What is the US Trump's administration up to?
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered hundreds of the US military’s generals and admirals to gather on short notice — and without a stated reason — at a Marine Corps base in Virginia next week, sowing confusion and alarm in the ranks.
The highly unusual directive was sent to virtually all of the military’s top commanders worldwide, according to more than a dozen people familiar with the matter. The directive was issued earlier this week.
In a statement Thursday, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell affirmed that Hegseth “will be addressing his senior military leaders early next week,” but he offered no additional details.

War criminal psychopath #Netanyahu at UNGA
Israel's army takes over mobile phones of Gaza residents to carry Netanyahu UN speech live.
Even before he took to the podium, Netanyahu’s office said it had set up massive loudspeakers on trucks along the Gaza border to blare the speech to the people inside. He said his intended audience included the Israeli hostages held captive in Gaza. “We have not forgotten you,” he said.
His office later claimed the Israeli army had hacked the phones of people of Gaza, including Hamas operatives, to make sure they heard his words. Inside Gaza, Palestinians said they could not hear the speech, and there were no immediate reports of phones being hacked.

#Hungary Viktor Orban:
Ukraine is not an independent country and is not a sovereign state. It is supported by the West. Ukraine should not behave as if it is sovereign.
It lost a fifth of its territory in the war with the Russians. The Russians took it from them. There sovereignty ended there. Are we holding the rest of the territory? If the West decides not to give a single penny, Ukraine will shut down, it's over, it will disappear.

Moldova parliamentary election results
In Moldova, Maia Sandu's PAS party is losing seats in parliament, despite gross violations, massive manipulation of the vote count, and repression against the opposition. Instead of 63 seats in the current parliament, PAS will now have just over 50 (a decrease of approximately 10).
🔻 Other violations:▪️ A few days before the vote, Sandu's most vocal critics—Irina Vlah and her "Heart of Moldova" party and Victoria Furtună and her "Great Moldova" party—were disqualified from the elections.▪️ Residents of Transnistria were physically restricted from voting: in addition to reducing the number of polling stations, Moldovan authorities partially closed bridges across the Dniester, creating traffic jams. Only two polling stations were opened in Russia.▪️ Meanwhile, an unprecedented number of polling stations were opened for the diaspora in Western countries, which remained empty all day. However, later, over 100,000 extra, non-existent votes from supposedly foreign voters suddenly appeared.
It's no wonder that the Moldovan authorities, the day before, banned exit polls that would have shown a gap between the actual results and those ultimately produced by the Western-controlled Central Election Commission.

There's a constant drumbeat in Europe about war with Russia within the next five years.
That's not going to happen.
Why?
Because it is against our national interests.
1. Russia doesn’t need a war with anyone, least of all the frigid old crone, Europe. There's nothing in it for us. Europe’s economy is weak and dependent on the US, and its culture is degenerating into oblivion. Europe is losing its identity, dissolving in a flood of belligerent migrants.
2. The key priority for the Russian people is developing our own country, including rebuilding the territories that have returned to the fold. That's neither easy nor cheap.
3. Russia has always come to Europe as a liberator, never as an invader.
Why won't Europe start a war itself?
Here’s why:
1. European countries are vulnerable and divided amongst themselves. They can only pursue their own interests, struggling to stay afloat in today’s economic turmoil. They cannot afford a war with Russia.
2. European leaders are pathetic degenerates, unable to shoulder responsibility for any serious undertaking. They lack the strategic thinking, let alone the energy (in Russia it's called passionarity), to make successful military decisions.
3. Most Europeans are soft and apathetic; they are unwilling to fight for any common ideals or even their own land.
Why is war still possible?
The chance of a tragic accident always exists. And hyperactive trigger-happy lunatics also remain a factor. This kind of conflict has a genuine risk of spiraling into a war with weapons of mass destruction.
So we must not let our guard down.

Putin response to Trump’s remark describing Russia as a paper tiger:
“Go ahead and try dealing with this ‘paper tiger".
“If we’re fighting the entire NATO bloc, feel confident, and still get called a paper tiger — then what does that make NATO itself? The key is to believe in yourself — and we do"
He said the Russian army controls two-thirds of Kupyansk, has entered Pokrovsk, Konstantinovka, and Seversk, and “holds the initiative along the entire front line.”
“Kiev’s leadership would do better to start thinking about how to negotiate,” Putin added.

Putin is asked when he will stop sending all those drones to Denmark?
His answer ⬆️
His answer ⬆️
#NATO #Drones #FalseFlag
The American Conservative:
the latest news about the EU security threat from alleged Russian drones and rumors of a possible US supply of Tomahawk missiles is a staged scenario by Zelensky, whose goal is to intimidate Russia and force it to agree to an unfavorable ceasefire.
Before coming to power, Zelensky and his team wrote and produced TV shows. Scripts are perhaps what they do best. Now he is trying to rewrite the course of the war by creating fiction only partly related to reality.
🟥 Act One. Drones over Poland and planes over Estonia.
The EU claims "violations" of airspace, but in fact this is fiction and a pre-planned action. The narrative about "aggressive actions by Russia against Europe" looks like an attempt to draw NATO deeper into the conflict.
🟥 Act Two. A "window" for victory.
After a briefing by advisors, Trump stated that Ukraine could regain all territories with the support of Europe and NATO. However, in reality, Russia is increasing its offensive, Ukraine is losing people and weapons, and the US limits itself to selling arms to Europe.
🟥 Act Three. Tomahawk cruise missiles.
Zelensky asked Washington for new weapons. Later it turned out to be about "Tomahawks." But the US has few of them, Ukraine has no launch platforms, and without American intelligence, the missiles are useless. Moreover, their delivery would threaten a direct conflict between the US and Russia, which Trump avoids.
Epilogue — this whole "three-act play" is just an attempt to intimidate Putin and draw the US deeper into the war. But Moscow understands that behind the loud words there is more propaganda than reality, and such a game can only lead to escalation.

Oh well, what a coincidence!
Just as the Czechs have started voting in elections (voting yesterday and today), and while the EU is panicking at the idea that the anti-EU and anti-war candidate Babis will win, mysterious "Russian drones" suddenly appear above Prague airport!
Just to disseminate the "Russian threat" narrative in the last hours of the election campaign and pro-European government immediately pulls out all the stops to really stun public opinion: "shooters deployed", "helicopters", etc.
In the Czech Republic, snipers and a helicopter were deployed after drones were reported at Václav Havel Airport in the capital Prague.
Anti-drone measures were put in place this Friday evening, October 3, 2025. The cause was "an anonymous and unverified report ," according to local police.
