I didn't pay much attention to this when it came out, but what the hell? Fedorov's suffering some serious withdrawal symptoms from his Main character syndrome. These are Muskian levels of hallucination... what's next? Teleporting infantry behind enemy lines?

It's not a 'gift' to Putin. It's an advance payment. As to what for, we will see that on November 3rd.

Let's hope that Zelensky will again prove amenable to public pressure. He's done it in the case of Yermak, kicking and screaming though he was, and given enough outcry over Fedorov, we might at last see the end of Syrskiy, too.

We may be entering a feedback loop that inevitably deepens every crisis in an autocratic system. As things get worse, it becomes less palatable to report facts up the chain of command, in turn making a bad situation deteriorate faster, until it unravels completely.

As the scale of the UA mid-range campaign against the critical logistics infrastructure in the south increases, it’s looking less like its goal is to just interdict the Russian supply lines, and more like a battlefield shaping effort. Mark your calendar. September could be interesting this year.

The relatively good thing about the absolutely terrible Iran deal is that Trump presumably signed it with the full intention of not sticking to it. Unfortunately, this won't be as easy as when he used to stiff his creditors. A president of a country can only operate like a grifter for so long.

2014: Crimea was the weakest spot of the weakened Ukraine. 2026: Crimea is quickly becoming an Achilles heel for the Russian war effort. A mass exodus from Crimea will not only cause chaos in the Russian rear, it will damage the morale of frontline troops (already low) and make Putin look weak.

Imagine if Steve Job's name was included with every mention of the iPhone. As in, "Steve Job's iPhone". That's how weird it is when people insist on endlessly saying "Elon Musk's Starlink" or "Elon Musk's SpaceX". Yes, I know who the CEO/owner of these companies is. Can we stop glorifying him?

There probably are some lessons to be learned by democrats around the world about defeating autocrats from Hungary’s Tisza victory over Orbán. But what we have really learned was how to defeat Viktor Orbán in Hungary in 2026. We haven’t suddenly obtained a template for defeating all autocrats.

Trump’s claim of a successful regime change may eventually turn out correct. But it’s a bit like washing your car by drowning it in the river. A moribund theocracy led by a frail octogenarian has been transformed into a junta of hardline generals who prefer martyrdom to defeat.

If you elect a laughing stock as your president, your country will become a laughing stock also. It happens more quickly if you’re a Moldova or a Kyrgyzstan, because nobody owes you respect. But even the world’s dominant superpower eventually succumbs. We’re all witnessing that moment now.

Once Trump chickens out, which he will, and even if he promptly goes for a ceasefire and the war ends, his genocidal threat will not go away. The fact that the president of the most powerful country on Earth has used such language will have consequences.

Refusing to be triggered by Trump's Easter ultimatum just because he appears to have gone nuts (yet again). Yes, it is pushing the boundaries of his own breathtakingly callous and criminal standards. But hasn't this literally been our daily bread since 2016? Keep calm and pass the salsa.

Now that the Iranians have tested their weapon of mass economic destruction and discovered the extent of its power, perhaps they’ll conclude that wasting more resources on a nuke actually isn’t necessary. Perhaps.

There’s nothing to redefine, though. If a few people inside of a regime are replaced, it’s no more a regime change than people getting off the bus are a bus change. It’s still the same bus, just different people. Might pose a challenge to a three year old to grasp this, but surely the NYT gets it.

There's one perspective from which the current conflict with Iran at least seems logical: a battlespace shaping operation by Israel, which seeks to weaken Hezbollah by unbalancing their patrons in Iran. The Americans simply got dragged in because they're corrupt, ignorant and incompetently led.

The US is now fighting a war over something they could have had if they just kept peace. Thousands of people are to die, millions to be impoverished, and at the end of it all, the US and Iran will most likely go back to square one. Trump will call it "a victory like nobody's never seen before".

The whole point of accepting the US naval hegemony was its benign influence on international trade; keeping sea lanes safe for shipping. But Trump’s erased all that with his specious tariffs, his piracy in the Caribbean, his inability to secure the Red Sea, and his irresponsible handling of Iran.
