Ukraine used 700 Patriot missiles in four winter months. The Middle East burned through 800 in three days. "Americans won't be able to provide enough for everyone," EU defense chief Kubilius says, urging Europe to fast-track its own missile production.

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.

No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.

Worth a watch.

Epstein files: Missing FBI documents related to Trump allegations released Donald Trump has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Jeffrey Epstein, and his press secretary said allegations in the newly released files are "baseless".

Under the cover of war, the US DoJ has just quietly released some of the missing Epstein files that directly relate to Trump.

In which, he is accused of sexual assault by a then 13 year old who says he tried to force oral sex on her.

An unarmed Iranian ship was invited, along with the U.S., to be part of an Indian Naval exercise.
The U.S. at the last minute pulled out of the exercise and instead attacked the Iranian ship with a torpedo

What Pisshead Pete doesn’t make clear, is that he’s talking about Iranian firepower.

The Swiss authorities will always give you up, in a heart beat.

Proton, like any other Swiss company, will not protect you from your (any?) government.

An Iranian ship at a joint Indian naval exercise, where all vessels were required to be unarmed, paraded its sailors along other participants, including the US. The US then withdrew at the last minute, torpedoed the Iranian vessel, and refused to rescue survivors. 87 sailors killed, 60 missing.

Trump can't simply say, "I won!" and stop the war because that would leave Israel vulnerable. Trump has committed you and your children to fighting in the Middle East forever without consulting you or your representatives in Congress. Netanyahu knew what he was doing when he engineered this.

Suddenly, its turns out that it is not smart to arrogantly shit on an ally that has learned how to down 200 Shaheds every single night and then wipe out and oil refinery or a military airfield with a handful of cheap drones.
