🔴 Russian forces conducted a massive attack against Ukraine tonight, targeting Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
“There’s not a single sign of anything in the system breaking or defecting. Nothing. Zero,” said a senior European official. “The control is complete.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...
❗️🇺🇦 Zelensky: "We would like to "quietly" receive PAC-3 missiles from the countries and transfer drones to them for interception."
He noted that the Middle Eastern countries launched 800 PAC-3 missiles in three days, and Ukraine has never had so many in the entire war.
Operation Epic Walkback.
“Unconditional surrender” was the Allies’ demand in WWII. They backed it up by occupying Germany, Italy and Japan.
Is Trump prepared to send hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy Iran, a nation of 93 million people, and to risk the resulting casualties? If not, this is simply bluster.
Screen shot of CNBC story headlined, “Trump says no deal with Iran to end war without ‘unconditional surrender'” published 6 March 2026 by Dan Mangan.
In my research on Admiral King and his influence on JCS decision making in WWII, one thing that leapt out was his regret of a public announcement of unconditional surrender because of how it constrained the Allied approach to war termination.
One can only wonder that he would think of this.
At a minimum, this should open up the spigots of US support to Ukraine so Russia loses the war it caused.

Orwellian
Probably first major US loss of the conflict when it comes to ballistic missile defense. One of TPY-2 radars belonging to the THAAD battery deployed to Muwaffaq Salti Airbase in Jordan seems to have been struck. The full radar set goes over $200M.
Without the radar that battery is temporarily out of the fight and that means the Patriot batteries deployed to the base will have higher burden placed on them. THAAD and PATRIOT are meant to work together, with THAAD acting as upper layer and PATRIOT as lower layer.
🇺🇸🇰🇷 The US and South Korea are discussing the possible deployment of Patriot missile defense systems to the Middle East amid the conflict in Iran, - Reuters.
Heavy transport aircraft have already arrived at Osan Air Base to transport Patriot systems to the Middle East.
The US and South Korean militaries are discussing the possible relocation of some Patriot missile defense systems based in South Korea for use in the ongoing conflict with Iran.
So far, I wd say Putin is winning the Gulf War. Oil prices are up, & the US has relaxed pressure on India to stop buying fm RU, so budget revenues will increase, making the war easier to fund. And UA will now be an even lower priority for US air defence munitions, so an easier target for RU strikes.
Yep
Some 800 US-made missiles have been used in three days across the Middle East, more than Ukraine has made use of over the four winter months. #EuropeNews
Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating in the war if if indirectly.

NEW: The US & Israeli combined force has advanced to the next phase of their campaign, which will focus on targeting Iranian defense industrial assets, especially missile production facilities. The IDF has continued strikes targeting Iranian ballistic missile infrastructure. isw.pub/IranUpdate03...

3/ The combined forces have continued to strike the IRGC Ground Forces’ special forces and rapid response units in southwestern Iran. The combined force has not yet struck other IRGC or Artesh special forces bases or infrastructure at scale across the country. isw.pub/IranUpdate03...
Winning Iranians over, one dumb arse presser at a time…
These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of March 6, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
‚What emerges is…the “strike-as-strategy” paradox: the substitution of impressive tactical actions for comprehensive strategic design. Under Trump, this tendency is reinforced by a political culture that demands televised displays of military prowess.

The Maduro raid will encourage the dangerous notion that daring operations and decapitation strikes can help conclude a major conflict. Capturing or killing an enemy leader, the theory goes, will trigger chaos and collapse resistance. History, however, suggests otherwise.‘

Operation Epic Fury costs nearly $900 million per day, driven by the large expenditure of munitions. Because most of this is not in the budget, the Pentagon will soon need to ask for more money.
