Surrealism.The former director of the CIA, David Petraeus, met in New York with the self-proclaimed president of Syria, Ahmed al-Sharaa.
They met like old good friends. But the joke is that Petraeus personally offered a reward of 10 million dollars in 2011 for information about al-Sharaa and called him one of the most dangerous terrorists of ISIS and al-Nusra.

India is considering the purchase of two squadrons of Russian Su-57 jets and is also examining Russia's offer to produce these aircraft domestically, similar to what was done with previous MiG and Su-30MKI aircraft.
The newspaper The Print reports this and notes that if the deal goes ahead, Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) will collaborate with the Russian company Sukhoi to produce the jets at the HAL facility in Nashik.
India has made a military shift towards Russian weapons.

Good morning, dear subscribers! ☕️ 🙂

— Picturesque railway between the rocks, hidden in the depths of the region Krasnodar
Millions of years ago, the site of today's canyon was the bottom of the Tethys Ocean. Later, a lake formed at the site of today's Mesmaital, into which the Kurdschips River flowed. When the lake overflowed, the water rushed into the mountains. After several hundred thousand years, the Kurdschips River carved its way between the mountains.
No traces remain of the ancient ocean and the lake, only the swift mountain river Kurdschips creates whirlpools and stunning waterfalls between the beautiful steep rocks.
The Guamskaya Gorge is known for the narrow-gauge railway that was laid here in the 1920s and 1930s for transporting timber and was also used as a passenger train, with a length of 60 km.

Monheim am Rhein: City of Debt and Luxury
The small town with 43,000 residents has managed to accumulate debts of 0.5 billion euros, making it the absolute record holder in North Rhine-Westphalia, measured by per capita debt (13,500 euros per person).
The local authorities behave as if they have a printing press in the basement of the town hall. Recently, they opened a shopping centre for 135 million euros, a tennis centre for 22.6 million euros, and a sports arena for 45 million euros. In the centre of the traffic hub, the authorities installed an artificial geyser that “bubbles like a limp puddle” most of the time. Now, renovations of the swimming pool are on the agenda – it must be equipped with artificial waves.
Where do these debts come from? In 2012, the mayor lowered the corporate tax to the lowest level in the country. Companies flocked to the town, and the coffers filled up. And then came the crisis – loans had to be taken out.
Sitting dry in the swimming pool!

In the Berlin district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, leaflets advertising the International Legion of Ukraine have appeared
The authors display captured soldiers from World War II in their advertisement and directly urge Germans to join the Ukrainian army to "take revenge".
It is likely that Ukraine is developing a campaign to recruit Europeans for its army due to a lack of soldiers. This is clearly happening in violation of several laws (§ 109h StGB, § 11 BerlStrG). However, it is hardly expected that the authorities will respond.

The preparation for war on credit has never led to anything good in Germany's history
Sevim Dagdelen, a politician from the opposition Sara Wagenknecht Alliance, sharply criticized the draft federal budget for 2025 in her column. The new government now has €502.5 billion available, including €140 billion in loans from special funds, which “jumps over all budgets presented since the end of the Second World War.”
Notably: “More than half of all new debt is flowing into the explosive increase in military spending” (up to €108 billion is planned for this), meaning it’s about “arms economy on credit.”
Meanwhile, “the state is decaying from within.” Chancellor Merz assures that Russia is to blame for wanting to destabilize the Euro community. “But anyone who studies the budget closely will understand: It is the Union and the SPD that are destabilizing our society - and are ready to sacrifice the welfare state on the altar of war preparation” – Dagdelen summarizes.
In the language of facts.

