Interesting.

Europeans who commit long-term to new US weapons orders will see their military undercut during a conflict with Russia if MAGA Republican rule is established in the US.

It'll be interesting to see whether European leaders have a national survival instinct or not.

Taiwan Arms Sale Approved by Congress Is Delayed as Trump Plans Visit to Beijing

You might have missed this with all the other news happening, but it is Trump giving the Chinese government a massive win and further degrading the value of the US as an ally. This should be a major story. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/27/u...

Well hello Belgium!

🇧🇪: 😈

In coming days there will be be a lot of demand for Ukrainian drone-defense technology.

Bombing Iran Is Easy. What Comes Next Is Not. It comes down to a straightforward question: What’s the plan to translate military force into political change?

NEW: "It is true that air campaigns can destroy things. What they cannot do, by themselves, is build political outcomes."

Really superb piece from our @markhertling.bsky.social.

❗️ Maximum progress in the negotiations was recorded in the military subgroup, the issue of control over the demilitarized zone was resolved, - Budanov

⚡️ Russians agreed to accept security guarantees for Ukraine from the US - Budanov

If the russian starts speaking about international law it means the russian is violently uncomfortable with the state of affairs

And my thoughts on the reasons behind attacking Iran: snyder.substack.com/p/why-attack...

As the world watches Iranian “Shahed” drones hit Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai and other places in the Middle East, keep in mind Ukrainians have endured similar bombardment every day and night for years.

The russian terrorist state and Iranian terrorist state combine to attack Ukraine.

The world can once again witness Russia's impotence. The mullah regime, which on paper is Russia's ally, is getting clubbed with zero Russian interference. It is the latest episode showing how weak Russia has become. The word of Moscow is worth nothing for both, friend or foe.

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

As always, we'll worth reading:
"The USA and Israel have started bombing Iran. What we know, what we should be asking, what we should watch out for"

Hello again! It's Day 1465 of Ukraine's fight against a genocidal maniac of a country.

Despite near constant talks, no one dares to say what I guess most of #TeamTim is thinking - we're no nearer peace than we were 4 years ago.

Here's the daily thread for Friday:

Klingt gut.

🚀The very first public footage of Ukraine’s FP-7 ballistic missile launches marks a new chapter in the country’s military capabilities.
