Ukraine launched cruise missile strikes within Russia's internationally recognised borders using British-French made Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG cruise missiles, and posted such on their general staff twitter account.

On 21 October 2025, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, in coordination with the Land Forces, the Navy, and other units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine, struck the Bryansk Chemical Plant.

A massive combined missile and air strike was carried out, including the use of air-launched Storm Shadow missiles, which successfully penetrated the Russian air defence system.

Strom Shadow/SCALP-EG is again being used for strikes on internationally recognised Russian territory, with Ukraine bragging about it publicly. Also there were more targets than just the chemical plant in Bryansk (a substation and ammunition depot were also targeted), so the statement is incorrect in it's implication that just the chemical plant was targeted.

BadEmpanada with good call-outs as usual.

Hasan Piker Loves This Serial Killer

(This is about loud and proud U.S. stormtrooper Graham Platner, who is a Democratic Party candidate for the U.S. Senate, and boasts about his history of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, 3 with the U.S. military and one with Blackwater, but also superficially tweets leftist memes and shit.)

LOL. Heard in the wild, in the context of an admission that Pissrael will never allow Palestinian autonomy: "Smotrich is just Netanyahu on truth serum".

Anyway, it seems plausible that Trump's main focus right now—and perhaps the entire reason he's yanking the leash a little on Israel—is that he wants "normalization" between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

In Jakarta, Presidente Lula da Silva criticized the US offensive under the pretext of combating drug trafficking and advocated respect for the sovereignty of countries.

Lula arrived in Malaysia this Friday (24) to participate in a meeting with Asian leaders from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean). This is the second destination of his weeklong trip through Asia. He first visited Indonesia, where he was welcomed by President Prabowo Subianto, where Prabowo offered Lula a birthday party to commemorate Lula's 80th birthday and the Brazilian-Indonesian peoples' friendship.

According to Lula, he will discuss with President Trump the US attacks on boats off the coast of Venezuela. Lula and Trump are expected to meet in Malaysia this Sunday. The US president also admitted to having authorized secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Nicolás Maduro's country.

For the Brazilian president, "if the world becomes a lawless land, it will be very difficult." Lula suggested as an alternative that the US be willing to talk to the police and Ministries of Justice of other countries.

"I think there's a lack of understanding of the issue of international politics," Lula said of Trump's statement that he will "only kill the people who are bringing drugs into his country."

“If this trend catches on, everyone will think they can invade each other's territory to do whatever they want. Where will the word ‘respect for the sovereignty of countries’ come from? So I intend to discuss these issues with President Trump.”

The Brazilian president also mentioned that the US president cannot simply say he will invade and "fight drug trafficking in 'other people's land'" without taking into account the countries' Constitutions.

“Palestinian factions begin bilateral meetings in Cairo, leading to a collective session tonight focused on achieving a national consensus program.

Hamas, PIJ, PFLP, DFLP, PFLP-GC, PNI, and Dahlan's current will participate. Fatah will not participate and is meeting separately with Egyptian intelligence to discuss the "israeli" vision for the next phase and the role of the Palestinian Authority in it.

Factions unanimously reject proposals for "international guardianship" in Gaza. Factions requested precise clarifications on the nature of "external forces" in Gaza.

The issue of resistance weapons is confirmed to be non-negotiable at this sensitive stage. Lastly, the factions meetings will discuss the Community Support Committee that will run Gaza; factions are united on the names of the ~30 Palestinians on the committee.

A delegation from the Islamic Jihad Movement (PIJ), led by Secretary-General Ziyad Al-Nakhaleh, met with the head of Egyptian General Intelligence in Cairo. Discussions focused on the situation in Gaza, securing aid entry, and stabilizing the ceasefire. PIJ affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire and demanded the occupation cease all violations and ensure aid delivery to the Strip.“

"Ukrainska Pravda has learnt that at least 250 Russian troops are in Pokrovsk

I don't get it, why does Ukraine so often leave their soldiers in locations that are clearly about to get encircled? Do the military commanders simply not care?

Venezuela has begun restoring its old armored vehicles that are currently inactive in storage. Faced with the threat from the US, they are trying to gather as much military equipment as possible, even the obsolete AMX-13 armored vehicles.

Security forces investigating price gouging in Gaza’s markets

They also captured brand new ATVs and SUVs from Abu Shabab’s crew

I can’t get archive.is to work right so I can’t link the Bloomberg article, but Ethiopia is currently in negotiations with China on converting $5.38 billion in USD-denominated loans owed to China over to yuan. This is on the heels of a similar deal China negotiated with Kenya last month.

