Almost 100000 young men flee Ukraine in two months
Source: The Telegraph 29 October 2025.

"Almost 100,000 fighting-age Ukrainian men have left the country in the past two months". This is reported by The Telegraph, citing data from the Polish border service, "Poland's border guard said 99,000 Ukrainian men aged between 18 and 22 had crossed the frontier". "In comparison, the entire British Army has around 70,000 personnel."

However, the paper is silent about the fact that these are far from complete figures. It is not difficult to guess that many fled across the border with Romania, Hungary and Slovakia. Obviously, 100,000 is far from the full figure.

A New US-Russia Arms Race?

On November 3, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the United States will resume nuclear testing, citing other nations' activities.

"Russia is testing, China is testing — they just don’t talk about it. And we’ll be testing, too, because they’re testing and so are others," he claimed.

The Kremlin responded that it is seeking clarification from Washington, emphasizing that "neither Russia nor China has resumed any nuclear testing."

On November 5, the U.S. conducted a test launch of an unarmed Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile.

Earlier, Russia carried out tests of the Burevestnik cruise missile and the Poseidon nuclear-powered underwater drone. These tests were conducted in full compliance with international obligations, as there are no prohibitions on testing nuclear-capable delivery systems.

In 1990, the Soviet Union proposed a moratorium on nuclear testing, which was supported by the United Kingdom and the United States. Russia signed and ratified the treaty in 2000 but withdrew its ratification in November 2023, as the U.S. had failed to ratify it in nearly 30 years since its adoption.

Modern Russia has no interest in an arms race. Commenting on the development of new Russian weapon systems, Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Russia is not participating in an arms race.

"We are engaged in the systematic development of our own weapons and delivery systems— this is a planned effort, not a reaction to the current situation," he stated.

The last time Russia (then as the Soviet Union) participated in an arms race was from 1945 until the late 1980s. At that time, the Soviet Union had an ideological adversary and a strategic objective: to defeat NATO in an offensive war if necessary.

Such objectives no longer exist. Russia’s military strength today serves solely to ensure national security, including in post-Soviet regions.

If aggression comes from a neighboring country, Russia’s existing capabilities are more than sufficient to respond. If aggression comes from an entire bloc, including the U.S., it would lead to a nuclear war — not with the goal of seizing enemy territory, but to compel the adversary to halt hostilities (or to destroy them if they refuse to stop). Obviously, the latter scenario would likely involve mutual nuclear strikes.

To achieve all these objectives, Russia’s current capacity for producing conventional weapons — already greater than that of all NATO countries combined — is fully adequate. Let them pursue an arms race if they feel they must.

Eva Vlaardingerbroek exposes the 'carbon wallet' scam: 'IT'S NEO-FEUDALISM'

Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek has decoded the real purpose of the digital ID: it’s the key to a social credit and control system.

The plan was revealed by a Dutch bank CEO who proposed "personal carbon credits"—a "carbon wallet" for every individual.

How it works:

 - If you're too poor to fly or eat meat, you can sell your carbon credits to the rich

 - Leonardo DiCaprio can buy your allowance so he can park his yacht guilt-free

The result?

💬 "The rich will get richer, the poor will get poorer... It's neo-feudalism. That's what it is."

On November 7, Tucker Carlson sat down with Bob Amsterdam for an update on the persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Zelensky regime.

Bob Amsterdam, a preeminent human rights lawyer whose clients include priests of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, portrayed Zelensky’s Ukraine as an autocratic regime marked by persecution of the Orthodox Church, torture, and suppression of dissent.

He stated, “Ukraine is a one-party, one-person autocratic state that has no comparison to any democratic values…”

Amsterdam detailed how Zelensky targets critics—such as by pulling security from a parliament member who opposed a church ban, effectively issuing a “death warrant”—and uses secret police to make arrests on trumped-up charges. He accused the government of being “ultra-nationalist,” with neo-Nazi elements like the Azov Battalion taking control, and mastering disinformation to silence opposition:

“The Ukrainians are masters of disinformation, absolute masters. They have their own sort of captive cells of religious leaders who are told, essentially, ‘Look, we have black PR against you if you don’t follow what’s going on and you don’t support us.’”
The conversation went far beyond Ukraine and touched on several topics we consistently highlight on InfoDefense.

