It’s not my intention to traumatize anyone, but I think this post is necessary…
The image below shows an innocent child who was just killed by Vladimir Putin’s missile strikes on Ukraine.
Keep this image in mind when you see U.S. President buddying up with Vladimir Putin.

In just 10 days, the Trump administration has:
- Struck a deal to buy Russian diesel and eased sanctions.
- Suspended the bipartisan Graham-Blumenthal Russia sanctions law, just weeks after signing it.
- Restricted Ukraine's access to Starshield satellite services.
- Suspended intelligence warnings about Russian missile launches targeting Ukraine for several days.
- Threatened to cut intelligence sharing unless Ukraine stopped striking Russian oil infrastructure.
- Pressured Ukraine to remove Zelenskyy from power.
- Downplayed Russia's and China's assistance to Iran in its war against the US, dismissing it as "very little."
- Proposed unfreezing Russian sovereign assets and placing some under US control.
- Pursued lucrative US-Russia business deals, including cooperation on data centres.
- Proposed that Europe resume buying Russian gas as part of a Ukraine peace deal
If Trump were actually a Russian agent, what exactly would he be doing differently?

The kindly-looking old man in this photograph was named Matviy Danyliuk.
He died long ago, back in 1994. But he lived a very long life, reaching the age of 103. For many years, he lived in a small village in Volyn, Ukraine, where everyone knew and loved him. Among the local men, he was known as an expert fisherman and hunter. He crafted ingenious fishing gear, had a large family, and was a devoutly religious man.
And, as his grandchildren recalled, he would sometimes wear a small yellow-and-blue ribbon around his wrist and jokingly greet people with the words "Slava Ukraini!" This greatly alarmed his wife, who was terrified that the Soviet authorities would arrest him.
All because, many decades earlier, on January 29-30, 1918, the young military cadet Danyliuk had fought in the Battle of Kruty, near a small railway station east of Kyiv.
There, units of the newly proclaimed Ukrainian People's Republic, made up largely of young military cadets, university students, and even schoolboys, clashed in a battle, amid thick fog, with Bolshevik forces advancing on Kyiv from Russia.
After the battle, the Reds executed around 30 Ukrainian students who had lost their way in the darkness and fog during the retreat and fallen into enemy hands. According to some accounts, they sang "Ukraine's glory and freedom have not yet perished..." in ragged unison as they were lined up before the firing squad.
The Battle of Kruty has since become famous, and the memory of the students who desperately tried to save Kyiv has been widely revived in recent decades. The battle itself has also become the subject of numerous legends.
But Matviy Danyliuk survived. He went on to become the last surviving veteran of the Ukrainian People's Republic's army, and the only participant in the Battle of Kruty to live long enough to see Ukraine regain its independence. Unlike many other veterans, he was fortunate enough to escape Soviet repression.
And twenty years after he died peacefully in his own bed -- in August 2014, his great-grandson, Volodymyr Ishchuk, was killed in the fighting near Ilovaisk against regular Russian troops who had invaded the Donbas without identifying insignia.
In my upcoming book, I devote an entire chapter to a literary reconstruction of the Battle of Kruty, drawing on as many authentic documentary details as possible and telling the story through the eyes of the young cadet Matviy Danyliuk in 1918: how university students and cadets, barely armed and scarcely equipped, fought to save Kyiv and the Ukrainian People's Republic as Lenin's Bolsheviks marched to drown it in blood.

🛰 🇷🇺 🇫🇮 Specialists tracking this in real time now have harder numbers than "a close pass." Orbital Radar's latest computation puts the closest approach at roughly 26 meters, with earlier passes logged at 136 meters and 578 meters as Kosmos 2612 tightened its formation over multiple orbits, each pass occurring at essentially zero relative velocity, meaning the Russian satellite wasn't drifting past ICEYE-X36, it was flying in matched formation with it.
The deliberateness is no longer a matter of interpretation. Kosmos 2612 launched as part of a six-satellite cluster, Cosmos 2609 through 2614, and it is the only one of the six that has maneuvered at all. LeoLabs, the commercial tracking firm, said in a statement the movement "appears to be a deliberate approach toward" the US-owned satellite. CSIS researchers documented a two-week maneuver sequence beginning September 30 that brought Kosmos 2612 into coplanar alignment and matched altitude with ICEYE-X36, exactly the kind of orbital mechanics work that doesn't happen by accident. Dutch tracker Marco Langbroek, whose data anchors most of this reporting, called it bluntly: "an RPO without consent," rendezvous and proximity operations conducted without the target satellite's cooperation or clearance.
What makes the target non-arbitrary is who relies on it. ICEYE-X36 is a Finnish-built, US-registered radar imaging satellite, and Poland's own military has flagged direct alarm because its forces use ICEYE intelligence to identify targets inside Russia. A Ukrainian official told Axios the military works with ICEYE's capabilities, though it's unconfirmed whether this specific satellite supports Ukrainian operations directly. Either way, the pattern read by trackers across multiple countries is the same: a Russian military asset spent three weeks deliberately burning fuel and adjusting its orbital plane, altitude and eccentricity to shadow, at zero relative velocity and within tens of meters, exactly the kind of Western-linked space asset Russia would want to understand, disable, or demonstrate it can reach.
No tracker has found evidence Kosmos 2612 carries a destructive payload or that it struck ICEYE-X36. What's established instead is a precedent: Russia has now shown the technical willingness and capability to maneuver a military satellite into near-contact proximity with a commercial asset tied to Ukrainian and Polish defense intelligence, holding formation close enough that the only remaining open questions are what Moscow intended and whether the target satellite still functions exactly as it did before.

