I believe that from Lithuania's perspective this is not an attempt to escalate the conflict – it is done for deterrence purposes and to ensure that Lithuania has more options, taking into account the risks and various situations that may unexpectedly arise, to respond and address our challenges together with NATO allies who have such weapons and would be willing, in the worst-case scenario, to cooperate and intervene for the benefit of Lithuania, NATO, and Europe. #Lietuva #NATO #branduolinisginklas (translated)

Fráňa Šrámek warned in a shared post by Radio Free America about a serious security crisis. He wrote that after an hour-long phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, the Russian president announced confirmation of collaboration between their administrations and intelligence services. According to Šrámek, discussions about the future of Ukraine took place without the participation of Ukraine or European countries. He claimed that Trump's envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff pressured Ukraine with the threat of completely halting the transfer of American intelligence information. He also noted that FBI Director Kash Patel planned a trip to Russia in mid-October, where he was to meet with the Russian counterintelligence agency FSB, while the U.S. government and FBI did not comment on the details. Šrámek wrote that American lawmakers had urged Patel to cancel the trip in connection with the phone call on October 9, warning against Russian espionage and operations influencing public opinion. He described Trump's actions as treachery and claimed that the American president was handing Ukraine, its European allies, and the United States over to the Kremlin. He stated that the United States had been taken over by an international criminal syndicate and would need help. #bezpečnost #Zrada #Ukrajina (translated)

GeoTales described a scenario where several agricultural regions would be simultaneously affected, while dam production would decrease, trade routes would be disrupted, and populations would experience exceptional heat. It specified that the term "super El Niño" referred to an episode of about +2 °C or more in the Niño 3.4 area, without constituting a universal category comparable to that of cyclones. According to GeoTales, the bulletin published on October 8 by the World Meteorological Organization forecasted an average anomaly of about +3.7 °C in this area for the period from October to December, with a peak around December. It also reported that NOAA assessed the probability of reaching at least +2.5 °C over three months at 83% according to its RONI index, mentioning an episode likely to exceed those observed since 1950. It emphasized that the two agencies used different methods, but their figures indicated an exceptionally intense event. GeoTales explained that observations showed increased heat beneath the surface of the Pacific, a deeper thermocline, as well as anomalies in westerly winds and precipitation in the central and eastern parts of the ocean. It reminded that El Niño is a natural phenomenon and estimated that it would be too simplistic to attribute this episode solely to climate change, while adding that background warming could exacerbate its consequences. To illustrate the possible impacts, GeoTales mentioned Guatemala, citing a video published the day before by LIMIT Media. It wrote that in the "dry corridor" that also crosses Honduras and El Salvador, the lack of rain and crop losses were already undermining the food and income of families relying on maize and bean cultivation. #ElNiño #ChangementClimatique #Météo (translated)

The Truth claimed that last week individuals led by the security services of Russia and Belarus had penetrated Latvian territory and carried out diversions, which were reportedly documented on video. The author reproached the President of the State, Edgars Rinkēvičs, for not convening a meeting of the National Security Council and informing the public about what had happened and Latvia's reaction. The Truth also criticized most Latvian media for portraying the incident as insignificant. The author described Rinkēvičs as incapable and unwilling to respond to threats to national security, and claimed that the president was informed about Sprūda's harmful activities and the corruption and negligence of the State Border Guard, yet did not take action. The Truth pointed out that the border guard lacked sensors, cameras, and drones, but there was no accountability, adding that the commander of the National Armed Forces publicly stated that this issue did not concern him. The Truth questioned whether, in the event of war, Rinkēvičs would also fail to respond and whether the border guard and the commander of the National Armed Forces would not seek accountability from each other. The author expressed hope that Latvia would have a new president next year who would not be elected with Lembergs' support and would consider national security. #Latvija #Drošība #Politika (translated)

Experts predict that the United List minority government could be a scenario for forming the next government, which would allow avoiding some disagreements with coalition partners, but would require agreeing on support in the Saeima and clearly justifying the intended decisions. #mazākumvaldība #politika #Latvija (translated)
