Getty Images has filed for bankruptcy amid competition from AI-generated images and mounting debt
The 30-year-old visual content giant collapsed under a $2.1 billion debt load as AI imagery rapidly eroded demand for traditional stock photography.

This is why the Administration has practically zero credibility regarding Russia… domestically and internationally.

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why aren’t you putting Russian sanctions—
Collins: But you said you didn’t give anything for his release
Trump: If I didn’t do that, you wouldn’t have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You don’t know anything. You’re fake news CNN.
Collins: You’re saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a low IQ person. You’re a dummy.

Exhausted and injured jaguar rescued by Brazilian soldiers in Rio Negro, near Manaus.
Once in a lifetime opportunity…petting a wild jaguar.
Jaguar was like 'normally I would crush your skull in my jaws, but just this once I'm too knackered...I'll allow it, you may pet me'.

Nach einer Million Toten und acht Millionen Vertriebenen bemerkt dieser Verräter im Weißem Haus, Russland sei „fein“ mit der Ukraine umgegangen und habe „nicht viel getan“.
Ich will die echten #USA zurück!
Trump: "Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine. They haven't been doing much."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump's remarks were made the same day Russia conducted a drone strike killing six civilians including children in a Kharkiv region park, plus missile and energy infrastructure attacks leaving hundreds of thousands without power.

Three important observations from the recent Pew poll:
1. Americans see Russia (-70%) more negatively than not only Saudi Arabia (-55%), but even China (-54%), universally considered to be the chief US adversary.
2. Americans' attitude towards UK (+54%) is less warm than to Italy (+59%) and even to Japan (+65%).
3. Trump's policies towards Canada (confrontation) and Russia (appeasement) are diametrically opposite ones compare to predominant attitudes of Americans towards these two countries(+63% and -70%, respectively).

It's been a good week for Putin. In recent days, Trump has:
* Struck a diesel deal lifting some sanctions
* Restricted Starshield for Ukraine
* Cut intel warnings of Russian missile launches against Ukraine for several days
* Canceled Lindsey Graham sanctions
* Demanded Ukraine dump Zelensky
* Absolved Russia for helping Iran fight the US
* Pushed Europe to resume buying Russian gas

MORE: Trump’s October 16 Executive Order does not support Trump’s stated foreign policy objectives of ending the war in Ukraine and will only enable Russia to continue financing and protracting the war in Ukraine without any proper incentives that may force Russia to engage in any meaningful peace negotiations.
Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, October 17, 2026: It remains unclear whether Ukrainian forces can use SpaceX’s low-earth orbit satellite communication technology (Starlink and Starshield) to intercept Russian jet-powered drones as of October 17.
More Key Takeaways:
The Ukrainian military officially refuted Russian Chief of the General Staff Army General Valery Gerasimov's exaggerated battlefield claims from October 16.
US President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order on the night of October 16 that waives key sanctions, restrictions, and tariff provisions against Russia from the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act – a decision that will help Russia finance and protract the war in Ukraine.
Polish authorities warn that Russia may escalate its sabotage attempts and provocations against Polish logistics infrastructure, likely in an attempt to disrupt the transportation of Western aid to Ukraine during Winter 2026-2027.
Ukrainian forces recently advanced east of Kramatorsk and Russian forces recently advanced north of Kostyantynivka.
Russia launched 332 drones and an unspecified number of missiles and Banderol/Dan-T loitering munitions against Ukraine overnight. (1/2)

Russia wants peace, Ukraine wants war, Russia is helping us and Ukraine is hurting us by daring to defend itself. Also, we must be nice to Russia or it will help Iran.

putin is a dictator and a war criminal. he has done more damage to the fate of his own nation than any major world leader in generations.
zelenskyy’s crime? the defense of his fellow citizens.
america’s allies understand this, every one of them.

Meanwhile, what Russia is doing with the money Trump is giving them:
"According to analysis conducted by the Financial Times, 24 ships were hit in the two weeks to 11 October, the most intense period of attacks in the entirety of the war. It is almost double the second worst period, when in the first two weeks of the war in March, 13 ships were hit. 'Iran may be developing its anti-ship missile capabilities to improve its ability to target vessels,' the Institute for the Study of War said."
Bet you'll never guess who's helping Iran develop its anti-ship missile capabilities...
The Strait remains perilous, oil hits $100 a barrel, and the country helping America's adversary in the Gulf gets sanctions lift, while the country helping to protect U.S. forces there from drone attacks gets its air defense system degraded. uk.news.yahoo.com/disturbing…
