NB8 takes the lead.
Went to Sweden a month ago (the Swedish Defence College), going to the Baltics next week…there’s something special going on with the Nordic-Baltic 8. My latest in the @thebulwark.com Take a read…
NATO's "Nordic-Baltic 8" countries aren’t spending more because Washington told them to. They’re investing in defense because Russia reminded them why deterrence matters. We should be following their lead.

Swedish midsummer.

Swedish midsummer.
Midsummer celebration have pagan roots and is a serious thing in Sweden. This year we celebrate midsummer in Roslagen. From this area Swedish vikings ventured east and eventually founded Rus and Kievan Rus. Civilisations that preceded what is now Russia and Ukraine.

I did some research and are following US movements to CENTCOM (air and sea) via OSINT sources. Sure looks like a massive strike op is in the making.

If you were to ask the worst case scenario, this would be close to it — ongoing U.S.-Iran talks (regardless of progress) and Israel acting on its own, targeting Iran’s military leadership along with civilian casualties only three days before U.S.-Iran negotiations.

The best bluff I make is not that I will use nukes. It is that there is some way to appease me that will take my nukes off the table, when it all does is re-enforce the value of the bluff.
Can’t believe idiots still fall for it.

So the future are apparently already here.
Ukraine’s Security Service reportedly spent over 18 months preparing Operation “Pavutýna” ("Spiderweb"), which targeted 41 Russian strategic aircraft today.
According to Ihor Lachenkov referring to sources within the SBU, FPV drones were first smuggled into Russia, followed by mobile wooden cabins.

Shadow tanker FALCON has no flag, no insurance, 13 deficiencies including structural ones. Turns off her AIS to hide the fact that she slings LPG from Russia.
