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)

Claus Mathiesen wrote that the USA could punish Ukraine in at least four ways: by stopping intelligence sharing and Starlink, halting other countries' purchases of American equipment, for example through PURL, as well as cutting off purchases or deliveries of spare parts for, among others, F-16s. He wrote that it would have to be shown how far Donald Trump would go and claimed that the damage to the relationship with Europe had already occurred. #USA #Ukraine #politik (translated)

"I truly regret the American decision and it is not at all relevant to hold any elections in Ukraine as long as there is not at least a ceasefire, but preferably peace."

Harry Nilsson (Brooklyn (New York), 15 juni 1941 – Agoura Hills (Californië), 15 januari 1994) was een Amerikaans componist, pianist, zanger en gitarist. Bijna al zijn werk werd onder de naam Nilsson uitgegeven. Aan het eind van de jaren zestig vertolkte hij met succes het liedje "Everybody's Talkin'" en in 1971 brak hij door met het album Nilsson Schmilsson. In de avonduren werkte hij bij een bank en overdag schreef Nilsson liedjes voor muziekuitgevers. Het lukte hem aanvankelijk niet om als artiest bekend te raken. Zijn composities werden echter wel opgenomen door bekende muziekgroepen en artiesten, onder wie The Monkees, The Yardbirds, Lulu en Blood, Sweat & Tears. Hij schreef tevens drie liedjes voor Phil Spector, die gespeeld werden door The Ronettes en het Modern Folk Quartet. In 1966 kwam een compilatie van zijn eerste werk uit met als titel Spotlight on Nilsson. https://hvdommelen.nl/n/Nilsson.html
