The stages of losing a war:
1. Start a war with no agreed war aims
2. Never plan using available data (eg 50 years of work on Hormuz scenario)
3. Spout data with little relevance to the conflict (eg ships, a/c sunk)
4. Disregard adverse reports
5. Cast aspersions on the messenger: now
6. Next: lie
Board and seize every russian shadow fleet tanker now. Otherwise, all the "We stand with Ukraine!" talk is just a lie.
Wow, is that the reason? I never wouldn’t have known that.
Trump lifting oil sanctions on Russia will not lower the price of gasoline in the United States by a single cent.
Increased oil revenue for the Putin-Kremlin crime syndicate will exacerbate Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians and Russian-Iranian attacks on the U.S. military.
Mobile Internet has been shut off in Moscow for some time now.
This means that payments, online maps, delivery services, taxis and many other things don't work.
Russians are buying pagers and paper maps. The "special military operation" is going according to plan.
Wild Hornets, maker of the STING drone interceptor used to take down Shaheds, denies WSJ report on talks with Saudi Aramco. They get daily export requests from the Gulf and EU but stay focused on Ukraine's military.
12 March 1912 | Polish Jewish woman Ala Gertner was born in Będzin.
She was incarcerated in #Auschwitz in August 1943. She worked in the „Union” munition factory from where, together with other women, she smuggled gunpowder to the Sonderkommando resistance.
She was hanged on 6 January 1945.
12 March 1927 | Polish Jewish girl, Ella Zajdman, was born in Warsaw. She emigrated to France.
She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Drancy on 4 November 1942. She did not survive.

The intensity of the strikes is only increasing every day. If we manage to make the project as cheap as possible and scale it up even further, the combination of FPV + FP will minimize any safe stay of the occupier on our land.
I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment.
Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off.
The 25th is never happening.
The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
More and more, Trump is making US institutions behave like Putin’s Russian versions. This was an immediate military coverup of something that should have been admitted:
More and more rot.
OTD in 1938 the Austrian Anschluss. A dictator sent his army over the border & later had illegal referendum with rigged result that violated numerous treaties. The West expressed only “concern” which turned out not to be enough to prevent war….
Imagine that happening today.
They withdrew the minesweepers themselves 4 months prior to starting the war.
Still, the Iran regime is very determined and has been preparing (www.axesandatoms.com/p/10-days-of...) for this war for years while this administration seems to discover war as it goes : bafriedman.substack.com/p/orphaned-t...
3) Iran attacks some merchant ships in the Gulf and there are reports that Iran has deployed a small number of mines.
4) Trump says the war is a great success and looks desperately around for a way to end it.
Its breathtaking strategic incompetence battling with out of complete ignorance.
But when they send Vance to try to destroy the welfare state in Minnesota, they do call that a “war.”
Call it what it is, but Trump's fascism is on clear display. But so is the resistance. Protests are growing and polls are shifting. Here’s your reminder that the American ideal is stronger than any one man. Deep-dive in my recent Substack article at the link in my reply.
You can have the best armed forces in the history of the world, but if you are an incompetent criminal without a plan, you can still lose a war, and rather quickly.
"The actual Trump is so solipsistic, so plainly consumed with narcissism, so deeply indifferent to the details of governance and so eager to satisfy his basest impulses that there was little chance he’d ever complete the authoritarian consolidation of his dreams."
Fact: There are nights when Ukrainian soldiers shoot down over a hundred Shaheds using STING interceptors.
Another fact: we assemble one STING in just 2 minutes.
In short — more to come!
This guy won’t be Michigan’s governor. Nor even the GOP nominee. But he was once thought to be a sensible governing partner.
Years from now there will be an entire genre of political psychology research on the countless grown men who torched their reputations to get Trump’s attention—but failed.
Ukraine never executed own citizens en-masse for nothing, like ayatollahs 🤷♂️ The only time Janukivich tried to do something similar to KSIR - he was expelled by citizens. I wish Iranians will do the same to KSIR barbarians
🇨🇦💪Keep up the good work eh! 👍🍁
NO THANKS NAZILAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11 March 1934 | A French Jew, Marcel Milsztejn, was born in Paris.
He arrived at #Auschwitz on 31 August 1942 in a transport of 1,000 Jews deported from Drancy. He was among the 676 people murdered after selection in a gas chamber.
Step inside Colchester Castle after dark on 10 April for a guided tour beyond the everyday visitor experience.
What a disgrace: the great nuclear and oil power Ukraine has been humiliating itself for five years now, unable to defeat and drive the small brave Russia out of its territory — and they were planning to hold a victory parade on Red Square in three days!
Also, how is US public opinion reacting to the attacks and what would herald an end of the war.
Don’t worry, I sent all of this to John Moolenaar, my GOP rep. I feel certain he will be on the house floor demanding answers today. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Saying that you -must- be grateful is what domestic abusers and Russian prison guards do. You must take the violence and say you like it. It is a mark of fascism.