It’s possible this is just all strategic, as China may recognize the pressure having USD-denominated debt places on these countries so they are giving them a break to reduce risk of insolvency. But certainly can’t rule out that at least a part of this is geared towards gradual de-dollarization.

China doesn’t need more USD but they are also trapped by it, not much they can do with other than loan it out.

Everyone part of this is pure evil from the depths of the abyss. NSFL. https://rdx.overdevs.com/comments.html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reddit.com%2Fr%2FABoringDystopia%2Fcomments%2F1ofeh1r%2Fjewishamerican_doctor_recounts_how_israeli%2F

Trump is probably just bragging that he was involved with Israeli war crimes even when Biden was president, but obviously this is true when he was in the WH and true for Biden when Biden was in the WH. They always ask the US for permission because they are a US client state.

Still in development: milei very likely to win the midterms lmfao

Semafor reporting:

Trump admin insiders state Trump will coordinate with Congress regarding US imperialist aggression against Venezuela “when Maduro’s corpse is in U.S. custody.”

If they’re really committing to regime change in Venezuela the shutdown is not going to last much longer . It’s likely it will end with the 60 vote threshold being bypassed they will end the shutdown with a simple majority. Or trump will throw Schumer a bone and the dems will just let this happen

always pay your guys

Evo Morales: "Paz and Lara won with the Evo vote, the vote of those outraged by their proscription and electoral exclusion. The 1.3 million spoiled votes decided the second round. It's clear that the vote went mostly against Tuto, the eternal loser, 'son' of the dictator Banzer and ally of Jeanine Añez. Lucho's government banned me."

"And the people banned the traitors at the polls. The people of the working-class neighborhoods and rural areas, since they didn't have their candidate, had no choice but to vote for Paz and Lara. But they don't give them a blank check. It's a vote with a mandate to prevent him from destroying the Plurinational State and all the great social transformations and achievements; to prevent him from implementing neoliberal measures and submitting to imperialism; to prevent him from being repressive; to prevent him from criminalizing social protest; and to govern by consulting the people."

Nazi dorks continue to terrorize Chicago. I remember someone posted a photo shoot of the guy with the white crew cut doing his best 1940's nazi impressions, but googling variations of "ice nazi guy" simply aren't narrow enough search terms to find this specific chud. Edit: This guy

And not to give the impression that they're just bumbling incompetent losers, I mean they are, but I am unfortunately still seeing daily reports of people being abducted, including entire landscaping crews and multiple people dragged from their cars.

The Venezuelan government claims to have captured a group of mercenaries linked to the CIA. State media reports that the captured men said a U.S. military exercise that began today in Trinidad and Tobago will be used as a pretext to attack Venezuela.

Movements at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas, United States. 11 C-130J Super Hercules transport/cargo aircraft have landed there today. This is significant as Dyess hosts the B-1B bombers, two of which flew very close to Venezuela recently, around 80km from mainland Venezuela. The B-1 has three bomb bays, and can carry a total of 24 AGM-158 JASSM type stealth cruise missiles, or a variety of precision guided gravity bombs/munitions.

Warning From Economists: Reckless Spending And Tax Cuts Projected To Send Danish Economy In Tailspin

A council of bourgeois economists advising Denmark's Social Democrat-led right-wing regime has issued a stark warning: The Nordic hermit kingdom's era of budget surpluses is set to end, with public finances projected to plunge into deficit by 2029. This forecast, a sharp reversal from earlier predictions of a modest surplus, points to a potent mix of unfunded tax cuts and a massive, opaque military buildup as some if the leading causes of the fiscal collapse.

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The International Olympic Committee has recommended global sports federations cease holding events in Indonesia after the country barred Israeli athletes from the ongoing gymnastics world championships in Jakarta.

Since my source got banned in America and my computer literally caught on fire, I’ve been more disconnected from the internal security operations in Gaza. In addition to targeting traitors, traders/war profiteers have been shut down and their wares confiscated/reduced in price. This is after putting out a call for “popular surveillance” based on community tips.

“Based on citizens' complaints about a number of merchants raising the prices of food commodities and hoarding them after the government announced the closure of the crossings, and based on instructions, the Supply Investigations Department, in collaboration with the Special Investigation Unit, carried out a campaign against violating warehouses and shops, during which (10) warehouses and shops were closed.

The closure included: ~

1. Warehouses of the merchant 》》Youssef Tawfiq Khaled. J

2. Warehouses of the merchant 》》Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah. Al-N

3. Warehouses of the merchant 》》Ezzat Youssef Mahmoud. K

4. Supermarket of the merchant 》》Ashraf Kamal Salem Al-Z
