Donald Trump Is Playing Footsie with Vladimir Putin | Bill Browder

Oct 13, 2026 | NATO has unveiled its new “Theory of Victory” while the White House has surprised allies by lifting sanctions on Russian diesel imports. Both developments are being closely discussed at the Warsaw Security Forum, now in its second day.

“We are dealing with two alternative realities,” said Bill Browder, Head of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, speaking in an interview with TVP World. According to Browder, NATO's message of deterrence stands in stark contrast to the actions of President Donald Trump, who he says is “flirting” with Vladimir Putin. “We are living in a world where there is a fairly high probability that the United States would not come to the aid of a NATO ally,” he argues.

Browder believes Trump is driven by private interests and warns that Europe has effectively been left on its own to deal with Russia. He also describes Trump's calls for presidential elections in Ukraine as “madness.” According to Browder, Putin cannot afford to stop waging war and should never be underestimated.

Kimberly Guilfoyle resigned as the U.S. ambassador to Greece on Tuesday after the White House asked her to do so following a string of damaging reports, including that she had asked a Republican donor to pay off her credit card.

In response to a question from a reporter about Ms. Guilfoyle’s status, President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, said: “We have asked Ambassador Guilfoyle to resign. She has been a wonderful asset to the team, and we wish her well.”

Mr. Trump said Tuesday that Ms. Guilfoyle “was doing a good job” but that he “didn’t like what I read.” The president also downplayed his connection to Ms. Guilfoyle, who was once engaged to his oldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“She wasn’t a member of my family,” he told reporters before leaving the White House for Alaska. “She, I guess, dated my son a long time ago.” » | Tyler Pager | Tuesday, October 13, 2026

Trump's Putin Deal Prompts Fresh Questions over Support for Ukraine | DW News

Oct 10, 2026 | Just a day after striking a controversial diesel deal with Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump has suggested it's time for Ukraine to get a new president. Trump blamed Volodymyr Zelenskyy for prolonging the war and even linked him to high diesel prices in the United States. The remarks have triggered a backlash in Kyiv and alarm among European allies already concerned by Washington's shifting approach to Russia. Kremlin critic Bill Browder calls Trump's comments "a new low" for US policy toward Ukraine.

Drama Queen Justice Alito Wants Peasants to Stop Being Big Meanies to SCOTUS

Oct 9, 2026 | Justice Samuel Alito is reminding everyone how much of a whiny, narcissistic simpleton he is while hawking his book. He went out of his way to portray himself as a victim due to criticism the Supreme Court has received for their disregard of the Constitution and also claimed the 2015 Obergefell decision that struck down same-sex marriage bans harmed religious liberty. In this video we’ll dissect his absurd comments and explain why he’s nothing more than a partisan hack in a robe.

BANNED BOOKS IN THE USA: JB Pritzker Shares Books Republicans Don’t Want You to Read.

Oct 5, 2026 | For Banned Books Week 2026, JB Pritzker highlights a selection of books that have been challenged or prohibited by right-wing organizations, legislatures, and school boards across the country.

JB Pritzker stood up against this MAGA-driven censorship by signing a first-in-the-nation law banning book bans. Because, as Gov. Pritzker says: “Democracies don’t ban books; regimes do.”


One would be forgiven for thinking this discussion was taking place in Hitler’s Third Reich circa 1933, but it isn’t. It is taking place in the USA right now, in 2026, in Trump’s evil and brutal dystopia. So, JB Pritzker’s theme is a great one, and it is very timely. We should all thank him for highlighting the stupidity and dangerousness of MAGA. — © Mark Alexander

U.S.-Russia Talks on Ukraine Now Involve an Oil Deal Tied to Trump Allies

THE NEW YORK TIMES: President Vladimir V. Putin brought up a sale of Russian energy assets with President Trump’s envoys, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, pushing a deal that raises new questions about conflicts of interest.

The Trump administration’s talks with Russia about ending the war in Ukraine have expanded to include a multibillion-dollar oil deal that would benefit Middle Eastern business executives with ties to the two main U.S. negotiators, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

The deal, which is contingent on approval from the U.S. government and the Kremlin, is for a sprawling set of oil fields, refineries and gas stations around the world owned by Lukoil, one of Russia’s biggest energy companies.

The leading group seeking the deal includes an American investor, Todd Boehly, who has donated $2 million to President Trump’s political causes; two Middle Eastern groups that have done business with Mr. Kushner or Mr. Witkoff’s family; and an arm of the U.S. government itself.

