Zelensky has made his choice, now America must make its own

The US-Ukraine rift goes beyond Trump: Washington's interests increasingly clash with Kiev's demands and Europe's ambitions.

...For a while, this approach worked, given the United States maintained limited involvement in the conflict, Ukraine continued fighting with varying degrees of success, and the EU largely picked up the bill. Meanwhile, the diplomatic maneuvering around Trump continued, with European leaders attempting to draw Washington back into the anti Russian coalition as a fully committed participant...

"...given the US maintained limited involvement in the conflict..." What a complete joke of an article.

Russia ready to boost energy supplies to Europe

Russia is ready to increase energy supplies to Europe, including under existing long term contracts, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told a plenary session of Russian Energy Week.

"We are ready to provide larger supply volumes," Novak said. "It was not us who rejected affordable and stable energy supplies from Russia. Europe made that decision for political reasons. We remain ready to continue fulfilling our contracts."

The deputy prime minister noted that contracts with Europe are long term, pointing out that gas supply agreements remain in effect until 2035-2040.

"A unilateral refusal to take supplies under these contracts is a decision not based on the existing legal and regulatory framework," Novak emphasized. "It is a politically motivated decision that does not serve the interests of their own consumers."

Police confiscate robot that groped 16 year old girl, probe whether young men were at the controls

German authorities opened an investigation into possible sexual harassment after a robot controlled by two young men touched the buttocks of a 16 year old girl and made thrusting movements toward her, police said.

Police in the western city of Cologne responded after the incident overnight Saturday to Sunday in which the robot's suspected 16 year old owner and a 19 year old companion were said to have filmed the alleged assault. They were said to have streamed the incident and commented on it online...

"...after a robot controlled by two young men touched the buttocks of a 16 year old girl and made thrusting movements towards her..." is not a sentence I thought I'd ever read when I imagined the future as a kid.

Israeli settlers assault, hospitalize Washington Post correspondent during West Bank pogrom

Masked Israeli settlers violently assaulted and hospitalized Washington Post photojournalist and US citizen Heidi Levine while attacking Palestinian olive harvesters near Abu Falah in the occupied West Bank on 16 October, hurling stones at farmers and setting olive trees ablaze as they rampaged.

"I was attacked, pushed to the ground. Luckily I had my flak jacket and helmet, otherwise I probably wouldn't even be here, because they just kept kicking me and kicking me," Levine said from her hospital bed, where she is in stable condition.

Israeli soldiers made no attempt to rein in the attackers, witnesses said, instead pulling up alongside the still masked settlers and firing tear gas at the Palestinian villagers. "The army did nothing to stop the settlers," said independent Israeli journalist Oren Ziv, who witnessed the attack.

Holy shit… Trump puts Zelensky on blast, says this entire situation in Ukraine is the fault of Obama, and escalated when Russia annexed Crimea in 2014.

As I’ve been saying the entire time, everything changed in Ukraine in 2014, which is coincidentally when the preemptive pardons of both Hunter Biden and Fauci begin. The same exact time they began offshoring USAID gain of function research to the biolabs in Ukraine. This is when the Obama administration took complete control of Ukraine and turned it into a Deep State proxy and racketeering playground.

Trump confirms Zelensky is standing in the way of peace, and the only way we can achieve a deal is if he is not in the picture.

This has to be the most blunt Trump has ever been about Obama’s corruption in Ukraine. Trump is gradually taking the public down the rabbit hole.

Eventually, we will have to address the crimes committed by the Obama administration in Ukraine. Both Trump and Putin want justice.

Katie Zacharia "transitioning out" of WH Press Secy. role

President Donald Trump signaled a public end to Katie Zacharia's brief tenure as White House press secretary on Friday, suggesting her role may not be a fit for her just days after a heavily criticized briefing room debut.

Speaking to reporters on the South Lawn before departing for a rally in Georgia, Trump revealed that he told Zacharia earlier in the morning that she should reconsider her position as his top spokesperson.

While the president praised her loyalty and insisted she had been mistreated by the media, he openly expressed doubt about her suitability for the podium, stating he did not believe she needed the stress of the job and conceding that "maybe it’s not for her."

LOL, she didn't even have the time to fully "transition" into the role and she's already "transitioning" out.

The two officials met on Thursday on the sidelines of the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) summit in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Wang said achieving peace and reconciliation in the Middle East remained a cornerstone of Chinese foreign policy, stressing that a two state solution was the only viable path toward resolving the Israeli Palestinian conflict...

According to an anonymous police source quoted by French journalist Amaury Brelet, police in Paris are prioritizing the defense of the Élysée Palace and its surroundings, but are running short of ammunition and being forced to fall back. The police prefecture is reportedly scrambling to resupply officers. "It's a disaster," the source said.
