๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธโ€” Donald Trump pardoned Nikola founder Trevor Milton who was convicted in October 2022 of crimes related to defrauding investors with misrepresentations about the success of the electric- and hydrogen-powered truck maker.

The former CEO was sentenced to four years in prison, but has been free pending appeal of his conviction in New York federal court pertaining with securities and wire fraud charges in U.S. District Court Manhattan.

The pardon came two weeks after federal prosecutors urged District Court Judge Edgardo Ramos to order Milton to pay restitution of $680 million to Nikola shareholders, and another $15.2 million to Peter Hicks, a victim of his wire fraud. Because of the pardon, Ramos now cannot order restitution of any kind.

๐Ÿ‡ท๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฒA Reuters leak has exposed Russiaโ€™s covert strategy to hijack Armeniaโ€™s parliamentary vote on June 7 and depose Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. 

Since Armenia bans mail-in voting, the Kremlin is budgeting $50 million to fly up to 100,000 Russian-based Armenians into the country to vote for opposition candidates.

Quotas have already been issued to Russian regional governors to round up voters.

A force of Chin and PDF rebels ambushed a junta supply convoy in the Magway's Minbu area today and scored some nice loot

A seemingly newly produced batch of 28 120MM MLRS rockets were captured alongside mortars and the weaponry of the convoys escorts

As the Junta keeps engaging in counteroffensives they stretch out their supply lines and spread their manpower thin

This has led to an increase in rebel formations raiding supply convoys required to supply the junta offensives

The cost problem is obvious: without integrated APKWS II guided rockets, the Navy is forced to use ~$500k AIM-9X missiles against ~$20k Shahed drones, instead of using ~$20k APKWS II rockets.
