Crews bolted a US anti-tank missile to an Israeli radar and a Dutch truck—none of it built for this—into a launcher that hunts Russia's cheap drones. And it does the job without burning a Patriot worth more than the drone it stops. 🔗 euromaidanpress.com/2026/08/05/a...
"Hundreds of civilians were killed or wounded by US airstrikes in Yemen last year, but the Pentagon has yet to publicly acknowledge the casualties or share a full account with Congress." Yet another thing to investigate if we ever get a congress that's so inclined. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Russian occupiers be like: “We liberated this apartment.” “From whom?” “The family who lived here.”
In Ländern, in denen die Regierung nicht nur die Interessen der Oligarchen und Konzerne vertritt, wie es in Deutschland der Fall ist, gibt es eine Übergewinnsteuer, um solche "Kriegsgewinne" gerecht zu verteilen. Mit den "etablierten Volksparteien" in Deutschland wird es so etwas aber nie geben.
Da konnte ja keiner mit rechnen. Wie wäre es endlich mit einer Übergewinnsteuer.🙄

The world must not forget. The world is beginning to forget the hоrrific crіmes Russіa has cоmmitted. And it seems we have to keep reminding people of them. More and more often, we see attempts to justify Russia’s аttacks on Ukraine, make excuses for them, or shift the blаme onto the vіctim. 1/2
Obvious #bot is obvious, @yomanatsu.bsky.social. Dear @safety.bsky.app, how is it that I can spot these fake accounts with a two second glance and you haven't been able to block them even after following 13.4k users? How much more obvious must this #BlackHairedAsianLady #network be to be caught?

So, let me get this straight. russia attacks a German airport with drones, laden with explosives and there is still no termination of diplomatic relations? No expelling of all diplomats down to minimal staffing? There is a russian cultural house in Berlin where pro Ukrainian protesters get harassed.

Zelenskyy: “We understand how many missiles for air defense systems are available worldwide. And they are needed in Ukraine every day – every day, we have to defend ourselves against these Russian strikes. If each of our partner countries helps us now, it will save many lives.”
Heads up. Milei introduced his Thiel-aligned “Super RIGI bill” in an op-ed, “opening with “praise for the Dutch East India Company.” As noted by others, the Dutch East India Company was granted a “commercial monopoly, its own army, currency & legal system, & the power to declare war.” 7/31/26 … 1/
Europe needs to see Ukraine’s dilemma as its own problem, too. If Ukraine can't stop ballistic missiles, then no EU country can stop them without the US. Right, the US doesn't have the munitions to do it either. Time to create a solution.
🇫🇮🇺🇦 Zelensky: We discussed with Alex Stubb how Finland can help us protect ourselves from Russian ballistic attacks. We understand how many missiles there are in the world for air defense. And they are needed every day in Ukraine, we need to defend ourselves from these Russian strikes every day.
Deutschland muss sich endlich wehren. Die hybride Kriegsführung trifft uns täglich – und wir reagieren noch immer zu langsam, zu zögerlich, zu fragmentiert. Hybride Kriegsführung einfach hinzunehmen, kann keine Lösung sein. dgap.org/de/forschung...
Aufklären, Abschrecken, Verteidigen
Die Zeit der Weckrufe ist vorbei. Deutschland muss handeln, um hybride Angriffe wirksamer abzuwehren und auch abzuschrecken.
