Unusual alert from U.S. embassy in Moscow warning it has information about the threat of a potential "mass casualty" event at the city's Tsaritsyno park. Last time I remember this kind of specific alert it was before the Crocus City concert hall ISIS-linked attack in 2024.

Wild shit here. Lot to dig through.

Where are they going to get the Chinese sourced rare earth metals to make the F-35 radars? There are 300 radar-less F-35’s and counting, the last I saw. Will this grow to 1,100(+)?

This explains why Texas separatists, with their totally coincidentally identical “Veteran, Christian, Father, MAGA” bios, have suddenly gone awfully quiet today, right alongside their Quebec counterparts, conspiracy whackos, and Polish anti-EU eurosceptics

Moldova is not in NATO. That is the test, not the excuse. Five drones in 15 minutes is a strike on a neutral neighbor. If NATO files it as spillover, the signal is that airspace outside Article 5 is open. The next test will likely be a NATO country

Ukraine’s recent logistics campaign—Magyar’s Unmanned Systems Forces, Azov, and others—has been impressive. Without pressure on fuel transmission equipment, it will only have a short impact. Ukrainian forces have steadily degraded the land corridor to Crimea, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia, hit key bridges and highways, and turned the Azov Sea into a high-risk corridor void of ships. Fuel shipments are not vital for just general logistics or attempted maneuvers. In this war fuel also keep the generators running. Modern EW suites, tactical radars, communications nodes, and drone charging create continuous power demand. These systems cannot be charged once and left idle. Permanent or near-continuous generator runtime multiplies daily fuel consumption. Yet Russian production of the transmission assets themselves remains high. Railway tank cars reached roughly 18,400 units in 2025 (heavily weighted toward oil/petrol cisterns). Road tank trailers and semi-trailers run in ~7,000 annually. The existing fleet is large. Battlefield losses can be repaired or replaced at scale. Operators may be in short supply, the equipment likely isn't. That is the missing layer. Systemic degradation of the Russian fuel system requires pressure on generation (refineries), distribution frontline trucks, major depots, transshipment), and transmission (the mobile rail and road capacity). Ukraine has done real work on generation and on last-mile delivery. They haven't really hit the facilities that make the fuel tanks. Until production of road and rail fuel transmission equipment (mostly tanks butnslso specialty pumps) is also placed under sustained pressure, the system retains its buffer. Friction and temporary shortages are created, but as kong as Russia has sufficient transmission capacity (truck and rail) the system heals and adapts. The deeper, more durable constraint on Russian operational tempo or industrial base won't fully materialize. Industrial war is systemic and coordinated in nature. Otherwise the effects are temporary.

Latest piece. With the withdrawal of the last US aircraft carrier from the Western Pacific, the overall degradation of the US military, and the US now openly attacking its former allies, we need to face a stunning reality: An "age" is ending. We will not see its like again.

Police called after 3 trans men follow Kansas’ new bathroom ban. Three bearded trans men entered a women’s changing room - legally. Staff and public cleared the bathroom and called the police. They were simply obeying the law. Their protest exposes the bans absurdity and the harm it causes.
