Planet satellite imagery indicates Proton-Electrotex in Oryol has been functionally destroyed. Both production workshops sustained major damage, including partial roof and wall collapses, while the plant’s clean-room areas were also hit. #Russia

🇺🇦🚀 Zelensky: Some countries think they need to keep their interceptors for themselves. They are ready to help Ukraine, but first they need to defend themselves. But that will not help if Ukraine falls, if Russia breaks our defensive lines.

What this shows is that kissing Trump’s ass always fails. He reacts only to pressure. In this case terrible US polling, screaming Republicans, and catastrophic damage being done to US defense companies.

I stand with President Zelenskyy 👇

Vivek is vile. It’s a horrible ad. But the good news is that the ad will destroy him.

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?

It's time to defund Elon. robertreich.substack.com/p/defund-musk

Senator Elizabeth Warren Is Correct.......

The pedo party

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

Absolutely. 👇

If you think a test for dementia is an IQ test, you have dementia. If you don't realize you have been given a test for dementia because your physician suspects you have dementia, you have dementia. If you think being able to tell a giraffe from a whale makes you a genius . . . you have dementia.

With Trump's removal of Starlink, Russians are now hunting cars full of people in Kyiv, using jet drones for which Ukraine's interceptors no longer function to stop. Three people murdered an hour ago in southern Kyiv, with six others injured, three of which are children.

Ukraine’s HUR released footage of counter-sabotage operations by First Company reconnaissance troops from the Bratstvo Battalion, part of Timur’s Special Unit. The missions take place in dense vegetation that has grown across the former bed of the Kakhovka Reservoir in Zaporizhzhia region. #Ukraine

🤯 WOW: A Ukrainian Yak-52 backseat gunner shoots down Russian Shahed attack drones with a rifle.

💥 Operators of the 21st brigade of NGU shot down jet drone Geran-3 jet with interceptor drone, which exploded very effectively.

5/ First, it's worth highlighting that SpaceX had no commercial or legal rationale for intervening. There's no indication that Ukraine, a paying customer, was breaking its contract or violating its terms of service.

4/ Except that it now *has* happened, according to the reporting of @telegraph.co.uk. This has profound implications for the US defence industry.

3/ To be clear, at the time this was purely hypothetical. There were no clearly identified kill switches and no concrete indication that Trump could or would do this. Advocates for the US defence industry dismissed the possibility that it could or would ever happen.

2/ When Trump returned to power in 2024, many people expressed concerns that he might use a supposed "kill switch" in exported US military equipment – especially the F-35 – to force purchasers to do his bidding.

1/ The Musk-Trump decision to degrade Ukraine's Starlink access as a pressure tactic is a disaster not just for the United States' reputation but for the entire US defence industry. Musk's action may end up burning the whole industry. ⬇️

Magyar’s Birds demonstrate a drone bombing tactic against Russian infantry hiding in a building. The first, smaller bomb punches a hole in the roof, and the second drops straight through it, demolishing the building with the Russian soldiers inside.

A jet-powered UAV fell inside a park in Kyiv. Footage captured the moment the drone came down. #Ukraine

🇬🇧‼️🇺🇸 Boris Johnson: It is sickening that USA is now lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, and transparently ridiculous to blame Ukraine for the spike in prices that obviously began with closure of Strait of Hormuz. Putin is murdering innocent Ukrainian civilians. Ukrainians fighting for their lives.

This exchange between Russian Yandex and the Ukrainian missile company Firepoint.

Love this 👇

absolutely demented. like a scene from a horror movie

Two Ukrainian turtle tanks attack Russian positions. They withstand numerous hits from FPV drones and mines. They are accompanied by a heavy bomber drone Vampire, an FPV drone, and a Mavic. 🇺🇦475th Assault Regiment

And the fleecing of the American taxpayer continues...

Five corporations control 90% of the US media. Airlines have merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

God this is going so well. I haven’t laughed this hard in so long!

I must share with you this epic community note on Twitter 😂

I never thought we would end up in a situation where people openly and boldly support an outed senile pedophile.

Nailed it 👇🏽 🎯 #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

The first documented shootdown of a jet-powered Geran-5 by a Shahed-style jet-powered interceptor drone. Geran-5 can reach up to 600 km/h.

Ukraine’s 425th Skelia Regiment broke through Russian positions to extract soldiers of the 159th Brigade who had been encircled, some after up to 11 months on their positions. The operation brought out 21 Ukrainian troops and two civilians while nine Russian soldiers were taken prisoner. #Ukraine

Any lifting of sanctions against Belarus creates a backdoor that allows Russia to import sanctioned weapons components and machinery for producing weapons through Belarus. People in the USA government - CIA, etc - know this. The Trump team is cutting these deals knowing that they're helping Putin .

Andrii Biletskyi refutes Putin’s claim: Sviatohirsk remains under the control of the Third Army Corps. The brigadier general recorded a video address from central Sviatohirsk, with the Holy Dormition Sviatohirsk Lavra in the background.
