#OTD 3️⃣0️⃣ years ago, 6 October 1995, Swiss astronomers Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz announced the discovery of the first exoplanet seen orbiting a Sun-like star (51 Pegasi b, a massive 'hot Jupiter' type). This earned them the Nobel Prize in physics 🧪🔭 #SpaceHistory

President Trump would deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for saving Ukraine and eliminating threat of WW3 by:
1. Arming Ukraine to liberate all its land from the Russian invaders.
2. Bankrupting Russia so it can't fund wars.
@nobelprize.bsky.social please confirm.

The United States Should Make Putin Beg for Negotiations
The path is obvious once we finally dismiss Putin's nuclear blackmail and overcome our irrational fear of Russia's collapse

Remarkable image released today of the UK's Surveillance Ship RFA Proteus facing off with the Russian Navy spy ship Yantar in the Atlantic.

Per the UK MOD: "The UK is playing a leading role in countering the growing Russian threat to offshore infrastructure in European seas."

My main concern over Trump's inauguration speech is he'd take the original Russian language version.

Especially the frequency of successful Ukrainian strikes is impressive. Basically, every night another Russian facility in the oil and gas industry goes up in flames. We have even indications that Russia is running out of fire fighting material. It is a crisis on steroids.

The latest Ukrainian air and sea campaign is absolutely devastating for Putin. While Russians are bleeding to death for tiny villages in the Donbas, Ukraine is targeting economic neurocenters of Russia's economy.

The only reason Russia doesn’t want Ukraine in NATO is its plans to attack Ukraine again. There simply cannot be any other reason!

This administration is in no way called upon to lecture anyone (not even North Korea!) on matters of democracy
Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz suggests Ukraine should lower its conscription age to 18.

"Kyiv faces serious manpower issues, and their conscription age isn’t even 18. If they’re asking the world to go all-in for democracy, they should act accordingly.”

Russians continue doing what 500 years of their barbaric history tells them is normal behavior.

An hour ago, striking a heavily populated area of Zaporizhia with guided bombs, at least 13 dead, 18 wounded, with rescue efforts ongoing.