The monthslong negotiations, which were described by eight people familiar with them, shed new light on Mr. Trump’s latest approach to settling a four-year war that has killed hundreds of thousands. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. » | Anton Troianovski and Eric Lipton | Reporting from Washington | Saturday, October 3, 2026

The Economic Rights Americans Never Got But Desperately Need (w/ Susan Neiman)

October 2, 2026

Even though I, until now, have never voted for a socialist government believe this, or not, but at the time, I was one of Thatcher’s greatest fans!—but in my opinion, America needs a good dose of socialism to begin to try and correct the damage that Trump has done. It needs socialism badly! The best man for the White House, in my opinion, would be Bernie Sanders who, by European standards, is moderate indeed. Just a little left of centre. —© Mark Alexander

Trump Brought Venezuelan Gold to the U.S., but Refiners Won’t Touch It

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The administration is brokering deals in a notoriously corrupt industry, including one with a company that the United States deems a security threat.

In early March, as President Trump basked in the success of a military intervention in Venezuela, he joined Interior Secretary Doug Burgum in the West Wing for a private celebration. A businessman also attended, and brought along a pile of gold.

The president looked approvingly at the 10 Venezuelan gold bars stacked in the Roosevelt Room, across from the Oval Office, White House officials recalled. Aides took photos and joked about keeping the gold.

Mr. Trump himself had once blacklisted Venezuelan gold, declaring that it destroyed the environment, poisoned people and financed gangsters and corrupt military officials. But after Mr. Trump toppled the Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro, his view changed.

On the same day that the bars arrived at the White House, the Trump administration issued a new policy allowing traders to import Venezuelan gold from one of the world’s most violent and corrupt mining regions. The first supplies would come from a state-owned mining company that remained a designated U.S. national security threat. » | Anatoly Kurmanaev, Tyler Pager and Rebecca R.

I Know the Secret of Why Trump Truly Fears Putin | The Daily Beast Podcast

Sep 14, 2026 | Luke Harding, author of the new book Betrayal: Trump, Putin and The New Age of Conquest, speaks with Joanna Coles about the decades-long relationship between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, and the Russian intelligence operation that Harding argues helped cultivate Trump as a potential target for influence.

Harding traces Trump’s early connections to Moscow, the murky financial dealings that followed, and the compromising information that may give Putin leverage over the president, including what could have been captured during Trump’s visits to Russia. He also explains why Russia viewed Trump’s 2016 victory as a historic intelligence triumph, how Trump’s approach to Ukraine has benefited Putin, and why Russia and China see an opportunity to reshape the global order.

Harding reveals what he experienced first-hand while reporting in Moscow, including the surveillance and intimidation campaign that ultimately led to his expulsion, before turning to the startling possibility that Russian state television has used Melania Trump as a warning to her husband.

Trump Meets Xi: The Moment America Looked Smaller Than China

Donald Trump’s meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping offered a revealing glimpse of how dramatically the balance between the United States and China has changed. As Trump and Xi discussed trade, technology, artificial intelligence, Taiwan and the future of US-China relations, the encounter raised a much bigger question: is America still setting the terms of global power, or is China increasingly negotiating with Washington as an equal?

Falklands: Milei Is 'Harassing' Us, Say Locals

Sep 9, 2026 | “If someone's polls start failing, if the president starts doing badly and losing popularity, we become a national bastion to try to stand behind, which is incredibly harassing.”

Argentina President Javier Milei’s constant questioning of the Falkland Islands sovereignty is “physiologically traumatising” for the people of the Island says former member of the Falklands Islands legislative assembly, Tesyln Barman.


Interesting Informamtion:

The name "Malvinas" means "people from Saint-Malo." It is a Spanish translation of a French name used to describe the origin of the sailors who first colonized the territory.

The Etymology Trail:

The name evolved through a chain of languages and historical events:

1. St. Malo (The Saint): The root of the name comes from St. Malo (also known as Maclou), a 6th-century Christian evangelist traditionally believed to have been born in Wales before founding a city in Brittany, France.

2. Saint-Malo (The Port): This French port city was named in his honour. Residents and mariners from this specific town are called Malouins.

3. Îles Malouines (The French Name): In 1764, French explorer Louis-Antoine de Bougainville founded the first human settlement on the islands. Because his crew and colonists departed from the port of Saint-Malo, he named the archipelago Îles Malouines (literally, "The Malouin Islands").

4. Islas Malvinas (The Spanish Name): When Spain later took control of the French settlement, they adapted the French phonetic sound into Spanish, turning Malouines into Malvinas.
