In a bizarre turn of events, Trump mega donor Eric Deters has released a video in which he says he has an explosive recorded telephone conversation that will 'bring the entire Trump administration, including Trump, Marco Rubio, Susie Wiles and JD Vance down.' "This might just bring down the entire Trump administration," says Deters. "It also may end the J.D. Vance–Marco Rubio ticket after you hear the phone call that I’m gonna play tomorrow. By the end of tomorrow, I am going to play for you a phone recording that is the most explosive, most devastating information about Kimberly Guilfoyle to date." https://t.co/bzbCOmg64A

#trump #russia #pentagon - Trump Facing Mounting Questions From His Own Party Over Ukraine Intelligence Cut-Off | Scott Lucas: Times Radio

16 October 2026

“Nine senators, four of them Republicans, have written a strongly worded letter to the Trump administration to get answers.” Disruptions to Ukraine’s military satellite access raise serious questions about Washington’s reliability as an ally, says Scott Lucas.  Scott Lucas and Larisa Brown were speaking on Henry Bonsu on Times Radio. Listen Thursday and Friday 10pm-1am.

Trump melts down and ends the interview. Welker: To be absolutely clear, there is no evidence for what you're saying. Trump: There's plenty of evidence. There's tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. The same thing is happening in California. They're cheating. Welker: Do you have evidence? Trump: All I have to do is look. Welker: That's not evidence. Local officials acknowledge they're slow. Trump: They're corrupt. Just like you're corrupt. You're either corrupt or stupid. https://t.co/vUz9O0ESNN

#Trump #starlink #Ukraine - Starlink restored but Ukraine's fate still uncertain • FRANCE 24 English

15 October 2026

Can a flick of a switch really be enough for Donald Trump and Elon Musk to end Ukraine's hopes of holding out against Russia? With Kyiv already reeling from daily strikes by Russia's new motor-powered drones, the United States decision to slow SpaceX Starlink service felt immediately Wednesday when air raid warnings failed.

We'll check the status on Starlink - reportedly back up to speed, ask if Volodymyr Zelenskiy has any friends in Washington that can convince an administration that prefers diesel deals with Moscow to supporting Ukraine, and whether supporters of Kyiv have run out of road.

They're striving to weene themselves off eight decades of depending on Washington for their defense. Do they have any agency? If not, is it the end of Ukraine, the end of Nato... and even the European Union as we know it?

🚨🚨ESPAÑA DEJA EN RIDÍCULO A TRUMP🚨🚨 Antes de entrar en la cumbre de la Unión Europea, el presidente del Gobierno español, Pedro Sánchez, lanzó unos tremendos dardos contra el payaso de la Casa Blanca: 🔥"La guerra contra Irán ha costado a los países europeos más de 100 mil millones de euros desde su inicio". 🔥"La guerra contra Irán ha provocado un aumento en los precios de la energía y del coste de vida, así como una disminución de la competitividad de la industria europea". 🔥"La guerra contra Irán es ilegal e injustificada". Por estas (y otras) declaraciones de Sánchez es por lo que Trump y Netanyahu organizaron el asalto a Ceuta. Por estas declaraciones, Trump y Netanyahu pusieron a todo el fascismo español, jueces incluidos, a trabajar contra Sánchez. Por estas declaraciones, EEUU e Israel intentarán adulterar las próximas elecciones en España para que sus lacayos españoles, de llegar al poder, les apoyen en sus guerras. Por ello, y para que no ocurra lo mismo en España que en Brasil, se pide colaboración al resto del mundo para que el trumpismo-sionismo (PP-VOX) no gane en las próximas elecciones españolas. Toda ayuda es poca. Gracias.

#Starlink #Ukraine #USA - Musk suggests US govt behind any slowdown in Ukraine's Starshield system • FRANCE 24 English

15 October 2026

SpaceX boss Elon Musk said Wednesday that any disruptions reported by Ukraine in using the Starshield satellite communications system would be the responsibility of the US government, not his company. "Starshield systems are owned and controlled by the US government.

Any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS," Musk said, referring to US President Donald Trump. FRANCE 24's International Affairs Editor Kethevane Gorjestani tells us more.

Last night, a woman attended a Trump rally wearing a "Release the Epstein Files" shirt (a core promise of the Trump campaign). A ruckus ensued, and several MAGA men beat her mercilessly. While she was being beaten, Trump mocked her from the stage. Trump is a demonic force on society. I simply cannot think of any other word to describe it.

