A Russian wonders why fuel is somehow scarce in occupied Crimea and why fuel prices across Russia have become mysteriously unfair. https://twitter.com/wartranslated/status/2057850533189190083/video/1

RT @michaeldweiss: Ukrainians needed time and a runway to do several things at once and no one ever said the effort to achieve either was going to be pretty:

1. Keep critical U.S. resupplies flowing;
2. Ensure U.S. intelligence sharing continued;
3. Adapt their warfare to coming the erosion or cancelation of (1);
4. Get Europe to inherit the American role generally.

Ukraine's domestic arsenal of drones, counter-drones, and missiles are not only making up for shortages in other respects, but Kyiv's military-technological innovation has made it an indispensable partner or ally to third parties such the GCC countries and the Baltic-Scandinavian-Polish bloc in NATO.

Intel-sharing has become a prized possession of Ratcliffe's CIA in ways historians will marvel at.

And Europe now pays all the bills.

There's still a concerted effort being waged by the Russians for reset or rapprochement or "🕊️, " but mid-terms are coming, Moscow is seen as having far less to offer as Ukraine starts to reclaim territory, and even Trump has negotiated himself out of the leverage he previously had to impose the kind of dismal peace on Ukraine he threatened to do months ago.

Even his anti-European ratfuckery doesn't redound to the benefit of Russia: Orban is gone and U.S. troops possibly removed from Germany are headed to frontline Poland.

Plus, Trump's distracted in Iran and Cuba.

The Syrian Army took part in Turkey's flagship military exercises called "EFES-2026," in what became its first foreign deployment since the fall of Assad's regime in December 2024.

Citing Defense News: "The live-fire phase of EFES-2026 ran through May 21 along the Aegean coast near İzmir, making it one of Turkey’s largest combined and joint exercises to date. Conducted under the Aegean Army Command, the drill spanned two phases — a computer-assisted command post phase in April and the live-fire field phase — drawing over 10,000 personnel from 50 nations to the İzmir Gulf and Doğanbey training ranges."

The drills were also joined by Libyan forces.

Ukraine's mid-range strike campaign is causing havoc to multiple critical Russian supply routes deep behind the front in southern Ukraine this month.

Numerous Russian military transports have been hit on the E105, M14, and H20 highways connecting Rostov to Crimea. https://twitter.com/Osinttechnical/status/2057853673623941601/photo/1

🇺🇸 Crowd: *applause for Kevin Warsh*

Trump: I thought that was for me. I was very unhappy. I looked around and I saw they're all looking at you. I was not happy about that. https://twitter.com/visionergeo/status/2057854092370702649/video/1

Ah yes…. Good military outcome….

My new @PostOpinions column:

To save the midterms, Trump needs victory in Iran.
Americans will endure high gas prices for a good military outcome — but not for a bad deal.

RT @ChrisVanHollen: Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud.

They weren't upset about Trump's slush fund, they were upset YOU found out about it.

Sen. Cramer says it “would have been a good idea” for the Trump admin to announce the $1.8 billion fund AFTER the reconciliation bill passed. Instead it exposed the bill to all kinds of amendments because of its judiciary title

RT @RpsAgainstTrump: Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb slams Trump’s $1.8B defense fund: "this is really just a criminal conspiracy to steal money from the taxpayers."

This morning on a Truth Social post, Trump said that Americans should thank him for the $1.8B taxpayer funded slush fund: “I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward. I could have settled my case…for an absolute fortune.”

The most corrupt president in American history, by far.
