Trump administration excludes UK, France and Baltics from NATO meeting.

Trump’s Pentagon is treating NATO like a loyalty contest, organising an exclusive meeting in Poland to map out the alliance’s future while shutting out critical heavyweights.

While core defenders like France, the United Kingdom, and the Baltic states are left out in the cold, Washington has invited only a handpicked group of favorites: Poland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Finland, the Netherlands, and potentially Denmark.

By dividing allies into “in” and “out” camps, Washington is fracturing Western unity and doing putin’s dirty work for him. When you sideline your most capable partners under the guise of strategy, you aren’t strengthening security—you are sabotaging it, and the only person smiling is sitting in the Kremlin.

🔥 St. Petersburg, October 1.

A massive fire has engulfed the historic Miller mansion near St. Isaac’s Cathedral.

The flames have already spread across 2,000 m² and reached a neighboring building. The roof has collapsed, and reports say sounds resembling explosions were heard.

125 firefighters and 25 vehicles are on the scene.

Quite an evening in the center of St. Petersburg.
