A shocking video of the aftermath of the attack on Lukyanivka in Kyiv has been published online. Horror and pain. Perpetrator: Russia.

UK universities cut jobs, research and teaching amid squeeze in overseas students ‘Very sharp downturn’ in enrolments risks hitting economic innovation and academic pipeline, lobby group says Way to go

🔴 Zelenskyy does not hold back, condemning Russian attacks on civilians. “They saw this museum. They attacked the museum. Just crazy a*sholes. That's it."

💥 Ukraine's Azov Corps drones are wiping out Russian resupplies before they can even reach occupied Mariupol which is located just 50km from the border with Russia. The main highway continues all the way to occupied Crimea.

Russia has fired two "Oreshnik" missiles at Ukraine; however, the second one struck a target within its own territory (TOT) in the Avdiivka or Yasynuvata area – eRadar. In other words: 1 "super missile" destroyed 3 garages. 1 "super missile" struck Russian troops. Cost: approx. 80 million dollars. A complete success for the Russians. 😂😂😂

Exactly like that. FREE THE WORLD.

The ramp up of cancer immunotherapy is remarkable. Now we're seeing vaccines achieve some cures or remissions in the most refractory cancers: pancreatic, melanoma, glioblastoma, renal, triple-negative breast cancer. ✓ out the new Ground Truths (link in profile)

PETRAEUS: I'm trying to draw attention of Congress to fact that we haven't remotely learned lessons from war in Ukraine. That's future of war: Ukraine alone using 10,000 drones a day, 90% of Russian casualties caused by drones, armored vehicles no longer survive on battlefield.

@HeidiBachram Pretty obvious the man has physiological issues.

One of the Irish Flotilla arrived in Dublin holding an Islamic Republic of Iran flag and calling the ‘Axis of Resistance’ “heroes”. These ppl aren’t humanitarians. They’re propaganda puppets for terrorists and murderous regimes.

@MeanwhileInUA @ajboekestijn Actually we have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine. Another good theory is that he and friends looted Russia so much they needed to divert attention to a foreign war to cover the underlying economic misery of the country.

Putin didn't invade Ukraine because of NATO. He invaded because Ukrainians were proving democracy works. Historian and Pulitzer Prize winner Anne Applebaum puts it plainly: Putin looked at Ukraine's democratic movement and thought, "If they can do it in Ukraine, then people could do it in Russia. So I need to crush this." That's the real threat Ukraine posed. Not missiles. Not borders. A working democracy next door. Applebaum frames the war as a fault line between the democratic and autocratic worlds. Russia isn't just trying to take territory. It's trying to erase Ukraine as a nation, reduce it to a colony, and send a message to every country that the post-1945 rules of Europe no longer apply. Those rules were simple: no invasions, no wars, borders don't change by force. Russia understood exactly what it was breaking when it crossed into Ukraine.

Rubio says that US-led peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine "were not fruitful." Not fruitful? ​Let’s look at the facts: your negotiators visited Russia seven times, and Ukraine zero times. You demanded concessions from Ukraine before negotiations even began, and throughout the entire process. You pressured Ukraine by cutting off weapons support entirely, constantly badmouthing us, and showing up at our doorstep waving Russian "peace plan" you demanded we sign immediately. ​And now, after Ukraine stands more firmly on its feet without your support, you realize you can't pressure us anymore. So your excuse is that you are tired and leaving? ​How about, for once, you actually support the victim, which is Ukraine instead of terrorist Russian regime? Send your team to Kyiv, support our fight, and apply real pressure on aggressor. Sanction Russia and seize their shadow fleet instead of handing out sanction waivers. Do that, and maybe negotiations will magically become "fruitful."

IN plain English: we’re going to send a ton of money to the warmongering Kremlin regime for fuel while refusing further exploitation of our own oil and gas in the North Sea. Brilliant.

@simongerman600 An excess of young men leads to war

Another brutal take on China's One Child Policy. Once ultrasounds became available, millions of people aborted female fetuses. The male/female sex ratio at birth skyrocketed from the normal ~1.06 to 1.18. China alone raised the whole world's sex ratio more than 2 points in the early 2000s. Pure madness.

In 2022 Rheinmetall produced 70,000 artillery shells per year. Today it produces 1.1 million. By 2027 it targets 1.5 million. One European company now manufactures more 155mm ammunition than the entire US defense industry combined (which produced 600,000 shells in 2024). NATO Secretary General Rutte: European artillery production has increased sixfold in two years. The Werk Niedersachsen plant that opened in August 2025 will reach 350,000 shells per year alone, the largest single ammunition facility in Europe. Combined output from EU + UK + Ukraine in 2026 is projected at 2.8 to 3 million shells annually. That matches or exceeds Russia's wartime output. EU defense spending climbed from €218B in 2021 to €381B in 2025. Germany alone went from €47B in 2021 to a planned €162B by 2029, 3.2% of GDP. 17 EU member states have activated the national escape clause for additional defense spending flexibility. The continent that policy commentators wrote off as militarily flaccid is finishing the most rapid industrial mobilization the West has seen since the Cold War.

De "activisten" zijn aangekomen in Istanbul. Ze zien er inderdaad uit alsof ze vreselijk gemarteld zijn, ondervoed, verkracht door honden, in elkaar geslagen en bijna-bijna-bijna vermoord. De massapsychose is compleet.

For three years, there were more job openings than unemployed workers — at peak, 2 jobs per job-seeker.

That has now flipped under Trump, and unemployed workers outnumber available jobs for the first time since the pandemic. My @Morning_Joe Chart:

Awesome! Moments when an eagle snatches a fish heavier than itself from the water and soars into the sky, flapping its wings.
