The EU doesn’t need Putin‘s Serbia. Let it stay out.
Es war gestern sehr aufschlussreich, dass sich so viele russische offizielle Medien – einschließlich des Kreml-Pressesprechers Peskow – darum bemühten, dem Gerücht um die Flucht Surkows zu widersprechen. Dabei gilt er mittlerweile als eine Art persona non grata.

It’s interesting to me that he doesn’t trust his rockets.
After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative. The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.
This is learned today:
Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.

The president is handing out oversized clown shoes to his cabinet — and watching to see who refuses to wear them.
It's Solzhenitsyn's Stalin story come to life: the first person to stop applauding ended up in the gulag. The lesson then, as now — never be the first to stop clapping.
Imagine if common sense had carried more weight than the greed of billionaires.
It is interesting to me* how this total military, geopolitical, & economic omnishambles is not being covered in the press with remotely the same fierce EPIC DISASTROUS FAILURE urgency that Joe Biden’s not 100% surgically clean withdrawal from 🇦🇫 was covered 🤔
[*It is not remotely interesting to me]
Die SPD sollte sich einen USP suchen. Irgendwas mit sozialer Politik für Arbeitnehmer.
Violence is fun. That’s the new quality really with Trump 2.0.
Die CDU fährt in BW im Nachgang der Wahl die Trump-Strategie.
Man verliert nicht, man wird betrogen. Schuld sind die Anderen und überhaupt haben sich alle gegen einen verschworen, während man heldenhaft gegen ein Links-Linkes Meinungskartell kämpft.
Die reale Realität spielt keine Rolle mehr.

Sie verbreiten bis heute Lügen über das #GEG.

Können wir das Amt aufteilen?! 🤡
I look at this crowd and wonder how they could possibly be dumb enough to either believe or clap for this.
Seriously, anyone who *still* hasn't figure out that Donald Trump lies constantly about literally everything is just not smart enough to have a serious conversation with about anything.
Wow. Did anything even vaguely resembling this happen? Or did he invent this fantasy entirely by himself?
Donald Trump's reckless war with Iran put Americans in danger and spiked our gas prices.
Trump's global energy shock and weakening of sanctions also hands a windfall to Putin's war machine.
Bielefeld nicht.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

Idiots shouldn’t be presidents.
The Taliban have come out in support of Iran.
How does that change the ground invasion plans of the U.S. Military
.................. since Trump gave the Taliban the power to topple the Afghan government?
Whose side is playing whom here.................
„Mindestens 17 beschädigte US-Standorte und andere Einrichtungen, von denen mehrere mehr als einmal getroffen wurden. Die Intensität der Angriffe hat gezeigt, dass Iran besser auf einen Krieg vorbereitet war, als die Trump-Administration erwartet hatte.“ 🤷♂️🤦♂️

Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
