The Durak Report September 9, Anno Domini 2026

Good news, but it's still not producing power.

EU afraid of what a Trump victory could mean.

I sense a hard American push.

Budapest to sour relations with Moscow.

Well that's just market forces, yea? Wouldn't the US respond in kind?

They talk for an hour; both are happy.

Huh. I didn't hear any talk of major violations of the hold fire from either side. Neat.

Well, yea. See below.

I usually don't share RT opinion pieces, but their summary explains modern democracy well. See below for the quote.

This is crazy, see below.

Yup. More of this. See below:

Major strike against the use of Flock style cameras.

Nothing particularly political here, just sharing it as a fun touch of history if you're into meaningful wars.

It starts talking about bringing relics of Dmitry Donskoy around to boost morale, but then goes into the legend of Donskoy.

Bold. Funny, but bold.

Anyone play EU4? Or any war-game?

When you are trying to sue for peace, what happens when you are on the losing side? You try to bail out of the war before it comes to total capitulation.

Well, Kiev, you knew you weren't exactly gaining ground, you took a risk to chase the Russians away, but it didn't work. Now you are in a worse position for negotiations.

Obviously the new peace plans will be worse for you than the previous ones.

"The risk now is not one opposition surge, but how Berlin may answer it: with smears, lawfare and deeper contempt for voters" ~ RT

Yea, it sure seems that when the people in power, typically leftists in Europe, get a challenge, they go straight to trying to dismantle democracy in their favor. We see it in the United States too.

So Canada has all these tariffs on us. We want to be able to have industries like Aluminum refining again.

So we try to negotiate with Canada,

US: "Hey, we don't really tax you much, but you tax us a lot, how bout we change that up?" Canada: "Sure, let's do it! Please don't tariff us!"

We have a deal! But…

Last minute changes and both sides, "No, deal!"

Well, guess we have to do the tariffs.

Canada: "ZORMJ!!!!!! How DARE you tariff us! We're going to put even more tariffs on you!" US: "Well, screw it then, Dairy? Motos? Alcohol from Canada? Should we go ahead and put on more tariffs?" Trump: "Nah, let's just ban their products."

To be continued!

Maybe Reform is doing something wrong, maybe they aren't, but in either case, they are gaining popularity.

What's the first thing that happens when opposition parties pop up and start to gain momentum? That's right. Reduce democracy.

Wait, wasn't RT just reporting on something similar? Yea. It happens all the time.

Meanwhile, the government turns a blind eye to boats and boats and boats of illegal immigrants being pulled into the country and given supplies and welfare.

So even if Reform is in the wrong here, it doesn't even matter, given the corruption of who's already in power.
