Russian-made Iran-designed Shahed drone just hit the 1630 Bernardine church and monastery in Lviv. That’s how Russia and Putin defend Christianity and Christian values.

🚨TRUMP: IF THE RUSSIANS ARE HELPING IRAN, THEY’RE NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB. They could give all the information they want, but the people they're sending it to (Iranians) are overwhelmed. Russia would be overwhelmed, too. ENVOY WITKOFF said that he communicated to the Russians not to send targeting information or other assistance to the Iranians. "I strongly said that," he commented. JOURNALIST: Peter asked you a question yesterday. You said it wasn't the right time. But he was asking whether you have indications that Russia is supporting Iran somehow in this. TRUMP: I have no indication of that whatsoever. If they are, they're not doing a very good job because Iran is not doing too well. JOURNALIST: What about the Strait of Hormuz? There's really no traffic going through it right now. TRUMP: That's, you know, the ships' choice. But we have it cleaned out. We've wiped out their navy. Their navy is now at the bottom of the sea. So that's the choice. This is an incursion. We figured oil prices would go up, which they will. They'll also come down. They'll come down very fast. And we will have gotten rid of a major, major cancer on the face of the earth. We will have taken out a cancer. JOURNALIST: Secretary Bessent announced a move to temporarily allow certain Russian oil sales to India. Are you considering any other moves, including the SPR? TRUMP: If there were some, I would do it, just to take a little of the pressure off. The oil pressure. But there's a lot of oil. We've got a lot of oil. Our country has a tremendous amount. There's a lot of oil out there. JOURNALIST: Mr. Witkoff, have you communicated to the Russians not to send targeting information and other assistance to the Iranians? WITKOFF: I strongly said that. JOURNALIST: And do you believe that they are WITKOFF: I hope they're not. JOURNALIST: Do you see any evidence? TRUMP: We don't know, but (Russia) is not doing very well. If they are, it's not helping much. If you take a look at what's happened to Iran in the last week, if they're getting information, it's not helping them much. JOURNALIST: Even if it's not helping the Iranians particularly much, it's still involving themselves in a conflict that they're not... TRUMP: I guess they'd say, we do it against them, wouldn't they? Wouldn't they say that, we do it against them? I don't know. Look, they could give all the information that they want, but the people they're sending it to are overwhelmed. Russia would be overwhelmed, too. Anybody would be overwhelmed. We have the greatest military on earth, and I built it in my first term, and unfortunately, I'm forced to use it now.

Former CIA Sr. Operations Officer James Acuna just posted something that should stop every defense investor cold. Dubai Airport. Not Kabul. Not Kyiv. Dubai. The drone threat isn’t theoretical anymore. It’s arrived at the most surveilled, most “protected” civilian infrastructure on earth. And while institutions were busy commissioning another study, another committee, another delayed procurement cycle, the market has already told you exactly where to position. The the counter-drone and autonomous systems supply chain will be one of the biggest sectors this next decade: $ONDS — The backbone. Iron Drone Raider is a kinetic counter-UAS interceptor. This is precisely the class of system that should be deployed at every major airport globally. $170-180M 2026 guidance. 1.5B+ cash. Backlog up 180% in 60 days. $AMPX — You can’t run persistent drone defense without persistent power. Amprius is the battery supplier solving the endurance problem for defense drones. Higher energy density = longer loiter time = actual threat coverage. $OSS — Every autonomous intercept decision happens at the edge. One Stop Systems is the edge AI compute backbone making split-second autonomous threat identification possible. No edge compute, no autonomous counter-drone. Simple. $KRKNF — The threat isn’t just airborne. Subsea autonomous systems are the next domain being contested. Kraken owns the battery and sonar bottleneck at 6,000 meters. The same neglect that left Dubai Airport exposed is playing out underwater right now. Position accordingly.​ Note. This is not financial advice.
