NEW: Ukraine is holding its own. Data from the battlefield show it’s Moscow that may be in trouble, write ISW's Kim Kagan and @criticalthreats.bsky.social's Frederick Kagan in a new op-ed for @washingtonpost.com: wapo.st/3MHUlAh (Gift Link)

Ukrainian ombudsman: 337 Ukrainian POWs are known to have been executed in Russian captivity, as of late 2025. 95% of Ukrainian POWs are subjected to systematic torture.

One hundred and sixty-five children were killed in a U.S.-Israeli strike on their elementary school. This is an aerial image of the graves being prepared for their bodies. I defy anyone to justify this.

- isn't it sickening how the yanks see themselves as something special? It's always been that way but most are just uneducated morons puffing their chests

Tehran in three days.

Not the sunrise, but the Russian LNG tanker which was hit by suspected USVs (maritime surface drones) earlier this morning. Reporting only slowly coming out. Photos taken from another merchant vessel. Crew reported rescued by Maltese forces

Is it me, or does Cars Stuck On The Beach season start earlier every year?

If Europe treated russia like the US treats its allies Ukraine would have won by now. The bullying right now is defined by this relation US > Europe > Russia But it should be Europe > US > Russia Europe needs to stop regulating and start bullying

This is the reality for Ukrainian children. A 10-month-old baby and her mother are forced to evacuate because russians are bombing their village. The poor little girl doesn’t understand what is happening.

Unpunished evil always grows. It trades tools of destruction with other evils, while the good wait and hope the problems will somehow resolve themselves. 10/10 escalation managements.

Russian Urals oil is rising above $65.

Russia is losing LNG not as an operating industry but as a development project. It may continue exporting gas in liquefied form, but it is no longer capable of building a credible strategy for world leadership around it. #sanctions ridl.io/how-sanction...

"We called London a war zone and moved to Dubai by mistake"

If only European leaders would show this kind of resolve to defend our interests and allies here in Europe.

Netanyahu to the U.S. Congress, 2002: "If you take out Saddam, Saddam's regime, I guarantee you that it will have enormous positive reverberations on the region."

Credible reports that ginormous Russian LNG (liquid natural gas) tanker Arctic Metagaz is on fire in Mediterranean. Reports suggest it was hit be a USV (uncrewed surface vessel) Whether Iran linked or Ukraine, very big implications for Russian war effort

2h prior to French carrier Charles de Gaulle entering Baltic Sea Swedish authorities reported fresh GPS-interference in her path The interference is centered at one, if not the, densest area of shipping in the world, Öresund north entry About 100 ship pass this 3km bottleneck/d

Israel has used the cover of the Iran War to launch a ground invasion of “strategic parts of Lebanon”. All part of the plan.

Sure. Elect a lazy old narcissist with a messiah complex to be the commander in chief. Sounds smart. What could go wrong 🤦‍♂️

The French singing La Marseillaise in a nuclear submarine base is deeply symbolic. France built its own independent nuclear deterrent after WWII to never again have to suffer a similar humiliation. Now France is offering to ”advance” that deterrent to other European countries.

Well WW3 did start in 2026 in Star Trek.

While the world is worried about Dubai attacked by Iran drones - Ukrainian city of Kharkiv was bombed again by Russian drone today with 2 kids wounded, 10 and 12 years old

How’s the tax exile going then 😎 Twats. Arrival of the "Shahed" in Dubai amid cries of "Allahu Akbar".

Präsident Zelenskyj (ein Jude) nahm zusammen mit ukrainischen Soldaten, die den Islam praktizieren, Krimtataren, Vertretern der muslimischen Gemeinschaft und Geistlichen sowie ausländischen Diplomaten an einem Iftar teil – dem Abendessen, das während des heiligen Monats Ramadan stattfindet. /2

It is once again time for this joke: Tired: extended deterrence Wired: dissuasion élargie

So people are NOW noticing what it’s like when drones are attacking civilian areas? Ukraine has lived through it for four years!!

Honest question, can anyone name a case of 'Regime Change' through US military aggression, that actually resulted in a positive outcome for the people of that country?

An interesting experiment in value added taxation policy by our neighbours to the east. europeancorrespondent.com/en/r/what-th...

🤬🤬russian oil & gas stocks are rising amid U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

Following the strikes in Iran, European gas prices have risen by more than 22%. (AFP)

I can't wrap my head around this. What about destroying russia's missile and drone launch capabilities at the source? Hit the archer, not the arrows, as we've been screaming for years. Or is Iran suddenly a bigger threat to Europe than russia? Taurus. Now.

I got this tattoo for my first grindcore band Bearded Mary. When you go to jail they ask you what your tattoos mean to determine gang affiliation. I said “that stands for Bette Midler because she’s the wind beneath my wings.” No further questions were asked.

The UAE have become a major transshipment hub for Western goods going to Russia. Chart shows UAE exports to Kyrgyzstan, which obviously never go there but head straight to Moscow. All these transshipments now come to a crashing halt. One positive upside... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/how-big-ar...

A ver si lo entiendo, ¿los principales líderes de la UE están a favor de la caída de la dictadura iraní porque violan los derechos humanos mientras muestran su apoyo al resto de dictaduras de Oriente Medio porque patatas?

To think that US dares lecture EU members about... well, anything, really.

Iranians are asking if we have any spare air defence to stop US and Israel bombing them. I told them this will only prolong the war & that they should trade land for peace

Fascism is the most inherently unstable political system, almost never outliving the dictator.

Something to do for journalists: which bases is the us using for the attacks and what do those governments say (Al-Udeid, Ramstein, Diego Garcia?)