NEW: Ukraine’s ability to use SpaceX’s low-earth orbit satellite communication technology (Starlink and Starshield) to intercept Russian jet-powered drones remains unclear as of October 18.
Other Key Takeaways:
Ukrainian forces conducted their largest strike against Russian digital, energy, and logistics infrastructure in St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast since 2022, overnight on October 17 to 18.
Russia continues to expand kinetic actions in Europe that are likely intended to disrupt Western assistance to Ukraine and test NATO resolve.
ISW has observed additional evidence corroborating information about the recent restructuring of the 4th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade into the 84th Motorized Rifle Division (3rd Combined Arms Army, Southern Military District).
Russia launched 337 drones and one Iskander-M ballistic missile against Ukraine during the day on October 17 and overnight on October 17 to 18.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced in northern Sumy Oblast.

NEW: The Houthis downed a Saudi light attack helicopter over Saudi Arabian airspace that was likely providing close air support (CAS) or conducting reconnaissance in nearby al Jawf Governorate, Yemen, amid ongoing fighting between Yemeni government-aligned forces and Houthi forces there.
Other Key Takeaways:
Houthi forces continued to try to make advances on the western and southern outskirts of Taiz City on October 17 and 18.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreed to resume salary payments for unspecified Yemeni government-aligned forces fighting the Houthis, according to Yemeni sources cited by UK media on October 17.
The reported Saudi-UAE deal likely involves the UAE funding and Saudi Arabia providing air support to the Southern Giants Brigades, which is a Yemeni government-aligned military faction that the UAE helped establish in 2016 and is one of the main Yemeni government-aligned forces that are fighting in the current conflict against the Houthis.
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi announced on October 18 that Egypt will provide defensive military aid to Saudi Arabia if Saudi Arabia requests support.

A brutal and desperate modern slave-trade operation has just been exposed inside Russia’s second-largest city.
In St. Petersburg, state security forces are actively conducting aggressive, large-scale raids targeting migrant workers. However, this is not a legal crackdown - it is a forced mobilization trap. Russian law enforcement is intentionally targeting vulnerable workers with minor document issues, trapping them in detention, and systematically coercing them to sign military contracts for the war.
This cannibalistic tactic reveals that the Kremlin has drastically depleted its volunteer manpower and is now turning to state-sponsored extortion to fill its ranks. By abusing the defenseless legal status of foreign workers, the regime is actively harvesting cheap cannon fodder to be immediately thrown into suicidal "meat wave" assaults on the frontlines.
This horrific domestic reality shatters Moscow's hypocritical propaganda of global brotherhood, exposing modern Russia as nothing more than a desperate, totalitarian mafia state that hunts down human beings on its streets just to sustain its failing imperial slaughter

