Zelensky has done everything he possibly can to satisfy this admin while he fights a war of survival for his people. And the Trump admin has done nothing but repeatedly treat him with disrespect, scorn & ridicule. 2 days ago, Trump called him β€œPT Barnum.” This is how Z responds.

Pentagon eyes Ukrainian interceptor drones to counter Iran Kyiv has pioneered cheap and mass-produced machines to battle Russian versions of the Shahed attack drone

giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Bit of a story here: the West has known for some time that Ukrainian interceptor drones are cheap, effective and the best way to deal with the sorts of things Iran has. If the US had been remotely serious it would have thought about this ahead of a war.

Genuine question: Why didn't they fill the flight from Dubai to Sydney? Surprised only 200 passengers on a A380 plane with a 400+ capacity.

We already had a nuclear deal in place negotiated by Barack Obama. After ripping up that deal Donald Trump could not accomplish what Obama could and negotiate a nee one. Instead he’s launched an illegal war without the authorization of Congress. Americans don’t want this, Congress must act.

I'm old enough to remember when we could stop a country from developing a nuclear program by giving everyone in the world an otherwise harmless computer virus instead of by dropping bombs on schoolgirls

Congress is pushing a bill that could block millions of eligible Americans not because they aren’t citizens, but because they can’t easily access documents.

This should be a much bigger story. Kegseth is essentially saying he wants to use the Anthropic software to commit war crimes and will therefore not agree to be bound to well established US and international law rules. Outrageous.
