On this day 86 years ago Nazi Germany invaded Poland. 17 days afterwards its ally, the Soviet Union, invaded Poland. Because only one of the aggressors was defeated the underlying causes of World War II were never addressed. That is why World War III, Russiaโs War, rages today.

Kyiv yesterday (๐ธ)
โก๏ธRussiaโs massive strike on Kyiv destroyed key railway hubs, crippling Ukraineโs vital transport lifeline.
๐Another loud and horrific night in Kyiv as russia have massively been shelling the country with both ballistic missiles and UAVโs. One man has been confirmed killed. 8 others injured. Including a 10 year old boy. Numbers are growing as first responders comb through several areas of the capital.
Preliminary reports and footage are horrifying: a direct hit in the 5-storey apartment building destroyed it with at least 4 people killed, incl two kids. More than 20 injured so far, rescue operations are ongoing. The damage is reported in several districts.

A mother and her daughter spent the entire night in a shelter because of russian drones and missiles. When they came out in the morning, they saw the sky covered in smoke. Ukrainians have to spend nights in basements just to stay alive. Help protect them: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Capitalism works when competition decides winners. The President is swapping market tests for political favorsโmates rates, not merit. It leads companies to spend more on K Street than R&D. The result: fewer breakthroughs, slower growth, and lower incomes. But it won't happen overnight.
