Trump has published his National Security Strategy and has declared Europe as the biggest threat to The United States and pledged positive relations with Russia and other autocratic regimes around the world. Russia is celebrating Trump's betrayal of global democracy. youtu.be/pvdkNgrReVo
❗️Russia attacked the Okhtyrka community with three drones, — Sumy OVA Currently, it is known that a high-rise building was hit. Previously, five civilians were injured. All of them are in the hospital, doctors are providing the necessary assistance.
Since day one, Western reporting overestimates Ru's strength and underestimates Ukraine, subtly legitimizes Ru's aggression by repeating various Ru pretexts for the war, and overwhelmingly pities Ukraine, subtly creating the impression that their loss is a foregone conclusion.
I’ve been traveling so much that I keep forgetting to share new episodes of @theairshowpodcast.com. Brett fired questions at me as I talked about my time at the Dubai Airshow. Recommend staying to the end for my takeaways on the C919’s visit. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
This is the red line. Not just for Ukraine, but all of Europe. Yet the Europeans continue to choose relative temporary comfort at the cost of unimaginable death and terror in the foreseeable future instead. Russia must be defeated and expelled from Ukraine to achieve peace.
Now Orban uses war propaganda to influence the elections that he knows he’s likely to lose. This is literally what the regime in Georgia brainwashed its supporters with - if the opposition comes to power, we will immediately be at war with Russia. They are all the same.
Zelensky confirmed that Umerov and Gen. Hnatov are en route to Europe from the U.S., where they’ve been engaged in backchannel peace talks. He expects a full briefing, especially on what the Americans conveyed from their Moscow contacts and which negotiation points the U.S. is now willing to adjust.

Donald Trump Jr. suggested his father might walk away from Ukraine if no peace deal is reached, citing corruption in Kyiv and calling Zelensky “a borderline deity” created by the left. Speaking at the Doha Forum, Trump Jr. said unpredictability is his father’s strength. Delusional idiot.
Kremlin correspondent Sladkov praises talks with the US and dreams of “giant business plans”, yet asks how to forgive America for “hundreds of thousands” of dead Russians. Telling that a Kremlin loyalist admits such losses - and that Putin seems unconcerned when his own survival is at stake.
America: A rusting city on a landfill — rife with discarded Trump steaks, crypto margins, and white supremacist propaganda. The city now has taller walls, closed and locked doors, and routinely deports people from the city square. It’s no longer a beacon, a magnet now turned to repulse.
Russia’s major milblogger Yuri Podolyaka says that after 3.5 years of war the army still can’t provide basics - underwear, socks, even uniforms. Troops buy their own kit or rely on volunteers, while the Defence Ministry knows about the problem and does nothing.
Nico Lange about real German defence needs: „The focus is primarily on satellite-based capabilities, but also on long-range weapons. This requires funding, which must be invested in technological innovation. Simply reordering large quantities of expensive platforms developed long ago is not enough.“
I find the seemingly standard public education/reenactor phrase, "every Roman soldier was a [combat] engineer" more than a bit frustrating. Every Roman soldier could be a *laborer.* The legions also had much higher status specialist engineers, the praefectus fabrum or architectus. Different jobs!
