Russia’s Digital Draft – Reservists Called to Frontlines

A generation of men has been decimated in both Russia and Ukraine. Russia’s desperate need for additional manpower has led to a new change in law that will instantaneously ship reservists to active war zones.

Russia’s defense ministry is seeking to send reserve troops to active war zones both domestically and abroad without the need for an official declaration of war. Russia never officially declared itself to be at war despite three years of battle. Moscow insists that its military is preforming “counter-terrorism” operations rather than waging a war against its neighbor. The Kremlin does NOT view Ukraine as an enemy. The entire conflict began after the Minsk Agreement—which would have provided the Donbas the ability to vote—was ignored. Ethnic Russians living in the region were forced to abandon their language and culture. Putin repeatedly stated he views Ukrainians as brothers.

If Putin were backed into a corner where he was forced to declare a declaration of war, the enemy will not be Ukraine. Ukraine is akin to the wayward son who lost its way under Western neocon influence.

The new law provides Russia twith he ability to send smaller groups of reservists to the battlefield rather than organizing full-scale mobilizations. There is no escaping the draft. Russia implemented a digital draft system that contains the names of all citizens in a centralized government database. Men are not permitted to cross the border or attempt to flee the draft. The government’s online portal, Gosulugi, sends out instant notification to men when they are selected to serve.

Men must report for duty within 27 days of receiving notification, or they’re deemed a draft evader. Evaders will have their driver’s licenses instantly revoked, and they cannot move within the system to any capacity. “People are summoned supposedly to verify their personal data, but in reality they’re immediately drafted,” said Timofei Vaskin, a lawyer affiliated with the School for Conscripts, a Russian human rights organization assisting those subject to conscription. “This practice is especially common in Moscow,” he added. This is the reality of an ongoing conflict. Those cheering for NATO to fight Russia fail to realize that it would result in their own men facing compulsory military service.

Moscow stated it will need 135,000 additional fighters from October 1 to December 31, marking the largest draft autumn since 2016. There are two annual drafts, one in autumn and one in the spring, where all men aged 18 to 30 may face compulsory service.

There are simply not enough men to fight this ongoing war. Russia is recruiting from African and Latin American nations discreetly, and North Korea is sending its small population on an as-needed basis. China has not sent soldiers, but it is providing aid, and the LAST thing NATO wants is for China to join because by then any possibility of peace would be off the table. Russia does not report the official number of casualties but it is believed that at least one million soldiers have died since the start of the “war” or “counter-terrorism” operation that was entirely preventable had Europe honored the Minsk Agreement.

Poland Asks Ukraine not to Decimate its Steel Industry

European Union members must sacrifice their own economies for Ukraine. The unelected bureaucrats in Brussels repeatedly side with Ukraine on every trade dispute because their agenda is for an elite few to prosper rather than whole of Europe. Slovakia and Hungary pleaded for Ukraine not to decimate their energy sector—Brussels overruled their wishes. Farmers throughout the EU pleaded for Ukraine not to override their goods with duty-free imports—Brussels overruled their wishes. The examples are endless, but the outcome is always the same.

Poland is the latest nation to plead for Ukraine not to override an entire sector as tariff-free Ukrainian steel floods the EU. Ukrainian steel imports to Poland rose 27% in the first six months of the year, according to Polish steelmakers’ lobby group HIPH.

“We have a huge increase in imports of Ukrainian steel that is deeply pressuring our steel industry,” Deputy Development and Technology Minister Michal Baranowski told the outlet. “So we are working with the European Commission to find a way to address it, preferably in the short term.”

The European Commission proposed limited tariff-free imports from all trading partners, careful not to single out Ukraine, with a plan that would impose a 50% duty on imports that exceed a specific quota. Polish steelworkers believe the move would be insufficient. Poland’s steel industry faces much harsher regulations due to its EU alliance. Polish mills simply cannot compete against a seller who can undercut them at every turn, beginning with production.

Krystian Gunia, chief financial officer at steel producer Cognor Holding, spoke with parliament in Warsaw, where she stressed the need for immediate protection. The steelmaker is close to halting production at its new 800 million zloty ($217 million USD) rolling mill.

One of the main regulations hurting Poland is the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) that demands companies comply with green environmental standards. The EU has partnered with the Global Agreement for Sustainable Steel and Aluminum (GASSA) to ensure nations abide by net-zero regulations since climate change is the ultimate tool in the globalist arsenal. The carbon emissions from Ukraine are deemed acceptable by these agencies, which are reluctant to impose regulations on the country.

Poland will lose this battle because the unelected bureaucrats in Brussels have no incentive to see an actual EU member state surpass Ukraine. Every nation must send endless aid to Ukraine without question and willingly watch as Ukraine tramples on every sector of its economy.

Chaos and Disorder Prohibited by National Guard

The party of chaos and disorder is furious that the National Guard has been restoring peace to US cities. Every metric has shown crime significantly plummeting in every area where the National Guard has been stationed. American citizens are safe; the military is protecting those abiding by the law. Yet, those like Obama are spinning the story to portray a ruthless dictator unleashing the military against their own people.

Obama declared that it is “inherently corrupting” for a president to use military “against their own people.” The former president took a shot at Governor Abbott of Texas, claiming that he could have sent the National Guard to protect Dallas but it would have been “boggling to me how Fox News would have responded.” “We don’t want masked folks with rifles and machine guns patrolling our streets,” Obama added later. “We want cops on the beat who know the neighborhood and the kids around, and that’s how we keep the peace around here.”

The National Guard is not arresting or threatening law-abiding citizens. Countless videos are circulating the internet where people are thanking the Trump Administration for controlling crime, stating that they have not felt safe to walk around their own neighborhoods in years.

