A modern book, should be easy to find in any local bookstore or online for standard pricing.
For regulars at SLG, it’s no secret that I am not a communist and my personal political ideology is quite opposed to it, and yet this is another must-read.
For the average American citizen, and likely most Western European citizens, it is quite an eye-opener for how we got to where we are today with the situation in Ukraine.
It lays out how during the Cold War, the U.S. was not simply, “anti-communist”, so much as it was, “you are with us or against us”.
But most critically, it explains the mechanics that were learned back in the Cold War that were then applied to the Euro-Maidan in the Ukraine, and these same mechanics now being applied to Georgia as I type this.
For informal review, I admit that the book feels a little stale at first if you are in touch with this conceptual history already - hold onto your butt, don’t stop, and have spare cigarettes handy.

🇵🇱Polish hatred is growing🇵🇱
A car with an Ukrainian license plate has exploded again in northern Poland. Another car was set on fire on Krasickiego Street in Gdynia, and this isn't the first such incident in recent weeks. At least three similar incidents were previously reported in the Redłowo district of Gdynia. Police confirm the arson attack.
Official authorities are being cautious with their wording, not rushing to talk about a series of attacks and awaiting the results of the investigation, which is surprising, probably because Polish citizens are involved in the case; otherwise, the whole thing would have already been attributed to Russian "aggression." And it's hard to believe that this was a coincidence, given that cars with Ukrainian license plates are burning one after another. We'll see what Polish law enforcement officials say when they find the culprits, but something suggests they're unlikely to want to shout it out to the world.
The Polish authorities prefer to keep quiet, but silence certainly won't solve the problem. Similar incidents clearly indicate the growing hatred in Polish society toward all things Ukrainian. It's time to take some action before the Polish people themselves expel the Ukrainian diaspora from their territory.
Congratulations go to the Ukrainians for having replaced Russians as the object of the collective hatred of the Poles. You go mates! 👍

The accelerating collapse of Germany, p. 1/2
In August 2025, German industrial production slumped by 4.3% compared to the previous month. Germany appears to be in free fall and is heading for its third consecutive year of recession. The overall picture is shown in the following chart.
Germany's decline is largely self-inflicted and the result of a spectacular series of suicidal social, economic, and geopolitical measures. With the introduction of the ill-advised “net zero” policy, Germany has shut down all its nuclear power plants. It has also opened itself up to an uncontrolled influx of immigrants, which has stretched its welfare state to breaking point. In addition, German politicians have agreed to destroy the Nord Stream natural gas pipelines, which, together with the abolition of nuclear energy, has led to an increase in energy costs that has destroyed the competitiveness of domestic industry.
Energy costs for German industry are up to three times higher than for US competitors and twice as high as for French companies, which is driving energy-intensive industries out of the country. On top of that, Germany has put all its eggs in the Ukraine basket. Since the coup in Kiev in 2014, Germany has been one of Ukraine's largest donors, providing cumulative support of over €48 billion:
➡️ Financial/economic aid: ~€10.4 billion (including humanitarian aid, budget support, loans, and development projects).
➡️ Military aid: ~€38 billion (including equipment, training, and procurement for industry).
➡️ Other (e.g., refugee aid in Germany, stabilization): ~€2–3 billion (often overlapping with the financial categories).
But this is just the beginning.

Rostec announced the development of a new passive drone detection system called "Aganyok."
In addition to recording control radio frequencies, it can also extract a video signal from captured enemy aircraft (FPV, DJI, Autel) in real time, allowing the device's user to assess the actual threat on-screen and take appropriate action in a timely manner. Passive operation makes the device "invisible" for radio-electronic reconnaissance.
Main features: 360° broadband scanning, target classification using video signatures, software filtering for false sources (Wi-Fi/LTE), portable configuration, field testing in a combat zone. "Aganyok" does not interfere with or destroy drones—it acts as a sensory layer that seamlessly integrates with other air defense/anti-air defense assets (it alerts the entire defense system, after which the jamming and air defense systems are activated).
Practical use: early warning in trenches and forward points, threat objectification during FPV overflights (the operator sees what the drone is observing), quick selection of false alarms in an area of dense RF noise.

