An Air Force major stood on the Capitol steps…accused officials of breaking the law…and got arrested for “incommoding.” So to recap: break the Constitution…keep your job. Point it out in uniform…get handcuffs. Cool system. Christ!

Take note, media! Stop giving platform to Kremlin propaganda. And this includes the "Putin says"-format for that propaganda platform, @nieuws.nos.nl. We're way past 2014, should have learned something in between...

The Russian attack on Kyiv destroyed a Ukrainian Red Cross humanitarian warehouse. It was one of the Ukrainian Red Cross’s key logistics hubs. Russia deliberately causes more and more suffering to Ukrainian civilians.

Imagine if Obama made billions of dollars off crypto scams, accepted a bribe from the Qatari royal family of a jet, started a war with Iran and LOST, and was credibly accused of raping children.

Last night’s deliberate Russian attacks on civilians in kyiv were in some ways a murderous scream of frustration. The Russians seem to have no strategic answer to the growing Ukrainian strike campaign, so can only kill innocents in retaliation. A sign of growing failure.

The two most plausible explanations for this most dangerous move are: 1) Trump plans to sell this extremely valuable information to foreign states and make billions and billions. 2)The US is run by an agent of a foreign country that desperately needs this information.

Another Russian refinery in flames this morning (actually, the 4th largest). Payback for the attacks on appartment blocks in Kyiv.

Imagine driving a lorry with resupplies for the Donetsk front, your fuel tank is almost empty and then you bump into this.

Let's hope these long-range (~600km!) strikes can actually disrupt Putin's missile production chain. It's by far the best form of air defense...

After the fuel crisis comes the power crisis: Ukraine already knocked out the Saky TPP and the Tavriyska TPP, both Crimea.

This remains a very interesting target. Ukraine already knocked out a few space communication antennas in previous strikes.

Sterke column van @mathijsbouman.nl: fd.nl/opinie/16015...

Small wonder Putin's recruitment rates are dropping (which is a really good thing). However, if the Russian people were actually aware of these statistics (a 20 to 35 minutes average survivability), no one would sign up.

Looks like another total loss, this Russian refinery.... 👌

Good morning! Ukraine struck no less than three major Russian oil targets last night. Here's a current view of the Slavyansk refinery:

The moment of one of the powerful FP-5 Flamingo strikes on Russia's Titan-Barrikady defense plant in Volgograd. Reports indicate three separate impacts across the facility.

"Vladimir Putin has lost monopoly on Russia´s future" - Arkady Ostrovky's comment for The Economist: www.youtube.com/shorts/Cu1Mq...

The moment the FP-5 „Flamingo“ missile struck the military enterprise in Volgograd, Russia. As mentioned earlier, the decision by the Russian leadership to concentrate air defense systems around Moscow and Saint Petersburg will expose the rest of the country. This is the result.

Confirmed. Following the new oldest captured formula all 160 Ukrainian heros returning have been imprisoned since 2022

Russia’s Presidential Administration has issued “recommendations” to media outlets on how to cover the country’s fuel shortage. meduza.io/en/news/2026...

Everything is going according to plan, it's just that the plan is like this 😂 Soon, they will start eating each other. Must. Get. More. Popcorn. 🍿 #UkraineNews #russiaIsCollapsing

This is also 'the fat tail of climate change', where the normal distribution becomes skewed, through feedback loops. The summer heat extremes therefore increase much faster than the annual average. (This used to be my job, sorry.)

Nu is Nederland aan de beurt! nos.nl/artikel/2620...

Ukraine also struck yet another Russian oil refinery, this time in Ufa, close the Ural mountains - so a very long distance strike:

Breaking news this morning: Ukraine found an intact Russian oil depot! Aaaand it's gone.....

How a small country took responsibility and became a factor. These offer important range benefit, are Dutch produced, first batch delivered later this year.

IJzersterk opiniestuk van @sbeverts.bsky.social, directeur van @euiss.bsky.social Grote leestip voor iedereen met interesse in Europese veiligheid:

Doesn't matter about 'macroeconomic stability' if enough severely pissed-off Russians storm the walls of the Kremlin and drag Putin out like the Romanians did to Nicolae Ceaușescu in 1989. Make peace happen. Maximal sanctions overnight. Collapse Russia's economy. Let the Russians sort the rest.

En het was de inname van de Krim waardoor Poetin zich pas echt onaantastbaar ging voelen, en zo ook werd gezien door de Russen. Als je dan valt, dan val je diep.

First no fuel, then no electricity, then all the rest. Putin has already lost Crimea.

/1. Something I've been waiting to see for a long time: drone operators striking Russian logistics at one of the key bottlenecks of the land corridor to Crimea — right in the middle of a pontoon crossing next to the damaged Chonhar Bridge.

Oh look the Republican Pentagon is asking for another $80 billion to pay for Trump surrendering to iran apnews.com/live/trump-a...

Yesterday's attack on the Voronezh factory reminds me of the defining moment when Putin begged his pall Trump to not sell Tomahawks to Ukraine. Actual air defense = wiping out the few clustered production sites for ballistic missiles & Shaheds. With Tomahawk's range this would have been possible.

First no more gasoline, then no more electricity (give this another week) and soon an end to any movement or resupply, even water. Putin has already been defeated in Crimea.

Totally unfair to hold Trump to the standards set by…Trump. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Another great strategic strike by Ukraine.

Fathers day, for those who have to go without - because their fathers sacrificed everything, so that others can live and be free.

The Green Pool: America’s Unofficial Museum of Political Corruption.

Russia's shadow fleet of oil tankers is back to all-time highs in the Baltic. All those tankers that were used for floating storage have now freed up and are back in the Baltic. Europe needs to shut this down once and for all. Stop Putin's money machine... robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/europe-nee...

Wow that was a devastating attack by Ukraine: apart from the oil storage, harbours on both sides, 4 radars & 2 air defense units, also THREE ferries were struck! Crimea is untenable for Russia.

Father's day in Ukraine. Hats off to all of them - and their children:

Oh no. Although almost symbolic by now, the fireworks are getting very close...

Meloni. Baf!

This would not only be good for the UK, but also for Europe as a whole (perhaps, geographically and politically, most of all the NLs). So if the UK wants to rejoin, we should spare no effort in welcoming our friends back, and help to accommodate UK's specific interests. /personal view of a Dutchman

A planned oil delivery for Crimea through the Kerch port, "might need to be postponed" - slight understatement below:

Imagine being the Russian occupation force in Crimea, already suffering acute fuel shortages - and then seeing your remaining oil silos get picked off one by one. It's untenable: Russia's strategic defeat in Crimea is looming.

Het gaat inderdaad goed. En het zou nog beter gaan als we onze glansrol in Oekraine meer zouden 'ownen'. Punt is: VVD is bang voor talkshow presentatoren die het extreem-rechtse standpunt uitdragen en zeggen: waarom gaat dat geld niet naar Henk en Ingrid? En links is eigenlijk defensie uitgaven.

russia digs up the graves of its victims in #Luhansk to claim ‘evidence of Ukrainian aggression’ In at least one propaganda video, separate graves which were seen when dug to be separately buried and marked, are shown being exhumed without any dignity as though they’d been flung into the ground
