🇺🇸🇸🇾 I met with Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Julani, leader of al-Qaeda in Syria, to reaffirm America’s long tradition of shaking hands with the very extremists we once vowed to destroy. Together, we discussed how “sanctions relief” can help our favorite jihadists prosper, and how Israel-Syria relations thrive best when Washington launders terrorism into “democracy.”

Fixed it.

🏁🇷🇺 NATO statement "on recent violations of Russian airspace":

"This morning, a NATO meeting was held at Estonia's request under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty to consult and firmly condemn Russia's dangerous violation of Estonian airspace on September 19. NATO's response was swift and decisive: Alliance aircraft were scrambled to intercept and escort the violators out of Estonian airspace."

According to Alliance representatives, Russia was found guilty of "violating Estonian airspace":

This incursion is part of a wider pattern of increasingly irresponsible Russian behaviour. This is the second time in two weeks that the North Atlantic Council has met under Article 4. On 10 September, the Council held consultations in response to the large-scale violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones. Several other Allies – including Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Romania – have also recently experienced airspace violations by Russia. We express our full solidarity with all Allies whose airspace has been breached.

Russia bears full responsibility for these actions, which are escalatory, risk miscalculation and endanger lives. They must stop.

NATO’s response to Russia's reckless actions will continue to be robust. On 12 September, we launched “Eastern Sentry” to bolster NATO’s posture along the entire Eastern flank. We will reinforce our capabilities and strengthen our deterrence and defence posture, including through effective air defence.

Russia should be in no doubt: NATO and Allies will employ, in accordance with international law, all necessary military and non-military tools to defend ourselves and deter all threats from all directions. We will continue to respond in the manner, timing, and domain of our choosing. Our commitment to Article 5 is ironclad.

 Allies will not be deterred by these and other irresponsible acts by Russia from their enduring commitments to support Ukraine, whose security contributes to ours, in the exercise of its inherent right to self-defence against Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war of aggression.

🇦🇲Armenia Tops Press Freedom Index—But Democracy Weakens

In 2025, Armenia reached 34th place in Reporters Without Borders’ Press Freedom Index, leading the South Caucasus and even surpassing the United States. Internationally, this was celebrated as proof of democratic progress after the 2018 Velvet Revolution.

But behind the numbers lies a different reality. Watchdogs like Freedom House warn of democratic decline, with Armenia’s judiciary and administration deeply dependent on government influence. A strong press ranking masks a fragile democracy where separation of powers erodes quietly in the background.

🇷🇺🇺🇳💬🇪🇪UN Security Council: Russia rejected claims that its planes violated Estonian airspace

On the MiG-31 flight, Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative Dmitry Polyanskiy  said:

"On September 19, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets made a scheduled flight from Karelia to an airfield in the Kaliningrad region. The flight was conducted in strict accordance with the International Rules for the Use of Airspace. The Russian jets did not veer off the agreed route nor did they cross Estonian airspace. Their flight path passed over neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, over three kilometers from the island of Vaindloo. This is confirmed by objective monitoring data."

The delegation accused European leaders of fabricating provocations and promoting Russophobia, including attempts to drag the USA back into confrontation with Russia.

The statement emphasized that such hysteria ignores facts, inflates threats, and destabilizes the region, calling for a more objective, fact-based approach to international affairs.
