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!

This is climate change, but also just paving over too much surface, and having limited drainage capacity.
Too much drainage capacity, like the Netherlands, can be bad too: NL now suffers droughts, so we need more *natural* storage capacity, not just flush water to the sea ASAP.

A hard rain’s a-gonna fall: why are we ignoring the rising risk of surface water flooding?
New modelling puts 4.6mn English properties at risk from rain that falls faster than the ground can absorb it — a jump of 43 per cent on a year ago. Insurers are beating a retreat, but few homeowners are prepared to accept they are vulnerableHugo Cox (Financial Times)

#Venezuela’s state-owned flag carrier Conviasa Airlines is heavily involved in Iran’s global illicit arms network.
A highly unusual occurrence involved the sanctioned airline Fars Air Qeshm B747, which flew westbound from Tehran, Iran. The flight changed its designation from QFZ9970 to W59970 and landed at Nouakchott, then the Iranian flight continued on to Caracas, Venezuela.
Iran is outsourcing kamikaze drone production to Venezuela. Tehran, Caracas and Moscow have been operating a clandestine air bridge that must be dismantled.
