I’ve made a copy of the 60 Minutes INSIDE CECOT segment. If Substack takes it down, I’ll put it up on my website. I know there are cleaner copies out there, but I kinda like the punk rock bootlegged version. The link is in my pinned post if you haven’t seen it yet.

Ukrainian drones struck Russia’s Stavrolen petrochemical plant in Budyonnovsk overnight, setting off a major fire. The facility, owned by Lukoil, produces key polymers used in both civilian and military sectors. Another hit deep inside Russia’s industrial base.

FT reports Russian generals are feeding Putin a false narrative of progress in Ukraine, exaggerating Ukrainian losses and hiding failures. This delusion fuels his refusal to end the war, even as Ukraine encircles Russian forces in Kupyansk and the Kremlin’s economy sinks under the weight of reality.

Ukrainian soldiers say the most effective defense against fiber-optic FPV drones remains the combo of a “Safari” shotgun and the “Ptashka” net launcher. If the drone survives buckshot, it’s caught by a 4x4m net fired up to 30m.
