Drone warfare meets trench warfare in May 2024.

The revolution will be catered

Watch Tbilisi now as we witness peaceful protests bravely facing water canons. People protest Russian draft law on foreign agents/influence for over two weeks now. Government brutally beats them up, uses disproportionate force and tools to disperse and silence the protest.

Riot police is brutality dispersing protesters in Tbilisi. Water cannon, pepper and tear gas, beating — on a loop. However, protesters are not going to go home. Plan is simple: retreat when gas used, then return back.

Eyes on Georgia, everybody. The police violence is unbearable and absolutely not in line with an EU candidate country!!!

Not reacting forcefully here will just lead to more provocations elsewhere.

Mearsheimer has become an embarrassment to the American study of international relations. He is simply incorrect on multiple matters of fact and interpretation here.

Rutte may well be the NATO's next Secretary-General. But if nothing else, his successor should come from EC Europe: those countries have earned such representation through their accomplishments, while worries about their hawkishness are much overstated.

The tweet overstates matters, but no doubt that these jets will at least be useful for spare parts and decoys. It is also embarrassing for Russia that the United States was able to get any sort of military hardware from a CSTO ally.

That is a huge crowd out in the open in downtown Detroit. The city has come a long way.

The US Congress finally passed the $95 billion National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act, which includes aid for Ukraine, Israel & Indo-Pacific allies, and invests in the US Defense Industrial Base.

But what is actually in the bill, and where does the money go?
