Interested in international politics and the world in general. I’m a liberal conservative, or as they say in the US a flaming socialist borderline communist.
If only doctors had known of this "surprising little trick that might save you" during the bubonic plagues.
For years Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been pushing the notion that germ theory is overrated. Now other HHS officials are picking up that argument. Katherine J. Wu reports:

The agency is picking up Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s argument that a healthy immune system can keep even pandemic germs at bay.

Trump seems to be the modern day Midas, every policy he touches turns into gold.

Literally
Trump is ready to sign new sanctions against Russia, but only if he retains final say over their implementation. According to Reuters, the White House wants language in the bill that gives Trump the authority to approve or override any measure.

The shadow war is stepping ever closer to the edge of the shadow…
What’s next?
The railway Warsaw - Lublin has been attacked with both explosives and sabotage.

"unprecedented act of sabotage targeting directly the security of the Polish state and its civilians. This route is also crucially important for delivering aid to Ukraine" says Polish PM Donald Tusk.

Good summary of the sector where the Russian-Ukrainian war is dynamic, the respective bombing campaigns.
THE EBB AND FLOW OF THE STRATEGIC DRONE WAR TURNS FOR UKRAINE

We have no idea how long this war will last. Ukraine is prepared for at least another three years, Russia thinks it can conquer the whole country.
Yet the key driver of this war has turned out to be the strategic drone war.

What is ICE going to do when everyone dresses up like ICE for Halloween? Treat or Deportation?
Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

I’m beginning to believe that Trump believes war is by consent. Like «Let’s have a war»

This explains why he’s so upset with Ukraine. «Why did you agree to have a war with Russia?»

Much easier just killing people without the pretext of war? what?
Trump: I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.

Australian decision to go with Japanese is strike two for the US naval capacity. Earlier this fall the Norwegians chose UK over US and France.

With this it becomes very clear what this is. Flashing lights? You really want to make sure people see you in their airspace.
Swedish authorities say a large drone was observed over Karlskrona’s eastern archipelago flashing red and green lights. Police confirmed sightings near Möcklösundsbron
The drone is said to resemble those seen in Denmark and Norway.

Who knew the antifa had such resources. I'm sure Patel will have a report ready in a second.
This is a picture of the cellphone cache they found in NYC and holy shit. All of those little chiclets in the rack cases are SIM cards; apparently the rig could send 30 million anonymous texts per minute

This is the best take. MAGAists? Is this the grand strategy? Capacity building before iCE makes the move?

American intelligence is apparently active in Greenland, among other activities making lists of persons positive or negative to the Trump regime. Denmark has called in the US chargé d'affaires to get an explanation. www.dr.dk/nyheder/indl...

I expect this is what he believes about rape victims too.
🙄 Trump: Zelensky is not exactly innocent either. It takes two people to tango.

❗️Trump said the US could impose sanctions and tariffs against Ukraine as well, not only on Russia.