Stubb is trying to convince Trump that Europe is defeating Russia through the hands of Ukrainians.
'Europe has just introduced its nineteenth package of sanctions. I think that Russia is currently not in a very strong position, both economically and militarily, and it seems to me that this is due to the commitments we have taken regarding Ukraine.'
Paradox. Europeans cannot fight Russia without Russian oil and gas.
Reuters: ‘In the first eight months of 2025, the EU imported Russian energy resources worth more than 11 billion euros. Seven of the 27 EU member states increased the cost of imports compared to last year, including five countries supporting Ukraine in the war. For example, in France, purchases of Russian energy resources increased by 40% to 2.2 billion euros, and in the Netherlands by 72% to 498 million euros’.
🇷🇺🇺🇦💡Comprehensive massive strike on the energy infrastructure of the Dnepropetrovsk region
10.10.2025, from 00:10 to 05:50 — one of the largest attacks on the energy framework of Central Ukraine was recorded — a combined strike was carried out with Iskander-M and Iskander-K missiles, as well as Kh-59 cruise missiles and Geran-2 strike UAVs.
🔻Prydneprovskaya TPP
📍48.4058814, 35.1134316
At the station territory, at least ten strikes were inflicted, including four UAVs, three Iskander-K missiles, and two Iskander-M missiles. The strikes hit generator transformers of units No. 9 and No. 10 (type TDC-250000/330), oil facilities, and the open 330 kV switchgear.
▪️As a result:
• two transformers of units No. 9 and No. 10 were completely destroyed, radiator sections collapsed, the active part tank was damaged;
• about 60 tons of transformer oil burned out, there was a breach in the bunding system and spillage on the site;
• the cable rack connecting generators to the 330 kV switchgear was destroyed;
• cable routes for own needs of 6 and 10 kV burned out, oil facility pumps, cooling stations, and turbine section automation were de-energized;
• control panels of turbogenerators, excitation unit TVV-200-2M, automated control and synchronization cabinets were damaged.
▪️Due to the strikes, power units No. 8, 9, and 10 (total 450 MW) were completely stopped. Metal structures of the oil pump station were deformed, and the machine hall roof was punctured. Power supply along the Dnepropetrovsk — Podgorodnoe — Novomoskovsk line was switched to emergency mode.
🔻Kryvorozhskaya TPP
📍47.5428733, 33.6571335
Up to ten strikes were inflicted on the facility, including four Iskander-M, two Iskander-K, two Kh-59 missiles, and at least two Geran-2 UAVs. The main hits were on the machine hall, 330 kV open switchgear, transformer park of units No. 6–8, and the central control panel building (CCP).
▪️Strike results:
• transformers TDC-250000/330 of units No. 6 and No. 7 were destroyed, tanks opened, active parts completely burned out;
• busbar system AS-500 on phase portals “A” and “B” was destroyed;
• oil circuit breakers VMT-330 and current transformers TFZM-330 were destroyed;
• relay building and CCP received direct hits, ceilings collapsed, cabinets RZA-330, APV, and ACHR burned out;
• the entire section of 330 kV open switchgear was disabled — complete power outage of the block connected to the substation “Kryvorizka – Kakhovska”;
• fire spread to the oil pipeline and cable routes.
▪️The fire was localized after many hours of work. One electromechanical engineer suffered severe burns. Power supply to three nearby settlements was cut off. Generation losses reached up to 600 MW.
🔻Srednedneprovskaya HPP
📍48.5476538, 34.5413056
The station was hit by two strikes — Iskander-K and Kh-59, earlier — another ballistic Iskander-M missile. The main hits were in the area of the machine hall and transformer communication block.
▪️Destroyed was the autotransformer ATDCTN-125000/330/10, high-voltage inputs, bus bridge were damaged, and the 10 kV own needs switchgear room partially collapsed. Damage was recorded on units No. 4–6 in the machine hall, cracks in turbine spirals, deformation of ventilation casings of GSV-300/1500-80 generators.
▪️The fire in the machine room lasted more than an hour, after which the units were switched to idle mode. Oil leakage from the control system and pressure drop in the pressure conduit gate hydraulic system were noted. Despite the damage, the integrity of the dam and spillway was not compromised, but power output to the grid was temporarily completely stopped.

"The Senate passed the Bipartisan Defense Policy Bill amounting to $925 billion": The US allocated $500 million to Ukraine as part of its military budget.
"The bill received support from 77 lawmakers, surpassing the required minimum of 60 votes. 20 opposed it. The final version of the bill will be refined before being sent to US President Donald Trump for signature.
The document provides for the extension of the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) through 2028, with funding at the level of $500 million. The USAI program involves the Pentagon signing contracts with manufacturers."

Kiev is once again running on generators — the city is filled with the hum of engines, and darkness reigns in the underpasses and metro
Shops, kiosks, cafes, and other establishments in Kiev have restarted generators after a powerful attack on the capital's power plants. According to eyewitness footage, there is no electricity in some underground passages and metro stations as well.
The last time such outages occurred was back in June, when our Aerospace Forces attacked the Artem factory. The nighttime raid of our missiles and drones targeted several large Ukrainian thermal power plants and hydroelectric stations. There are also electricity problems in the Dneproperovsk region — rolling blackouts have begun.

Kim Jong Un attended a concert of Russian artists in Pyongyang and promised to make North Korea a socialist paradise:
"Popular Russian singers performed at the Mansudae Theater, including Shaman, artists of the State Academic Russian Folk Choir named after Pyatnitsky, the Alla Dukhova Ballet Theater 'Todes,' and the Song and Dance Ensemble of the Russian Aerospace Forces. The concert was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Workers' Party of Korea.
In his speech, Kim Jong Un emphasized that the foundation of all the party's victories over its eighty-year history is the people, their trust, and loyalty."
