Ukraine has sent interceptor drones and a team of experts to help defend US military bases in Jordan, Zelensky said.

The move comes after Washington requested assistance on Thursday, with the Ukrainian team deploying the very next day to help counter Iranian drone threats.

The year is 1980. The US is at conflict with Iran, gas prices have surged, and the US won the gold medal in hockey. Harrison Ford is a movie star.

Throw back to 2022 when @caitoz.bsky.social informed us that you were in a self-reinforcing echo chamber if you thought Ukraine had any chance of stopping Putin from taking Kyiv.

After first saying we would not invade, she later said we made no attempt to do what she said was certain to happen.

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

This is the Leeroy Jenkins school of foreign policy

I’m old enough to remember when we got mad at Isis for this

the 25th amendment, it's right there guys, right there

Trump on the Medal of Honor: "I tried for myself. I've tried numerous times to get one by myself. I keep getting shut down."

Raytheon Executive: I know you’re skeptical about buying American again. But hear me out. The MIM-104 Patriot is the only surface to air missile system with a proven track record of success against the US Air Force.

Danish Defense Minister: Continue.

40% Saudi production.

Specifically: I think Trump was tepid on regime change so they told him it’d be like Venezuela, neglecting to mention how much of the regime they (and the israelis) were going to be taking out, or how unlikely the Iranians were to be amenable to a Venezuela-style arrangement.

Germany is seriously considering the possibility of entering into war with Iran

German sources report that planning is already underway in conjunction with the USA, and Berlin may either participate directly in the bombings or provide military support.

🛢️ Oil markets brace for shock as insurance issues bring shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to a near standstill, potentially pushing up oil prices by 5-15%, - FT.

Disruptions in the strait could also have a “very significant” impact on the prices of gas oil, jet fuel and naphtha.

An Iranian drone struck a Saudi Aramco oil facility in Ras Tanura, Saudi Arabia.

This is how the "NATO expansion provoked Ru" crowd tries to wiggle out of evidence falsifying their theory again! After Finland/Sweden's NATO accession provoked no reaction from Ru, they said it didn't count because Ru's afraid specifically of Ukr in NATO. Now that taking Ukr NATO membership off...

Apparently, Trump now wants to compete with Denmark on welfare and free health care over Greenland. 🤷‍♂️

In olden days an attorney general lying under oath would be a big deal.

Look everyone, for now no one in the Trump administration will be held accountable, no one will be investigated for their corruption or their treason, no one will stop their stealing and their taking of bribes.
The only way this stops is a massive Democratic victory in 2026. That's it.

Europeans should pay more attention to this absolutely crucial aspect of Trump's efforts & plan for it.
Were this to go through (likely meaning conditional phasing out of US sanctions) this would be absolute dynamite for European unity with huge divisions likely to emerge.
