The Ukrainian attack on multiple airbases today highlights the progress #Ukraine has made building a long-range strike capability since 2022. There are lessons that western military organisations might take from this. But there are also some insights on this war, and the future of war, as well. 1/5

“It’s hard to think of a more anti-conservative figure than President Donald Trump or a more anti-conservative movement than MAGA,” writes Peter Wehner. “The Trump administration is a thugocracy, and the Republican Party he controls supports him”:

Ukraine could’ve launched the attack on civilian population centers, like Russia does to them daily. Instead, they chose a strictly military target - the very bombers being used to kill Ukrainian civilians. A brilliant operation solely designed to defend their own people.

Such a major blow to Russia’s strategic bomber fleet could have been avoided if Moscow had chosen to engage in peace talks, rather than escalating the war and undermining diplomatic efforts initiated by Kyiv, Washington, and Brussels.

this @adambonica.bsky.social piece deserves to be read beside the yeoman work that @donmoyn.bsky.social and @pamherd.bsky.social have been doing. The dismantling of administrative expertise is one of those stories that is so big that pro journalists with beats find it hard to focus on or explain .

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

Que los mayores ciberataques desde el extranjero recibidos por España en toda su historia no procedan de un dictador maligno, sino de un señor del PP, pues LOL. Ahora que expliquen que el 2 de una red parapolicial del M. Interior del PP actuaba a título individual. www.lasexta.com/noticias/soc...

⚡️ Russian soldiers surrendered because 'abuse in units is worse than captivity,' Ukrainian paratroopers say. Russia's abuse of its own soldiers has been well documented throughout the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Sounds like a lot. But it's not. In practice, such an arsenal of 7,000 armaments will last between 2 weeks and 3 weeks if used conservatively in combat with Russian forces. We (procurement) really need to wake up and face the reality that without overwhelming AND sustained firepower, we will lose.

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

I’m a Russian speaker from Eastern Ukraine, just happened to be born in London. My family, my friends, our whole community speaks Russian. Russia claims to protect us. In reality, they stole our homes, tortured us, killed our friends, shattered everything we built. They even sentenced me to death.
