TIL that U.S. General George S. Patton competed in modern pentathlon in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics when he was a 26-year-old officer. He fainted from exertion after running 2.5 miles; used a .38-caliber weapon instead of .22; and placed fifth, with Swedish athletes winning bronze, gold, and silver.

U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, June 8, after the vessel violated the ongoing blockade against Iran by attempting to sail to an Iranian port.
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) disabled Palau-flagged M/T Marivex as it transited international waters in the Gulf of Oman toward Iran.
An F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired a precision munition into the ship's engineering and steering spaces after the crew failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces.
Marivex is no longer sailing to Iran.

๐บ๐ธโ ๏ธ Has a new American fighter jet taken flightโ
The Western internet reports that an unknown flying device with a forward horizontal stabilizer was spotted over Area 51.
This has led to speculations that it could be the new American F-47 fighter jet, which is expected to replace the 5th generation and whose renderings have been shown several times. Moreover, the post is accompanied by the caption: "A flying device that the public has not yet seen."
This video was shot with a thermal imaging camera and published by the Project Fear channel. Its authenticity has been confirmed by some other sources, but its reliability remains questionable.

๐ข ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฎ๐ฑ Thomas Massie delivers the truth about the intentional Israeli attack against the USS Liberty on the House Floor on the 59th year anniversary of the attack and calls for a real investigation.
He says there was a 17-hour delay in receiving help after they were under attack by Israel.
โIt was intentional murder by the state of Israel.โ
โThe Israelis were intent to leave no survivors.โ
โThis was an effort to kill everyone on board.โ

Ukraine launched a drone boat designed to level half a Romanian city by hitting an oil depot next to an ammonium nitrate depot, to try to drag NATO into the war, but the boat got hung up on pollution buoys โ but not before the Starlink antenna on it was photographed. Anybody know if using the service to level half a city and try to start WWIII is a Starlink Terms of Service violation?

"What began with widespread opinions that Israel would emerge as the big winner of all this chaos has slowly transitioned to Israel looking increasingly vulnerable and impotent. Iran has cleansed itself of Mossad networks and Israel has already blown its shot at big โsurpriseโ intel ops that take years to plan and organize, with nothing left in the tank that can move the needle. Iran now gets politically stronger and more unified each day having weathered the dangerous opening โshockโ phase of US-Israelโs operations to take down the country."

This demonstrates, again, how much better IRI intelligence is vs what US/Israel expected, expectations based on how easily Iran had been penetrated up to 2026. Havenโt seen much written on the surprising success of IRI intelligence, just a lot of hysterical mass arrests in GCC.

China Achieves Proof of Thorium Reactor Fuelization, Bringing Worldโs First Commercial Deployment Into View
China has succeeded in verifying thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR, Thorium Molten Salt Reactor) technology, widely regarded as a game changer for next-generation nuclear power generation, thereby upending the landscape of energy security. The reactor testedโฆ
China successfully converted thorium to nuclear fuel in the TMSR-LF1 reactor in Gansu Province, becoming the first country to operate thorium fuel. Thorium reactors offer advantages: inland operation without cooling water, less waste, and passive safety preventing meltdowns.
China's construction costs are ~$2,500/kW, roughly a quarter of the global average, due to state financing and standardization. Plans include a 100-megawatt pilot plant by 2035 and commercial operations around 2040. Inner Mongolia's thorium reserves could power electricity for 60,000 years at current levels. The technology is also considered for data centers and Arctic nuclear icebreakers.
