online MAGA men are falling for the AI creation "Jessica Foster," who is a combination US Army adviser to Trump and foot fetish model. The character already has nearly a million Instagram followers.

An extraordinary social media post from one "ally" to another.

Ukrainian interceptor drone makers say they can export 5,000-10,000 units monthly without affecting Ukraine's own defense, Reuters reported. SkyFall's P1-SUN costs $1,000 per unit and has downed over 1,500 Shaheds in four months. The US and Qatar are in talks to purchase. #Ukraine

Throughout the week we've sat down with some of our researchers to capture their insights as the conflict in Iran develops. We have now distilled these conversations into a single video for you. For excerpts from each interview see the below thread. www.rusi.org/news-and-com...

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. www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Iranian hardline clerics seek swift naming of new supreme leader reut.rs/40Pm05v

Kurdish fighters could enter Iran as the US/Israeli air attack's missing ground force. Sounds logical but it's reckless. Think Libya, think previous US use and abandonment of the Kurds. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

"The only ones who need to be worried right now is the Iranians who think they're gonna live" -Pete Hegseth, Very Normal Guy

Trump envoy Witkoff promises "more progress" on the Russia-Ukraine war in coming weeks.

Did we say please and thank you? Did Vance wear his best suit? What a fucking sick joke.

More to my argument that Epic Fury is a punitive expedition👇 “Trump marveled at the success of the military op against Iran & expressed no concern about what comes next. ‘Forget about next…They are decimated for a 10-year period before they could build it back’” www.stripes.com/theaters/mid...

Nearly a week after the initial attacks, President Trump and his administration’s stated goals for the war on Iran remain unclear. History teaches us that proceeding without a plan won’t bring democracy. Marwan Muasher explains: carnegieendowment.org/emissary/202...

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

History shows Congress rarely funds defense requests in full. What happens when the shortfall runs into the hundreds of billions?

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte repeated his praise for President Trump's 'type of leadership' in an exclusive Reuters interview in Brussels on March 5, as fighting in the Middle East intensifies following US and Israeli airstrikes against Iran

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Breh

"Thousands of Kurdish fighters have begun ground activity inside Iran from areas near the Iraqi border, according to senior American and Israeli officials." www.jpost.com/middle-east/...

Has. Emphasis on has. Its been years Rutte, stop trying to make up excuses for this war.

BREAKING: Iranian Shahed kamikaze drones have just struck the territory of Nakhchivan Airport in Azerbaijan.

Sounds like Israeli SOF may be operating inside Iraq (presumably setting up FARPs and the like for aircraft that en route to/from Iran or ground launched munitions)—and some of them may have gotten into a shootout with Iraqi forces

It will never cease to amaze me that these guys agree to a Chotiner interview and think they’ll come out of it looking great. Truly stunning.

Trump weighing US role in Iran after conflict, White House says reut.rs/4raN3TC

Israel is fighting on multiple fronts as strikes with Iran intensify and Hezbollah reenters the fray. What comes next could reshape the region. (Members Only) Listen here: warontherocks.com/ep...

This is the point. If your vaunted trillion-dollar military can't get through a few days of airstrikes because you've consolidated the industrial base so badly, then you don't have a trillion-dollar military, you just have contractors in No. Virginia getting rich

“Disillusioned with the West over Gaza, Arab countries are not only trading more with Russia; they are also more willing to criticize Kyiv.” Ruslan Suleymanov on the Arab world’s shift on the war in Ukraine.

💥🦅 In Dubai, the wreckage of a drone with the Russian marking "Geran-2" was found. Fragments of the drone were discovered after another Iranian attack on the UAE near the port of Jebel Ali.

F-15 loses its perfect record to the HORNET?????

Polymarket has created a betting market on the use of nuclear weapons. Everyone involved in this should be put in prison for life.

Exactly. First you let Platner in the door, then you get Neera Tanden retweeting Nick Fuentes, and then your big tent is a fucking Nazi hangout. No fucking Nazi shit. Period.

Time to stop the Trump sane-washing. Iran is a strategically meaningless war. This is Trump- driven by a narcissistic personality disorder, amplified by neuro-diverse traits that heighten impulsivity & fixation on a single idea- chasing a “war president” adrenaline rush without a coherent objective.

I am seriously questioning how all those russian youtubers with pet leopards got access to their big cats. It's an illegally traded, extremely high maintenance murder labrador that you... milk for yt ad revenue. What the hell.

My latest for @themoscowtimes.com on women, masculinity and #Russia's war against #Ukraine

After 4 years vilifying disinformation researchers for having the temerity to study information threats to democracy, Trump is suddenly raising the banner of “foreign election interference” to attempt to justify his unlawful actions at home & abroad. www.thewayfinder.net/p/magas-elec...

Israel used 2,000+ bombs in the first 30 hours of the Iran war; the US struck 1,000+ targets in the first 24 hours. Iran responded with at least 390 missiles and 830 drones in the first two days. Bellingcat has tracked the munitions used by all sides so far: www.bellingcat.com/news/2026/03...

Translation: he didn't have enough weapons to fight his war of choice and so he is blaming Ukraine

Ukraine is under pressure to let the EU inspect a damaged pipeline carrying Russian oil to Hungary and Slovakia, as the two pro-Kremlin countries accuse Kyiv of overstating the impact of an attack by Moscow — despite what Ukrainian officials say is evidence of extensive destruction.

🇨🇳🇮🇷❌ China is pressuring Iran to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and avoid attacking oil and LNG shipments, as Beijing relies heavily on Gulf energy supplies, especially Qatari gas, - Bloomberg Chinese officials urged Tehran not to target energy routes critical to global and Chinese markets.

1/ Russian commentators are sounding the alarm over America's use of a new kamikaze drone against Iran, the Low-cost Unmanned Combat Attack System (LUCAS). They note that it appears to have an integrated Starlink terminal and warn that it's a serious threat to Russia. ⬇️

Trump spent the last 15 years railing against US military campaigns in the Middle East. He told his base he’d ‘MAGA’ by solving their problems at home instead of wasting taxpayer money on endless wars abroad. In his dementia he may have forgotten that, but American voters won’t.

Reminder that people in Iran are still living under repressive conditions where security forces can still knock on someone’s door. Not everything needs to be geolocated and shared publicly, especially footage filmed from inside buildings that could reveal someone’s home.

assassination of iranian supreme leader is not regime change. we remain far from that, at least for now.

WSJ reporting that the U.S. used Claude for the air strikes in Iran. Centcom has been using Claude "for intelligence assessments, target identification and simulating battle scenarios" www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Very good list
