Map over microphone, results over rhetoric. We open with the reported threat against Margarita Simonyan—because “censorship by bullet” doesn’t end debates, it just proves why they’re needed. From there: the ICC’s paper vs. a host state’s police power, Brussels’ “not nice” line vs. its own admission there’s no EU personal travel ban (the obstacle is the airframe, not the person), and the corridor math that turns “impossible” into logistics—hello, Bulgaria. We unpack the boring safety that actually saves lives (GNSS spoofing, late filings, alternates), then the Zelensky–Trump aftermath: Patriots in, Tomahawks on ice, and a front-line freeze getting louder. Plus: why Hungary’s bet on hosting is sovereignty in action, not a vibe check. If a single waiver goes green and a single room stays quiet, Europe might trade adjectives for outcomes—at least for one winter. Rate, review, and share if you prefer fewer obituaries and more arguments. Listener discretion: strong opinions, stronger receipts.
