Ukraine's airborne forces drove 10-12 km deep into Russian lines on two axes, recapturing 400 sq km. It's the first net territorial gain since the 2024 Kursk operation.
Russia's goal was a buffer zone in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to launch its spring offensive. "That was their plan," said Maj. Gen. Komarenko.
That plan is now in ruins — and SpaceX's Starlink block in February, which degraded Russian command-and-control, helped accelerate the collapse.
Russia still holds a 3:1 troop advantage. But instead of launching its spring push, it's plugging holes and reacting to a Ukrainian initiative it didn't see coming.

@revengehugh @JackRyanlives @whoknows197563 I dont think wr do either, especially if they start getting damaged running these Escorts duties. Unless we just pull everything from the pacific.

You could have asked me, @rachaelmbade @danturrentine and then you would have the facts.
By law, DHS has absolutely no control over subcontracting. When I learned Safe America was going to use the Strategy Group (my fiancé Ben’s firm) for limited ad production I immediately fire walled.
The Strategy Group put out a statement saying they grossed $227,000 for ad production, which they did at cost.
These smears are disgusting and wrong.

.@rachaelmbade Reporting on leaks about DHS: “This bloodletting at DHS is not over. There is reporting from the @realDailyWire that the now former spokeswoman for DHS Tricia McLaughlin… She was involved in the selection of the DHS $200 million ad contract.”

@comradeflynn @thehoffather I imagine if they did pass a law that ran afoul of the state constitution a state court would quickly issue an injunction (if asked) and the state Supreme Court would eventually get around to a case and an opinion rendering the law invalid.
English
@thehoffather I absolutely love the area, but if state legislators can pass laws explicitly banned in the state constitution and rejected by voters 10+ times, where exactly does their power end? Seems they answer to no one but themselves with zero accountability.

Following Democrats ramming through an income tax, are you considering moving out of Washington state?

@RussiasPivot @SanderRegter How? This ship is in the Northern fleet, not even in the Black sea

@SanderRegter Which is related to why Russia will take Odessa away from Ukraine. 🤔

@LtGenDPPandey Statement to boost an ego, I think. India is free to make business deals with whoever it chooses, regardless of what the US thinks.
English
Is it permission by US or a statement to boost an ego. Russian oil has been flowing as per market variation. And the challenge of American brinkmanship is being faced by the world except for China that is being challenged differently. Isolating India in the context is out of context. @AadiAchint @ajaykraina @AnchorAnandN @ARanganathan72

@JackRyanlives Seems like the Kurds are trying to dampen any dreams the Administration had of trying to use them as a ground force against Iranian regime.
English
@JackRyanlives Answer: No
Regime seems like it isn't in any imminent danger of overthrow... if Trump was hoping for a mass uprising... doesn't seem like it's happening? There seems to not be a planned point where we could say "victory declared" and conclude this now.
English
Has anyone heard a clear and concise message yet from the administration as to why we are at war in Iran? What are our objectives and how do we verify that they've been accomplished? If the regime remains in power what happens in a year or two when they rebuild the stockpiles?

Ukraine has officially received a request from the United States for assistance in shooting down Iranian drones over the Middle East. Ukrainian specialists will be heading to the region.

@HoracioOli14981 @ChrisO_wiki He had an accurate observation in #9 tho, whether he actually realized it or not...

@ChrisO_wiki Not a single beam of light of self-awareness in this steppe monkey's brain.

1/ Russian forces are being driven back in parts of Ukraine, following the Starlink shutdown and degradation of Telegram. This has prompted one Russian warblogger who is fighting in Ukraine to post a blistering denunciation of the leadership in Moscow. ⬇️

@JackRyanlives I guess that is the atheist equivalent of thoughts and prayers.

@ManiacMagic1 @idreesali114 @Mike_Eckel Definitely a capture should have been tried, I bet the crew wouldn't have put up much of a fight given how easily the rest of their navy has been sunk in Iran. They probably would have jumped at the chance to avoid getting sent into that.
English
@idreesali114 @Mike_Eckel Out there all alone ... Probably would have been a good target for capture attempt.
English
U.S. Defense Secretary Hegseth confirms this, adding it was sunk by a U.S. submarine.

@laresomebody @victoriaslog I was wondering the same - if these are cars belonging to occupying officials
English
@victoriaslog An interesting development. I wonder if it is part of a larger campaign or just another means of annoying the aggressors. The cars are owned by the temporary occupiers, I presume?

@Abraxas357 @two_truths @Microinteracti1 Mass fire bombing and nuclear bombs are not precise... they are simply more efficient and scalable.
English
@two_truths @Microinteracti1 Yeah. Can you imagine what I consider blunt force? In African tradition. When africans opress Africans. 70k is a drop in the bucket. Children. With guns eating the hearts of their victims. USA has a sanitized version. More civil.

“You can’t win a war using air power alone.”
“Ehm, Vietnam? Korea? Afghanistan? Learn history you dum dum leftists.”
He posted that, with a photo of a B 52 dropping bombs, as if it were the ultimate checkmate.
And then the internet did what the internet does.
Vietnam ended with helicopters lifting off a rooftop. Korea ended in an armistice, not victory. Afghanistan ended with the Taliban back in Kabul after twenty years. The “learn history” line boomeranged hard. The replies filled up with one uncomfortable reminder: the United States did not win those wars.
The image was meant to project overwhelming force. Instead, it reopened the record. Air power can devastate. It can dominate skies. But it has never been a substitute for political strategy, ground control, or a credible end state.
What was supposed to be a flex became a roast session. Because when you cite history, people tend to read it.
How many times does history have to repeat before strategy adjusts?

Trump also said he is "not happy" with the UK over Diego Garcia, saying a lease deal was struck but "someone came and took it away," forcing the US to spend 3-4 days determining where to land. "We are not dealing with Winston Churchill," Trump said. #US

@revengehugh @Faytuks @akwtenn @Realglobalpol2 Surely they even had to know Israel wouldn't miss an opportunity like that. You'd think someone in Iran would have e suggested doing it o er Zoom or something similar instead.

Iran's Assembly of Experts building in Qom has been struck by airstrikes
The Assembly of Experts is a council of about 90 senior clerics that is tasked with electing Iran's new Supreme Leader.

@seanhannity @GavinNewsom Does this mean you won't be silent about Trumps obvious cognitive decline?
English
.@GavinNewsom let’s call you out by name. You were one of Joe Biden’s biggest propagandists during his campaign. You were silent about his cognitive decline even after his disastrous debate. Remember what you texted me Gavin??? Then You went on national TV and flat out lied for him.
You were also silent as he allowed millions of unvetted illegals into the country including known terrorists, murderers, rapists, child molesters, cartel members, gang members, drug dealers and other violent criminals. You even offered them sanctuary status and benefits in your bankrupt state of California. American families have suffered greatly Gavin. You were an enabler. You owe victims families an apology.
You supported a candidate (Joe Biden) who partnered with a former Klansman Robert Byrd and together they fought to stop the integration of public schools. Are you proud of yourself?
Mr No Show Governor you are repulsive. Save me your phony lectures and Feigned outrage.
