@carolecadwalla Finally, for now--and not that it matters--I've figured out why "North Hatley Trust" has that name: David and Susan Tunnell (of H&F) have a fairly deep association (donations of $1000 or more) with the (Canadian) Massawippi Valley Health Foundation: #enourteam" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mvhf.ca/#enourteam

@carolecadwalla And I should add that one of the largest holders of IONQ stock *was* Cerberus Capital Management whose cofounder Stephen Feinberg is now 2nd in charge of Department of War right under Hegseth: timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry….

Meanwhile in Ukraine.
It is impossible not to love this country if you truly know it.

Especially remarkable given the UAE’s close relationship with Russia.

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

The chart is based on FEMA’s own data.
It shows the Trump administration approved 23% of disaster requests from Dem-led states (defined as gov + 2 Dem senators) vs. 89% for Rep-led states.
“…one nation, under God…”
Until it comes to helping Americans in a disaster.

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

Imagine an Administration calling combat veteran general officers, "Whores to Wokesters." No, it isn't Iran's Ayatollahs who say that. It is our bible-beaters.

Funny, or typical, how this story came straight from the State Dept. No journalism, copy paste.
To what end?

Hungarian Conservative@hu_conservative
‼️British journalist Catherine Belton visited Budapest on 4 March to participate in an exclusive closed-door event co-organized by the British Embassy and Budapest-based think tank Political Capital. Three weeks later, she broke Hungary’s ‘Russiagate’ in The Washington Post, alleging that FM Szijjártó had leaked confidential EU information to Moscow, escalating an unprecedented intelligence and information war surrounding the upcoming election👇 hungarianconservative.com/articles/curre…

Another 10,000 Ground Troops preparing for Iran, raising total to 17,000. Stage 3 of Escalation Trap gets closer by the day, even as Sec Rubio says ground forces unnecessary. Track troops and logistics, not rhetoric wsj.com/livecoverage/i…

If you're not following @edwardlucas and not reading his books and his articles on Substack or in the media, you absolutely should!
He is someone who has always listened to what the Baltics had to say, and remains one of our best friends and allies.
Thank you 💐

36 years ago, British journalist, security policy expert, and a true friend of 🇱🇹, @edwardlucas, was issued the first Lithuanian visa after the restoration of Independence in 1990. This marked one of the first steps in exercising Lithuania’s sovereignty.

🔥 Un cachalot… à côté d’un humain. Et là tu comprends vraiment l’échelle du monde. Un cachalot... à côté d’un humain. Et là tu comprends vraiment l’échelle du monde.
Le cachalot c'est :
📏 Jusqu’à 24 mètres de long
⚖️ Jusqu’à 80 tonnes
🧠 Le plus gros cerveau du monde animal (jusqu’à 8 kg)
Mais attends…
🤯 Il produit le son le plus puissant de la planète (jusqu’à 236 décibels)
🌊 Il plonge à plus de 2000 mètres dans l’obscurité totale
⏱️ Il peut rester plus d’1 heure sans respirer
🦑 Il chasse des calmars géants dans les abysses
📡 Il “voit” avec le son grâce à un sonar naturel
Et malgré tout ça, on ne comprend encore qu’une partie de sa vie car très difficilement observable.