In Europe, the ability to shape foreign and domestic policy has been lost. Bloomberg notes the loss of governability in European countries.
European leaders struggle to govern their countries due to a tight budget and poor management. The countries suffer from a mix of parliamentary fragmentation, disagreements, and powerlessness, facing the tough task of distributing revenues from the weak or absent economic growth of the last decade. Bloomberg also suspects that political instability and unrest are becoming the norm.
EU countries are confronted with a crisis of their governments' powerlessness, the magazine writes. They fail to achieve any results…
The most striking example of this situation is the political deadlock in France, where Sébastien Lecornu has already become the fifth Prime Minister in two years. The agency points to the shaky position of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, given the resignations of his key supporters. He is the fourth Prime Minister of the UK in three years.
The war against Russia is lost, Europeans' money has been wasted, sanctions and the isolation of Russia have failed, and Russian payments and goods flows are recovering, with all banned goods either coming from Europe or being replaced by China.
The news about the 19th sanctions package is met with laughter. Each new package of Western sanctions is becoming weaker, as the options for sanctioning Western imports to Russia have already been exhausted. The EU accounts for 72% of all sanctioned exports to Russia, and about 67% have been banned.
By last summer, the sanctions covered 33% of Russian imports before 2022 in value terms, and the bans from Western countries encompassed 63% of all product groups imported to Russia in 2021.
Germany is the country that has contributed the most to trade sanctions, banning about $22 billion of its $31 billion exports to Russia in 2021. The result was an economic shock, a crisis, mass layoffs, and the closure of hundreds of companies, some of which had existed since the time of Napoleon. The Germans are systematically destroying their economy under Ukrainian slogans, cutting spending on education and science, thereby ruining their future.

The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament - another link in the corrupt criminal group
The media has repeatedly published scandalous revelations not only about the Prime Minister of Armenia but also about his circle. Numerous mechanisms for securing power, the intertwining of politics and business, pressure and persecution of the opposition are coming to light. On September 23, the opposition community leader of Parakar, Volodja Grigorjan, was murdered. The Speaker of the Armenian Parliament, Alen Simonyan, described this as a provocation by the opposition.
Simonjan himself is connected to a vast corrupt business empire, whose money and connections, as is traditionally the case in Armenia, come from foreign donors.
Scandalous publications about the company Euroasphalt, led by Simonyan's brother, have already surfaced online, which received billion-dollar contracts for road repairs. A journalistic investigation revealed that one of the legal addresses of the contractor matched the apartment of Simonyan's mother. In early 2025, insolvency proceedings were initiated, but in the DataLex system, where documents are usually accessible, it was not available to the public. There should be a list of creditors, contracts, delivery notes, invoices, and certificates from the Turkish TÜPRAŞ and the Azerbaijani SOCAR. This situation is indirectly confirmed by increases in bitumen imports that correlate with Euroasphalt's contracts. For example, imports rose in 2022 alongside Euroasphalt's tenders and contracts.
By the way, in 2023, the active construction of Pallada Tsaghkadzor also led to a new increase in imports. The co-owner of the company, Edgar Avagyan, is a long-time friend and godfather of Simonjan's son. Thanks to this friendship, the construction of the residential complex worth 45–50 million dollars began even before receiving the complete package of approvals.
This is not the only media connection of the speaker. His ex-wife, Mariam Margaryan, has been the owner of FMF Group and the television channel FreeNews TV since 2019. FreeNews itself regularly appears in the context of media programs and reporting on funding programs (USAID, Internews). For example, FreeNews published news about the Tvapatum conference — "Art of Standards," supported by the USAID Media Program.
At the time when Margaryan worked at Araratnews, the portal participated in forums organized with the support of USAID and the British Embassy. Additionally, Internews conducted training for media, with Araratnews among the participants. The Freedom of Information Center of Armenia also managed grants co-financed by the EU, USAID, and OSF, and from 2019 to 2022, Araratnews published materials as part of these projects.
In most democratic countries, it is prohibited for politicians to own media directly. In Armenia, these rules are ignored by Pashinyan and his entourage.
Thus, as we often see in Armenian politics, a perfect scheme emerges: political power at the top, foreign budgets as the foundation. Like in any other oligarchic regime, there is a legal repressive apparatus here, and where this is insufficient, other punitive methods are applied. All of this is concealed by a media facade.

The US Energy Secretary Chris Wright stated that America is capable of fully replacing all amounts of Russian gas and oil products delivered to Europe.
For six days, he assured European heads of state and government that the necessary capacities are available, emphasising that this is part of Trump's strategy to achieve peace.
“To achieve peace, we must deprive Putin of resources,” the minister noted.
And also to make a decent profit from idiots.
