Ukrainians have been fighting against “shahed” drones for years now, and everyone recognizes that no other country in the world has this kind of experience. We are ready to help, and we expect that our people will also receive the support they need.

cognitive special forces - someone's gotta do it. Snark attacks free. Resist instrumentalised focus shifting. Here to deplore Russia and its friends. Don't look away. Prepared to bother the fk out of Russia. I have no sword so this will have to do.

The boy told his parents that he was carrying out a “secret operation” for the Russian special services and was supposed to receive 1 million rubles and a reward from Putin for it.
The teenager is in pre-trial detention. Unfortunately, the Russian scientists survived.
🚀🔪 In Moscow, a 14-year-old teenager stabbed scientists developing the Oreshnik, according to Russian media.
Together with his friend, he attacked two employees of the M.F. Stelmakh Polyus Research Institute. While the teenager was stabbing the scientists, his friend filmed it on camera.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump on Iran: We are winning the war by a lot. We decimated their whole evil empire.
It will continue, I am sure, for a little while. Their military is almost nonexistent.
🎙️Can you give us an idea of what “unconditional surrender” looks like to you? What do you want from Iran?
🇺🇸 Trump: I said unconditional — not conditioned. I said unconditional.
That means they cry “uncle,” or they reach a point where they can’t fight any longer. There’s nobody left to resist.
🎙️Do you have any indications that Russia is somehow supporting Iran in this?
🇺🇸Trump: I have had no indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they’re not doing a very good job, because Iran is not doing too well.
🇮🇷🇺🇸Trump on Iran:
We got rid of the top leadership, and we got rid of the second level of leadership.
Now they’re on their third or fourth level of leadership, and they have leaders now that nobody even knows.
They cut babies’ heads off. They chop women in half. Take a look at October 7.
🇺🇸 Trump on Kurds: We don’t want to make the war any more complex than it already is. We don’t want to see the Kurds get hurt or killed.
We’ve had a good relationship with them. They’re willing to go in, but I’ve told them I don’t want them to go in.
🇮🇷 Trump on Iran: They suddenly started apologizing to the Middle Eastern states.
You can mark that down as a victory for us and for Middle Eastern states that are really friends of ours. I guess they’re not going to be shooting at them anymore. That’s a surrender right there. I call it surrender.
🎙️ Do you think the map of Iran looks the same after this is all done?
🇺🇸 Trump: That I can’t tell you. Probably not.
🎙️The Russians would still be involving themselves in a conflict they are not a part of.
🇺🇸 Trump: Wouldn’t they say that we do it against them? They can give all the information they want, but the people are overwhelmed. We have the greatest military on Earth.
🎙️ Do you want to be involved in the selection of the next leader of Iran?
🇺🇸 Trump: Yeah. We don’t have to come back every five or ten years to do this. We want to pick a president that’s not leading them into war.
🇺🇸 US is sending the Merops counter-drone system to the Middle East, which has already shot down over 1,000 Shahed drones in Ukraine, - Business Insider

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Last week, an Israeli missile strike on a government compound in Tehran killed Khamenei and senior military leaders, - NYT
However, the attack also killed Iranian officials whom the US had viewed as potential negotiators who could help quickly end the conflict, complicating the situation.
Rey, Iran. Looks like Mossad work 🇮🇷🇮🇱👀
🇮🇷❗️🇦🇿 The Iranian Armed Forces' command center has threatened Azerbaijan with military strikes.
"Azerbaijan must immediately expel Zionists and their assets from its territory, otherwise they will become targets for the Iranian armed forces."
We have 20,000 bombs to sell Israel? But Ukraine can't buy ordnance from the USA to defend itself? What happened to the USA as the arsenal of democracy? How is that Ukraine not "allowed" to be a customer? 🤔
#Ukraine #USA #russia #Israel.
So I can start blaming Germany for *everything* wrong in the UK. Since it went to war with us in the 40s.. great... I'm excited.

I'm not sure it's immoral to destroy a fascist regime.
I'm not sure it's immoral to destroy a fascist regime.
I doubt it. Popular support for the regime is zero.
There is this weird assumption thrown around that to oppose extreme evil one needs to be saintly and having never erred. But that's just whataboutism.
I am not defending everything the West ever did, and I don't need to, in order to condemn barbarous regimes and their obscene actions.

First step I think is to look at the Electrification Staircase (I would say that). Rows A-C can largely be electrified now.
Aside. We really need to do a version of this Staircase with the relative energy consumption of each sector.
My son was planning to go to an anti war demo today. He has the privilege of not knowing there are worse things than war.
