🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺 The EU is sending another €2.86 BILLION ($3.3 billion) to Zelensky... The funding will support air defense systems, radars, electronic warfare equipment, and ammunition, with €60 billion of the overall package earmarked for defense through 2027. The EU says its total assistance to Ukraine has now surpassed €231 billion ($267 billion) since Russia's full-scale invasion. Writer: Samuel t.co/OTBrnsW0GE

🇾🇪🇸🇦 These are the men giving Saudi nightmares... Houthi fighters, cheeks full of khat, discuss their next targets: Americans, Israelis, and Ethiopians. What the hell did the Ethiopians do? 😂😂😂 Writer: Michael t.co/aqeBehRkPO

🇪🇪🇷🇺 NATO's Rutte, reassuring Estonia's PM: "NATO is with you in the air. Allied fighter jets at Ämari help protect the skies. On Sept 1, Turkish jets scrambled from Ämari after a drone crossed Estonia's border. And that is the mission doing its job." Writer: Michael t.co/VSglXnggk0

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia’s big plan to move beyond oil is running straight into Houthi missiles... The kingdom wants $100 billion a year from foreign investors by 2030, but the attacks are making that a MUCH harder sell. This week, the bosses of ExxonMobil, Shell, BP, and others were dropped from a major energy summit in Riyadh. The city’s main airport, hit 4x in a week, is shut until at least Oct 17. Investors don’t need a country to collapse to get nervous. A closed airport and kids staying home from school are enough. And there’s no quick fix. Saudi’s own allies in Yemen are split, and Trump still hasn’t decided whether to help. The longer this drags on, the harder it gets to sell Saudi Arabia as the Middle East’s safest place to do business. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal

🚨🇮🇱 UPDATE: More images coming in from the explosion at chip manufacturer Intel’s Kiryat Gat facility in Israel. The fire is now under control but officials are dealing with nitrogen trifluoride, a hazardous material. Still no word on what caused this. Source: Israel Fire and Rescue Services / Writer: Jamie

🚨🇷🇺🇪🇺 NATO Sec-Gen Rutte was asked: "Is Russia foolish enough to consider attacking any NATO country?" His response: "We don't think so, and we see no imminent threat against NATO territory... if we were to see a buildup, we would react to it." It's only hybrid warfare... for now.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 China is buying American soybeans again, and U.S. farmers will be glad to hear it. It’s China’s first large order since the Trump-Xi summit last month. State buyers grabbed 8-10 shiploads, somewhere around 520,000-650,000 tons, set to sail from December. And farmers had been waiting weeks for it, after China went quiet during its big holiday. With this order, China has now bought about 14 million tons this season, more than halfway to the 25 million tons the White House promised. Still, it’s only state buyers doing the shopping. Private Chinese companies are sitting it out, since soybeans got left out of the tariff cuts the 2 sides agreed on. With the midterms 3 weeks away, every shipload is going to matter in farm country.

🇮🇹🇷🇺🇺🇸 Italian PM Meloni casts doubt on the Russia diesel deal. She says it risks legitimizing Moscow while it continues to fight Ukraine. I’d say she’s mostly scared that the EU’s relationship with Trump is quickly headed south, while U.S.-Russia ties seem to be growing stronger. It’s been a weird couple of years.

🚨🇮🇱 BREAKING: There's been an explosion and hazardous substance leak at an Intel plant in Kiryat Gat, Israel. There are reports of 3 people "seriously injured." No word on the cause yet... Writer: Jamie t.co/tYTv4hp3Ic

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Despite spending $83 BILLION on defense last year, Houthi missiles are STILL hitting Saudi airports and oil facilities... The Kingdom has invested heavily in U.S. Patriot and THAAD missile defenses, yet repeated attacks from Yemen have exposed their limits. The problem? Saudi must defend an ENORMOUS territory against missiles and drones coming from multiple different directions. The Houthis are also combining ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones to overwhelm defenses. Now Riyadh faces a difficult choice: escalate a war it cannot easily win, or negotiate with the group attacking its most vital infrastructure... Source: CNN / Writer: Samuel

🇮🇱 Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar: “Pope John Paul II asked fmr. Israeli FM Ariel Sharon: ‘What is the difference between the Holy Land and the Promised Land? Holy to all 3 religions, promised to the Jewish people.’” So, if I promised my kid I would buy her a car and then lost my job… I guess she could just go and take one, right? It was promised! Promises are broken all the time… normal folks don’t kill people over one broken by someone else, more than 3,000 years ago. Writer: Jamie t.co/sySBJjacSN

🇫🇷 Okay, French kids… you got me! This whole paint-in-the-eggs thing is next-level heinous and absolutely brilliant! Maybe they don't need to go back to school 😂 Writer: Jamie t.co/ebXXoLxtbT

🚨🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Aramco's HQ suffered EXTENSIVE DAMAGE in yesterday's attack... The destruction may be far WORSE than Saudi officials initially suggested. A fire spread across several floors of the oil giant's headquarters in Dhahran. Saudi's Energy Ministry had previously described the blaze as “limited.” Despite the damage, Aramco's operations are reportedly continuing, with employees working from home and some functions transferred to international offices. The attack comes as Yemen's Houthis intensify strikes against Saudi's most important infrastructure. Source: Reuters / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is threatening to hit Iran even HARDER as the attacks on oil tankers escalate... Trump warned the U.S. is “going to do a number on Iran,” while claiming American forces control the Strait of Hormuz and are keeping oil shipments moving. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia and Yemen's Houthis are exchanging fresh strikes. Oil is up, tankers are burning, and nobody knows for sure what comes next... Writer: Samuel t.co/Q2VfihI8GC

