Now it gets interesting in Russia 🇷🇺:

A Russian bot forgot to switch its account from MAGA to "Ukrainian." 😀
This is how Russians simulate public opinion and pressure politicians into adopting a pro-Russian stance—leading them to believe that this is what their electorate demands. That is why it is important to express your position openly.

BREAKING : A major blow to the Kremlin’s disinformation networks ! Around twenty accounts belonging to English-speaking influencers linked to the Russian information manipulation set Storm-1516 have been suspended by X. Among them were nine accounts that disseminated disinformation targeting the French elections.

Historian Sarah Paine: When Putin dies, there's no democratic election. It's a free-for-all.
Nobody in his network knows who takes over, and many Russians have military training, so civil war is possible. Recovery might take 10 years, a number I'm making up. 1/

I never forget my father (a German Jew who survived Buchenwald) saying to me in 1981, when antisemitism/racism gets into the middle classes/intelligentsia, that's when you have problems.
That's what happened in Nazi Germany.
This post and many others show it is happening now.
“What is Zionism and how do we confront it”.
That was the title of an event held by the University of Glasgow’s Islamic Society this week.
80% of British Jews identify as Zionists; only 6% do not. That ‘confronting’ a core part of their identity is being promoted on university campuses is hardly going to alleviate their concerns about their safety.
The event speakers included barrister Franck Magennis, who campaigned to de-proscribe the antisemitic terrorist group Hamas, and University Rector Dr Ghassan Abu-Sittah, who has been reported to the General Medical Council over his extremist rhetoric.
The event was apparently also promoted by the Glasgow University Justice for Palestine Society, which has reportedly attempted to ban Zionists attending university societies by designating Zionism as a “racist ideology”.
The weaponisation of anti-Zionism to intimidate and harass British Jews is spreading rapidly across university campuses.
Zionism is simply the belief that Jews have the same right to self-determination afforded to all other peoples of the world under Article 1 of the UN Charter. Denying them that right is racist. It is high time that university administrations recognise that, and take a stand against racist hate.

The fact this video exists (i.e. someone recorded it) should be a FAR larger concern for Russia than losing this radar station. IYKYK.

☝️ Kaja Kallas names the top 3 Soviet tactics Russia still uses today
First: Make demands and ask for things that were never yours.
Second: Issue ultimatums and threats.
Third: Just wait. Because there will always be people in the West willing to offer you something you never had before.
Sounds pretty accurate, doesn't it?

Anyone planning to attend a demonstration in support of Palestine Action in the vicinity of the US Embassy on Saturday, 31 October will face arrest as part of a robust policing operation.
Expressing support for the group is an offence under the Terrorism Act following its proscription in June 2025, a decision upheld by the Court of Appeal in June 2026.

Europe: The Demographics Special 🇪🇺
A Portuguese X user caused a stir online with a sharp and witty observation:
“500 million Europeans expect 300 million Americans to protect them from 120 million Russians—who, in turn, cannot defeat 40 million Ukrainians—all while failing to realize that they themselves are under the sway of 2 billion Muslims, who claim to be persecuted by 9 million Israelis.”
The arithmetic checks out. 📊

BREAKING: 🇱🇹 Two men suspected of attempting to set fire to Starlink equipment in Vilnius, Lithuania, have been arrested in Germany, Lithuanian authorities announced.
The suspects, both in their 20s, hold dual German citizenship alongside Turkish and Serbian citizenship, respectively. Investigators believe they travelled to Lithuania shortly before the attempted arson and left immediately afterwards.
Lithuanian investigators say the operation was premeditated and suspect the men were also linked to attacks targeting Starlink equipment in Poland and Bulgaria. They are not believed to have personally carried out the Polish arson, but investigators suspect their involvement.
The men face serious terrorism-related suspicions, including forming or participating in a terrorist group and committing terrorist acts. The most severe penalty for forming or participating in such a group in Lithuania is 10–15 years in prison.
The attempted arson targeted premises belonging to Lithuanian company Delska, where SpaceX operates and stores Starlink equipment. Lithuanian politicians have linked the incident to Russia.
Authorities in Lithuania are cooperating with counterparts in Germany, Poland and Bulgaria. A decision on whether the two suspects will be transferred to Lithuania has not yet been announced.

Police seized cameras, mobile phones, laptops, external hard drives and identity documents during the investigation.
The case is being investigated in cooperation with Poland's Central Bureau for Combating Cybercrime.

Russia has lost its most modern fighter jet
At the Akhtubinsk airfield, a Russian multi-role Su-57 fighter caught fire and burned completely during an engine start.
This is already the fourth Russian Su-57 loss in 2026.
Two were damaged in the spring at the Shagol airfield, and another was shot down by “friendly” fire on July 23 in the Moscow region.
Production, meanwhile, amounts to a maximum of four aircraft per year.
