Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."

A friend suggested @BrankoMilan might be paid to write stuff like this, but knowing the consistency of his thoughts, I strongly disagree. Mr. Milanović is a useful idiot for free. No need to pay him for being who he is.
It is a strange world.
Because 5.7 million people live in three small Baltic countries (whose total size is less than a Chinese Tier II city). and whose half of the population lives in Europe, and another third are Russians who cannot get citizenship, and because they have traumas and bad memories of the Soviet rule, the entire world of 8 billion people should go into a nuclear apocalypse and die.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Baltic countries lie entirely in Europe. Non-citizens comprise ~9% of Latvia's population, ~4-5% of Estonia's and near zero in Lithuania—not one third—while ethnic Russians total ~14% overall (most with citizenship).

I just cast my ballot for James Talarico.
As a second-generation Indian American, I am thoroughly disgusted by the xenophobia, racial resentment, and increasingly brazen attacks on my identity. My family has contributed to the American story through hard work, sacrifice, and an unwavering belief in the opportunities this nation promises. I am every bit as American as anyone else, and I will not tolerate being treated as a perpetual foreigner in the country I call home.
I implore every eligible Texan to get out and vote. This election is about the kind of state and country we are prepared to defend—and the principles we refuse to surrender.

🇺🇦 Who ordered the suspension of Starlink in Ukraine?
🇺🇸 Trump: I don't know who it was, but I would like to know.

As Trump continues to bend to Putin, he is putting Ukraine at greater risk in its fight for freedom by restricting access to the technology Ukraine uses to intercept Russian missile attacks, putting untold Ukrainian lives at risk and undermining Ukraine’s ability to defend itself.
We are demanding answers from SpaceX about who ordered these restrictions and why.

A baby girl was killed in her stroller today by a Russian drone strike in Nova Vodolaha, Kharkiv Region. Her name was Anhelina. Her mother died as well.
An absolutely barbaric strike on a park full of families with children.
6 people have been confirmed killed so far, including other children.

The Administration should not waive sanctions passed by Congress to punish Russia for its brutal war of choice in Ukraine.
I agree with the President that ending this war is in the US’s national interest, but we should exercise American power to pressure Russia to stop fighting, rather than buy their oil and hold our Ukrainian allies back from using their full combat potential.

The Elizabeth Holmes of economics
Aidan Toner-Rodgers (infamous for being kicked out of the MIT economics PhD program for a fraudulent AI paper (which was R&R QJE & then pulled)) now has another paper retracted, this time from the Journal of Development Economics. Retraction notice here: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
Republicans threaten to block $350 billion in Pentagon funding unless Trump takes a tougher stance on Russia
The dispute was triggered by the Trump-Putin deal on diesel imports, as well as restrictions on Ukraine’s use of satellite systems.
Some Republicans are demanding that sanctions against Russia be reinstated and restrictions on Kyiv be lifted, The Hillreports.
Congressman Don Bacon said that unless the administration changes course, Republicans will refuse to support Trump’s legislative agenda for the remainder of the congressional session.
Republican congressman threatens sanctions against US agencies over Starshield restrictions in Ukraine
US Representative Brian Fitzpatrick said he would push for an investigation into restrictions on the Starshield satellite system in Ukraine.
He said those responsible could face public congressional hearings and budget cuts for the agencies involved.
Fitzpatrick pledged to discuss military aid for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia with Volodymyr Zelensky.
He also urged the US to provide Kyiv with the weapons it needs, completely phase out Russian oil and tighten sanctions against Moscow.
According to the congressman, these measures would receive broad support in the House of Representatives.

Follow @JohnCarreyrou and read his book. It’s context you need to even begin to comprehend this movie.
I'll be appearing on the @nytimes's Hark Fork podcast again this week, this time to answer viewers' questions about the film and the whole Elizabeth Holmes saga. If you want to ask one, please post it here: nytimes.com/2026/10/16/podca…

Russia struck a park near a cafe in the Kharkiv region with an attack drone, killing at least six people, including a girl barely over a year old and an 11-year-old child, and injuring 15 others, among them seven children. Families who had come to spend time together became the targets of another Russian brutal attack.
The deliberate use of attack drones against places where civilians gather exposes the nature of Russia’s warfare and the threat it poses far beyond Ukraine. The same technologies, components and networks that enable these attacks are part of a Russian military system that continues to adapt, expand production and exploit gaps in international restrictions. Allowing those supply chains to function means allowing Moscow to prepare its next strikes and kill civilians.
We urge our partners to intensify efforts to identify and disrupt the networks supplying Russia’s drone industry, tighten sanctions, enforce export controls against circumvention, and pursue accountability for those responsible for attacks on civilians. At the same time, Ukraine needs faster deliveries of interceptors to prevent further tragedies. The most effective response to this atrocity is to make the next Russian drone harder to build, harder to launch, and easier for Ukraine to destroy.

One-year-old Angelina, born in August 2025, died right in her stroller. Her mother, Inna, passed away in the hospital.
What were they guilty of? Why does the US President support this russian evil?

This is a dead child in Ukraine this morning.
It’s very possible this child would be alive today if Ukraine wasn’t cut off from Starlink and US intelligence, formerly used to track Russian missiles and drones.
F-ck Trump.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.
