We need to call this what it is - psychosis. Psychotic thinking not based in reality.

Europeans should remember this about Trump: he wouldn’t lift a finger for Europe.

Stupid Decisions That Caused That Strait of Hormuz Problem: 1. Trump impulsively attacked Iran; 2. Trump foolishly insulted the allies he now needs; and 3. The U.S. Navy recently decommissioned an entire class of minesweepers, without any effective ready replacements. Not smart people.

Given there’s no invocation of Article V; even if there was this isn’t self defense, it’s self inflicted; & NATO’s remit is Europe not the Middle East, he can bluster all he wants. Especially, as everyone already knows if a NATO member invoked Article V he’d ignore it.

🇺🇦 Zelensky: This week alone, the Russians have struck Ukraine with 1,770 strike drones, over 1,530 KAB, and 86 missiles, including over 20 ballistic missiles. Each of these missiles contains at least 60 foreign components supplied to Russia to circumvent sanctions.

68 missiles, 430 drones — in 1 night. Kyiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, and Mykolaiv oblasts were hit. People were killed and wounded. Civilian and energy infrastructure — damaged. All because of terrorist russia. Help stop this; u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

By threatening to deny the license of any broadcast news company that does not tow the Trump line, Carr is publicly announcing that the goal of the Trump Administration is to rip up the Constitution to install an authoritarian government.

Shocking. 😒 FCC Chair Brendan Carr said news broadcasters coverage of Iran war could impact their license renewal. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

3/ Right now, Trump has no plan to reopen the Strait. And a plan may not exist. The assets Iran uses to harass and attack tankers - thousands of small drones, speed boats and mines - cannot be eliminated. They are too numerous, too spread out and hidden.

This Trump tweet is a work of art and needs to be kept for posterity. It turns out that the US has destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability. Yet, to combat a military with no capability he is left pleading with allies he has regularly insulted to save him in the Gulf.

The U.S. does not need Ukraine’s help with air defense in the Middle East, President Donald Trump said yesterday.

🇮🇷🇸🇦 An Iranian missile strike on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia damaged five US Air Force refueling planes. The attack occurred several days ago, but officials only recently confirmed the extent of the damage to the aircraft. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/iran-attacks...

🇺🇸🚀The U.S. has used years’ worth of key munitions, including expensive Tomahawk missiles, since the start of the Iran War, - FT The rapid depletion is raising concerns about military stockpiles, high war costs, and the ability to replenish weapons.

Read David Petraeus and Isaac C. Flanagan on why “the U.S. military must first develop sound operational and tactical concepts for autonomous warfare before fielding these systems at scale.”

🇺🇦✈️ Zelensky: I met with Ukrainian military personnel who are studying at the European F-16 Pilot Training Center in Romania. We talked with the soldiers about the features and conditions of their training. We discussed the challenges facing our pilots and how the state can help solve them.

nice, now how about Ukraine?

uh no not really, the population does not revolt against the government nor harden their resolve but generally are preoccupied with survival and become passive

Years of mass drone attacks have stress-tested Ukraine’s air defenses, resulting in a system that has held up under relentless pressure. The United States and its allies should be paying attention.

🇺🇦 Syrskyi: In general, in February, our drones hit more than 105.2 thousand enemy targets. Of these, a quarter was on the account of the Unmanned Systems Forces. Our drones have hit about 4.2 thousand enemy pilot positions in a month.

AI is reshaping how the US military makes decisions in war — a shift clear in Iran, where the Pentagon says it struck more than 2,000 targets in just four days. www.ft.com/content/fedb...

The sheer strategic stupidity of bailing Russia out of its economic hole by launching a war that entirely foreseeably spikes the oil price - and then having no minesweepers in place to deal with the foreseeable fallout. Rank incompetence.

a paradox: Although Ukraine possesses considerable military potential, many NATO states are still hesitant to admit it for fear of escalating the conflict with Russia. This stance contradicts the country's strategic value to the alliance.

That's about half of what it cost for USAID for a whole year www.nytimes.com/live/2026/03...

The United States needs to accelerate the development of precise mass systems, argue @mchorowitz.bsky.social‬ and @laurenakahn.bsky.social. “The U.S. military cannot afford to wait until the 2030s for its stockpiles to be restored and increased.”

By 2027, 120 satellites are to be launched into orbit, and another 100–105 units are expected to be launched each following year.

🛰🇺🇦 The Ukrainian constellation of communication satellites within the UASAT LEO program will number 300 units. The first Ukrainian satellite will be launched in October this year using a SpaceX carrier.

The Lebanese group "Hezbollah" has joined the war, announcing the start of a military operation and launching hundreds of rockets at Israel this evening.

7/ Hezbollah has claimed 13 attacks targeting IDF positions and forces in northern Israel and southern Lebanon since ISW-CTP’s last data cutoff at 3:00 PM ET on March 10. Israeli media reported that Hezbollah has reportedly fired more than 850 rockets at Israel since March 2.

Thank you Emmanuel Macron for organising a call with G7 partners to discuss a coordinated response to the concerning situation in Iran and the Middle East. We are focused on minimising the impact on security and the global energy market.

Enforcing the oil price cap will help stabilise markets and limit Russia’s revenues. This is not the moment to relax sanctions on Russia. We both welcomed today’s decision by the IEA to make 400 million barrels of emergency reserve oil available to ease tensions in global energy supply.

If all wounded and MIA are included, total of 2 million ?

🇺🇦 Zelenskyy expressed concern over the escalating conflict in the Middle East. He warned that if the war continues, it could turn into a global conflict. He added that the Russia–Iran cooperation in drone production poses a serious threat. Read more 👀 theukrainianreview.info/zelenskyy-co...
