Trump wants "unconditional surrender" by the ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท regime, but he's more likely to find it in the Yellow Pages than in ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท. Now Trump and Bibi face an increasingly beliggerent regime. As the days go by, the wide-ranging consequences of the war get worse and worse!

Theyโ€™re trying to get the US military out of the area. All the Gulf countries host US bases. I interpret that the regime is saying โ€œkick US forces out and weโ€™ll stop shootingโ€!

While president Trump pursues regime change ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท will ignite as many fires in the Middle East as possible. The fantasy that ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท people will rise up and install peaceful and stable governance is delusional. We're likely headed for ears of increased instability!

During the fifth year of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ assault on ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ, increasing pressure on autocrats and wannabe dictators is likely. Their stance will harden and therefore, supporters of democracy, freedom and International Law must show increasing resolve!

A Russian drone was intercepted by Swedish armed forces as it approached French carrier Charles De Gaulle, currently docked in south Sweden.

Took of from a Russian ship but disappeared after electronic warfare actions were taken.

Sunday afternoon I had the pleasure of joining my friend @thekenharbaughshow.bsky.social for a chat about ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ rescue of a ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธsubmariner off ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ and Trumpโ€™s insane idea of sending a hospital ship (not boat) up there.

Media globally should go breaking after ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ฐ Defence saved a ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ submarine crew member 7 nm from Nuuk๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ. Instead Trump managed to divert the attention to his insane propaganda stunt about the hospital ship. Trump is the master manipulator of the media๐Ÿคก

The so-called ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ "peace negotiations" in Geneva will lead nowhere. There's an abundance of evidence. The latest was Rubio's speech in Munich which was like "lipstick on a pig".

"Arctic Sentry" is a diplomatic middle finger to the Trump administration and takes the wind out of the delusional allegations of ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ and ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ threats towards ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ.
The fight for ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ฑ isn't over, but the first battle went to the Kingdom of Denmark supported by our European allies and ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.
Yes we can!

Once again, Kirill Dimitriev has been at it proposing huge deal with Trump Inc. It's been the ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ standard operating procedure since election night when Trump won in 2016. Meanwhile, ๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ continues to pound civilian targets in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ.
