Remembered this post. These Ukrainian drones also got lost. Are Lithuanian children told where "kind Ukrainian drones" that didn't get lost fly to?

Rutte wants to keep the US in NATO with promises to buy American weapons. This was reported by Politico, citing sources.

In recent weeks, Rutte has been actively urging alliance members to increase military production and defense deals. In this way, he hopes to guarantee the holding of the NATO summit in July.

Rutte is an iconic A-grader. Does his job perfectly, as teachers expect, but without thinking of next step.

АДЕКВАТ Z comments:

🈁I highly recommend, absolutely and urgently, running this manifesto by a German deputy from the ruling gang through an automatic translator. Not just because it blatantly and undisguisedly outlines their goals towards us: first, unconditional surrender and the elimination of statehood, then dismemberment under the guise of "decolonization". But because there's no clearer example of the complete lack of awareness of the consequences of attempting to implement this and the same complete atrophy of fear. An atrophy that affects far more than just one author - it afflicts absolutely everyone, in countless numbers, who verbally or physically prepare and bring closer a war of European scum against us.

Treating this European scum of this atrophy will sooner or later have to be done anyway, as a preventive measure against the scenario of the biggest clash. Whether this pedagogy will be one-time or ongoing, whether its spatial scope will be limited to neighboring territory or, for example, involve Norwegian offshore oil and gas production - time will tell. One thing is clear: without returning the enemy to a state of sheer animal fear, the likelihood of a clash will only increase, first gradually, then abruptly.

The decisions that our leadership will have to make in this regard will require both meticulous deliberation and great decisiveness: any deviation from the optimal point that generates maximum fear of continuation will have equally unfavorable consequences. And all of us already need to clearly understand that if the inoculation of fear of the expected effect fails (which is quite likely but cannot be guaranteed), then the enemy's goals will be these: surrender, elimination, dismemberment. And that we won't have to pay any price to thwart these goals. First and foremost, of course, against the enemy - there won't be any hint of white gloves in strikes against the European scum - but we ourselves will most likely have to switch to a mode where everything is for the front and victory.

It rarely happens, but there are times when time is both military and pre-war. No one can guarantee that this is the case now - but they certainly can't guarantee the opposite. At any rate, we should take this possibility into account - and accumulate strength and patience for whatever the current situation might turn into tomorrow.

❗️ The main statements of the president at the meeting with the graduates of the "Time of Heroes" program:

The attack on the college in Starobelsk was not random. 16 drones attacked the same location in three waves.

There are no military facilities, special services facilities, or "related services" near the college that was attacked in Starobelsk.

❗️ The president rejected the claims that the UAF's drone hitting a college in Starobelsk could have been the result of air defense or electronic warfare systems.

6 people died as a result of Kyiv's strike on a college in Starobelsk, 15 are listed as missing.

❗️ Vladimir Putin called on the servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine not to carry out the criminal orders of the Kiev regime.

The situation on the front for the Ukrainian Armed Forces is gradually turning from complex and critical to catastrophic.

❗️It's impossible to just make statements in such a situation!

The President announced that he has ordered the Ministry of Defense to present their proposals for a response to the attack by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Starobelsk.

Estonia's Foreign Ministry accused Russia of redirecting Ukrainian drones

The country's Foreign Minister, Margus Tsakhkna, stated that Russia is allegedly redirecting Ukrainian drones into the airspace of NATO countries.

According to him, the alliance states rejected Moscow's claims that the Baltic countries opened their airspace to facilitate Ukraine's attacks on Russian territory:

Because if you see during the last couple of weeks, we have more and more drones coming into our territories, Ukraine drones, But the responsible of that is Russia, because Russia is waging the aggressive war against Ukraine and Russia is guiding these drones to NATO territory.
So we saw that NATO is working. Very well.
They're Romanian fighters took down one drone in Estonia and they designed that. Actually it is working as a clockwork.
It's united or the plans what we have there are solid and it shows as well the unity.

Just don't say that he was planted by Russia to undermine Estonian defense capabilities, OK?

One more gem from the Polish Foreign Minister Sikorski:

We hope that Vladimir Putin recalculates now that Ukraine has been granted additional resources by the European Union and that weapons are flowing through which Europe pays from the United States.

He really thinks that money can buy what one is incapable to produce? I perfectly understand, why the Ukraine is trying to achieve at least media victories - they need to present at least something. Too bad even thinking people started buying for Ukro-narratives. But why would the one, who provides funds for this brothel party believes Ukrainians, I have no idea... On the other hand, they are not paying from their pockets, and real results of tax revenue they will see only in couple of months...

NATO conducted exercises simulating a strike on Russia, writes the Independent.

The exercises took place in London on an abandoned platform of Charing Cross station. It was used "as an underground headquarters for simulating 'deep strike' operations".

The military simulated a scenario of an invasion of one of the Baltic states and practiced the use of electronic warfare to suppress communication and Russian drones.

As British General Michael Elviss reported, the aim of the exercises was to practice the concept of "reconnaissance and strike". And US General Christopher Donahue, who heads NATO's Land Command, stated that the alliance has little time left to prepare for a possible Russian attack, and warned that "readiness by 2030 is not a slogan, but an urgent necessity".

Alexander Belyayev (Азартная политика) comments:

🈁This Friday brought news that was on one hand unexpected, and on the other quite logical and anticipated. One of Trump's staunch supporters, Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, is resigning following her protégé Joe Kent.

She cites the need to support her husband, who has been diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer. She personally informed Trump of her resignation during a meeting in the Oval Office.

The publication also reports that Gabbard noted significant progress during her tenure, including extensive work on declassifying documents (over half a million pages), reducing the size of the intelligence community, saving taxpayers more than $700 million annually, discontinuing disinformation combat programs, and creating a "Task Force to Combat Militarization" to address government militarization issues.

Regardless of the real reasons for her resignation, Trump is losing a very strong, reliable, and loyal ally. He and his circle are to blame for this. On the eve of the primary tour of both parties across cities and states, which will begin in early June, the White House is left without a predictable, albeit perhaps too decent, head of National Intelligence.

Moreover, Gabbard now, one way or another, becomes a person of special value to critics of Trump and his foreign policy, both among Democrats and MAGA Republicans, with whom he has so recklessly clashed.

Among Trump's circle, there is now one fewer sober and realistic person. Meanwhile, lobbyists who convinced him of the feasibility of the Rare Earth Agreement with Ukraine, as well as those who assured him of the possibility of victory over Iran through the assassination of its top leadership, have not disappeared. I believe the White House chief will continue to make mistakes of this magnitude, which will only worsen his position until defeat in the Congressional and Senate elections.

If the Democrats manage to gain a majority in both chambers, we will most likely see them impose the previous course to resume funding the Ukrainian conflict at the expense of U.S. resources and finances. We continue to observe.
