At least 81 US military aircraft are known to have been destroyed, lost or otherwise damaged / knocked out of service during the war with Iran, according to a new Congressional Research Service report:

In the fall of 2022, Gen. Milley said there was a window of opportunity for talks over Ukraine. Around the same time, Bernie Sanders rejected a letter by other progressives calling on Biden to facilitate talks. How come the icon of the progressive cause turned more hawkish than US chief military commander? My debut piece in the @jacobin looks at the senator’s problematic stances on Ukraine and Russia. jacobin.com/2026/10/putin-uk…

We don't just want to hold Biden administration officials publicly accountable for aiding and abetting the genocide and war crimes in Israel. We want the ICC to investigate and prosecute them. See DAWN's 200 page complaint to the court that follows! haaretz.com/us-news/2026-10-…

RT @MrKevinRothrock: Latvia's foreign minister moves to expel journalist & pundit @leonidragozin based on "information received today from…

I was shocked to learn that Latvia is moving to declare journalist @leonidragozin Leonid Ragozin persona non grata, potentially forcing him out of the country. The immediate danger is obvious. Ragozin is a Russian citizen and a longtime critic of Vladimir Putin and Russia’s war against Ukraine. Forcing him back to Russia could put him at risk of persecution. But this is about much more than one journalist. Ragozin’s real offense appears to be his refusal to tell the story of this war in the comforting language of good and evil: Putin as Hitler, Zelensky as Churchill, Russia as absolute evil, and the West as a spectator with neither agency nor responsibility for the catastrophe unfolding in Ukraine. Ragozin has never denied Russia’s aggression. What he has challenged is the idea that acknowledging the aggressor absolves us from asking how we arrived here. His journalism insists on examining the uncomfortable history behind the war: NATO expansion, the collapse of the post-Cold War security order, Maidan and its aftermath, competing nationalisms, the failure of diplomacy, Putin’s authoritarianism and the steadily escalating confrontation between Russia and the West. You can disagree with his conclusions. But if questioning the Western dominant narrative of a war can make a journalist a national-security threat, something has gone badly wrong. Explanation is not justification. Understanding your enemy is not collaboration with your enemy. And asking how a war began is not treason. That is what makes the Ragozin case so disturbing. It suggests that Europe’s accelerating militarization is being accompanied by an intellectual one: a narrowing of what may be said, questioned, and even thought about this war. As Europe prepares for an increasingly open-ended confrontation with Russia, inconvenient voices become inconvenient for a reason. Nuance interferes with mobilization. Doubt interferes with certainty. And journalism becomes dangerous when it asks questions that politics no longer wants answered. This should frighten us. Europe will not protect democracy by policing the boundaries of permissible thought. Nor will it bring peace closer by silencing those who question the logic of permanent confrontation. We are talking, after all, about a confrontation involving nuclear powers. At such a moment, the dangerous voices are not those demanding that we understand how we got here. The truly dangerous moment comes when we are no longer allowed to ask.

The US's elite liberal meritocracy (Booker is a Rhodes Scholar and Yale Law School alum in addition to a Senator), white or nonwhite, are all exactly the same. They are also a model of class loyalty to one another.

Latvia’s commitment to freedom of speech appears to be a joke. All Leonid did was write balanced takes on Ukraine and Russia — usually far more thoughtful than those of the average, even credentialed, commentator on the war. This case will only push other Russian dissenters in the EU toward even deeper self-censorship and fuel the toxic accusations they are already directing at one another.

Oxford Union censored @susanabulhawa's incredible November 2024 speech about Palestine and the racism of Zionism. But she lawyered up. The union has now been forced to restore the full speech to their YouTube channel. Full report by @AliAbunimah: electronicintifada.net/blogs…

Naftali Bennett has branded one of the most influential Haredi rabbis in Israel, Dov Lando, as “antisemitic” What did Rabbi Lando say to earn this label? Lando proclaimed: “It’s possible, without a state [of Israel], to live well with the Arabs… to live, to respect the Arabs. It was pretty good when the Arabs were in charge. It was the best situation.” He added that the Zionists “made Arabs hate us.“ Lando went on to call for a peace deal with the Palestinians, and slammed Zionism for having “brought the physical disasters, not just the spiritual ones, to the Jewish people.” For these clear-eyed statements, Lando has become a public enemy denounced by politicians across the Zionist spectrum. The lesson is clear: even a senior rabbi is one of The Antisemites if he refuses to bow before the state of Israel and its genocidal army.

.@leonidragozin is a Putin critic who hasn’t been in Russia since 2022, but because he also challenges Ukraine proxy war propaganda that makes him, in neocon eyes, a “Russian apologist”:

Would anyone in our media refer to the Oct 7 attack as a “zeitgeist-y issue”? They would not of course. Ever.

Just counting videos, tens of thousands of Ukrainian women have resisted busification of men. That makes them the largest women's anti-war movement worldwide. And that's not counting millions of women who hide, feed, clothe and protect 2 million Ukrainian men avoiding the draft.

La CIA trajo a los evangélicos a América Latina. Los evangélicos llegaron a la región en los años 70. La CIA envió iglesias pentecostales conservadoras para contrarrestar tendencias católicas que consideraba comunistas. La idea era que los pobres buscaran su salvación personal en lugar de revoluciones sociales. Desde entonces, las diferentes denominaciones evangélicas (bautistas, pentecostales, etc.) han crecido. En América Central, los evangélicos ya son el grupo religioso más grande, con más de la mitad de la población en países como Costa Rica y Panamá. En donde menos evangélicos hay es en Argentina, Uruguay y México. Son iglesias que en gran parte se han basado en el televangelismo de los Estados Unidos Han hecho telenovelas basadas en la Biblia, sobre todo en Brasil y actualmente saben sacar provecho de las redes como nadie.

Your definition of Zionism does not matter. Nor does mine. Zionism is defined by its material manifestations. The purpose of a system is what it does. And the Zionist system does racism and genocide. Simple. Please spare me the arrogant insufferable graaating Oxbridge debates. Your opinions are irrelevant. People are dying.

⚡️ More than half of Ukrainians say Zelensky should not run for president again, poll says. The KIIS survey also revealed that 45% of Ukrainians believe their country's affairs are moving in the wrong direction, while 40% think the opposite. kyivindependent.com/more-tha…