🇺🇸🇮🇱 Huckabee tries and FAILS to compare the FlyDubai incident to 9/11... “This was just one of those amazing things… We don’t know absolutely confirmed, but he has told some of the investigators that his goal was to fly it into the terminal at Ben Gurion Airport. That would have been catastrophic.” But it wasn’t… nearly 3,000 people died on 9/11, NONE in the FlyDubai incident. Why doesn’t he just become an Israeli citizen already and serve that country he loves so much!? Source: NY Post / Writer: Jamie

🇫🇷 I can definitely appreciate THIS type of protest! Instead of setting sh*t on fire, these kids are using their talents to highlight what France will lose if it doesn’t invest in it's children. Maybe there is still hope for them... Writer: Jamie t.co/48kiM620bv

🇧🇷 Brazilian presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro: “Those who think I’m a radical on public security haven’t seen ANYTHING yet. I’m already discussing ideas... because it seems to me that El Salvador doesn’t go far enough.” Brazil definitely has its problems with crime, and it's refreshing to hear that he will address that. I remember stories from friends who visited parts of Brazil and were told not to leave the hotel, just in case... Writer: Samuel t.co/9Mbo00Xl7b

Anyone with a brain knew that if Trump went into war with Iran, he would deplete his interceptors and fk up the global energy market, and that it would all backfire on Ukraine He was warned, he ignored, and here we are

🚨🇮🇷 The IRGC released a video of the container ship they just sank, the GFS PRIDE Reportedly, it was carrying 2,500 containers, when it struck a naval mine in the Strait of Hormuz! There goes my Temu order... 😂 Writers: Michael, Daniyal t.co/GvIWSPLkAD

🇮🇱 Israeli FM Gideon Sa’ar: “Here in Jerusalem is the beginning of everything, the foundation of foundations, the focus of the longing and dreams of all generations. This is the city where King David established his capital, our capital, more than 3,000 years ago, around 1000 BC.” By that logic, Constantine the Great established Constantinople in 330 AD for HIS people. Shall the Romans go over and try to reclaim Istanbul? It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire for over 1,100 years… just saying. Romans... mount up! 😂 Writer: Jamie t.co/WeXLHpSRah

🇮🇱🇺🇸 "Israel First" U.S. Amb. Mike Huckabee: "The reason [people in Gaza] died, was often because Hamas took their civilians and put them in harm's way." Did that happen in some instances? Probably. But 75,000+ times??? You're fking delusional bro... Writer: Michael t.co/PeKpnrgaSC

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli Defense Minister Katz says if Hezbollah attacks, Lebanon will lose MORE land... “If Hezbollah joins Iran in an attack on Israel, it will suffer a severe blow and lose additional territory in southern Lebanon, in the areas of Nabatieh and the Litani River, which will become part of Israel’s permanent security zone. The IDF is prepared to carry out the maneuver.” Something tells me they are going to annex that territory anyway. It is identified as part of the ‘Greater Israel’ project. You’re only fooling yourself if you think that isn’t their ultimate goal! Writer: Jamie t.co/Fih6bhmosX

🇺🇸 Trump’s grip on Ohio’s working-class voters may be beginning to slip... A decade ago, he pulled union workers and blue-collar families away from the Democrats in Ohio. Now, with the midterms less than 3 weeks away, Democrats and union leaders think they can win some of them back. The reasons are easy to see: rising prices, the Iran war, and some voters growing uneasy about his rhetoric. In a poll last month, just 27% of Americans approved of how he’s handling the economy. Trump was in Youngstown, Ohio, just this week, and it’s easy to see why. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee, on if the Iran war is damaging Trump ahead of the midterms: “If it is, it’s because Americans are oblivious to the threat that the Iranians hold to America.” Or maybe they’re tired of having been lied to for 40 years about a threat that may, or may not exist. Writer: Jamie t.co/17aMTE2a2N

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump says the U.S. may have gone TOO FAR in killing Iran's top leaders. He says the campaign against Iran's leadership has complicated efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement. “We might have gone too far with the leaders because we don't know who the hell we're dealing with anymore.” Maybe he should have listened his advisors and not Israel...

🇺🇸🇮🇱 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee: "The Israelis are unbelievably resilient people." It's easy to praise Israeli resilience while conveniently ignoring Palestinian suffering. Resilience is not a moral justification for occupation, displacement, or the destruction of civilian lives... Writer: Samuel t.co/R0VC79RJCG

🚨🇮🇷🇦🇪 Iran says a container ship carrying 2,500 containers just SANK in the Strait of Hormuz. It’s been named as the GFS Pride, a Singapore-flagged ship run by a UAE-based company, which had its tracking signal off for about 10 days. Nobody’s said yet what sank it or what happened to the crew, but Iran is warning boats and fishermen to watch out for floating containers. They're on a rampage right now...

🚨🇺🇸 Kamala Harris says there's been "overt cheating" in the U.S. election process: "I believe we are in a very difficult environment. AI contributes to, for example, vast amounts of mis- and disinformation. There have been overt attempts to deny fair and free elections. As we all know, in the United States, there's been overt cheating happening around the election process... Whether it be the purging of the voter rolls or redrawing districts outside of the season when that would happen." Her and Trump both agree on the cheating; they just disagree on who's being cheated! 😂 Writer: Michael t.co/t8jmDY0l8N

🇺🇸🇮🇱 U.S. Amb. to Israel Mike Huckabee: "Groceries and fuel prices are important, but Americans should ask themselves: Do your children have a future if Iran gets nuclear weaponry?" Apparently, struggling to afford food and fuel becomes a secondary concern the moment a politician invokes a hypothetical nuclear threat. What's YOUR priority? Writer: Samuel t.co/gdlHqwauEc
