If he had said something like "well, you know, Tomahawks are not the ideal missile for Ukraine because of the normal launch platforms, so maybe we can sell Tomahawks to our allies who have the capability to use them, and could use them to replace other systems that are better suited for Ukraine, and send those systems to Ukraine" I would have been slightly impressed that he thought that far ahead. But if Ukraine ends up with them and he finds out where they are going to use them, I could see him telling some reporter "Well you know, Ukraine has those Tomahawks, and they figured out how to use them and they are going to launch them from these locations, and they plan on targeting these targets in Russia so any Russians living there better be careful." edit: These are the kinds of systems that would be used to launch them on land:

This is the kind of training that NATO and the US needs. For the first time in NATO's history, the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine led, planned, coordinated, and managed the opposing force (OPFOR) during the REPMUS/Dynamic Messenger 25 exercises held in Portugal. The training incorporated modern trends in naval warfare, particularly the use of unmanned systems for coordinated strikes and rapid response to emerging threats. This year's exercises combined REPMUS - the world's leading event in maritime robotics and unmanned technologies - with Dynamic Messenger (DYMS), which is part of NATO's series of operational exercises. During the exercises, unmanned platforms were integrated into the DELTA combat system used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The integration was carried out according to the new NATO standard STANAG 4817, the testing of which was also one of the key goals of the exercise - namely, to verify interoperability, test unmanned systems under various conditions (including electronic warfare), and train operators. Alongside Ukraine, the REPMUS/DYMS 2025 exercises involved naval forces, enterprises, and research centers from 26 partner nations, as well as representatives from NATO's Maritime Command (MARCOM) in Northwood, the NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE), the Laboratory of Underwater Systems and Technologies at the University of Porto (LSTS), and the NATO Maritime Unmanned Systems Initiative (MUSI).

[Q]: Have you made a decision on whether to supply Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine or sell them to NATO and let them sell them to Ukraine? President Trump: Yeah, I've sort of made a decision, pretty much. I think I want to find out what they're doing with them. You know, where are they sending them. I guess I'd have to ask that question.

This is better than any thing I've seen elsewhere on the subject. Crazy that 3 of the top 4 refineries have been hit multiple times - where air defense at? Hey @PTINS 2,000 miles from the Ukrainian border

Imagine if we invaded Mexico 10 years ago and grabbed Baja California, and then three years ago we did a massive “everything but the kitchen sink” invasion, and after 3 years we had barely gotten a swathe of land between say Big Bend National Park and Nuevo Laredo, and that Mexico had even reclaimed some of that.. Now imagine if in the past few months, Mexico has knocked out even just 20% of our refining capacity. Not 38%-40%, just 20% and they are hitting military facilities and oil refineries in Oklahoma and Colorado and Nevada and Louisiana and even out towards Tennessee. And we had lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers killed and another million wounded

The Russians do not understand the cost of all these blackouts, of all the hardships that the people of Ukraine experience and endure during this war. And this is not even a question of their morality, which they lack, but of their physical perception. Ukraine does not kill civilians. But they must understand the price of this. Ukraine strikes back, hitting military targets and energy facilities that sell their energy resources. Russia sells its energy resources and then uses that money exclusively for war. That is why Ukraine is taking absolutely just steps. We would gladly not do this. We would gladly wish there were no war, but the Russians do not want that. For now. That is why only pressure can stop this war. Pressure that is multidirectional. The pressure from Western countries today is not enough. Nor is there enough unity in applying that pressure. We need more pressure from the United States, more pressure from Europe. As for the Global South – we do not yet even feel their pressure on Russia to make it stop. And the second vector is Russian society itself. They are killing us. They cannot be allowed to feel comfortable. And when they no longer feel comfortable, they will begin to raise questions with their leadership.

Are they going to do something towards Belgorod and they are shutting the region down? Or just low-hanging fruit/practice for larger cities? Zelenskyy says it’s part of a pressure campaign.

