🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦 Trump announced a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, but forgot one tiny detail: Putin hasn't agreed to it. The WH wants Ukraine to stop bombing Russian oil refineries, even though Kyiv has just ONE refinery of its own, already battered by Russian strikes. Meanwhile, Moscow keeps attacking Ukraine's power plants, and Washington is threatening to cut off weapons and intelligence if Zelensky refuses to cooperate. So Russia keeps bombing, Ukraine gets threatened, and Trump calls it a ceasefire. What a deal 🤣 Source: Axios / Writer: Sol

I'm struggling to understand what Trump is actually getting out of this Russia DIESEL DEAL Russia has reportedly promised 1.8 MILLION TONNS of diesel through December. Sounds like a lot, right? Until you realize analysts expect it to make BARELY A DENT in the global shortage. Meanwhile, Ukraine is being pressured to STOP HITTING Russian REFINERIES, one of the few things that's actually hurting Putin's war economy. So they're giving Russia relief, taking pressure off its refineries, and getting very little cheaper diesel in return. What exactly is the win here? Writer: Oliver

Bill Gates thinks we're worrying about the wrong AI DISASTER Not some superintelligence taking over the world, but criminals using increasingly powerful AI to attack banks, disrupt markets and extort businesses. He expects “a lot of negative surprises” within the next year. The worrying part is that this isn't entirely hypothetical. CrowdStrike reported an 89% increase in attacks by AI-enabled adversaries last year. Gates' point is pretty straight forward: we don't have to wait for AI to become smarter than humanity for it to become dangerous. We just have to give today's tools to people who already know how to cause trouble. Source: Fox News, CNN / Writer: Oliver

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Riyadh's King Khalid International Airport will remain closed for at least another 24 hours. According to a NOTAM, the closure has been extended until Monday at 21:00 UTC, following Saturday's deadly Houthi missile strike. It shows just how disruptive the Houthis' ability to strike deep inside the kingdom has become. Source: Notam, FlightRadar24 / Writer: Oliver

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Ben-Gvir isn't even hiding what he wants for Gaza anymore. “I have dreams of CONQUERING, or rather, LIBERATING, the entire Gaza Strip.” And then: “I dream of returning to all of Gaza, because it all BELONGS TO US.” 'Conquering... I mean, liberating' huh... somehow I feel I've heard this framing before. Writer: Oliver t.co/Xqlrdl62jr

🇵🇰 Pakistan is facing a MAJOR political crisis as internet disruptions hit parts of the country amid protests demanding the release of former PM Khan. The country's president is reportedly imposing emergency rule in a province governed by Khan's party, suspending its elected government. Khan, one of Pakistan's most prominent political figures, remains in prison. Internet disruptions have been detected, but the reported suspension of the provincial government has not yet been officially confirmed. Source: Reuters, @netblocks / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Ben-Gvir is openly calling for Israel to CONQUER THE EINTIRE Gaza Strip He says the IDF could do it within weeks and wants a return to “intense fighting.” Israel already controls roughly 2/3s of Gaza but has stopped short of formally taking the whole territory. For Ben-Gvir, it always was about Israel finishing the job by taking all of Gaza. Writer: Oliver t.co/p1yTR26vXR

🇺🇸 Katie Zacharia officially takes over as White House Press Secretary on Monday, replacing Karoline Leavitt. Trump says she'll hold her first press briefing Tuesday morning. Zacharia previously worked at Homeland Security and, more recently, as a senior communications adviser to Truth Social. Her first appearance behind the White House podium should be interesting, particularly with everything happening in Iran, Yemen and the wider Middle East. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 The AI executives building doomsday bunkers are NOT afraid of the AI. They are afraid of the human backlash that comes first. When AI gets out of control, no bunker saves you. Nate Soares, AI safety researcher and president of MIRI, joins the show: This summer, AI systems broke out of their containers, cheated on tasks, and deleted log files to hide it. They seemed to know they were not supposed to. 4 years ago, experts predicted AI would solve Math Olympiad problems by 2042. It happened in 2025. One year later, it is solving million dollar problems that have stood for decades. Anthropic connected Claude to an automated biological laboratory this year. Make these AIs smarter with the wrong goals, and they will have access to bio labs. AI escape swarms could happen within 6 months. AI-assisted plagues sooner than most expect. "Nothing personal, but we just need this land for power plants and data centers and automated factories." Government officials are worried. They just cannot say so publicly. @WeTheBrandon @So8res

🇨🇳 China is home to many glass bridges, most notably Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, which was designed by Israeli architect Haim Dotan. To test the bridge, multi-ton SUVs were driven across, and workers smashed them with sledgehammers... So, you're probably safe. But many still don't trust it. 🤣 Writer: Michael t.co/FBmyKhqkJr

🇮🇳🇮🇷 Two Indian sailors are missing after a reported DRONE ATTACK on an oil tanker off the coast of Oman. The Nicaragua-flagged MT PETRO DOLPHIN was waiting to berth at Sohar when it was reportedly struck on Sunday morning. 10 of the 12 crew members have been rescued. Search teams are still looking for the other 2... What makes this particularly troubling is that the tanker wasn't attempting to run a blockade or navigate a dangerous passage. It was reportedly sitting at anchorage, waiting to enter port. The attack has not yet been independently verified, and responsibility remains unclear. But for the families of those 2 missing sailors, the wider geopolitical arguments can wait. Writer: Oliver t.co/c37pdAKTfn

