Only do social media for Ukraine (used to be Israel as well - but no longer). Can’t wait to quit it all. Pic is my dog “swoops”, a better pick for US President.

Every single person who bought Tesla stock five years ago and has been holding it is a loser. No dividends. No stock buybacks. Zero asset appreciation in five years. Meanwhile the S&P 500 index fund is up 65% over the same period.

Now is the time Europe has to put boots on the ground. America has betrayed the world.. You can sit there and worry about what’s happened, or get active about what happens next if all you do is worry. Canada and Australia too

Six Ukrainian private companies now make small turbojet engines in series. Eleven more are developing them. Brave1 only opened a dedicated funding line in 2025. Getting from zero to first production capacity took more than 1.5 years.

🔥 BREAKING Ukraine's Ministry of Defense says its forces hit six Su-34M bombers in Voronezh Oblast this week. Four were destroyed. Two were damaged. The strike used Navy Neptune missiles fired at an airfield deep inside Russia. The ministry says the campaign reaches well beyond that one airfield.

Trump is losing the midterms and has already picked the people to blame. Not himself, obviously. Never himself. THE BLAME GAME By Axios-style accounts of the mood inside the party, Trump is pinning the Republican slide on his own staff. His targets are James Blair, who runs the MAGA Inc.

He either believes this and is too dumb to have the responsibility of sending our servicemembers into harm's way or he doesn't believe this and lacks the integrity to have the responsibility of sending our servicemembers into harm's way

February 2025 The US announced it had switched sides. People have been in denial about it ever since then.

heepst@heepst.bsky.social

The vote at the UN in February 2025 was not a fluke. The USA wasn't dragged into the position of refusing to condemn Russia's war. Negotiations with Russia don't necessitate it. Even China abstained. This is US foreign policy now. Take a look to see who your new allies are.

Does anybody know why Putin isn't declaring mobilisation when they are literally bleeding soldiers every day and if this keeps going there'll be none left? Is he too scared he'll be hung by his own people? Surely he knows there aren't any Russians left who are courageous enough to topple him!

If Zelensky steps down, he would be replaced by Stefanchuk (next in line by constitution). He would continue the same policy, bombing the same refineries. In hypothetical elections (actually impossible) maybe Poroshenko or Budanov win, also the same policy. There's no "surrender party" in Ukraine.

Sovereignty isnt a slogan. Ukraine decides its own terms, targets, and future. Not Moscow, not Washington, not anyone else.

Punishing The Orbit Bombs break fixed positions, drones suppress what survives and open routes through the obstacles, and infantry follows on foot to take the ground. The problem is timing: a bomb can remove a building in seconds, but the infantry meant to exploit it may still be days away.

The Retraction Loop The northern claw is gone, collected the way these things always are — the arrows showed up to record a result produced weeks earlier. Lyman is the reference; this is what it costs.

The military strategy that is consistently failing? The military strategy that relies upon Putin believing the lies of his generals and thinking that large advances are being made and that victory is inevitable? That military strategy?

Also we’re raising the price of your sandwich subscription (again!) to cover the costs of supply chain disruptions and we’ve integrated AI into your sandwich to save you time—it will now eat itself!

Jamie Smart@jamiesmart.bsky.social

Can’t eat a sandwich until you subscribe to sandwiches. Can’t eat today’s sandwich until it has applied daily sandwich updates. Sandwich now has adverts even though you paid for ad-free sandwich. Can pay again to have less sandwich adverts. Now you can eat the sandwich, but it’s smaller.

A recent news article also explained that demining robots are much faster at clearing mines than are humans. So operations are speeding up at both ends.

SPECTR is what you get when Ukraine fights a data-rich war with a manpower-poor bureaucracy. The MoD already runs tablets showing real-time drone tracks and brigade effectiveness. Collection stopped being the bottleneck. Interpretation became the bottleneck. This platform automates the staff work.

A Ukrainian logistics UGV just pulled off a battlefield recovery no crew would survive. One ground robot flipped. Another rolled in, hooked up, and dragged it back onto its wheels through the mud. No medevac. No armored recovery vehicle. No risk to soldiers.

Watching the Dollar empire crumble because they elected a demented conman (twice) has such a beautiful kudos to it. There’s no way back from these changes. A proper Eurobond market and it’s pretty much all over for those hooligans in The White House (And America eventually).

THE ATTACK THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN It was so imminent Trump returned from Camp David early and the military were clearly prepping, with B-1 bombers leaving late at night from Fairford. I was told the Houthis were about to get walloped again for their transgressions against the Saudis. Iran issued a Code

Moscow just imposed a 10-day curfew in Kingisepp and Slantsy districts, right on the Estonian border near Narva. Estonia’s border service calls it unusual and is watching. The Interior Ministry says the security situation is unchanged. That’s the point. It responds to something else entirely.

I worry what will happen when Macron goes in May and the cypher of Marine Le Pen's stooge is elected. The party is deeply tied to RUSSIA, financed by Russia.

Zero-sum was set by the invader, not by us. Anyone selling a both-sides settlement is pricing Ukrainian graves as a discount on someone elses comfort.

​One of russia's most tragically underreported war crimes is its constant targeting of first responders, the very people whose job is to save lives. ​This is Yevhen Shelest. On September 11, paramedic Yevhen was killed in the line of duty when russian drone struck

This. As usual Europe will waffle a bit and then fail to understand the point.

The goal is to break the renewal cycle, create precedent, and make every future package a hostage negotiation. If the EU cannot renew a list of 3,000 names because two capitals want carve-outs for oligarchs, then the sanctions architecture itself is failing. Not because of Russian military strength.

The usual EU negotiations. Mid-level politicians also need to eat canapées and drink pink bubbly you know. It will be sorted in the end.
