An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.
Moldova 🇲🇩 👍

Trump can’t even pretend to care for 5 seconds.
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?

TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.

Die russischen Luftangriffe nehmen zu, das Gefühl der Unsicherheit wächst. Mütter haben Angst um ihre Kinder. Mehr Familien denken darüber nach, Kyjiw zu verlassen. Sie fragen sich, warum Europa und die USA nicht mehr tun, um ihr Leben gegen den russischen Terror zu schützen.

The situation with Russians killing a toddler with a drone is especially despicable when you realize this wasn’t a stray artillery shell that landed 50 meters off, or a Shahed drone that hit a tall building, but an FPV drone, guided in real time by an operator watching it live

Even if this was good tactics by Rutte (which it really is not) it’s devastating for European leaders to speak like this. The lack of self-respect and confidence that it telegraphs is demoralising domestically and empowers Europe’s enemies. It’s the language of defeat.

Wohnblöcke in Kyjiw und Odesa, jetzt Schulen, Kindergärten und ein Zug in Dnipro. Putin massakriert die Zivilbevölkerung in der Ukraine, während die NATO-Europäer beim NATO-Gipfel in Den Haag endlich versuchen, stärker zu werden. Wann stoppen sie Putin?

Laughing face emojis from a White House account quoting Trump about him “probably” meeting with Zelensky, whose country is being bombed every day by Russia and is in need of US help, which is meant to be its biggest backer. In the past 24 hours, two massive attacks killed 25 people and injured 100s.

Good morning.

With the addition of 4 tankers out of New Jersey, there are now at least 32 tankers observed in the overnight group.

A considerable portion went to Morón Air Base in Spain, with others on to UK, Germany, Italy and 1 to Estonia. A few pressed on to CENTCOM AOR.

Note the swing due east at the edge of the Atlantic.

Wouldn't likely do that if you were going to Finland.

Now at 24 tankers.

It's going to get lost in the noise, but these are repositioning flights: their altitude is way too high for dragging anything across the pond.

Their numbers on a Sunday night, however, are still quite unusual.