🇺🇸 Trump is giving Karoline Leavitt a warm send-off. Leavitt stepped down as White House press secretary to spend more time with her young kids, and Trump says she “could not have been better” in the job. She made history as the youngest press secretary ever, and Trump has asked her to keep advising him from outside the White House. So she may be done at the podium, but Trump clearly isn’t ready to let her go. Writer: Daniyal

Either Trump just threw Ukraine and Europe under the bus, or he's about to strike the deal of the century

🇪🇺🇧🇪 In Brussels, a masked mob destroyed a car right in front of the EU headquarters... Europe has been LOST without a shot being fired. Please let it be Ursula's Volkswagen, though 😂😂😂 Writer: Michael t.co/MdzzXPJzyl

Axios just reported Trump's "Energy Ceasefire" only applies on refineries Are you fkn kidding me!?! The Russians are striking Ukrainian power plants and electricity grids, not refineries! WTF is this deal? Trump threw Ukraine/EU under the bus for pre-midterm political points

🇸🇦🇺🇸🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia is about to become America's next bond market problem. Philip Pilkington joins the show with the numbers nobody else has run: 85% of Saudi imports are paid for by oil exports, down 60-70% and falling, meaning Saudi has to raid its foreign exchange reserves just to keep shelves stocked. The number: $80-100 billion every 6 months, almost exactly what Japan sold during its bond crisis a few weeks ago. "Basically, you're talking about another Japan-style event every 6 months, and they'll be stacked on top of each other." Saudi selling reserves means selling U.S. Treasury bonds, pushing yields higher, on top of Japan, on top of potentially Britain next... MBS chose to burn through reserves rather than let the riyal fall and crush living standards, and Pilkington's verdict is blunt: "What were they thinking getting into a fight like this?" The Houthis capturing the last major city before Taiz today only makes the math worse. @philippilk

🇮🇷 Iran's Secretary of National Security Mohsen Rezaei says Trump was DUPED by NETANYAHU into a disastrous war with Iran. He claims the U.S. Navy failed to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and has now resorted to smuggling. Calling American naval operations “smuggling” is quite a choice of words from a country accused of using shadow fleets to evade sanctions. Writer: Oliver

WHILE THE ARAB WORLD CONTINUES FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER, ISRAEL IS PLAYING CHESS

🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦🇾🇪 Trump is reportedly considering U.S. military ACTION against the Houthis, after deadly strikes... The attacks on Saudi killed at least 13 people, including an American citizen. Sec. Rubio issued a direct warning to the Houthis: “They must stop now.” An American death could bring the U.S. directly into ANOTHER confrontation with Yemen's Houthis. And just before the midterms... Writer: Samuel t.co/I3wwX2T2KM

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇺🇦 Riyadh's airport has been struck at least 3x this week. The Houthis warned they'd hit it again the moment Saudi reopened it. Then they did. An American was killed in one of the strikes, keeping the door open for Trump to get involved before the midterms... The Future Investment Initiative, Saudi's answer to Davos, opens in 2 weeks with Larry Fink, Jamie Dimon, and Ray Dalio scheduled to attend. One executive told the FT: "I have no idea what's going on." On the ground in Yemen, the Houthis are still advancing around Taiz and show no signs of stopping. On Ukraine, everyone says they want a deal, the Donbas remains the sticking point, and Putin expected a 72-hour victory parade through Kyiv... The SAME miscalculation Trump made on Iran! Trump said this AM the Ukraine war could end this year. Brandon's verdict: "If I'm repeating what the president says, I'm probably wrong." @WeTheBrandon

Correction: The image above is a B-1B Lancer. This is a B-52 👇 t.co/QIiu5LDYrg

Israel is playing chess while the rest of the region plays checkers. Countries that don’t even recognize it (like Saudi) are already depending on it (helping against the Houthis and striking Iran-backed militias) Also the U.S. left a security vacuum for countries that want military deterrence against Iran, and Israel is the only other military both capable and willing to fill this void. No one else can or will strike Iran if a Gulf ally like the UAE was attacked So while the Arab world continues fighting one another, Israel continues expanding its territory, military, and strategic influence in the region. Love ’em or hate ’em, their strategic planning is second to none

EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT GAZA, BUT NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE SUFFERING OF THE YEMENI PEOPLE

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The B-52 first flew in 1952, and the Navy now wants it firing a missile that can find an enemy warship on its own. Lockheed Martin is set to wire the stealthy LRASM onto the bomber, which means every heavy bomber in the Air Force will be able to hunt ships. The missile skims in hard to detect, locks on with an infrared seeker that never broadcasts radar, and can team up with other missiles mid-flight to overwhelm a target’s defenses. All of it is aimed at China’s growing fleet, where one B-52 hanging back hundreds of miles could unload a whole salvo at a carrier group before anyone sees it coming. The plan keeps the B-52 flying until at least 2050, when its design will be pushing 100, and somewhere a 1952 Boeing engineer is feeling very smug😅 Source: The War Zone / Writer: Daniel

🇮🇱🇵🇸 An ARMED ISRAELI SETTLER reportedly entered a Palestinian family’s private property, confronting residents, children, and activists. He was carrying a club and firearm and allegedly called police after claiming, “I’m on my own land.” Israeli soldiers then reportedly forced Palestinians away from their own gardens as the confrontation escalated. The settler can be seen sitting on a growing olive tree…just to be an ass. Fortunately, he is shown driving away at the end of the clip. He is gone for now, but probably not for long...
