The Durak Report September 1, Anno Domini 2026

1. Recent News

1.1. Key Zelensky staff arrested over money laundering to bailout ex-minister

Seems Ukraine is having an internal struggle between corruption and anti-corruption forces.

1.2. Right-wing influencer gets ICE’d’: Milo Yiannopoulos deported from US

I wonder how many Democrats are defending him…

1.3. Millions turn to Russia for medical care they can’t get at home

Russia seems a step behind in a lot of places, but medically, they sound promising.

1.4. ‘Let’s stop being suckers for Ukraine’ – Polish MEP

When is Poland going to finally say enough is enough?

1.5. US could nuke Iran amid deadlock – ex-counterterrorism adviser

More ex-official talking like they matter.

1.6. ‘It makes no sense’ for Moscow to attack NATO – Finland’s president

Even Finland doesn't believe Russia will attack NATO.

1.7. TikToker stabs three on livestream in Amsterdam – media

The article says "alcohol does this," I say, "TikTok does this." See below:

1.8. [[https://www.rt.com/news/644826-nepal-girl-rescued-flood-video/][WATCH six-year-old girl rescued after being trapped under rubble in Nepal

floods]] I usually stick to politics, but we can use a feel good video from time to time.

1.9. Iceland votes against resuming EU accession talks

Giving up sovereignty is a big deal, and the EU sounds like a bad idea these days anyway.

1.10. Venezuela’s interim president addresses US oil deal

Venezuela reasserts ownership of its national resources, and that the us oil deal does not change that.

1.11. Niger military mutiny: What we know as Russia’s Africa Corps helps

Part of their military rebelled, and the Russians are helping suppress it.

1.12. Countries linked to slave trade owe reparations – UN

The UN is nuts, no wonder it's failing.

1.14. Ukrainians turn anger on Kiev for storing explosives near their homes

Uh oh, that sounds like terrorist defense strategies.

1.15. Woman goes on stabbing spree in Times Square

I said it before, people be nuts. Well, she won't be anymore. She was thankfully put down before being released on 12 months probation.

1.16. Trump welcomes Russia at G20 despite EU tantrum

I'm telling ya, we're ready to make peace with Russia. See below.

1.17. Who are Epstein-linked ‘perpetrators’? US lawmaker names names

Thomas Massie finally listed names like he's been promising forever! See below.

1.18. Algeria to impose death penalty for arson

I'm still against government death penalty, but arson should be taken seriously.

1.19. Pentagon brings on Grok and ChatGPT for military use

Seems like a bad idea. I was false-flagged blocked on X with no recourse, which also blocks grok. If they can't handle customers, how can they handle military?

1.20. JD Vance stumps for Michigan GOP; swipes at El-Sayed for wife comments

Abdul: "You're grandparents wouldn't approve of you marrying an Indian!" Vance: "You have ties with terrorists!" Both paraphrased, but srsly, what kind of back and forth is this?

1.21. Michigan Democrats at convention: Calls to unify, fight against Trump

There's only two years of Trump left. The Democrats need to start talking about why they are good. There's only so much smearing will help you if you're empty of policies aside from smearing your opponents.

2. Extra words for which nobody asked

2.1. Millions turn to Russia for medical care they can’t get at home

Well, like I already said. Russia has been boasting a lot about medical this and that, it's not easy to tell how accurate anything from the medical industry is, but it seems that they are keeping up with the collective west in many areas, and surpassing in some.

If we can stop this silly anti-Russian phase, we may be able to come across some amazing medical breakthroughs with increased cooperation.

2.2. US could nuke Iran amid deadlock – ex-counterterrorism adviser

This is just silly. Why would the US nuke a country that's already been defeated? And in this specific case, what could nukes possibly accomplish?

The enemy is hidden. Nukes don't magically change that. Besides, the economic choke hold will force collapse without the US firing a single weapon at this point.

These people going on about nukes are either crazy or full of it.

2.3. TikToker stabs three on livestream in Amsterdam – media

I'm only half joking above. The reality is that people are crazy. Some of them are animals. This results in fame obsession, and infamy is a quick path to fame.

2.4. Russia moving towards resolving Ukraine conflict – Putin

I believe this. Well, the headline. The article is mostly about all the bad things Ukraine did in order to justify the war.

"Moscow is making every effort to end the hostilities as soon as possible" ~ Putin to Modi.

This makes sense. With Iran in shambles, African tensions flaring up, losing South American influence, and arctic issues, Russia is ready to move on.

They're ready to rebuild defense in case of NATO incursion, they are ready to rebuild their economy, sell fuel to the Europeans again, (who, by the way, desperately need it at this point), and, I believe, strengthen Russian-American ties.

The medical advancements in Russia seem to be impressive, and we should be working together on that.

The arctic is a place where Russia could use America's help, and America could use Russian icebreaker ships.

There's the new space race as Trump promises nuclear rockets to go to mars.

And, of course, given how resilient the Russian economy has been during all these sanctions and war efforts, they should have a massive boom as sanctions fall away.

Russia controls what they want at this point anyway, so now peace is the main goal.

2.5. Trump welcomes Russia at G20 despite EU tantrum

See? More signs point to peace. At least between the US and Russia.

"Moscow said the two discussed Russian-US cooperation on financial issues and coordination within the G20." ~RT

We are ready to work together. We need the Ukraine war to end.

Heck, if that war wasn't happening, would there even be an oil shortage related to the Iran war?

2.6. Who are Epstein-linked ‘perpetrators’? US lawmaker names names

Massie has been saying for a very long time he was going to do this.

Recently he was calling people Israel shills for asking him to actually release the names he said he was going to… Which was weird.

Well, the names are, apparently, finally out! But there's a catch…

We already knew about all these people so… Yea, Massie was bs all along.

2.7. NYPD shoots, kills knife-wielding woman who stabbed two people, one fatally, in Times Square

This is the second report I'm sharing about this incident.

It's such a weird situation. There's a woman with two knives poised at cops.

The cops seem to be all standing around with no worry what-so-ever.

No one yelling at her, just one person suggesting a taser.

They deploy a taser, she keeps charging, she gets shot.

I don't know, the whole video is just weird.

the NYP says it has graphic content, but it's blurred anyway so… not really.

Though, the article says that they spoke for four minutes. She was clearly psycho.

The video must have started after that, but it's still weird. Maybe even more so since she was threatening them the whole time.

But like I said before, thankfully this threat is no more. We don't need to her released back on the streets in a few days.

If we aren't going to secure them in a medical facility, if we aren't going to secure them in a prison facility, they need to be put down.

I'm against state sanctioned death penalty, however, I am not against lethal force being used against those who threaten to or harm the lives of others.
