Yeah, that happens.

Yes, that’s what I thought at first too. A [country] tag somewhere in the summary of the Post can be helpful at times. Though according to this community, US internal news shouldn’t be posted here fyi.#E

I’m unsure what sanctions relief US will precisely provide Belarus ( there were talks of opening the airspace, but here they talk about fertilizers and some trade), but it’s almost guaranteed that this sanctionrelief will give Ruzzia a new lifeline, prolonging the conflict and they counter the sanctions that are in place.

I’d welcome a future where Belarusians will be free.

This article creates a weird context. They are glueing here Trump’s intervention to the question whether the people want a regime change. I think those are two separate topics.

I don’t think anyone condones this Trump intervention, and I agree that it is disturbing and can have far-reaching consequences.

Apart from this, it’s Interesting to read how some journalist keep interviewing people living in a dictatorship and then call that public opinion. The quoted poll was made by a Venezuelan based company by a survey of 1200 ( maybe pre selected) individuals. Also according to UN officials the opposition has won the elections in Venezuela. If you wonder how the 8 million Venezuelans that have fled the country would feel about regime change per 12 dec 2025 ( The Hill):

" Venezuelans cite the same reasons for leaving: the impossibility of earning a stable income, the collapse of basic services, insecurity and the certainty that life will not improve under an authoritarian regime. These motivations have remained consistent regardless of U.S. foreign policy.

Those who leave sure tell a different story. I wonder why?

Not a very optimistic lookout. But if you know that beforehand, I reckon that means that the Brits could workout something better?

Some good news for the British youngsters.

Context by Techspot October 2025: Reverse-engineering ASML isn’t going great for China, engineers allegedly broke the machine trying. A costly mistake.

context: ASML Holding is the Dutch company that develops the world’s most advanced chip manufacturing machines. Many are attempting to replicate ASML’s technology, but, if the rumors coming from China are to be believed, they still have a long way to go

I find Russia guilty as fuck

And how many Trillion in damages? #E

Maybe beacuse this new President Kast, is from a rich family. Or maybe because his father was a Wehrmacht officer and member of the NSDAP? Maybe beacuse Rubio was quick to congratulate him. Take your pick.

Add. Most newspapers call him " ultra right".

No, no no no. the photos raise even more QUESTIONS /s

" These disturbing photos raise even more questions about Epstein and his relationships with some of the most powerful men in the world. "

I’d say that Epstein got along" just fine" with them.

This link states, though I can’t verify this, that:

According to classified BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, in Eng: Federal Criminal Police Office, Germany) reports obtained by the team:

1,072 incidents involving 1,955 drones in 2025 alone (as of November 19). Forty-five percent occurred in evening hours. Drone swarms flew “almost exclusively over or near military installations.”

Note: author checks out though.

Let’s be carefull now with the NYT… is there another source?

Checks out, I found Moscow Times:

A Russian national charged in Poland with spying for Russian intelligence has admitted to passing information to Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), Polish media reported Monday, citing case files.

Investigators also allege that Rogov received a courier shipment containing components for a bomb, including liquid explosives, fuses and a power source.

Being funded by whom? The heritage foundation, the FSB or both?

Of course he does. Any real democracy is a threat to autocrats. Especially if they don’t cede to bullies. So the louder the autocrats bark, the bigger their fears are, and the stronger democracies get.

Hope BELGIUM @ DeWever understands this too. Maybe we need to mail the Belgian PM, so he doesn’t fold and ( does) release the frozen funds.

China is almost as big as USA.Does it mean that maybe both China and USA should focus more on internal issues and less in expansionism?

That would be quite …progressive?

Never thought I’d get to say that in this context. The world must be upside down and the magnetic poles must have inverted.

So your thinking is something like:

because Ukraine was invaded in Crimea in 2014 and there after, in 2022 there was the full-blown invasion; you conclude that Europe is willfully ignorant of Russia being badfaith actor and that therefore Europe still naively believes that Ruzzia has peaceful intentions? Weird conclusion.

EU started with sanctions after Crimea was annexed. So no, Europeans didn’t think Russia had peaceful intentions. Also there is the shooting down in 2014 of a passangerplane MH17. So again, no.

European continent appears to be willfully ignorant

Really? You appear ill-informed.

Exactly, for those who can’t keep up with the events, the issue is that Ruzzia has been pushing their luck and EU itself is getting tired of the Ruzz “mosquitoes”, ie the many many on-going hybrid atacks incl. drones, fires, sabotage etc. This is ON TOP of the intensified atrocities by Ruzz in Ukraine and other places fyi. Time to do something, many in Europe think. From the NYT article, the European pov:

"Concern that sabotage is growing ever more dangerous has led some European leaders not just to blame Russia for hybrid activity more frequently but also to talk more openly how they will defend themselves.(…)

“This is a lot about ‘Now, Russia is at war with the West,’” said Charlie Edwards, a hybrid-warfare expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies and a former intelligence and security strategist for Britain. “That’s an important change.”(…)

Every time NATO and the E.U. don’t do something, the credibility of the alliance is questioned,” Mr. Edwards said, “for the simple reason that there seems to be no obvious, public response.”
