A Ukraine-UK drone just beat every American company at the US Army’s own drone competition.
The Shrike 10-F scored 99.3 out of 100. Second — 87.5.
That means innovation exists outside the big-money bubbles of Silicon Valley and Washington — Axios. 1/

A cornered Putin is more dangerous than a winning one.
His army is at a standstill in Ukraine. His ally Iran is collapsing. His friend Orban is out. The scariest question now is not whether he loses, but what he does next — David Ignatius, Washington Post. 1/

Authoritarians always hide their darkest secrets until the moment their regime collapses.
Now that Orbán is out, the books are finally wide open.
Finding out the sheer scale of the corruption and outright treason over the last 16 years is going to be incredibly satisfying

If there is one crucial lesson to learn from Hungary, it is this:
You cannot defeat an authoritarian populist with a fragmented opposition.
If you want to win, you must swallow your pride and unite behind a single candidate

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 and was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross malpractice
And here we are 27 years later RFK Jr and his fans dredging up the same nonsense
Such a tiresome waste of time

King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden began his visit to Ukraine by honoring our fallen warriors together with me. We are deeply grateful for this gesture of respect.
The memory of each and every one of them is very important to us – the defenders of Ukraine who fought against Russian aggression. They fought not only for our country, but also for the protection of all of Europe, so that Russian madness and killing would not spread further.
Eternal memory to our fallen heroes!

Twelve years ago, on April 17, 2014, in Donbas. Russian special-ops group led by 🇷🇺 FSB-officer Igor Girkin (Strelkov), seized and tortured local 🇺🇦 politician Volodymyr Rybak. A man whose only “crime” was that he was for Ukraine.
His stomach was slit, a backpack filled with stones was put on his back, and he was thrown (still alive) into the river. His dead body was fished out days later.
Together with him they found Yury Popravka, an 18-year-old student who also suffered a martyr’s death. His “crime” was the same.
It was April 2014. There was still no understanding that war had come. But Russians already created a daily Golgotha, to which they and their local collaborators took anyone who was for Ukraine.
Let us remember Volodymyr, Yury, and all the others who endured torment in Donbas and Crimea in March, April and May 2014. Let’s not forget who started the bloodshed.

1/5 🇷🇺 S Ruskem se něco děje! Za posledních pět let jsem neviděla takové množství zoufalých videí, které se šíří tamními sítěmi a v nichž se lidé radí, jak ze země odjet. “Chci zpět Rusko roku 2020,” opakuje se v nich. Problémy se zkrátka kopí rychleji, než by si Kreml přál...

Demis Hassabis says we could solve all disease within a decade. So I asked the man who actually has to deliver it - Max Jaderberg, president of Isomorphic Labs - how it feels to be handed that job. 🧵 (1/4)

No matter what century, what leader and what religion they pretend to have, there is only one cultural trait that is truly russian: this. If you take away all cultures this evil stole and claimed as their own, you get only this. If you take away their lies as history, only thing they can boast is this. They have never achieved anything themselves. They can’t be redeemed. They can’t be negotiated with. We tried every peace with these barbarians. They must be stopped permanently. That’s only way humanity survives.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
Another night has proven that Russia does not deserve any easing of global policy or lifting of sanctions. Russia is betting on war, and the response must be exactly that: we must defend lives with all available means, and we must also apply pressure for the sake of peace with the same full force. I am grateful to those in the world who work with us in this way and who help Ukraine in a timely and comprehensive manner, fully aware that every act of support truly matters for saving lives. I thank Germany, Norway, and Italy, with whom we have already reached new agreements on supporting our air defense. We are working with the Netherlands on additional supplies. In the morning, I received a report from the Commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Nearly 700 Russian drones were launched over the previous day, into the evening, and throughout the night. There were also missiles – 19 ballistic ones, as well as cruise missiles during the night. Most of the ballistic missiles targeted Kyiv. 636 drones and some of the missiles were shot down. Unfortunately, not all. There were hits and damage to ordinary residential buildings. Tragically, there are fatalities in Odesa, Kyiv, and Dnipro. Among those killed is a boy – he was 12 years old. My condolences to the families and loved ones. As of now, 100 people are reported wounded as a result of this single massive Russian attack. There can be no normalization of Russia as it is today. Pressure on Russia must work. And it is important to fulfill every promise of assistance to Ukraine on time. There are many political commitments by partners that have already been announced but not yet implemented – including within the Ramstein format and on a bilateral basis. I have instructed the Commander of the Air Forces to contact those partners who earlier committed to providing missiles for Patriot and other systems. I expect a report on the results.

A special tribunal on Russia's crimes against Ukraine may start operating in the Dutch city of The Hague as early as next year.
This will be the first such court since the Nuremberg Trials.
The defendants will be representatives of Russia's top political and military leadership for the crime of aggression, that is, the very decision to wage war against Ukraine.

Doug Tompkins co-founded The North Face in 1966. He sold his share a few years later for $50,000. The real money came later, from a clothing brand called Esprit that he built with his first wife. He walked away from fashion in his forties and spent the rest of his life buying up wild land in South America and giving it away as national parks.
He died in 2015. His kayak flipped on a freezing Chilean lake while he was paddling with friends, including Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia (the clothing company). Doug spent almost two hours in near-freezing water before he was pulled out. The hypothermia killed him. He was 72.
The 800,000 hectares everyone keeps posting (about 2 million acres) is just the land Doug and his wife personally handed over. Kris took over after he died. She had been the CEO of Patagonia, the same clothing brand Yvon founded, named after the very region the couple was busy protecting. In 2018 Kris handed a million acres of their own land to the government of Chile. It is still the biggest land gift any private group has ever made to a country. Chile thanked them by upgrading nine million more acres of nearby state land to national park status.
Add it all up and you get about 15 million acres now protected across Chile and Argentina. More land than all of Switzerland. Thirteen new national parks have been created, with several more expanded. A 1,700-mile road called the "Route of Parks" connects them, running from the middle of Chile down to the bottom tip of South America. More than 90% of Chile's protected land is now in Patagonia.
Buying the land was just step one. They also brought in biologists to put the missing animals back. Jaguars are back in Argentina's wetlands after 70 years gone. So are giant otters, small native deer, and Andean condors (the huge South American vultures with wingspans up to 10 feet).
The latest piece is being finalized this spring. Chile is about to declare Cape Froward, at the very southern tip of the continent, the country's 47th national park. The land came from another 314,000 acres (about the size of Grand Teton) that Kris's foundation transferred to the Chilean government in late 2025.
Doug got the project off the ground. Kris closed the biggest pieces after he was gone. More than three decades of work, four hundred million dollars of their own money, and roughly 15 million acres now protected as national parkland.

Whenever someome claims Ukrainians for no good reason burned people alive in Odesa…
Libby Fella 🇫🇮@LibbySnowflak
12 years ago russian neo-nazis tried to seize Odesa at gunpoint. As Ukrainians fought back, they fled, set their own building on fire, and russian propaganda spent a decade blaming Ukraine for it. Video shows the moment the pro-russians started the fire themselves.

This is untrue.
Pope Benedict XVI spoke out loudly against Barack Obama’s bombing of Libya in 2011.
Pope Francis implored President Obama not to get involved in the Syrian Civil War in 2013.
He held a worldwide prayer vigil in an attempt to stop it.
Allie Beth Stuckey@conservmillen
Just assume that anything Barack Obama would say on issues of foreign policy, the Pope will say too. You will be less shocked when he continues to say the befuddling things he does about Islam and war.