Putin doesn’t want peace. Putin wants Ukraine. Enough is enough. President Trump should rescind the diesel deal with Russia and return to the strong policies of our four years in the White House; use the Lindsey Graham Sanctioning Russia Act to impose harsh sanctions on any nation purchasing Russian energy and work with our allies to ensure Ukraine has the military support it needs to repel and defeat this Russian invasion once and for all.

13 October 29026

Donald Trump’s plan to import Russian diesel despite Western sanctions has sparked fierce criticism in Washington, including from Republicans, as high fuel prices and the upcoming midterm elections put pressure on his administration. 

His approach to the Ukraine war has also drawn controversy, with calls for Kyiv to hold elections and claims of an energy ceasefire announced without clear agreement from the parties involved.

#trumputinpeace #russia #ukraine - Zelensky says Russia hit Ukrainian power plant after Trump declared energy ceasefire | BBC News

12 October 2026

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky says Russia hit a power plant in Ukraine "immediately after" US President Donald Trump announced what he called an energy ceasefire. Zelensky said Ukraine is willing to back an energy truce if Moscow does as well, adding that it could "become a major step toward ending the war." So far, the Kremlin has not commented on the idea, which could see both sides pausing attacks on each other's energy facilities. Trump has been urging Ukraine to stop strikes on Russian oil infrastructure so Moscow can fulfil a recently struck deal to release diesel to the US and the global market.

The agreement, which the US president said would lower fuel prices, has angered members of his own party, who joined with Democrats in claiming that it was a ‘financial lifeline’ to a murderous regime and a violation of US law. https://t.co/1zeX82j6aZ https://t.co/8cdsI0Vi1H

#Russia #Ukraine #War - Largest sanctions against Russia to be approved by EU | Morning Report: TVP WORLD

12 October 2026

Main topic covered today: SNEAK PEAK INTO EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH ALEXUS GRYNKEWICH The Warsaw Security Forum kicks off today, bringing together political leaders, military commanders, and security experts from around the world. Among the high-profile guests is NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich. Our very own Adam Jasser and Zuzanna Jurek spoke to the general ahead of the event. EU TO APPROVE LARGEST PACKAGE OF SANCTIONS AGAINTS RUSSIA EU Foreign Ministers have gathered in Luxembourg to formally approve the largest package of sanctions against Russia since the start of the war in Ukraine. This comes amid an unsettling rise in hybrid attacks. RUSSIA–UKRAINE WAR U.S. President Donald Trump claims that Russia and Ukraine have agreed to an "energy ceasefire" effective immediately but provided no details. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Kyiv would support the ceasefire if Moscow did but later accused Russia of striking Ukrainian energy facilities, including a strike on a joint heating and power plant in Kharkiv that took place after Trump's ceasefire announcement. Host: Sally Jastrzębska

BREAKING: The diesel fuel Russia is now exporting to the United States at U.S. President Trump’s request may have originated in Iran, as Russian oil refineries are largely unable to produce diesel because of Ukrainian attacks. Russia has been importing most of the diesel it needs from Iran. In September, thousands of Iranian tanker trucks were spotted in various regions of Russia, including Ryazan, carrying Iranian diesel. Russia may be buying Iranian diesel and reselling it to the United States. If so, Trump’s attempt to lower U.S. energy prices and deceive American voters is putting money into the hands of Russia and Iran’s Islamic regime.

#Ukraine #Russia #War - War reaches Russia's digital backbone as Ukraine targets Yandex | Morning Report: TVP WORLD

11 October 2026

Our stories today: Russia launched devastating attacks on multiple regions in Ukraine overnight, injuring at least four people, including two children. Meanwhile, Ukrainian forces carried out another successful attack on a data center of Yandex, a Russian tech company. At least twelve people were killed and over 300 others injured in an attack on an international airport in Saudi Arabia's capital. U.S. President Donald Trump said Washington might get involved, as a U.S. citizen was confirmed to be among the victims by State Secretary Marco Rubio. Yemen’s Houthi rebels are believed to be behind the latest attack, which is the third to hit the airport this week. U.S. President Donald Trump told reporters that “Ukraine should have an election”, making the comment just hours after he criticized his counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy and called for his replacement. The latest spat comes amidst Ukraine’s rejection of Trump’s diesel supply deal with Moscow, with Zelenskyy openly slamming the U.S. for feeding Russia’s war machine.
