My opinion of South Korea is sinking fast. They have ling refused to sell air defense to Ukraine against N Korean missiles. Now this. If N Korean missiles rain down on Seoul one day, they will have assisted in their own destruction.

All these responses show the success of Russia’s strategy. It was the same in the 80s when Europe asked the US to station Pershing missiles there, then Russia funded the antinuclear movement. The world can’t get to carbon neutral without nuclear. Hope you all like your summers hot!

Not a word of this is the NYT Times, only an article of NATO Sec Gen Mark Rutte praising Trump.

Great news, but why has Japan been sitting on the sidelines??

Which is why Trump is trying and failing to corrupt the elections and Republicans will lose big in November. Then maybe the remaining Republican Senators might be willing to dump Trump and impeach the bastard to cut their losses in 2028.

We do understand. That is why Trump's approval rating is 32%. Even Republicans that only watch Fox news are beginning to see the light. Wait until November 3rd. If the blue (Democrat) wave is big enough, the Senate Republicans may be amenable to impeaching Hegseth / Trump.

Bressent, like all republicans serving Trump, traded MAGA for brains. What an idiot!

Awesome! Obviously, some ultra MAGA will reaffirm their status. But I think a large number of increasingly disaffected on-the-fence MAGA folks will say, "You're right. I'm done with this MAGA cult."

Cook Jr. is a designer on Trump’s Art Commission. OMFG. No diplomatic or international relations experience. Phillips O’Brien is correct: the US is no longer a serious country.

We could hear you, but Fabian’s audio and video stopped about 28 minutes in. Would have loved to hear what he had to say about Ukraine’s strategy.

I can't stand her, but she is useful to break through to MAGA crazies that Ukraine is defending itself against an imperialist & revengist Russia.

Apparently, yes. Note how Trump used emergency declarations for tariffs, to kill green energy, for everything. Note how Biden never declared a climate emergency and let his green emergency infrastructure law stall in bureaucratic process for 2 years until Republican repealed it.

Lavrov is befuddled that the Ukrainians aren't just stealing like pirates and Russians do. It's like the Ukrainian are defending themselves and attacking strategically... This must be very hard for the mysterious russian mind to comprehend.

Russia can go screw itself. The "West" that Russia continuously threatens should work to permanently eliminate the Russian threat by encouraging its breakup and a continue the ban on Russian hydrocarbons until Russia gives up nukes and reforms.

That comes to $62 billion of *revenue* per year, so maybe $30 billion of profit that can be used by the state. That's not much, especially given how wasteful Russia is executing its war.

markelb.bsky.social @markelb.bsky.social · 27/06/2026
Ah! So that’s the 40 day plan to force Russia to negotiate. I was wondering… Low civilian deaths, therefore no nukes, but high civilian pain/unrest.

It’s called “mid terms”

Is it possible that Russia brought in replacements for their tankers destroyed by mid-range strikes in Ukraine, which then promptly got destroyed, replaced again, and so on? If so, Russia offered up critical infrastructure to UAF to destroy, thereby paralyzing all of Russia.

markelb.bsky.social @markelb.bsky.social · 25/06/2026
A big barrage of Ukrainian drones and missiles used to require stockpiling a month of production. Then they become weekly. Now, they occur daily, and this isn't even taking into account the mid range strike ramp up. Maybe soon there will be the AM barrage and the PM barrage! Ruzzia is screwed.

❓❓Jay, the title of that graph is “global Onshore inventories ex China”. (Onshore excludes the floating shadow tanker inventories.). That’s showing the global supplies are running low. It has nothing to do with China’s imports. Am I missing something ❓❓

No, that’s the path to losing political support for Social Security. Much better: lift the cap on the taxable social security income.

You sir, must be a dingdong who has never visited DC. The only river nearby is the Potomac and it is *not* clear. The water as filled in the reflecting pool was clear and treated city water, not river water. Please don't spout nonsense and lies. www.facebook.com/watch/?v=128...

538K views · 2.6K reactions | EXCLUSIVE: The Lincoln Reflecting Pool was refilled with CITY WATER. Not tidal water. Seven million gallons and counting. Four sources confirmed over the past two weeks. They believe the decision to use the clear, clean municipal water serves the America 250 celebrations this summer. It’s too expensive to keep it this way, so it’s likely that it will revert back to tidal water after the celebrations end. The Reflecting Pool was always filled with city water until President Obama’s 2012 repairs switched it to tidal water for environmental reasons.

Regardless of merits, Ukraine needs to stand down. It’s at war. Poland is absolutely vital logistics corridor and supporter. Throw Poland a bone and renamed the unit.

Profoundly stupid. The reflecting pool repair debacle has gained traction in the US because it is a simple visible representation of Trump’s arrogance, corruption, and over-hyped failure. He really is that stupid.

I am shocked and disgusted when I thought Russians couldn’t possibly go any lower. What human could see a wheelchair bound elderly woman and purposely steer a small bomb into her? Think about that for a minute.

Yes, and Vance is the enabler and water boy of terrible policies. He must never be allowed to rehabilitate his image and run for office again. Same for clown-shoes Rubio.

I'm guessing these drones had the larger warheads I've been reading about. Wonder if the FP-2s with 200kg warheads were used. That is equivalent to a 600 pound WW2 bomb. Multiple of these precisely placed is real butt hurt for the ruzzians.

None. Iran is playing Trump to run out the clock on: 1. War Powers and Congress’ patience 2. The west’s petroleum reserves 3. US midterms + time for Iran to reconstitute its missile and drone forces.
