Bolsonaros embrace of Trump hurt him at the polls. Orban and Vucic also suffered from too close association with a very unpopular American president. It’s becoming an international trend. The Trump brand will fade even further once he becomes a lame duck.

RUSSIA’S INTELLIGENCE TRAIL IN HUNGARY A CYBINT investigation by InformNapalm and Ukrainian Militant links people involved in Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR, to preparations for public rallies in Budapest backing the Paks-2 nuclear plant. Rosatom, Russia’s state nuclear corporation, is involved in building the project. THE FILES The investigation draws on data obtained by the hacktivist group @256CyberAssault: documents, personal and work correspondence, photographs and other files connected to SVR personnel. Analysis of that archive traced links between people tied to Russian foreign intelligence and the planning of pro-Paks-2 public actions. The operation's purpose is to organize support in Hungary for a Russian state-backed nuclear project with an SVR-linked trail behind it. A rally presented as local enthusiasm looks very different when the organising trail runs through people connected to Moscow’s foreign intelligence service. Source: @informnapalm

❗️Serbia’s student-led movement has defeated Aleksandar Vučić, ending his long grip on power. For Ukraine, this removes a leader who recognized its territorial integrity but repeatedly refused sanctions on Russia, resisted stronger pressure on Moscow and maintained close ties with the Kremlin. #Ukraine

The Kremlin has officially branded NAFO as a “hacker group” whose objective is to “inflict maximum damage” against Russia. Well done, dogs!

I hope the last thing he hears is a nurse whispering in his ear, “Barack Obama was the best president we ever had.”
