My question now is, will Trump's announcement for the Oval Office today at 2pm be about land strikes in Venezuela and, if it is, will this be like the order for the 2nd boat attack, where Hegseth will say that he didn't order it, that it was the Fleet Admiral's call?

This is untuckingbelievable! Hegseth is now saying that Admiral Bradley made the "combat decisions" during the attacks. This man is the Secretary of Defense! He doesn't possess the competence to lead a Boy Scout patrol! Blaming a subordinate is a fucking disgrace.

A big attack, but not the worst fascist Russia has carried out. Death toll 2 so far, lots of damage to residential buildings in Kyiv, but power is back now at least here in the west of the capital. Ukraine is holding on, but needs more military and economic aid to be able to defeat fascist Russia.
