The Alternative for Germany won 43.8 percent of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt on 7 September 2026, its strongest state election result in history, falling three seats short of an outright majority in an 83-seat legislature. Elon Musk wrote "Well done" on X. The AfD's lead candidate thanked him for his support and said Germany could again become "a place worth investing in" if the party takes power. Donald Trump posted the result on Truth Social without comment. The Russian presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev took a screenshot of Trump's post and praised a "historic win for the pragmatic AfD." No far-right party has led a German state government since 1945.

Donald Trump asked Poland to send its Patriot missile batteries to the Middle East. Poland said no. The batteries remain in Poland. Mr Trump has not commented on Poland's response. One imagines he will.

Mette Frederiksen, leader of the Danish Social Democrats and Prime Minister of a country that identifies itself as social democratic, published a joint statement with Giorgia Meloni, leader of a party founded by admirers of Benito Mussolini, calling for the protection of Europe's Christian heritage. The Party of European Socialists, of which Frederiksen is a member and Meloni is not, wrote to express concern. Frederiksen's spokesperson said the party's course would not change "simply because someone writes a letter." The letter was from her own parliamentary group. Rest assured, the Christian heritage is being protected.

 Argentina has amended its Migration Law to allow the expulsion of foreign nationals who promote "messages of hatred" against Argentina or its national symbols. The amendment does not apply to "political, ideological or academic criticism." The government did not cite specific examples of the hatred that prompted the change. President Milei has, in recent months, described Brazil's president as a "communist," accused Mexico of interfering in Argentine affairs, and suggested the United States Democratic Party is responsible for a global campaign against Argentina. One understands these remarks fall within the academic exemption.

The United States Army has used "virtually all" of its long-range precision missiles, according to Reuters. Elbridge Colby, who argued throughout 2024 and 2025 that the United States could not spare weapons for Ukraine because they were needed to deter a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, has not commented. The missiles are no longer available for either purpose. One wishes Mr. Colby well.

A North Korean missile unit has begun deploying to western Russia, where Moscow plans to assemble a force of up to 120 ballistic missiles and six launchers for attacks on Ukraine. On 10 September, Kim Jong Un thanked service members deployed to Russia in a ceremony marking North Korea's founding anniversary. North Korea denied sending any troops to Russia from October 2024 until April 2025, at which point it confirmed the deployment and described it as heroic. One notes the progression from denial to celebration took approximately six months.
