The UK lost more than 600 soldiers across Iraq and Afghanistan following the US into two pointless wars and JD Vance gets on TV and says this. I can't imagine this is going to go down well. Also, I have to wonder if he ever thanked the 18 Ukrainian soldiers killed in Iraq?

America cut a key intel link for alerts at 2pm Kyiv. Before that: targeting data for HIMARS. Ukraine also isn’t receiving realtime information for long-range strikes. “Trump wanted a thank you,” says a source. “We will be writing it on graves of dead Ukrainians”

"The U.S. accounts for over half of Ukraine’s foreign supplies of the important 155mm artillery shells, according to one person familiar with the matter. Even with U.S. shells, Ukraine currently is able to fire one for every three Russia does, that person said... Underscoring

The most interesting part comes at the end of this clip. After claiming that Russians try to treat all people humanely, he follows with a “that being said” statement: saying that “foreign mercenary” POWs are not covered by the Geneva Conventions. I think the meaning is clear here

When you send innocent people to a foreign gulag, you are not fighting terror. You are practicing it.

In general, many of the NATO systems provided to Ukraine are too complex and difficult to maintain, but maintenance issues are partially a result of a lack of spare parts (Western companies often lack a sense of urgency to produce them) and that Ukraine adopted the systems

It was never about minerals, it was never about peace, it was never about Zelensky's wardrobe, and it was never about taxpayer money spent on weapons and ammunition. It was always about realigning with Russia, whatever the cost.

Voor dag en dauw vertrokken om hier te kunnen zijn. Precies 110 jaar geleden, op 3 mei 1915, schreef John McCrae op deze plek het gedicht ‘In Flanders Fields’. McCrae schreef het gedicht nadat zijn vriend Alexis Helmer hier aan zijn verwondingen was overleden. #InFlandersFields

Holy shit, Ukraine is right now carrying out an unprecedentedly large operation to destroy multiple Russian strategic bombers at air bases across Russia. Over 40 Russian aircraft have been reportedly targeted within a short period. This is unprecedented.
