Vláda debilů.
Příliš tvrdé?
Nemyslím si to.
Premiér, kterému ministr obrany zatají důležitou informaci, a ministr i premiér pokračují, jako by se nechumelilo?
Možné.
Ale jenom mezi debily.

19 locations hit in Ukraine last night. Like every night for nearly five years.
9 dead, nearly 40 injured.
You don’t negotiate with Russian evil- you defeat it.

What is Russian air defense doing? This is what it is doing. Not being particular efficient, and once again hitting Russian residential buildings in Omsk while trying to repel a Ukrainian drone attack. #Russia

Jenom opětovné potvrzení ruského přístupu a toho, že slib či slovo pro ně vůbec nic neznamená. Tak to je a podle toho k nim přistupujme.
Dominik @hasek_dominik už ruským médiím nejspíše odpovídat nebude.

CNN has released new police bodycam footage showing the moments before a Russian bomb hit an underground school shelter in Komyshuvakha on November 2. At least 55 people were killed. CNN's investigation found evidence of a second strike after people sought refuge. #Ukraine

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people.
This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?”
“Not NATO, but similar to NATO.”
“Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?”
They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty?

Where Russian soldiers died, according to Russia's own death register.
Almost every death act in the Rosstat register names a place of death. I matched those places to settlements and put them on a map. 389,719 of the 438,228 war-death acts (89%) name a place in Ukraine or in the Kursk, Belgorod and Bryansk oblasts. Of the rest, 10,007 died elsewhere in Russia, mostly in hospitals, and 36,485 acts give no place of death, most of them from 2022 and 2023.
Donetsk oblast: 248,686, 64% of the deaths with a place. Pokrovsk raion: 127,931, a third of them. Pokrovsk hromada alone: 44,951, of which 36,525 died in 2025. No other hromada comes close: next are Ocheretyne 15,982, Velyka Novosilka 15,608, Hrodivka 15,081 and Bakhmut 14,167. Kursk oblast: 19,476 (8,825 in 2024, 9,951 in 2025), 12,479 of them in Sudzha raion.
The deadliest hromadas each year follow the main Russian offensives: 2023: Bakhmut 6,336, Marinka 2,905 2024: Ocheretyne 11,141, Marinka 7,435, Avdiivka 6,484 2025: Pokrovsk 36,525, Velyka Novosilka 11,164, Hrodivka 9,360 2026 to August: Pokrovsk 4,266, Huliaipole 3,846, Lyman 2,433
By settlement: Avdiivka 8,757, Kreminna 7,937, Robotyne 6,244, Makiivka (the village near Kreminna in Luhansk oblast) 6,120, Klishchiivka 5,552, Bakhmut 5,307. Deaths are named at 2,903 settlements.
The early years are thin on the map, not in the register: 87% of 2022 acts and 28% of 2023 acts give no place of death. 2026 is still filling in, as only about a third of deaths reach the register within three months.

Trump has done many rotten things to the American republic. Lying about elections — and causing millions of people to distrust legitimate results — may be the worst.

A short story about the night before this fateful game that made me the world champion 35 years ago today. The evening of November 8, I received two phone calls from two former world champions, both named Mikhail. 1/3
On November 9, 1985, thirty-five years ago, Garry Kasparov became world champion after a Herculean effort against Anatoly Karpov. Scenes from the Soviet television archive: bit.ly/2IlYPv5

❗️Ukrainian long-range drones struck the KINEF oil refinery in Kirishi, Russia's Leningrad region, overnight on November 9. Fires were reported at the Surgutneftegas-operated facility, with preliminary accounts indicating strikes on several primary crude-processing units. KINEF is one of Russia's largest refineries, with design capacity of roughly 20-21 million metric tons of crude annually. The facility has been hit repeatedly this year. #Ukraine

Ukraine's military intelligence has published findings on Russia's new Geran-5 K5-K, a jet-powered attack drone it says resembles a small cruise missile. HUR reports a cruising speed above 450 km/h, a 1,000 km range and a 90 kg warhead. Investigators identified 93 foreign electronic components, including 52 from US firms, 10 from China and 10 from Switzerland. The examined drone also contained a thermobaric warhead and a Chinese-component turbojet engine. #Ukraine

Pan senátor nás k ničemu nutil nemusel, tuto opravu jsem dal kensvému textu moc rád.
Jsem rád, že nijak nepopírá svou trvalou podporu politikovi, který se pokusil ukrást volby, zavinil útok na Kongres s 5 mrtvými a tvrdí, že Rusko Ukrajině “nic moc nedělá”.
Nebezpečné dezinformace, které rozkládají společnost, tolerovat nehodlám. Donutil jsem Seznam zprávy k omluvě. ✅
A ano, stále si stojím za tím (protože neměním názory jak ponožky, což chápu, že je v „liberálních“ kruzích nezvyklé), že byl DT lepší volbou než paní Harrisová (ty uvozovky ke slovu lepší si zase doplnili úderníci ze Seznamu).
Zkrátka pozitiva převažují. Já neměním své názory podle křiku osazenstva českého twitteru, na to si už konečně mohou zvyknout.
A pokud jde o příklady konkrétních kroků, tak důraznější ochrana hranic, racionálně nekompromisní postup proti migrantům, výrazný pokles nelegálních přechodů. Tlak na Evropu, aby převzala odpovědnost za vlastní obranu. Odmítnutí „klimatické” politiky, která ničí hospodářské zájmy vlastní země. Odmínutí řešení identitárních nesmyslů a šílené woke politiky, kterou razí jeho oponenti. A k tomu navíc podpora a masivní rozvoj umělé inteligence...

Tohle je dezinformace, opak je pravdou. Sazby hypoték neurčuje repo sazba @CNB_cz, ale odhad inflace za cca 3 roky. Zvýšením sazeb ČNB inflaci brzdí a tak proti autonomnímu vývoji hypotéky zlevňuje.
Přímým konkurentem hypoték je u bank výpůjční potřeba státu. Čím víc si bude půjčovat vláda, tím dražší budou hypotéky. Premiér at proto krtizuje sám sebe, za drahé hypotéky může rozhodně mnohem víc než ČNB.

I am not Sabatini “supporter”. I am his boss. I carefully looked at the data back in 2022, invited him for a talk, saw his science, and hired him. Anyone could have done the same.

Bodycam footage from Ukrainian police officers in Komyshuvakha.
After the first Russian airstrike, they went down into an underground shelter together with civilians. Then more Russian bombs struck the shelter. Their bodycams kept recording until the very end 😢
At least 37 (as of now!) people were killed that day.

We are not inviting Putin to Kyiv. They came to us without an invitation in 2022. But that’s not why there’s no point in inviting Putin to Kyiv. It’s because he won’t come. The same goes for inviting me to Moscow. What Russia is doing is destructive. It’s simply spitting in the face of the whole world that wants this war to end. That’s why no one will support going to Moscow.
As for a phone call, Russia will use it as an excuse to avoid any further meetings. And we understand this game. It leads nowhere. It would just be a very formal, dry phone conversation where I would once again have to listen to a history lecture from the leader of the Russian Federation, rather than hear about real steps to actually end the war.
If we want to end the war, we have to meet and take the first step: a ceasefire.
