Liubava, 12 anni. Maria, 15 anni. Vira, 17 anni. Sono solo alcune delle vittime del bombardamento russo che ha distrutto un edificio residenziale a Kyiv, il 14 maggio. Il padiglione russo alla Biennale di Venezia, invece, è ancora intatto.

@dorinileonardo Mi sembra stravolto 😉

Pentagon Staff Left in the Dark as Hegseth Pulls the Plug on Poland Deployment Pete Hegseth cancelled 4,000 troops to Poland last week. Nobody at the Pentagon knew it was coming. No explanation has been offered. At this point, the absence of an explanation is itself the explanation. The most expensive rounding error in history The cost of rotating a few thousand soldiers through Poland for nine months is, in Pentagon terms, statistical noise. It disappears into the budget without a trace. European nations buy American weapons because they trust America as a partner. That is the entire business model. Not specs. Not price. Partnership. The moment that trust breaks, the contracts go elsewhere. Not some of them. All of them. Forever. Europe just opened its wallet. America just lost the contract. For years, the United States pressured European allies to spend more on defense. For years, European governments resisted, citing budget constraints and the comfortable assumption that America would always be there. Washington complained. Brussels shrugged. The two percent target became a running joke. Then Trump told Europe he could not be trusted. And Europe believed him. The result is the largest sustained defense spending surge on the continent since the Cold War. This is not an opinion. It is the official assessment of NATO headquarters itself. Member states are no longer nudging toward two percent. They are legislating emergency procurement packages, fast-tracking capability programs, and signing multi-decade platform commitments at a pace that would have been politically unthinkable three years ago. Several trillion dollars in contracts over the next fifty years. Fighter jets, air defense systems, armored platforms, missile defense networks, logistics infrastructure, sustainment agreements that generate revenue long after the hardware is delivered. The European defense market is not opening. It has already opened. The money is real, the budgets are passed, and the contracts are being written right now. The question, the only question that matters to Lockheed, Raytheon, and every other prime contractor, is who fills them. And the answer, increasingly, is not American companies. The buyers in Warsaw, Helsinki, Stockholm, and Berlin are now deliberately designing their procurement strategies around one central requirement: do not depend on Washington. European defense industrial initiatives that were fringe proposals two years ago are now funded national priorities. The Franco-German platform investments are not speculative anymore. They are in production. America spent eighty years building the access that makes this market captive. Trump has spent just over a year handing it to Europe's own industry, one snub at a time. Where are the thousand CEOs? Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics. These are not timid companies. They have spent decades shaping American foreign policy more effectively than any diplomatic corps ever managed. Their lobbyists have direct lines to every committee chairman on Capitol Hill. And right now they are watching in complete silence as the president saws off the branch the entire industry sits on. The short-term calculus of that silence is understandable. Iran has accelerated domestic procurement. Quarterly numbers look fine. Nobody wants to be the CEO who publicly challenges a president with a well-documented appetite for revenge. But an F-35 sale is not a quarterly transaction. It is a fifty-year revenue commitment. A European nation that anchors its next-generation defense around a domestic platform in the next five years is not a customer you win back with a better offer. Ever. These decisions, once made, are permanent on any timescale that matters to anyone currently alive. Every strategy team in every glass tower in Arlington knows exactly what is happening to their order books for the 2040s and 2050s. And they are saying nothing. History will find this astonishing. An administration is converting the world's most powerful arms exporter into a supplier its own allies no longer trust, and the thousand most powerful industrial voices in America have chosen silence. The only president who benefits from this is in Moscow No sitting American president has done this kind of structural damage to the US defense industry's global position since John F. Kennedy. Trump is dismantling the same architecture. Not out of principle. Not out of strategy. Apparently out of irritation at European press conferences. The difference is that Kennedy was trying to reduce American military overreach. What is happening now serves no coherent American interest whatsoever. Every troop withdrawal, every cancelled rotation, every deployment weaponized as political punishment lands in Moscow as a strategic gift requiring no effort and no cost on Russia's part. Putin has spent twenty years trying to fracture NATO and reduce American influence on his western border. He has failed repeatedly. He is now watching an American president do the job for him, apparently for free. A senior NATO source offered reassurance that Canada and Germany are increasing their eastern flank presence. It was the kind of statement you make when the alternative is saying what you actually think.

A child who only knew war. A life taken before it could begin. This is Daria Sapun, 31, and her daughter Anna — just 2 years old. Anna Sapun was killed in Odessa during a massive russian attack on the night of April 6, 2026. Her mother, Daria, was killed alongside her. They never made it to the shelter. Anna was a long-awaited child, born on June 23, 2023. She had just started kindergarten. She loved drawing and puzzles. “Annie was our sunshine — bright, kind, smiling, and very active. She wanted to know everything,” her father Pavel said. A life stolen by russian terror. Remember them.

Who Still Listening to the Beatles in 2026??

No matter how many years pass, this song still hits the same 🎶❤️

Da fermarsi qualche minuto ed abbandonarsi ad ascoltare. Che atmosfera, che magia!

Only real pattern hunters can crack this one your first answer is wrong

@Friyaneb m^2-36=13 m^2=49 m=7 It takes longer to write the solution than to solve it

If you can solve this in under 10 seconds, You're better at algebra thsn most What's m?

@StefanoPutinati Sa di citazione cinematografica. Per quanto mi riguarda sono miei e, a tratti, condivisi

Di chi sono i nostri giorni?

@SalvOasi Alberto Fortis

Se ti ricordi di lui probabilmente qualche annetto ce l’hai…

@StefanoPutinati Ricordo che, non nego con imbarazzo perché sono scoppiato a ridere, da un cliente in un grosso impianto petrolchimico in Sicilia mi hanno presentato la signora Ficarotta 😱. Pensa se chiamassero il suo nome tra una fila di persone in attesa: gli sguardi 🤦‍♂️

Cognomi che non ho mai dimenticato: Carunchio

@marilovesgr33n Francamente non so come definirlo, lo chiamerò "grigio bello" 😉

@CPsrl Grigio perla ❌

Come si chiama il COLORE che sta tra cielo, grigio e nuvole?

@cividini1944 @SalvOasi Buona giornata anche a te 👋

@CPsrl @SalvOasi x Umberto@Capitol Partners. Mio errore, è la 124. Ho posseduto pure, anni dopo, della FIAT 128. Un poco meno " voluminosa " ma altrettanto valida. GRAZIE e buona giornata.

Sono curioso di leggere i commenti degli appassionati…

Very rarely does a cover give the original artist a run for their money. This young lady right here is doing just that. Amazing voice.
