Russia is providing intelligence to Iran on locations of US military assets in the Middle East — US officials. (WaPo)
In other words, Putin is helping Iran kill American service members.
Now would be a good time for the US to restart intelligence sharing with Ukraine on Russian military assets.

C'est un séisme : la Cour suprême vient d'invalider une grande partie des tarifs douaniers de Donald Trump. Anne Deysine, professeure de droit, nous expliquait en décembre le caractère décisif que prendrait cet arrêt, et envisageait les possibilités qu'aurait le Président de s'y opposer.

The story of how Britain aided 🇺🇸 by sabotaging attempts at establishing EU autonomous defence is one I recount in my new book www.TheOwnedContinent.eu
Until 2004 🇬🇧 blocked. Then once Poland & Baltics joined they too stood in the way. Because 🇺🇸 said no, and they didn't trust their fellow Europeans.
Sounds a lot like the EU Defence Union that the UK spent decades blocking while it was a member of the union.
Rearmament would be a lot cheaper with such a union and would actually give Europe the capacity for autonomous defence, which the current NATO spending plans do not.
It’s been that kind of week.

Timeline chart shows number of daily posts across seven alt-platforms popular with right-wing communities that mentioned "antifa," radicalism, or terrorism while discussing Minnesota from Dec. 28 to Jan. 27. The chart shows its two largest spikes on the days federal officers killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
After federal officers killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, right-wing media reinvigorated dubious claims associating anti-ICE organizing with left-wing domestic terrorism. Across 7 platforms, we saw those narratives spike after officers killed Good, and against after they killed Pretti

A photo of the front cover of issue 1667 of Private Eye magazine, with the caption “on shelves now.” The main cover line reads “AMERICAN AGGRESSION – GREENLANDERS SPEAK OUT.” The central image shows two polar bears standing upright on snowy ground, facing each other. Speech bubbles add commentary: one bear says, “Trump’s most dangerous when he’s cornered and hungry,” while the other replies, “And we thought global warming was our biggest threat!” A strapline beneath the image reads, “PRIVATE EYE’S DEFIANT MESSAGE: ‘WE ARE FOR SALE – JUST £2.99!’”
