Putin hävdar att ukrainsk mark tillhör Ryssland av historiska skäl. Utmärkt! Då tillämpar vi samma logik på Ryssland.
🇯🇵 Japan får tillbaka Kurilerna.
🇨🇳 Kina tar tillbaka Vladivostok.
🇫🇮 Finland återfår Viborg och Karelen.
🇩🇪 Tyskland återtar Königsberg, dagens Kaliningrad.
🇹🇷 Turkiet kan göra historiska anspråk på Azov.
Absurt? Japp!
Om historiska gränser ger rätt att invadera andra länder kan halva världen börja marschera över sina grannars gränser.
Historia ger ingen äganderätt till självständiga stater. Ukraina tillhör inte Ryssland, oavsett hur många gånger Putin upprepar sin historieförfalskning.

Our conversation with the American side in Oslo was accompanied by three challenges. These were the shortage of air defense, restrictions on Starlink/Starshield, and restrictions on intelligence sharing from the United States of America. I am grateful to the Americans and our team that two of these issues – intelligence and Starlink/Starshield – have been resolved as of today.
The issue of air defense remains. There is progress on missiles for Patriot systems, but things are moving very slowly. More slowly than Russian missiles fly. You cannot say, “Yes, we will give the missiles to you,” and then not deliver them for a month or two. It simply does not work that way.

🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.
“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”
So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”
MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.

This isn't new. Doug Ford cancelled Ontario's Starlink contract in March 2025, during that year's tariff fight. Ontario also banned U.S. companies from bidding on provincial contracts at that time. It did not happen this week. broadbandbreakfast.com/ontario-wont-r… globalnews.ca/news/11067542/…

Congratulations, @LDoerkson, on your election victory.
I look forward to working with you as Premier to get more homes built, unleash our full potential as an energy superpower, and build a stronger British Columbia and a stronger Canada for all.
Thank you, Premier @Dave_Eby, for your service and all we’ve accomplished together. Major infrastructure projects launched. Export markets unlocked. Jobs protected.
I wish you and your family all the best in this next chapter.

Sunshine: "Well, Canada is proof that tariffs work because they already have them. They impose tariffs on our dairy industry. They say that once you reach a certain amount of imports..."
Phillips: "We've never reached the quota that triggers those tariffs. And guess who negotiated those quotas? President Trump."

PM Carney reacts to trump’s statement today that,
“Canada has been ripping us off for years. We’ll have that settled pretty soon. They are willing to give us anything at this moment.”

66% of Americans support Ukraine, while Russia is supported by only 3%.
Following the will of their own people—and with elections on the horizon—Trump and his incompetent administration should have flooded Ukraine with weapons and imposed the harshest possible sanctions on Russia, while applying pressure on every front.
So why are they doing the exact opposite?
Go ahead—share all your theories about "Agent Krasnov," incriminating KGB material, Freemasons, lizard people, and so on in the comments!

The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficient. This matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and truly helped – members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President. Protecting lives matters.

Congratulations, President @LulaOficial, on your re-election in Brazil.
The relationship between Canada and Brazil has flourished under our partnership. Let’s seize this opportunity to make it even stronger, together — to create major new trade opportunities, protect the environment, and build greater prosperity for both our peoples.

Elon Musk has attempted to close the issue with Starlink in Ukraine. But here is a tale in 7 tweets that suggests it’s far from closed. The throttling back of speed limits on Starlink terminals occurred around 14 October so let’s go back to then in his timeline. 🧵1/10

I am following with concern the grave humanitarian situation in Yemen, particularly in the city of Taiz, where the population is suffering from a lack of food, water and medical care. I make a heartfelt appeal for hostilities to cease and for the Yemeni people and all the peoples of the region to be guaranteed the right to live in peace.

Obama: "That well-known evil empire Canada. That historical adversary of ours. Canada! *laughs* It's your neighbor. It's a few minutes' drive over the bridge! These are the people who gave us Martin Short and maple syrup. They are the nicest people! And someone we've gotten them so mad."

From India to Canada to the Middle East to Europe, countries no longer know whether they can trust America.
The consequences could be disastrous.

NO, you did NOT get Greenland. You don’t own Greenland, and you never will!
And let’s get the facts straight: No oil has yet been discovered in Greenland.
Oil exploration drilling is not expected before 2027 at the earliest, and even then, it can only proceed if the Greenlandic authorities grant the necessary approvals.

If crippling Starlink and Starshield was Elon Musk's decision, the implications are enormous. It would demonstrate that SpaceX is an unreliable defense contractor, whose critical services can be disrupted at the whim of its CEO.
No private individual should wield this much unchecked power over another country's national security. Governments must be able to rely on contracted defense services without fear of political or personal interference.
Nationalization is an option worth considering, not as punishment, but to ensure government control over strategically indispensable infrastructure. At a minimum, stronger oversight and alternatives to SpaceX are urgently needed.

Stealth legend. Super-sized delivery.
This F-117 arrived inside a C-5M Super Galaxy. Hats off to the 512th Airlift Wing and the restoration team for getting it @airandspace museum-ready!
Now on display at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center: A Lockheed F-117A Nighthawk
The F-117 is the world’s first true operational stealth combat aircraft. The Museum's F-117 was restored for display by Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, which included demilitarizing the aircraft and restoring it to its final operational appearance.
ALT A black F-117 Nighthawk stealth aircraft is displayed inside an aviation museum hangar. The hangar has a high arched ceiling with white beams and skylights. A few other aircraft with visible decals and designs are situated in the background.
