Ukraine Zelensky has attacked yet another NATO country.

Ukraine, funded by NATO, is engaging in international terrorism against NATO countries, while NATO’s leadership pretends everything is perfectly fine and goes looking for yet another bag of cash for Kiev and Zelensky’s gang.

Turkey has summoned the Ukrainian ambassador over attacks on two vessels in the Black Sea. The cargo ship Lider Bordo Mavi, carrying vegetables from Samsun to the Russian port of Tuapse, was reportedly attacked by three drones.
Five crew members were injured.

Kharg Island is not under attack, but Trump's sense of reality is under attack - assisted by AI.

The US Army launched 96 to 160 PAC-3 MSE interceptors from its Patriot batteries in Jordan tonight against 32 to 40 Iranian ballistic missiles. Three to four rounds at each missile.

At ~$4 million a shot, that is $380-640 million burned in a single wave to keep two bases covered. A fully loaded battery holds 72-96 MSE on the rails. Two batteries plus a local reload is a few hundred rounds in-country, and tonight took a third to half of that.

Without a restock from the Gulf or US mainland, two or three more nights like this empty the Jordan magazines. If those batteries weren't fully loaded going into the night, the ready pile is already gone this morning.

Each PAC-3 MSE takes about two years to build.

François Fillon, former French Prime Minister, reveals for the first time what Putin privately told him right before the war, about why diplomacy with the Europeans - Macron in particular - failed.

Putin, on the advice of Fillon, had tried to engage with Macron, but came away with this verdict: "When Emmanuel Macron comes to see me, he tells me what I must do."

In short, in Putin's telling, Macron didn't want to negotiate, but to dictate.

In other words, there was never a genuine effort at diplomacy - at least as far as Putin (and Fillon) see it.