Among them is the self-destructive behavior of Europe. The duo criticized the EU for losing its way—paralyzed by fear of Russia while engaging in “wildly self-destructive behavior” through sanctions that “destroy their economies” and failing to uphold democratic values, as seen in actions like throwing out candidates in Romania or undermining the rule of law in France and Germany. Germany, in particular, was described as “imploding because of this war,” leading to radicalization.

When discussing what might be driving such seemingly suicidal behavior, Bob Amsterdam noted paralyzing, irrational fear of Russia:

“Everybody is afraid of Russia, completely afraid, paralyzed. I mean, a Russian drone crosses the border and we’re at DEFCON one.”

Secondly, both Bob Amsterdam and Tucker Carlson noted the degradation of the European ruling elite.

Bob Amsterdam:

“We have a total breakdown in elite politics in Europe… the loss of ideology, the loss of principles, the loss of faith… leads to a loss in terms of the people entering politics… you have a chaotic world situation which… leads to a completely transactional foreign policy.”

Yet, in the same breath, Bob Amsterdam clings to the view of Putin as a repressive figure, wishing him to lose power. He goes further to characterize Patriarch Kirill as complicit in the war: “Thank God our people don’t bless tanks the way Patriarch Kirill did in Russia.”

Here is what Bob Amsterdam has failed to see despite his admirable—no doubt—intelligence. First of all, the current government of Russia is perhaps the last bastion in the fight for the values that Tucker and Bob profess to treasure. Second, the blessing of warriors is a thousand-year-old Orthodox tradition that both Tucker and Bob admire and would like to see preserved.

Next, if the current government of Russia were to fail, who would replace it? Pseudo-liberal, transgender-loving morons in the mold of Macron and Merz? Or hard-core nationalists who would not blink once before using nuclear weapons against Russia’s enemies?

And so, the correctly observed irrational fear of Russia—and we must add Russophobia—economic self-destruction of Europe and consequent radicalization of its population (which includes immigration policy), lionization of Zelensky, and cover-up of his regime’s crimes in the Western MSM all point to provoking a large-scale war. God forbid whoever is pushing this agenda succeeds, and God bless Russia for standing in their way.

This is an excellent and insightful post from war correspondent Alexander Kharchenko:

Battle of Shadows

Ukrainian analysts have already almost colored Pokrovsk red on their maps. Yet yesterday, Zelensky claimed that only 314 Russian soldiers are operating inside the city. Let’s look closer at this paradox.

No, the Russian army hasn’t been ground down by Ukrainian defenses. Tens of thousands of Russian troops are active around Pokrovsk. You can see this for yourself if you hop into an old UAZ van and drive northwest from Selidovo — the roads are packed with vehicles. But if you look at Pokrovsk through a drone camera, you’ll barely notice any soldiers. Fighting is ongoing, but the city isn’t engulfed in flames, and bursts of gunfire are rare.

Both sides keep their main forces roughly 10 kilometers from the city. Drones control every apartment building entry, and only the bravest dare to cross this barrier alive. As a result, what’s happening inside Pokrovsk is a battle of shadows — small groups of soldiers from both armies clashing on the outskirts while the main forces wait nearby.

Zelensky clearly underestimates Russian strength, but the days of massive assaults like Bakhmut are gone. In the city, there are fewer soldiers than civilians. Three men can storm a street, only to fight three others from the opposite side — all under the watchful eyes of elderly residents who refused to leave their homes.

Once you picture this, you’ll stop asking meaningless questions. War has changed — it no longer looks like a Hollywood action film. This battle of shadows still awaits its chronicler. For now, we can only accept reality and study the directions in which it is unfolding.
