Israeli forces destroyed the Arak Heavy Water Reactor, an incomplete nuclear facility around 250 km (150 miles) southwest from Tehran, Iran.

Hegeseth is a disgrace to the thousands of dead and wounded Europeans and others who fought in American wars. It was America's wars (one of them a war of choice) and so the bulk of the effort should be American.

Many things in Gaza, Genocide ain't one

Ehud Barak is absolutely correct in his assessment. on.ft.com/3ZncVkj

US government: let's do business with Russia

Lavrov's statements indicate that Russia continues to conflate the ceasefire and peace settlement processes, as Russia remains committed to making incremental gains on the battlefield indefinitely. ⏬

Exit polls show that pro-European candidate Nikusor Dan is bound to win the second round of the presidential election in Romania.

"From the #Gulf side, these investments are far more than just commercial plays -– they are strategic transactional levers," said Middle East analyst @andreaskrieg.bsky.social www.france24.com/en/live-news...

NEW: TeleMessage, the Signal knockoff used by Mike Waltz and potentially other gov officials to archive group chats in plaintext, has suspended all services after it was hacked *at least twice.* @404media.co reported a hack last night; a different hacker also broke in and gave me evidence.

This has to be some of the weirdest stuff this guy ever said. Once you are in power you own it

This is going great....

man, I'm from Texas and we immediately started with the TEXAS IS BIGGER THAN FRANCE bumper stickers

I remember all the "freedom fries" and "surrender monkeys" aimed at France

if you lived through the lead up to the iraq war then you know that this is the most delusional thing anyone has ever said

VP lecturing "the Europeans" again: "...if the Europeans had been a little more independent, and a little more willing to stand up, then maybe we could have saved the entire world from the strategic disaster that was the American-led invasion of Iraq." Yes, pity Paris and Berlin were so pro-war...

The US has blocked a G7 statement to condemn Russia for its Palm Sunday missile attack on Ukraine's city of Sumy, which killed at least 35 people and injured over 100, including children. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

”Finally, women’s negligées from Ohio and Kentucky, a fan favorite from the Commission’s first proposal, made the final cut; so did men’s undergarments, although they are mostly found in blue state.” It sounds like DG Trade had a bit too much fun with this

Seems reasonably likely Netanyahu knows exactly what he is saying here (i.e., trying to goad Iran into no-deal)

Other countries exempted from tariffs include North Korea and Belarus. The White House claimed Russia was exempted because sanctions imposed over the Ukraine war had eliminated trade with Russia, which per the Admin's data (via USTR), is not true: ustr.gov/countries-re...

This means I now have negative 4 security clearances

Adam Kinzinger’s security clearance is revoked every weekend. Deeply bizarre stuff.

A great article by @johnsipher.bsky.social on the issues surrounding the famous Hunter Biden laptop story and the letter by 51 NatSec professionals alerting to eventual Russian interference open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Off topic but ”the Signal Boys” sounds like a Eurovision entry that fails to qualify

This is stellar....

This made my day

đź’Ż truth

Aaron Maté wants you to know he’s *very* concerned about journalists who work for state-funded outlets… Unless, of course, that someone is his own editor, who gets paid by Iran. In fact, Maté and his ilk are far more compromised than those they attack. Let’s take a look 🧵 x.com/aaronjmate/s...

Satire truly is dead

Naming competition for the Air Force’s new fighter jet: F-47 “Felon?”

And the Dutch tech autonomy crusade continues: The Dutch Central Bank now warns about the security of debit card payments, citing concerns about Europe’s over-reliance on American Visa and Mastercard. nos.nl/artikel/2560...

Pondering more about this, this seems to me a big failure in expectations management. Despite years of Brexit negotiations, my impression was that the overwhelming expectation was that the EU just 'has to' include the UK in anything defence related for its own interests. Well.

Also worth noting that in different ways Putin, Orban and Erdogan captured state institutions to ensure that welfare state benefits and state payments reinforced their power structure Trump and Musk's attempt to dismantle state capacity reflects a different paradigm with very different bad outcomes

Zelensky: "I’ll have a call with Trump today. We will definitely win this war." He added, "Without U.S. intel, we wouldn’t know where Russian ballistic missiles are heading – but we have our own intelligence." On peace, he stated, "Putin shouldn't demand halting aid to Ukraine if he wants peace."

Also not to mention how pathetically audacious it is to first threaten to annex a constituent part of the Kingdom of Denmark and then ask Denmark for eggs

They were nominated because they were spineless cowards.

The French satellite company Eutelsat is stepping in to replace Starlink and intends to deliver around 40,000 communication terminals to Ukraine. Over the past three days, Eutelsat's stock has surged 390%, while @Tesla, @Starlink, @SpaceX, and @X continue to decline

Reuters: SDF signs agreement w/ Damascus. "...all civilian and military institutions in northeast Syria will be integrated within the state, which will thus take over control of borders, airports and oil and gas fields." www.reuters.com/world/middle...

There are too many examples of military operations that are successful or fail due to weather. It’s not like one of the jobs of the S2 is to brief weather and its impact on operations. We really are being led by a bunch of subpar GWOT officers who couldn’t make it pass CPT or MAJ.
