After spending years covering the war you think there is not a lot that can shock you. And then you see this.

What is the world is going on?

Trump needs to fire the top two. I think Hegseth will be gone at some point. If Colby escapes…. the situation will repeat.

Here is WSJ explaining what happened that day.

Fucking madness.

Ok. The old hand plays is first card. Good. Very good.

House Gop Leaders McCaul and Meeks Introduce Bipartisan Resolution Calling for the Return of Abducted Ukrainian Children.

Senator Grassley supports this.

I don’t think they will. This isn’t about revenge. It’s about justice — for every one of those lives. And they deserve nothing less.

What in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!

Netherlands Signs Contract with Ukrainian Companies to manufacture 600,000 Drones. Yes, you are reading that right.

As long as these two work together…………..

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is right on this one. But he's been left isolated—deliberately—so the messaging on Ukraine stays controlled. It's deeply troubling that the GOP old guard just sits idle while the pro-Putin faction inside the White House runs the table.

Ukrainian CIC Syrskyi signals Ukraine is preparing for counter-attacks.

Limited counter-attacks.

Open-source reporting indicates that the United States is continuing a significant military buildup in the Middle East—substantial in scale, and still growing.
June 21, 2025 at 7:47 PM
I think this is a reasonable assessment.

It's over for Iran. With power comes responsibility—and the United States has a long history of mishandling that responsibility at this stage. I'm hoping this time will be different, because the conditions demand it.

Details are yet to trickle in, but looks like G7 did some heavy lifting in the right direction. (they did not lower the Russian oil price cap though)

As The Concis predicted, the shell game has moved forward and in favor of Ukraine. It will get to 1 to 1 ratio. That day is not far from here.

Stalin will be proud. Cannon Fodder.

1 man’s demented dream = 1 million families

Ahhh, what a surprise. What is Putin’s press secretary in the White House going to do now?
June 10, 2025 at 4:58 PM
Just fucking wonderful.

The intelligence briefing for Trump will follow the Fox model because he can’t sit and read.

And he will do deals like art.

I will stop the war in 24 hours to this ain’t our war.

Nice pic choice!

This is some next level competence from Russian foot soldiers ordered to protect critical assets from Ukr drones.

LOL
