Extremely proud to have named another interceptor that stopped a Russian attack drone from reaching its target. Please consider naming your own interceptor! Or, if that's more than you can afford right now, consider donating a lesser amount!

The attack on Kyiv would've been much worse if almost all the drones weren't taken down. Here's the last moment of my victim! (left) You can aggregate smaller donations and you also get raffle tickets. Swat a Shahed! bsky.app/profile/arme...

Stupidest times. We live in the stupidest of times.

Clearing remote mining and FPV ambush points is a particularly interesting and promising area for UGVs.

INCREDIBLY proud to have named one of these interceptors. Slava Ukraini!

"Usyk! Usyk!" —Unbreakable Kyivites during this night's massive ruzzian missiles and drone barrage

The scale of the humiliation the US is experiencing on the global stage is quite something.

Incredibly insightful dialog between @vladvexler.bsky.social and @scaramucci.bsky.social. A major shift in the Western political paradigm is needed to have a chance at defeating the post-truth, quasi-fascist malefactors holding and rising in power in our countries. youtu.be/Qf3w5Ff8p8k

A few thoughts on the @istories.bsky.social story about "a report by an intelligence service of a European Union country on the real situation in the Kremlin and the condition of Vladimir Putin." 🧵 1) The basic idea that Putin is more concerned about his personal security seems plausible. 1/10

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the Iran war: "The Americans clearly have no strategy... This whole affair is ill-considered, to say the least. At the moment, I cannot see what strategic exit the Americans are now opting for... An entire nation is being humiliated."

This is what civilisational decline looks like - when things are getting worse and the actors involved are comically unfit for the task.

In 4 weeks Trump has transformed Iran from a country where people poured into the streets to overthrow the regime into a country where people poured into the streets to stop America. Great work.

France to ban officials from using American video conference tools including Zoom and Teams.

Weird statement by Rutte. First, it is obviously wrong. Given time and the necessary investments, Europe can of course defend itself without U.S. And second: Why undermine European deterrence like that? This message increases the risk that Putin will try to exploit the current fracture in NATO.

I know that when I say uncomfortable things about US actions, both toward allies and internally, I lose some support from conservative circles in the U.S. But that doesn’t matter to me, because being on the right side of history and standing with the Americans who stood with us is far more important

For years, American conservatives have preached about the 2nd Amendment, open carry, and federal authority, yet when a US citizen is shot by federal law enforcement, they rush to conclusions before any investigation has even begun. It has always been about hollow partisanship

Treat the US government and ICE claims like you'd treat a Russian government claim after they've shot down an airliner or bombed a hospital. America 2026.

The brilliance of Carney's "Sign in the Window" speech was that he was not attacking totalitarianism, but the hypocrisy of liberal democracies. It's about how we pretended to believe the fiction of a rules-based international order because it was convenient—and that time has come to be honest.

/2. After the 9/11 attacks, the United States activated Article 5 of NATO, calling for help and support. Allies responded. During the war in Afghanistan, coalition countries other than the U.S. lost around 1,100–1,200 of their soldiers.

/thread/ There is an ongoing debate about the current size of the Russian AFV fleet, losses it has taken, new production level storage+reactivation, etc. Here is my take on the topic

My Republican colleagues must take notice: The U.S. cannot base foreign policy on whether or not a president gets a prize. This is pathetic. It is petty and dangerous narcissism — behavior we might expect from a spoiled child, not the leader of a democratic nation.

In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace” The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

“Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace” - Trump in a letter addressed to the Prime Minister of Norway

Trump can put a million-percent tariffs on Denmark, and it still doesn't change the answer about Greenland. There are only two possible endings to this bizarre story. Either Trump gives up, or else he goes through with a military invasion.

Saying this without judging religions or ideological beliefs as such, I find a dark amusement in watching millions who claim to be devout Christians and defenders of traditional family values cheer for the death of a woman, strip protections from the needy, separate families, and celebrate wars

When I said last year that the average American MAGA supporter closely resembles a Russian vatnik in both mindset and ideology, I meant it seriously.

@anderspucknielsen.dk is as spot on and succinct as always. It shouldn't be possible, but most commentators (shockingly, even European commentators) seem to be understating or missing entirely how fundamentally different US foreign policy is from what we have come to expect. youtu.be/9T4hx4KjyQ8

Chairman JCOS: “Months of planning…” soooo not an imminent threat justifying self-defense

There are huge risks the US is walking into around Venezuela that could lead to scenarios I outlined below 5 weeks ago But as with any dictatorship, Maduro's weak internal legitimacy made him and Venezuela vulnerable to external military intervention bsky.app/profile/aphc...

Anyway, it's hard to see how this makes the US more secure. And I can't help looking at the pictures of this massive naval deployment and thinking about how much it cost relative to giving Ukraine what it needs to defend itself. 10/10

Bipolar Geopolitical ADHD map: making Canada a state, then annex Greenland, slapping tariffs on penguins in the McDonald Islands, calling Zelensky a dictator, threatening to bomb Mexico but bombing Iran, praising Zelensky, pressuring Russia, threatening Venezuela and Nigeria, appeasing Russia

"This is the paradox of modern democracy — that in 2025, our democracies, which are in decline, need bold action to survive, but are designed to smother bold action, if not, make it entirely impossible." Great video by @vladvexler.bsky.social, and this is the most important point from it.

Russia is exploiting economic struggles in developing nations, luring thousands of Africans with promises of escaping poverty - only for many to end up KIA or missing. Key findings from Frontelligence Insight’s analysis of unique mercenary records in Africa and the Middle East:

Without tangible policy shifts, real changes in aid, or the enforcement of sanctions, it’s nothing more than talk - a position that could shift tomorrow or next month again, after Putin’s next call or another “strategic” visit from Witkoff. What matters are actions, not words.

Trump to the UN: "I'm really good at this stuff. Your countries are going to hell."
