๐Ÿ‡ญ๐Ÿ‡บ Hungary's PM Mihรกly Magyar accuses his predecessor Orbรกn of plotting a coup, threatens a life sentence. The trigger: Orbรกn's own comment that opposition supporters should be ready for "national resistance," distributing "tools, some blunter, some sharper." Orbรกn had just announced his return to political combat against Magyar's government. Threatening tools to your own opposition isn't resistance rhetoric, it's a line most democracies don't cross casually.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ 300 Russian occupants eliminated, 416 enemy drones shot down in one day. Full tally: 1,923 targets hit, 107 enemy crew antennas destroyed, 12 warehouses gone. October total now past 38,700, with nearly 9,550 personnel hit this month alone. Another day, another record chipped away at Russia's replacement pipeline.

๐Ÿ’ Russia stays locked out of the 2027 Ice Hockey World Championship, no change after years of asking. Sports federations keep extending the same answer, you don't get to play nice with the world while bombing a neighbor. Russia's own state propaganda treats sports victories as political wins, so losing this one stings exactly where it's supposed to.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ Putin, Trump, and Xi might meet, Peskov tells WSJ, but there's nothing concrete yet, no agreed format, no agenda, just an acknowledgment it could happen. He earlier floated the APEC summit in Shenzhen, November 18-19, as a possible venue. Nothing locked in. Just talk about talking, again.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท He flew in just for the riot. Filmed himself in Paris, then told his UK followers to bring the same chaos to London. A livestream calling for coordinated unrest across two capitals, not a local protest anymore.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Masked French officers just pulled people off the streets of Paris, and some of them are naming names on camera. Plainclothes security forces caught the moment live, detainees reportedly identifying which groups and countries gave the orders behind the unrest. Still unconfirmed officially, but if this holds up, it changes the entire story of what just happened in France.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท Plainclothes French security forces caught on camera carrying out detentions across Paris and other cities. Footage shows them working to identify who's behind the coordinated unrest, with some detainees reportedly naming the groups and countries directing them. Still unconfirmed by French authorities officially, worth watching how this develops.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ "It's my duty," Zelensky says he'd run again if elections happen during wartime. "If Trump and Putin genuinely want me to hold elections, give us at least 60 days of ceasefire with no extra negotiations attached. We'll do everything to change the law and build the infrastructure needed." His condition: soldiers on the front must get to vote too. "We need an honest choice. Our soldiers are defending the country, they deserve a say."

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท "How could French people do this to France?" Macron's emergency address after two days of riots. "Why burn Limoges' town hall, Lyon's tourist office, storm Marseille's city hall, attack the prefect's residence in Bordeaux? Nothing justifies this, it's unexplainable, unforgivable. Tonight we all feel anger and shame." He promised every looter would face punishment. No amnesty this time.

Anger and shame from the president. Still no answer for why it took two days of burning city halls to get one.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Day 1697: Petersburg's own refinery, VK's data center, and its biggest oil depot all hit in one night. Pulkovo and Moscow airports collapsed from drone activity. Odesa and Dnipro residential blocks took hits too, casualties reported. Zelensky confirmed US intel sharing is back. Russia's sabotage campaign across Europe keeps expanding. Meanwhile across the US, mass protests hit the streets against Trump's policies.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ฑ "Poland won't repeat other countries' mistakes, and won't pay for them." Tusk's blunt response to France's riots. He says Poland runs its own asylum policy and deports anyone breaking Polish law. "On security, we will be unyielding." The footage behind his statement: France burning, a "day of anger" that turned entire city blocks into something closer to a warzone.
๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น 550,000 to 800,000 marched peacefully in France, but the chaos stole the headlines. Limoges' city hall burned to the ground. Marseille, Lille, Angers, Bordeaux all had their mayors' offices stormed. 1,200 arrested, 150 police wounded. "Those who smashed, attacked prefectures and shops, looted our own town halls, will be prosecuted," Macron warned. The chaos spread to Italy too, barricades burning at Milan's Duomo, tear gas and water cannons deployed. Turin, Bologna, and Bergamo saw clashes too. Over 50 arrested, half of them minors.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ "Just give us back Starlink," Zelensky says bluntly to the US. "We won't stop defending ourselves even without it. But why? I can't understand the reasoning behind limiting us, not letting us defend ourselves. I assume it's a mistake." Three weeks of restrictions, and even Zelensky is left guessing why.

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Zelensky confirms US intelligence sharing has resumed after being blocked "for a certain period of time." He's hoping for talks with the US this week. Quietly restored, no explanation given for why it stopped in the first place.

๐Ÿ‡ฑ๐Ÿ‡น Someone tried to torch a company storing Starlink equipment in Lithuania, PM Sinkeviฤius confirms, failed arson, the firm was tipped off in advance and had security ready. Separately, drone wreckage found in Juodลพionys village, crossed into Lithuanian airspace from Poland, not shot down, landed in an unpopulated area. Police investigating. Starlink infrastructure keeps getting targeted across NATO territory, Poland, Bulgaria, now Lithuania too.
