Is Elbridge Colby, a man with a lot of Ukrainian blood on his hands, asking us to spend more on defense without building too many capabilities? He cannot have US disengagement and European dependence on the US at the same time. Can’t have it both ways

The discourse on the war in Ukraine is often ruined by bad-faith straw men and false binaries. While nobody is seriously claiming the war is over and Russia has already lost, it remains completely fair to point out that Russia is actively losing the unprovoked war it started

Why is Ukraine winning the war? The war is far from over, but on the current trajectory, Ukraine will end up far closer to achieving both its initial and maximalist goals than Russia

I highly value Fedorov and want him in a key role, but some online takes are a bit too dramatic. Pressuring Zelensky about his case is wise. Ukrainians will rightfully be angry if he is replaced by someone less competent, but Ukraine will win this war with or without him as MoD

Pro-Russia and pro-China French far-left populist Mélenchon says he wouldn’t board a plane with a 70-year-old pilot, implying they are too old. Yet, he is running for president at 74 years old

Finally a sound take by Ted Cruz

If told in 2022 that the war would look like this 4.5 years later, you would have seen it as a Ukrainian victory. Saying Russia is losing is not saying it has already lost. No one claims the war is won, but it is entirely fair to state Russia is on the losing side of its own unprovoked invasion

The finest way to honor Lindsey Graham's memory is for Washington to pass the sanctions on Russia he spent so much time fighting for

Crimea is shifting from Russia's prized asset to its biggest liability. Ukraine's drones hit 116 Russian vessels in just 10 days

The world’s richest man is also a massive racist who loves to push disinformation online

A traitor to Poland

While Ukraine securing licenses to produce PAC and Aster interceptors is great for the long term, domestic production will take years. Ukraine cannot wait. Western allies must ship more air defense interceptors immediately to protect lives today

I wonder if a young idiot like that realizes the consequences of what he is doing. He is going to be a state propagandist for Russia, an enemy of his country, just to get views

Far-right wins in major European powers will devastate their defense export pipelines. Security-sensitive frontline nations like Finland will refuse to buy weapons from pro-Russian regimes. Following Denmark’s snub of US Patriot batteries over Trump, regional buyers will abandon populists

Oligarch Konstantin Malofeev is a highly dangerous, overlooked architect of Russian subversion. He bankrolled the 2014 invasion and is married to Maria Lvova-Belova, the ICC wanted official abducting Ukrainian children. He funds global propaganda to dismantle Western democracy

Some Western militaries stubbornly ignore vital Ukraine war lessons by failing to equip armored fleets with protective nets and cages. FPV drones make unshielded armor a death trap. Electronic jammers fail against fiber-optic drones. Physical shielding is a non-negotiable survival reality

Lindsey Graham was right in 2016, but he sadly ended up capitulating to Trump and being part of what he warned Americans about

Lindsey Graham passed away. His legacy is marked by support for Ukraine alongside an inability to stand up to Trump during his 2nd term. He worked hard to help Ukraine but also enabled Trump, failed to sanction Russia, and demanded Zelensky’s resignation after the Oval Office ambush

Trump’s ceasefire is holding well

Given that Poland’s military aid to Ukraine over the past 2.5 years totals under €400 million, and its overall wartime military support remains under €4 billion, Warsaw has the financial capacity to pay for it. Poland could easily afford to increase its aid packages

For some reason, most Europeans outside of Ukraine have a much more accurate grasp of the scale of the war and civilian casualties in Gaza than they do regarding Ukraine

Swiss Roger Köppel has decided to make it his job to push Russian propaganda unchallenged to German-speaking audiences. He should be sanctioned by the EU for it. Russia claims to be at war with us, and he is a clear traitor

Says the coked-up fascist and convicted criminal who betrays his country by working for Russia

Mélenchon’s foreign policy: Self-determination for everyone, except Ukraine and Taiwan

It would be amazing if Nigel Farage lost to Count Binface. People need to unite to kick Farage out

Moscow is losing this unprovoked war and its demands are inherently illegitimate. Instead of offering concessions, the West must demand total Russian withdrawal, full legal accountability, and complete reparations

The pathetic thing is that Hasan Piker admits to knowing nothing about this topic but still goes ahead and comments on it. The result is of course complete nonsense

Looks like another rough night for Russian tankers. Waiting for Ukraine to publish videos

Capping Ukraine's military is a non-starter that would leave the nation permanently vulnerable. Russia's insincere diplomacy proves Kyiv can only rely on its own forces for defense. Preserving an unconstrained military is the absolute baseline for survival and existential deterrence

Another night of successful Ukrainian strikes on Russian vessels. 48 in 120 hours
