There was no immediate indication that the blast was caused by sabotage or a deliberate attack. State media said it was likely caused by containers of chemicals catching fire.

Carlson’s line that Russia won’t invade Europe because it’s “dying economically” reflects a bizarre MAGA idea of Europe. Though Europe’s economy is 12 times bigger than Russia’s, much of MAGA imagines Europe as an apocalyptic wasteland with no industry and inhabited mostly by migrant criminals.
Really instructive how Witkoff is 100% certain that Putin is not interested in the rest of Ukraine, let alone Europe, which is obviously not what Putin himself is saying.

The suspension of U.S. assistance for Ukraine is a very unfortunate and significant development, but it may not have immediate impact. Ukraine is far less dependent on the U.S. for day to day battlefield needs in 2025, than it was in earlier periods of the war. 1/
