Anti-Islam populist leader Geert Wilders is heading for a dramatic victory in the the Dutch general election, says an Ipsos exit poll.

After 25 years in the Dutch parliament, his Freedom party (PVV) is heading for 35 seats, according to the poll, well ahead of his nearest rival, a left-wing alliance.

But he will struggle to find parties to join him in government.

No single party can win enough seats to govern alone, and three big parties behind him have made clear they have no desire to work with Mr Wilders.

Some of Wilders' promises:
- Prevent the Islamization of the Netherlands.
- Banning the Qur'an.
- Closing mosques.

He’s also a fervent advocate of Israel. Here’s one of his words:

“If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle, between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic barbarism. There has been an independent Palestinian state since 1946, and it is the kingdom of Jordan."

Geert Wilders called Turkish President Erdogan “terrorist” in previous years.

He threatened to deport Dutch Turks who supported Erdogan.

Wilders also support Russia and Putin against Ukraine.

Hungary’s Viktor Orbán threatens to blow up EU’s Ukraine policy, Politico reports.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is threatening to block all European Union aid for Ukraine, as well as the country’s future accession to the bloc, unless EU leaders agree to review their entire strategy of support for Kyiv.

He also asks why Europe should continue to support Ukraine at a time when the United States, which has provided the bulk of military aid for Kyiv, may not be able to continue funding due to partisan deadlock over future support.

Since the beginning of the war, 650,000 men of military age have left Ukraine for the EU, writes Express, citing Eurostat data.

Of these, about 190,000 chose Germany. Eurostat estimates that up to 100,000 more unregistered people are in the country illegally.

The deployment of AI-controlled drones that can make autonomous decisions about whether to kill human targets is moving closer to reality, The New York Times reports.

WSJ: The era of total U.S. submarine dominance over China is ending

China’s rapid advancements in submarine technology and detection capabilities are challenging the US’s long-established dominance in undersea warfare and posing a threat to its crucial submarine operations in the Pacific.

The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported that recent developments indicate a narrowing gap in submarine capabilities between the two rivals, with significant implications for US military planning including for a potential Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

In one example, a new Chinese nuclear-powered attack submarine was recently observed with a pump-jet propulsion system, a noise-reducing technology previously seen only on the latest US submarines, the WSJ reports says.

Satellite images have also revealed larger hull sections at China’s submarine manufacturing base at Huludao, suggesting increased production capabilities.

The WSJ says that China has enhanced its ability to detect enemy submarines, constructing an underwater sensor network known as the “Underwater Great Wall” in strategic regions like the South China Sea and near Guam.

The report suggests that the sonar network, improved patrol aircraft and helicopters equipped to collect sonar information have significantly bolstered China’s submarine detection capabilities.
