Wargames show Russia could overrun the Baltics in just 60 hours despite NATO's bolstered presence. Early breakthroughs remain likely, and the Suwalki Gap is still one of Europe's most fragile flashpoints. theglobalobserverx.wordpress.com/2025/05/21/bal…

@RealBookerScott You realize the USA has these bases to project power across the globe right? Foreign countries don’t need American bases. The USA does need those bases tho… See how well your missile defence system works when you remove the radars from Canadas arctic territory.

There are 100,000 American boots on the ground in Europe today as their Army protecting Europe. TO HELL WITH NATO, Europe and Canada. Bring American troops home.

@EricLDaugh Yup time to back up all those foreign military bases. 👍

🚨 HOLY CRAP. President Trump just said America no longer has to be there for NATO "We WOULD have always been there for them, but now, based on their actions? I guess we don't have to be, do we?!" "I think a tremendous mistake was when NATO just wasn't there. They just weren't there. It's going to make a lot of money for the United States, because we spent hundreds of billions of dollars a year on NATO, hundreds, protecting them." Trump NEVER FORGETS.

@nexta_tv Depends on the range of the drones how effective this will be.

This is what the wars of the future will look like: China unveils “steel swarm” system China has demonstrated the “Atlas” strike complex — a system where dozens of drones operate as a single mechanism. Reconnaissance identifies targets, then dozens of attack drones are launched. In flight, they exchange data, adjust trajectories, avoid collisions, autonomously lock onto targets, and strike — all within seconds. A single operator is enough to control 96 drones: they set the task, and the drones handle everything else. The “steel swarm” overwhelms air defenses, meaning some drones are almost guaranteed to reach their targets.

Since the start of the war in the Middle East, at least 39 energy facilities across 9 countries have been damaged. These include oil refineries, gas fields, and critical infrastructure, The New York Times reports.

@rusembassynl And now the USSR doesn’t even exist. 🙌

🚀 18 March is one of the most significant days in the history of human space exploration. It was on this day in 1965 that the Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov made the first spacewalk in history. The USSR (Russia) did it first! #NumberOne

@visegrad24 Don’t support terrorists because they will never support you. Hard lesson for Qatar!

BREAKING: Iran has struck the world’s largest natural gas export facility, the Ras Laffan refinery in Qatar. Qatar helped the Islamic regime in Iran for years, but is still getting hit. There’s no honor among thieves and Islamists

@PM_ViktorOrban @ZelenskyyUa April 12th and this clown is sent packing!

President @ZelenskyyUa, Stop threatening and blackmailing us! With Hungarians, this will not work.

@Prominent_Bryan Was it followed when the Iranian regime murdered thousands of protesters?

Do these people do not understand that the full legal process of international law was not followed?

@ZacksJerryRig You support the Iranian regime? 🤦🏻

To the US Military: It is illegal to follow illegal orders. "I was just following orders" does not hold up in court. Just ask the Nazis at Nuremberg.

@PM_ViktorOrban @ZelenskyyUa Fuck your pipeline! 🖕

High alert‼️ On-site inspection at the Százhalombatta oil refinery. Hungary will not give in to President @ZelenskyyUa’s blackmail and will not back down from its demand that oil deliveries through the Friendship oil pipeline be resumed.

@steve_hanke Consequences of doing business with a murderous dictator.
