There is an absolutely superb summary produced by Beltran, Davis, & Taylor, of the Russian war against Ukraine, in the New York Times.

It's a long read, unsurprisingly, as it is a long war, but I cannot recommend it strongly enough for those that wish a deeper understanding of the conflict up to the point of Trump's second term.

It makes me want to raise funds for attritable air platforms to carry Wide Area Motion Imaging payloads for the Ukranians, so they might (EM spectrum permitting) be assured of what lies in the ground ahead of them, and keep moving swiftly (for to remain still or move slowly in battle - or indeed any conflict - is usually a terrible idea).

I am astonished that attempts to demolish the Kerch Strait bridge were forbidden by the US in 2022, and much later, that ban was lifted. Strategically, I'm gobsmacked at the way both sides prioritise politically desirable targets over winning the conflict definitively. Perhaps I am naive.

I am sad that the most excellent authors of the piece did not point out Ukraine's population demographics (worth looking up to understand why they abhor sending under-25yos to fight).

I am sure others reading this account will view it from a different aspect and be surprised by different things. I'd be curious to know what they are (as well as any hashtags I missed) if anyone cares to post here!

Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East (@(@cjpme.org‬ on Bluesky)

We are outraged to learn that Canada has approved a contract for the export of artillery propellant to the Israeli military via the US, despite an explicit commitment from Minister Joly
that she would stop such transfers.

An interesting way to look at the influence of #China (#PRC) on other #countries: the #ChinaIndex.

The highest-"ranking" country in Europe is mine: #Germany.

»The China Index seeks to establish an interactive world map that visualizes the PRC‘s evolving influence in different countries. The Index captures PRC influence across nine Domains: #Academia, Domestic Politics, #Economy, Foreign Policy, #Law Enforcement, #Media, #Military, #Society, and #Technology. Each of these Domains contains 11 Indicators corresponding to an observable phenomenon of PRC influence, and presents comparable data collected by regional partners through collaboration with local experts.«

Die deutsche Rüstungsindustrie steht vor Herausforderungen, um den steigenden Bedarf an Verteidigungsgütern zu decken. Eine europäische Strategie und Investitionen sind notwendig, um langfristig wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben und die Verteidigungsfähigkeiten zu stärken.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was hired for that top job despite his lack of experience in running a huge organization and his carelessness with security. He was hired for his blind devotion to Trump and his ability to "lie directly into the cameras":

The Israeli #military is committing #genocide against #Palestinians at the fastest rate since October 2023. Since the Israeli government violated the #ceasefire nearly a week ago, the Israeli military has killed nearly 700 Palestinians, including at least 400 #women and #children.

"Where were the calls for a special prosecutor? Where were the calls for resignations? Where were the calls for impeachments? If Democrats can’t muster the energy to be outraged about this — the world’s easiest outrage! — how are they possible up to this political moment? Every Dem should be hanging this albatross about the Trump administration and forcing every GOP member of Congress to defend or condemn this clown show of amateurs." #OPSEC #security #intelligence #military #USPol #incompetence https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-thoughts-on-the-most-insane-trump-story-of-all-time

ROFL — Trump lies and actions impact US military industry massively. The latest is Trump blubbering about a kill switch on the F35. Lockheed Martin is now scrambling to keep its purchase contracts and finding customers among the allies.

Lockheed Martin must really hate Trump just right about now. 🤣

As #Trump accelerates his #authoritarianism, #USPol could lose #democracy status, says global watchdog.

It refers to ongoing events in the U.S. as unprecedented, mentioning Trump #pardoning 1,500 #criminals who supported him; #firing independent agency #watchdogs without process; #purging apolitical #police and #military brass; #ignoring #laws; and his unilaterally deleting federal programs, and even a whole organization, created by U.S. Congress

#Boasberg says just return the planes then figure out the answer, rather than simply ignoring the order.

#DOJ then says that isn't what they're arguing & then shifts to their third argument, which is inherent presidential authority to move military forces.

/again, these were not #military flights!
