No rally-round-the-flag effect so far here in the US but possibly one emerging in Iran. Incredibly sad and also predictable.

At least two videos of a large fire off the coast of Basra Governorate, Iraq.

New Iran thread: How bad is the oil shock caused by Trump’s failing war? This is the largest oil reserve release in history, in a desperate attempt to keep down prices.
The bigger cost is readiness.
The even bigger damage is readiness. This will leave the US vulnerable for years.
Germany is spending some €10 billion on „SatcomBW Stufe 4“, a military satellite constellation with 100 satellites.

Iran retaining significant launch capabilities, if that is the case, makes doing things like mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz potentially much more difficult. The missile problem and the mine problem are potentially interconnected and greater than the sum of their parts.
That's quite funny, because what you're doing right now is essentially guaranteeing a nuclear Iran.
This is a very good approach.
(And I say approach, rather than outcome, because the headline goes a bit far. But still: well done Ukraine!!)

"The US and its partners in the Gulf most likely burned through well over 1,000 PAC-3 interceptors alone. That’s almost twice the annual production of the weapons and more than the US and its allies have supplied to Ukraine since the Russian invasion four years ago, "
It's all a mystery, isn't it.
It turns out that if you help Ukraine with modern highly effective missiles - and stop trembling in fear of Putin and burying Ukraine under endless absurd restrictions - Russia starts losing key military factories and weapons one after another.
It becomes less capable of continuing this war.

As he's always done.
Uh oh

If history teaches you one thing, it's that you can absolutely 100% without the shadow of a doubt completely trust whatever the Kremlin is saying about its own actions.
Tatsächlich liegt ihr Kernkompetenz wohl im Erhalten von Macht und das Ausnutzen jener für persönliche Ziele. Ihren eigenen Reichtum vermehren sie sehr zielstrebig, und jeder andere Politiker wäre schon längst dafür abgesetzt worden.
Trump does to the US what he has done to all of his enterprises.
He completely misjudges how everything works, let's his destructive personality take control of every decision making, and by doing so he ensures the failure of every objective.
It's incredible that the US public allows him to do so.
No, not at all. But people need to see that's it's not some crazed ramblings of some dudes on social media, but actual reality.
Read this thread.
He allegedly said "he needed help transferring data from a thumb drive “to his personal computer so that he could ‘sanitize’ the data before using it at [the company.] ... [and] that he expected to receive a presidential pardon ... ." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Regarding: ""Research on social media has found that [...] 0.1 % of users shared 80 % of fake news [6,7]. Not only does this extreme minority stir discontent, spread misinformation, and spark outrage online, they also bias the meta-perceptions of most users who passively “lurk” online."
Dieser Thread killt mich. 😂
Iran has fired a ballistic missile towards NATO member Turkey.
What if the United States had a Congress or a Constitution?
🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump declared Sunday that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, dramatically escalating his campaign to force the voter suppression bill through the Senate. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