🚨 DEUTSCHLANDS VERGESSENE GEISEL: Erst stoppte Berlin ihre Rettung – dann verschwand Sonja Nientiet im Schweigen dreier Außenminister!
Am 3. Mai 2018 wird die deutsche Krankenschwester Sonja Nientiet in Mogadischu entführt. Sie ist nicht zum Urlaub in Somalia. Sie arbeitet dort für das Internationale Komitee vom Roten Kreuz, bildet Menschen in Erster Hilfe aus und hilft ausgerechnet dort, wo Gewalt, Terror und Elend zum Alltag gehören.
Ein Wachmann, der sie eigentlich beschützen sollte, soll den Entführern geholfen haben. Sonja wird aus dem Gebäude gezerrt und verschleppt. Ein ebenfalls entführter kenianischer Kollege kann entkommen. Sonja nicht.
Seitdem ist sie in der Gewalt mutmaßlicher Dschihadisten.
Acht Jahre. Acht Jahre ohne Freiheit. Acht Jahre Angst. Acht Jahre, in denen deutsche Regierungen wechselten, Minister kamen und gingen – während Sonja Nientiet in Somalia zurückblieb.
Doch das eigentlich Unfassbare kommt erst noch:
Nach einem Bericht der „Bild“ gelang es dem Bundesnachrichtendienst etwa zwei Jahre nach der Entführung, Sonjas Aufenthaltsort zu ermitteln. Eine Befreiungsaktion wurde vorbereitet. Das Kommando Spezialkräfte trainierte für den Zugriff. Amerikanische Dienste lieferten Aufklärungsinformationen, die USA wollten geeignete Black-Hawk-Hubschrauber bereitstellen. Selbst der damalige KSK-Kommandeur soll zur Erkundung nach Mogadischu gereist sein.
Die Rettung schien zum Greifen nah.
Dann stoppte der damalige Außenminister Heiko Maas (SPD) laut diesem Bericht die Operation. Seine Begründung: Die Aktion könne in einem Blutbad enden und Sonja oder beteiligte Soldaten das Leben kosten.
Das Risiko war zweifellos gewaltig. Aber ebenso gewaltig waren die Folgen dieser Entscheidung: Die Rettung fand nicht statt. Sonja blieb bei ihren Entführern. Die Spur verlor sich.
Dann kam Annalena Baerbock ins Auswärtige Amt. Wieder vergingen Jahre. Es gab keine Befreiung, keinen öffentlich erkennbaren Durchbruch und keine Antwort darauf, wann Sonja endlich nach Hause kommt.
2024 starb Sonjas Mutter Christel im Alter von 84 Jahren. Sie hatte jahrelang auf die Rückkehr ihrer Tochter gehofft. Sie starb, ohne zu wissen, ob Sonja überhaupt noch lebte.
Im Frühjahr 2025 dann das erschütternde Lebenszeichen: Sonja sitzt in einem schwarzen Tschador vor der Kamera, sichtbar gezeichnet. Ihre Gesundheit habe sich verschlechtert. Nur die Hoffnung, ihre Liebsten wiederzusehen, halte sie am Leben. Unter Tränen bittet sie die Bundesregierung um Hilfe.
Doch ihre Mutter konnte sie nicht mehr wiedersehen.
Seit dem 6. Mai 2025 heißt der verantwortliche Außenminister Johann Wadephul (CDU). Auch unter ihm ist Sonja nicht nach Hause gekommen. Noch im Juni 2026 verweigerte die Bundesregierung im Bundestag jede konkrete Auskunft zu ihrem Gesundheitszustand, ihrem Aufenthaltsort oder zu neuen Initiativen für ihre Freilassung. Man äußere sich grundsätzlich nicht zu Entführungsfällen.
Bis heute bleibt nur diese erschütternde Bilanz:
Heiko Maas ließ die vorbereitete Rettungsaktion stoppen.
Annalena Baerbock brachte Sonja nicht zurück.
Und Johann Wadephul hat bislang ebenfalls keinen sichtbaren Mühen erkennen die Krankenschwester heim zu holen.
Darum muss die Frage jetzt lauter werden:
Herr Wadephul, was tun Sie konkret, um Sonja Nientiet lebend nach Deutschland zurückzuholen?

A catastrophic blast at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, Alberta has reportedly resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries during a live fire military training operation.
According to local sources on base, Canadian Forces personnel had been conducting exercises over several days when an artillery projectile reportedly struck an active natural gas well on the bombing range, triggering a massive detonation.
The blast is said to have levelled nearby tactical training buildings, with subsequent fires reaching munitions storage and setting off secondary detonations across the range.
The geography and infrastructure;
➟ CFB Wainwright has a documented history of natural gas production, with approximately 180 wells reported on the military property in 2014.
➟ Military range maps identify munitions storage, pipelines and designated live fire danger areas near Peterson Pond.
➟ NASA FIRMS satellite imagery recorded multiple thermal hotspots between Peterson Pond and Jamieson Lake on October 17.
Local accounts also describe hospitals activating Code Orange protocols, mobilizing stretchers and preparing for a significant influx of casualties.
The reported gas well strike, secondary detonations and hospital emergency measures remain unconfirmed as authorities investigate the incident.
Should these reports be confirmed, my thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved and affected.

At least seven people were killed and dozens more injured in today’s explosion and resulting fire at CFB Wainwright in Alberta, possibly resulting from a live-fire training exercise which struck a gas line or gas well on the base causing an explosion, Canadian military sources tell Global News.

26 people were watching a volcanic eruption in Indonesia. 23 were killed, and only 3 survived.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video shows hikers near Volcán de Fuego in Guatemala during an eruption where everyone survived safely. It is unrelated to the 2023 Mount Marapi disaster in Indonesia that killed 23 of ~75 hikers.