Horses are low-maintenance in some ways, but either they are out of vehicles (including commandeered civilian cars) or the drones really are that affect at easily picking up vehicles (I'm leaning towards this). If the vast majority of front-line deaths are from drones and not from artillery and small arms fire, it favors Ukraine - they have shorter internal lines (comms, command & control, etc.), and they are on defense - you need 3-5 to 1 to take a defended position, and drones have to make that even more difficult since they pick up movement from far away. Not to mention that we've seen Ukrainian and Russian accounts of the Russians having to keep their guys spread out and doing their assaults with groups of two soldiers so that everybody is spread out and not as vulnerable to drones, and they don't have the numbers they did. If tonight's drone attacks on Russian forces include more attacks on Crimean-based oil & gas infrastructure, that is going to get the internet generals buzzing. That was a large facility and airfield they hit yesterday.

Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

Ehh, just combine the two, we'll call it "Fire Island". Or "Fire Festival" -
Belgorod has over 300,000 people. Would be interesting if this is a run-up to either taking out power for more cities around Russia, or practice runs for some of the largest cities. It could be that they want to make things difficult in Belgorod because it's close and is probably a major hub for pushing supplies and troops into Ukraine. At this point, I doubt they hit that fuel depot in Crimea for shits and giggles - they're probably going to hit the pipelines/pumping stations that push fuel to Crimea sometime soon (and perhaps they already have in the previous weeks), or if they can damage enough of the storage depots, it makes it harder to distribute.

Ukraine doing work tonight, multiple power plants inside of Russia, one of the largest fuel depots in Crimea, air base in Crimea. This is the second thermal power plant - Klintsy This is the first - Luch Thermal Power Plant

Moments ago, Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck the Feodosia fuel terminal in Russian-occupied Crimea, setting the massive storage facility ablaze. The fuel dump is one of the largest in Crimea.

The country western singer in Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts was also driving one, and perfectly on-brand.

If you like stories about medieval history, particularly the Black Plague in Italy, The Decameron is pretty damned good. Didn’t even recognize Tony Hale. Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts is pretty good as well.

For a long time I was a fan of them hammering Moscow in some spectacular attack aimed at the Kremlin. I recognize now that it would play into Putin’s hands of Ukraine being this scary threat to their existence and would get many Muscovites behind him. Instead, a steady strangulation of the oil and gas infrastructure builds the pressure up on the large cities and all citizens, and when it happens over weeks and months it makes Putin look incompetent, impotent, and over his head.

We are talking about a boomer who parrots Fox News talking points and who followed Tucker Carlson for a long time. There’s not much reasoning with a lot of those types. edit: He was…not on the side of Ukraine for a long time. I would love to know what got through to him, but my gut says Trump trash-talking Russia did it.

AISD going down the shitter further. UT aligning itself with Trump. UT football falling apart.

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vučić: Everyone is preparing for conflicts. To be completely honest, everyone is getting ready for war. The only question is which side someone belongs to. And we would like to avoid wars. We would like to avoid conflicts. B ut I’m afraid no one wants to listen to anyone anymore. Everyone is really and seriously preparing for wars.

Hero of Ukraine Vladyslav Stotskyi - Senior Lieutenant of the National Guard, platoon commander of the “Svoboda” battalion of the 4th “Rubizh” brigade - speaks about life on the frontline today: “You sit in a burrow underground, camouflaged, you can’t go out into the fresh air. Natural needs - in plastic bottles or bags, no hygiene. You sleep in blankets or sleeping bags next to your brothers-in-arms to keep warm. During the day it’s hot, at night it’s cold. Nearby there may be dead occupiers lying around - the smell is constant.” “When we were encircled for almost 70 days, we did everything we could: set up communications, ran wires, put up antennas, searched for food. We picked up things from Russian backpacks when they came close - took canned food, water, cigarettes. We didn’t throw away our weapons, we didn’t surrender.” “Right now, about 90% of enemy manpower losses are caused by drones, the rest - artillery, tanks, infantry. That’s why drones are needed more than anything else. And we don’t have enough UAVs.”
