America: ‘If you want the nuclear program, you have to recognize Israel’

Not investing in the United States.

Not signing a trade or economic agreement with the U.S.

No, we want none of that.

Instead, we want you, Saudi Arabia, to recognize this foreign nation (Israel) that is completely unrelated to us, has nothing to do with our own national interests, and we’ll give you enrichment.

Do Americans not realize how bizarre this is?

📝 🇺🇦 🇷🇺 Inside Ukraine’s Kill Zone

It’s a new kind of war. In the “kill zone” of Ukraine, surveillance and attack drones swarm the skies, hunting anything that moves.

There’s no more massing of troops and artillery. Instead, soldiers on both sides hide for months at a time in tiny, isolated foxholes to survive.

Soldiers move in small groups to dodge detection, often on foot or motorbike. Even then, the drones hunt them mercilessly. Casualties are staggering.

How far the kill zone extends at any given stretch of the front depends on numerous factors, including the quality of the drone units there and the landscape. The days of heavy mechanised manoeuvres are over; a drone costing a few thousand dollars can disable a tank worth millions. Long trenches open to the skies have become obsolete. Fibre optic cables trailing behind drones settle upon the landscape like spider webs.

Russian forces mainly gain territory by infiltrating Ukraine’s porous defences. Low cloud and heavy fog can act as cover. Ukraine does not have enough soldiers, so its infantry is thinly scattered, leaving wide gaps to sneak through.

A deputy battalion commander in Ukraine’s 59th Assault Brigade, with the callsign Prime, described relentless pursuits: “If a drone spots an infantryman, it won’t let him go.”

NASA’s Psyche spacecraft just used Mars as a cosmic slingshot

On May 15, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft flew just 4,609 km above Mars, using the planet’s gravity to gain about 1,600 km/h — without spending extra fuel.

The maneuver slightly changed Psyche’s orbit and put it on track for its real destination: asteroid 16 Psyche, a metal-rich world in the main asteroid belt. Arrival is planned for 2029.

But the flyby also gave scientists something unexpected: a rare crescent view of Mars. From Psyche’s angle, the Red Planet appeared as a thin glowing arc, with sunlight scattering through dust high in the Martian atmosphere. That glow extended farther than expected, giving researchers a useful test case for future imaging.

The flyby was also a full rehearsal. Psyche switched on its science instruments, tested its cameras, collected calibration data, and likely detected Mars’s bow shock — the region where solar wind crashes into the planet’s magnetic environment.

Why does this mission matter? Asteroid Psyche may be the exposed metallic core of an early failed planet. If that’s true, NASA is about to study something similar to the deep iron core of Earth — a place we can never reach directly.

A short visit to Mars. A big step toward the heart of a lost world.

Makes sense

💢 China gets closer to 'artificial sun’ after successfully testing world’s largest fusion magnet

The 582-ton magnet is key to a reactor that could one day produce clean, nearly unlimited energy

It’s a major step toward China’s goal of generating fusion electricity by ~2030

— 🇮🇷 NEW: Three Iranian rioters, who burnt police officers alive, beat them up, and dismembered them, were executed in Esfahan moments ago

About two hours ago, a small crowd of instigators gathered at the detention facility and tried climbing the walls to prevent their execution. Police dispersed them by firing warning shots.

(Footage above shows the moment of the rioters’ attack against two cops)

Neil Oliver describes world leaders as irrelevant puppets controlled by faceless elites operating behind the scenes.

He argues that maintaining a permanent state of anxiety among the public—through higher taxes and engineered social conflict—is a deliberate tactic to facilitate manipulation, division and control.
