Rubio: "We don’t just want to end the war, we want Ukraine to be secure forever, free, and to enter an era of prosperity."

NSDC Secretary Umerov: "We wrapped a tough but productive session in Florida. There’s real progress toward a just peace. Grateful to the U.S. for the strong support."

NATO prepares for a future where U.S. support is limited. A French-led wargame in Romania showed Europe’s eastern flank defending alone, while Trump’s drawdown raises fears allies may face Russia without American backup.

For example, the room of Canada’s top journalists heartily laughing as Poilievre mocks the concept of “Queers for Palestine” as “crazy.”

Yikes.

Note to Southern and Eastern Ontario folks: my hubs is heading to eastward on the 401. He sends the message to avoid it at all costs if you can.

He says a Tesla sedan managed to spin out, crash , and cause a significant slow down single-handedly.

Russia’s Rosneft reports a 70 % drop in net income for the first 9 months of 2025, down to 277 billion roubles (~$3.57 billion). The company cited high interest rates, lower oil prices, a stronger rouble, and rising “anti‑terror security” costs as major pressures.

Real reason: Ukrainian sanctions.

Russian drone violations of Moldova’s airspace are unacceptable and put civilian air traffic at risk.

The EU is investing 20 million EUR this year in Moldova’s air-defences to help strengthen the country’s security.

Moldova’s skies cannot become a casualty of Russia’s war.

💥German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed that Viktor Orbán travelled to Vladimir Putin without an EU mandate or consulting European leaders.

He added that Orbán’s last trip in 2024 wasn’t just a failure — it was followed by one of Russia’s most intense strikes.

Ukraine and Norway have signed an agreement to jointly produce Ukrainian drones. Defense Ministers Denys Shmyhal and Torgeir Sandvik formalized the deal, with plans to launch a pilot production line in 2026 and scale up capacity soon after.

Upheaval in Norway. Left/centre parties won the election this year, but they haven’t been able to agree a budget. The Green Party left the negotiations today.

Confirmed by Ukraine’s General Staff: strikes hit the Afipsky oil refinery and the Beriev aircraft repair plant in Taganrog, Russia. The Taganrog facility upgrades Tu-95 bombers and A-50 AWACS aircraft, both key to Russia’s war effort. The Afipsky refinery again targeted for fueling Russian forces.

I wrote a piece recently about how Trump, Putin, Musk and the rest are actually fellow citizens of a borderless, lawless society designed to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else. Politics and patriotism are just a cover.
"By dangling multibillion-dollar rare-earth and energy deals, Moscow could reshape the economic map of Europe—while driving a wedge between America and its traditional allies"
