Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for. Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China. We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Putin si è accorto che Trump potrebbe perdere la maggioranza al Congresso. Ha tempo fino a gennaio per usare il suo asset liberamente. Poi diventa più complicato.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has proposed that he, President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping meet next month to attempt to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine that would favor Moscow, said people familiar with the discussions. on.wsj.com/4BeZLqz

+++ Vincenzo Lorusso, il promotore della petizione contro Sergio Mattarella, ha ottenuto la cittadinanza russa. +++
Intanto Vladimir Putin ha concesso la cittadinanza russa al giornalista Vincenzo Lorusso. Che commenta così: «Questa è la mia bandiera, questa è la mia Patria, sono orgoglio di essere russo». Quanti altri colleghi lo seguiranno?

מה שקורה ביו״ש זה טרור יהודי בחסות ממשלת ישראל. פעם נוספת, בתוך יממה אחת בלבד, חוליות של פורעי חוק אלימים תוקפות אזרחים זרים - והפעם דיפלומטים ובעלי תפקידים רשמיים. מול עינינו מתרחש פיגוע מדיני וביטחוני חסר תקדים. קומץ עבריינים שורף את מעט הלגיטימציה שנותרה למדינת ישראל, מסכן את כוחות הביטחון ופוגע בהתיישבות ביהודה ושומרון ובביטחון הלאומי. אף אחד בהנהגה לא יוכל לטעון שלא העירו אותו בזמן ושלא התריעו בפניו.

EXCLUSIVE: Elon Musk came to Donald Trump with the plan to throttle Ukraine’s use of SpaceX’s Starshield satellite internet network, sources have told the Telegraph. The tech billionaire made the proposal during the US President’s row with Volodymyr Zelensky over strikes on Russian oil refineries. ‘The reality is that they were both in it,’ a senior source said of Musk’s and Trump’s involvement. But after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, Musk was alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe. The SpaceX boss then proceeded to tweet, blaming the US administration, and ultimately, President Trump for authorising the slowdown. ‘He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it,’ the source said.

RT @yarotrof Trump: We are running low on ammo not because of my war on Iran but because Biden gave “massive amounts” of Tomahawks to Ukraine. ↓ The U.S. didn’t supply a single Tomahawk to Ukraine. ⬇️ RT @carbac80 Biden gave Ukraine zero Tomahawks - no transfer ever happened. The US-supplied missile Ukraine got was ATACMS, a different, shorter-range weapon. Meanwhile the US has fired close to 1,000 Tomahawks since mid-2025, mostly against Iran, burning through a stockpile of only ~3,100 while producing just ~90 per year. The shortage comes from the Iran war, not Ukraine.

Su Rep, @il_cappellini Nessuno però sa trarre la conclusione inevitabile da tutte queste osservazioni della realtà: si pretende un’alleanza tra due partiti (e due idee) che sono nei fatti avversari. (e che stavolta non è nemmeno giustificata da speranze di vittoria)

Ieri Bending Spoons, la società italiana quotata a NY è rimbalzata del 40% su notizie di utili della trimestrale come ho spiegato 3 mesi fa è un occasione al ribasso, perchè perdono soldi in modo cronico e hanno però comprato 20 società, quasi tutte in perdita, in cui licenziano tutti
"Bending Spoons di fatto fa il mestiere di un private equity travestito da holding, usando la leva per fare aggregazione e rendere AI native i brand decotti che comprano": lThomas Avolio di RedFish Capital spiega perché gli piace l'approccio dell'unicorno italiano che ieri è balzato del 40% a Wall Street dopo che la Berkshire Hathaway di Warren Buffett ha rivelato un investimento di 930 milioni di euro.

Superb achievement. The strikes on Yandex make X a better and safer place. Let's finish the job! Something that I also witness in real time: the russian bots on my TL have dramatically decreased.
Ukraine hits another Yandex data center in Russia and Cloudflare data shows Russian bot traffic dropping dramatically. Might have an impact right before the November elections.

You know, the activity of Russian bots here really does seem to have dropped noticeably... Looks like those healing drone strikes on Yandex's Russian data centers have given Putin's most die-hard fans a few extra days off.

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

On this day 20 years ago, Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in Moscow, on Vladimir Putin’s 54th birthday. She had spent years reporting on Putin’s Russia and exposing the atrocities committed during the Second Russian-Chechen War. Dozens of journalists have been killed for their work during Putin’s rule, while more than 1,500 Russian journalists have been forced into exile since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine alone.

Trump: The US does not currently believe the plague outbreak in Russia is a biological weapon “We’ll know for sure soon, but at this point we don’t think so,” he said. According to Trump, Moscow claims the situation is under control.

Or: all of these things
Experts have speculated the data collected by the White House app could be used to push campaign messaging onto users, or to report them to ICE or the Secret Service. Some think it could be used to make money. washingtonsun.com/whitehouse…

There we have it. You can completely ignore what she said to @mehdirhasan & his pathetic attempt to whitewash her positions. Francesca Albanese is explicitly opposed to arming Ukraine. She said it repeatedly and clarified why she thinks that. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.
L’intervista completa di Francesca Albanese a OPEN – quella in cui dice di essere contro l’invio di armi all’Ucraina – è persino peggio della clip già uscita. Mentana le fa notare che senza armi l’Ucraina capitola, la Russia vince e si crea un precedente pericoloso. Lei risponde che quel precedente «lo hanno già creato gli Stati Uniti». Non è vero. Ma anche se lo fosse? Andrebbe bene lasciare che l’Ucraina capitoli?? Poi, quando le viene ricordato che gli Alleati armarono i partigiani italiani contro l’invasore, replica: «Allora diamo le armi ai palestinesi». Non ho davvero parole. Infine insinua che le armi all’Ucraina non servano semplicemente a difenderla dalla Russia, ma che la guerra serva a destabilizzare l’Europa – ovviamente per mano di USA e NATO. L’aggressore è russo. Ma alla fine la responsabilità torna sempre altrove. E tutto questo non mi sorprende. Basta guardare chi frequenta, e con loro cosa sta organizzando a livello «transnazionale». Queste posizioni diventeranno sempre più esplicite. Nei prossimi giorni vedremo perché.
