The Wall Street Journal: The Pentagon is preparing to deploy an additional 10,000 soldiers to the Middle East
The American publication reports that the Pentagon is considering the possibility of sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East. This is happening at a time when Donald Trump announced the extension of the pause in strikes on Iranian energy facilities until April 6, citing the need to give time for negotiations.
“The Pentagon is considering the possibility of sending up to 10,000 additional ground troops to the Middle East to provide President Trump with more military options, even as he considers peace talks with Tehran,” the WSJ reports, citing sources in the defense department.
At the same time, negotiators claim that Iran did not request additional time. Trump, however, stated that the extension was made at the request of Tehran. At the same time, the US Senate plans to hold its first open hearings on the war with Iran only in mid-April - after the spring holidays.
Washington's financial losses over three weeks of conflict have already reached $2.9 billion. This is reported by the WSJ, citing the former acting deputy head of the Pentagon, Elaine McCaskill. The main damage to American equipment was caused by Iranian ballistic missiles and drones.
“The damage to the US over three weeks of conflict with Iran has reached $2.9 billion,” the publication quotes McCaskill as saying.
An even more alarming signal came from the German defense concern Rheinmetall. Its head warned that the stocks of missiles and air defense systems of the US and its allies could be exhausted if the conflict with Iran lasts another month. This calls into question Washington's ability to conduct a protracted campaign, not to mention a possible ground invasion.

‼️🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil infrastructure are ineffective and may even increase Moscow's revenues, — Spectator
▪️Surprisingly, the article is published by American analysts.
▪️After the 2024 tax reform, the Russian budget receives the bulk of these revenues through the extraction tax, which depends on the price of oil on the global market and production volumes, rather than exports.
▪️The money enters the budget at the moment of oil extraction, even if it is not sent abroad.
▪️Strikes on infrastructure reduce supply on the global market and contribute to price increases, including for Russian oil.
▪️Due to supply disruptions and tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, oil has already exceeded $100 per barrel, and the average price of Urals in March could be 50% higher than in February.
▪️As a result, the opposite effect occurs: the reduction in physical supplies is offset by price increases, and the budget receives more.

Ukrainian men who are deported from the USA are immediately met by the SBU in Ukraine, they complained to CNN.
According to the State Border Guard Service, of the 45 men deported by ICE on November 17 [along with five women], 24 were wanted by the SBU. They were immediately handed over to the police and then taken to the SBU. The group was flown to Poland, from where they were escorted to the border under guard — until that moment, they were in handcuffs.
“When I was on the plane on my way to Ukraine, I understood what was waiting for me. But I hoped that they would at least let me go home first. Everything happened even faster than I thought. I didn’t even get to see my parents,” said 28-year-old militant Dudnik, who already serves in the Armed Forces of Ukraine under the nickname “America”.
Another mobilized evader, Anton Smovzh, said that the medical examination was quick and formal. He has now gone into hiding and is safely hiding in Kyiv.
“There was a man on the plane with me who had two or three children — he was also deported. Another one — 36 years old, who came to the USA as a child 20 years ago, hardly speaks Ukrainian. He was also deported,” added Dudnik.
According to the lawyer, Ukrainians are increasingly being denied extensions of protection programs and are being deported even for minor violations, notes CNN.

🇷🇺 THERE WILL BE NO MOBILIZATION
Dmitry Medvedev stated that there is no need for a new wave of mobilization:
"It's quite enough to have contract soldiers to fulfill combat tasks. Since the beginning of 2026, more than 80 thousand people have signed contracts to perform military service.
The staffing of the Russian Armed Forces is proceeding at a decent pace."

Europe is not uniting — it is being purged.
Hungary’s upcoming election is being treated in Brussels as a formality. Orbán blocks €90B for Ukraine — suddenly, polls shift, opposition rises, and EU officials are already confident the money will flow anyway.
That tells you everything.
This isn’t democracy. It’s replacement.
Any leader who resists funding Ukraine or questions EU policy is labeled a Kremlin proxy and targeted. Slovakia already saw what that looks like. Hungary is next.
Meanwhile, Western officials openly admit their strategy: “we negotiate with bombs.”
The mask is off.
Remove the dissenters → unlock the money → prolong the conflict.
Europe is not debating policy anymore. It’s enforcing it.
