3!”

Take a victory lap, you stupid motherfuckers.

[Olga Lautman 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @OlgaNYC1211]

So this is very disturbing. A Russian outlet known for publishing info for Russia’s security services (FSB) wrote a whole article speculating Patel’s upcoming visit to Moscow before election. Everything from providing him w kompromat on Dems to him serving as a back channel. They even discussed what they could get in return. Hello Congress!! Anyone home??

[Phil Gordon @PhilGordonDC]

U.S. acceptance of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz is an extraordinary outcome only made conceivable by an administration that squandered legitimacy, alienated allies, attempted regime change in a war it had not adequately prepared for and that is being forced to accept a catastrophic outcome without viable alternatives.

Counterfactuals are impossible to prove but in other circumstances Iran's closure of Strait by brazenly attacking maritime traffic and neighbors' civilian infrastructure would likely have justified and led to a united, global response--like the U.S.-led naval escort mission during the Iran-Iraq war, the global coalition that reversed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1991, the multinational naval force enforcing UN sanctions in the Gulf in the 1990s, or the UN Security Council sanctions on the Iranian nuclear program in the 2010s--that led to the JCPOA.

Instead US and other countries are now being forced to accept an outcome that would have been unthinkable before the war but seems to have become unavoidable because of it.

[Kate from Kharkiv @BohuslavskaKate]

KASPAROV: Why can't NATO shoot down Russian missiles over Ukrainian territory? When Iran attacked Israel, the Americans, French, British shot down Iranian missiles. Why can one shoot down Iranian missiles flying at Israel but cannot shoot down Russian missiles flying at Ukraine?
