Ukraine is making clever steps in the Middle East. While the US is increasingly losing trust across the region thanks to the botched situation in the Strait in Hormuz as well as the lack to efficiently counter the wave of Iranian drones, Ukrainian technology and tactics is filling the gap.

Trump is now apparently willing to leave Iran in control of the Strait of Hormuz because reopening it will take too long What an incredible own-goal. If this happens, it will studied in our textbooks as one of the most disastrous, and self-inflicted, strategic blunders in military history

“Hegseth’s broker at Morgan Stanley contacted BlackRock in February about making a multimillion-dollar investment in the asset manager’s Defense Industrials Active ETF, the people said, shortly before the US launched military action against Tehran." Totally normal stuff.

This is a great way for ICE agents to get absolutely wrecked by a bunch of swarming PFCs who know they have orders already printed and can’t really be controlled.

The justice I want to see most is against those who terrorized the young people of MN through this occupation, and those who allowed that terrorizing to go on unchecked. That includes MPD.

E-3 AWACS moved to "destroyed" column.

NGL, I'm legit concerned for those other planes that have been labelled "damaged."

Just did an hour-long interview on US options in Iran - from minesweeping and convoys to amphibious landings and SOF ops. Talking it all through - the lack of planning, the risk to troops and civilians, the dearth of logic - really hammered home the unbelievable stupidity of it all. I need a drink.

CPAC turns on Trump, support impeachment. www.themirror.com/news/us-news...

Iran took out a fucking E-3 Sentry AWACS parked on the ground. that's the literal definition of high-value asset. great job Pete, your war is going awesome.

And just fyi: these lines on the outside were for TSE Pre

The Guardian published a cartoon mocking the 15-point "peace plan" that Trump proposed to Iran. Most of the points boil down to a simple request: "Give me oil", while others demand confessions like "Say you love me" and "Admit that you need me". 1/2

Sure am glad the U.S. Congress thoroughly debated the merits of this war and the American public had a chance to weigh in regarding this expenditure of blood and treasure before the legislative branch ultimately decided it was worthwhile and voted to authorize it. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Russia is supplying Iran with strike drones for its war against the United States, the Financial Times reports, citing Western intelligence. According to the report, Moscow and Tehran agreed on deliveries at the beginning of the conflict. I wrote about this at the very start of the war in Iran.

What was Trump’s impeachment for?

Congress doesn’t need to authorize the use of force “because we’re currently in major combat operations in Iran.” Yeah, that is not actually how war powers are allocated under the U.S. Constitution.

Abysmal failure. Nosedive territory.

Traitors trait.

OTD 1949 March Deportations (Operation Tidal Wave in russian) started. USSR deported 90 000 Estonian 🇪🇪, Latvian 🇱🇻 and Lithuanian 🇱🇹 civilians marked as "enemies of the state" 70% of them women and children. It was followed up bu next wave in April. If you ever wonder why #NATO is popular in here

Trump calling mail-in voting “cheating” and trying to ban it then voting by mail himself (again) as Republicans lose a Mar-A-Lago state house seat is really perfection 💋

The fact that Trump cast a **mail-in ballot** in the election that was just won by a Florida Democrat, an election in which he publicly backed the Republican, an election in Mar-a-Lago’s district, is what I like to call a real hoot.

Important article that calls into question: 1) Nature of U.S. role in this operation 2) Identity of the target 3) Conduct of U.S. partner force

Wild. Rubio actually went through with it. www.notus.org/courts/marco...

“New Mexico got a historic $375 million jury verdict in the first of several cases nationwide against Meta.” Yesterday I heard a “did Instagram make your teen depressed? Join our class action lawsuit” ad on the radio. Knives are out. I hope every state and every parent sues Meta into oblivion.

So, the Obama deal.

Class Action now?

Tucker Carlson, a conservative commentator now under scrutiny in the U.S., has long drawn criticism in Ukraine for amplifying narratives aligned with the Kremlin — a record that is gaining fresh attention as he claims he could face criminal charges at home.
