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.

Eliminated: Belaya (31.05): 7 Tu-160; 6 Tu-95MS; 2 Il-78M; 6 An-26; 2 An-12; 39 Tu-22M3; 30 MiG-31. Olenya (26.05): 11 Tu-95MS; 5 An-12; 40 Tu-22M3. At least 2 more airbases were also attacked: Ivanovo and Dyagilevo Source: AviVector via MAKS25

💥THIS IS AMAZING! Ukrainian drone operators destroying Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers in real time 1800 and 4400km from the frontline! Olenegorsk and Belaya airbases.

Thank you to everyone who retweeted and donated. We got 4k fundraised today, much less than expected, but it will pick up next week I’m sure. Much respect to everyone

He almost sounds sane if you stop reading after “Happy Memorial Day”

Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirms that all range restrictions on weapons delivered by Germany have been removed.

Having to ask homeowners for permission to take things out of their houses would kill the theft industry.

It’s not Zelensky’s war or Biden’s war or Trump’s war. It is Putin’s war. Why can’t Trump simply say that? Why is he obsessed with blaming everyone else? It is a simple and obvious truth that should be stated with moral clarity. But the US president is a liar and a coward.

Ah I see sending a real estate developer friend to proxy negotiate the end of an autocratic invasion is not going so well

In the meantime, Trump is speaking to his supporters about young trophy wives and how Putin wants peace. Trump is a #RussianAsset

If you like your contra indicators dressed up in bright colors I have some excellent news! Dan Ives, who lowered his $TSLA price target from $550 to $315 AFTER the stock dropped from $480 to $220, has raised his target from $350 to $500 AFTER it moved from $220 to $340 absolute clown show

the President of the United States, everyone

This may be one of the most insane ones ever.

You can see Grok in full "Kill the Boer" action here, it's very funny, but also a reflection of the digital feudalistic nightmare we're all part of, so that's bad x.com/search?q=fro...

German authorities have classified the the AfD: confirmed right-wing organization. Previously, it has been discovered that several members of the AfD have connections with Russian or Chinese state organizations.

I like how @jordanklepper.bsky.social of the Today Show recently answered a similar question, I'll try to convey the gist of it: As long as we're talking about "what we want", we can have a discussion no matter how far apart our views are. We may still not agree but good points will reverberate. /1

Funny thing this.

Justin Wolfers explains the REAL reason why Trump & Bessent said today that their first deal will likely be with South Korea - because that country has had zero tariffs on virtually everything from the US for 20 years already.

While we are in the minority, it's worth pointing out that we don't operate alone, we are enabled. Trump isn't rendering people to El Salvador personally. Prez isn't personally torturing journalists to death.

“Chinese and Russian satellites in both low Earth orbit and geostationary Earth orbit continue to display more and more advanced maneuvering capabilities, demonstrating operator proficiency and tactics…that can be used for space warfighting” www.csis.org/analysis/spa...

President Macron reacted to massive Russian attack of Ukraine. He said that while Putin says to the whole world "I want peace," he continues to bomb Ukraine. "The only thing to do is for Putin to finally stop lying. America's anger must be directed at only one person, president Putin,"he said

“Zelensky survived a dozen Russian assassination attempts including a special forces assault on his presidential complex.He stood up to Trump. I’m sure he’ll be deeply impressed to learn our Congressional Republicans live as terrified hostages of their own party leader.” ~ @michaeldweiss.bsky.social

Trump now invoking the widely recognized “following the law is too much work” exception to due process. Courts usually HIGHLY sympathetic to this argument. 🙄
