Japan is now bankrolling weapons development for conflicts thousands of miles from its borders. Think about that for a second. By investing in anti-Shahed drone systems developed by Ukraine, Tokyo is shifting from humanitarian aid to military cooperation.

"Perestroika" was supposed to fix the Soviet system. Instead, it became a goldmine - just not for those it was "meant" to help. Here are a few Soviet-era jokes about it:

At the UN Security Council, Russia's representative called out European members for refusing to acknowledge the 21 students killed in Starobelsk.

For those of you who have been complaining about too many red lines (and too many human lives spared by Russia) - this is the kind of escalation Moscow will certainly not tolerate. Please circulate as appropriate.

A few glimpses into modern space diplomacy for you as we celebrated the Cosmonautics Day on the 65th anniversary of Gagarin's space flight.

Kallas finished school in 1995, four years after the collapse of the USSR, so Peskov’s remark raises a broader point: how much do background and education shape today’s political narratives?

May 9th - the Day of Great Victory! Exactly 81 years ago, at 2:10 a.m. Moscow time, the voice of Yuri Levitan echoed across the airwaves, carrying a message the world would never forget: the German army had unconditionally surrendered. The Great Patriotic War was over. Victory had been won!

Every Russian house has a domovoi. The house spirit. Yes, I'm serious. My grandmother talked to hers, left milk out for him. Warned me not to whistle indoors because it would anger him. And she lived in a Soviet apartment block, not some village hut.

Sanna Marin, former Finnish PM, whose main “achievement” was getting Finland into NATO, continues warmongering three years after leaving office. According to her, evil Russia can plant drones anywhere so the French, Portuguese, Spanish are not safer than Finns. Wait, what?

Nuclear history repeats itself in strange ways. Fuchs and Greenglass justified their actions in the wake of WWII by saying no one power should monopolize dangerous knowledge.

RIP Rafe Pomerance, a lifelong campaigner for a better planet with a livable climate. Lung cancer took him at 79, but not before he said this at a meeting of the West Virginina Highlands Conservancy last November - quoting Joe Hill: "Don't mourn. Organize." (1/2)

EU Economy Commissioner Dombrovskis: EU doesn't believe this is time to ease pressure on Russia, as Secretary Bessent has done with second extension already. In fact, Russia is the one gaining from Iran war and increase in fuel prices. We need to strengthen pressure on Russia.

He has got to be kidding but he’s not because MAGA gulps this down like a cold beer. The goal is to shut down Medicare as we currently have it, by the way. It’s in the Kevin Roberts Heritage Foundation plan to destroy our safety net programs. #pinks #MAGAsucks #bluecrew

Repeating the same message doesn’t build trust, it creates fatigue. After the first touch, prospects need proof: case studies, testimonials, and credibility. Great marketing evolves the conversation, not repeats it.

Seriously. This is not in any way, shape, or form normal for anyone, let alone the President. Falling asleep surrounded by people, bright lights, and press AGAIN is completely unacceptable. What further proof of being mentally and physically unfit do Republicans and Jake Tapper need?
