Ig Nobels to move awards to Europe due to concern over US travel visas Scientific awards – which honor research that makes people laugh and then think – to move away from ‘unsafe’ US

The Ig Nobel awards (for science that makes you laugh and think at the same time) have traditionally been given in the US but this year they are moving because of concerns about safety of winners and journalists from Trumps regime

Ukraine's Flamingo missile maker promises FP-9 ballistics will reach Moscow "The FP-9 will be able to strike targets in Moscow easily," Fire Point's owner, Denys Shtilierman, said.

Ukraine's most famous missile maker start-up is trialing a new ballistic weapon that the firm claims will reach Moscow by the end of the summer.

Ukraine has provided more military aid to the United States in 2026 than received in the last 13 months.

Russia shares locations of US soldiers with Iran

Ukraine helps defend US soldiers from Iranian drones, while being bombed by Russia

Trump lifts sanctions on Russian oil after his illegal war pushes up oil prices

And wants Ukraine to surrender

Make it make sense

If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far. Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them — But I hope, and pray, that it does not happen! This is a gift from the United States of America to China, and all of those Nations that heavily use the Hormuz Strait. Hopefully, it is a gesture that will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump is completely flailing. He didn't anticipate the economic blowback and now he's trying to undo the past 10 days and contain the damage.

Heute ist #Frankreich Gastgeber eines internationalen Gipfels zum “Neustart” der #Atomenergie.

Le Parisien erinnert derweil daran, wie abhängig Frankreich immer noch, im 4. Jahr des russischen Kriegs gegen die Ukraine, von #Uran aus #Russland ist.

Similarly, we should think about the arm twisting which parts of the US administration are trying to do to the Gulf states to make them actively participate in a war which they didn’t start, don’t want and weren’t even warned about in advance.

That’s gonna bamboozle the manbaby

This level of incoherence about things that matter would generate a call for removal in every other major institution in the Western world other than the American Presidency.

Ah, so this is all the Iranian people’s fault.

Putin's wars are all wars of choice, pursued for imperialist restoration, out of a position of strength and expected impunity. One of Russia's greatest propaganda achievements convincing the bulk of American pundits and IR folks that it fights out of fear, humiliation, and prevention.

Trump announced lifting of some oil sanctions on Russia.

The SAME DAY we send OUR soldiers to defend YOUR bases with weapons developed at the cost of Ukrainian lives, you let those who killed them rebuild their cash reserves so they can kill more of us.

FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE!!!!

Electing this guy twice is really bad. But the real reason the US cannot be trusted is that it has been unable to impeach him.

saying that trump is giving “conflicting signals” here really, really sanewashes how completely incoherent this is, but everyone’s looking for the barest shred of something to hold onto rather than admit the obvious

In and of itself, a signal the person saying it is, in Bertie Wooster’s phrasing, ripe for a first class single to Colney Hatch.

Bring back shame

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

If there's a even a realistic challenger for [Citation Needed] Of The Year, 2026 will have been a vintage year.

Somewhat resembling a goldfish in being bright orange and having about 10 seconds of object permanence before drifting off onto something else.

Russian readout on Trump-Putin phone call shows Putin continues to gaslight Trump about how "Russian troops are advancing quite successfully."

Assume Trump has no idea that Russia lost ground in February and only took about .7% of Ukrainian territory in 2025 while taking massive losses.

Opinion | Trump Can Win Something Greater Than the Nobel Peace Prize — The Wall Street Journal If the president ends the regimes in Iran and Cuba, he will cripple the global anti-American movement.

The basic premise that Iran, Venezuela, and Cuba have awful regimes no one should support is obviously true but Trump is neither ending the regimes nor has any plan to counter the main rogue int’l actor— Ru— which is reaping collateral benefits as we speak. apple.news/ACnA6QjgxR8O...

I hope Ukrainian companies stay away from these two chumps. Or let them get swindled in the worst possible way by some scammers; that'll be some justice.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)

This is an atrocity.

Or alternatively this is creative oil price management just before a final wave of big strikes

Donald Trump announces the war is over. Or we’re launching a naval invasion of Bandar Abbas.