The data speaks for itself. In Washington, D.C., violent crime dropped by nearly 50% during the three weeks that the National Guard was deployed in August of this year. Burglaries dropped by 48%, homicides fell by 57%, and auto thefts declined by 36%. Memphis and Los Angeles are also seeing a notable downtick in crime since the deployment of the National Guard.

Why is this controversial? The Cloward-Piven Strategy requires chaos and disorder.

Obama deported more people than Donald Trump did and that was before the borders entirely vanished. The Democrats are not concerned about freedoms—they’re concerned about losing control over an unstable population. Obama claims that the police were sufficient when his political party championed defunding the police and started a race war over a career criminal who overdosed during an arrest. The American people are grateful to have their cities restored. There is something outright sinister about “folks” like Obama who want to see the nation fall.

The 26-page indictment is available HERE, and reveals the scale of former National Security Advisor John Bolton’s corrupt behavior in the handling of classified information.

The indictment alleges that Bolton leaked classified documents to at least two known individuals who were not authorized to review or retain classified information, including Top Secret Sensitive Compartmented Intelligence.

[SOURCE]

GREENBELT, Maryland — Former national security adviser John Bolton was charged Thursday in an 18-count federal indictment with illegally sending classified information to unauthorized people while he worked at the White House and keeping similar documents at his home after leaving government.

The indictment contends Bolton sent more than 1,000 pages of “diary-like entries” to a pair of unnamed associates on a regular basis while he was handling the nation’s most sensitive military, intelligence and diplomatic matters. Many of the messages contained information designated as classified up to the “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information” level. (more)

President Trump Delivers Healthcare Remarks from the Oval Office

President Trump makes announcements on pharmaceutical products and healthcare benefit costs – as it relates to IVF treatments.  Additionally, President Trump takes questions on a variety of issues from the Oval Office.

WASHINGTON ‒ President Donald Trump announced a plan aimed at expanding access to in vitro fertilization, seeking to fulfill a 2024 campaign promise by launching a new effort to lower IVF costs for families.

Trump’s plan, which he unveiled Oct. 17 in the Oval Office, also calls for eliminating red tape for employers who want to expand access for the millions of Americans who want coverage for the procedure. Yet it would not mandate that insurers cover IFV services, a proposal he campaigned on.

Under the deal, EMD Serono, the largest fertility drug manufacturer in the United States, has agreed to lower prices of medications between 42% to 79% under a most-favored nation pricing agreement. Trump said that includes lowering prices for Gonal-f, a drug that stimulates the ovary to produce healthy eggs.

The medication will be available via TrumpRx, the website to allow direct-to-consumers sales of some prescription drugs, in early 2026. The amount of the discount will be based on the patient’s income.

“There’s no deeper happiness and joy than raising children, and now millions of Americans struggling with infertility will have a new chance to share the greatest experience of them all,” Trump said. (read more)

President Trump Says “Productive” Phone Call With Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Plans for Meeting in Budapest, Hungary


Posted originally on CTH on October 16, 2025 | Sundance

During a flight to the Middle East, President Trump noted, before he would give authorization for NATO to sell Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, he would discuss the matter with President Putin. Earlier today, President Trump said he and Putin held a productive phone call:

President Trump via Truth Social – “I have just concluded my telephone conversation with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, and it was a very productive one. President Putin congratulated me and the United States on the Great Accomplishment of Peace in the Middle East, something that, he said, has been dreamed of for centuries. I actually believe that the Success in the Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the War with Russia/Ukraine.

President Putin thanked the First Lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative and said that this will continue. We also spent a great deal of time talking about Trade between Russia and the United States when the War with Ukraine is over.

At the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there will be a meeting of our High-Level Advisors, next week. The United States’ initial meetings will be led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, together with various other people, to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will then meet in an agreed upon location, Budapest, Hungary, to see if we can bring this “inglorious” War, between Russia and Ukraine, to an end.

President Zelenskyy and I will be meeting tomorrow, in the Oval Office, where we will discuss my conversation with President Putin, and much more. I believe great progress was made with today’s telephone conversation.” (read more)

A second summit between President Putin and President Trump makes sense to take place on neutral territory.  Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has been a pragmatic voice within the EU and a friend to both leaders.  A Budapest summit makes a lot of sense.

Against the backdrop of increased trade friction with China, a strategic relationship between the U.S. and the Russian Federation also makes a lot of sense.  Pulling Putin out of the gravitational orbit of Chairman Xi Jinping has the potential to reset a geopolitical alliance to the benefit of North America.

Perhaps a great impact to the world, in the sphere of both geopolitics and trade, would be an outcome from a strategic U.S-Russia alliance.  There is no reason for the two countries to be at odds if/when the Ukraine issue is resolved.

Unfortunately, there are stakeholders throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East who would prefer to keep President Trump and President Putin in conflict, and with Europe in a spiral of economic contraction, they are positioned only to benefit from escalating the friction.

As the situation continues to unfold, President Putin has to take a long-term outlook beyond the term of President Trump, as it relates to Russian interests; there is no guarantee that improved relationships would not just as easily be upended by a change in U.S. policy in a few short years.  This is one of President Trump’s biggest international challenges.

VIA ABC – […] ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce asked Leavitt if Trump still believed he could get Putin and Zelenskyy in a room together, after he couldn’t reach that step after hosting Putin for a summit in Alaska in August.

“I think he thinks it’s possible, and he would of course love to see that happen,” Leavitt said. “But right now, there were discussions and plans are now being made for the Russian side and our folks, led by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to meet and then for President Putin and President Trump to perhaps meet again. But I don’t think the president has closed the door on that at all.” (source)
