NEW: Trump dropping all tariffs on Scottish whiskey in honor of King Charles

TWO KINGS. 👑

“As of today, I no longer consider myself a Catholic” Fox News’ Sean Hannity makes it pretty clear: Trump comes before everything, even over his religion. It’s a cult.

Trump: I ended 8 wars. A ninth is coming. Nobody's ever ended one war. Who's ended one? Nobody

The character of conflict has changed: 1. For the first time since WWI a weapon system other than artillery (offensive support) has resulted in more casualties——drones! 2. For the first time a Navy without a Navy has defeated a Navy ——with drones. 3. Most deep strikes are being executed with drones…dumb hardware equipped with increasingly sophisticated software. So what. 1. We need an equitable mix of mass produced drones coupled with high end sophisticated weapons systems across all domains. 2. We need an industrial base that can scale and sustain the demand and scale of modern warfare. 3. We need to change our tactics, techniques and procedures to include the use of mass drones. Drones now cause more casualties than artillery in Ukraine…so if we are not training our men and women on drones (doctrine, concepts, offence defence) it would be similar to not training our men and women on artillery prior to WWI = unthinkable. Some common misperceptions: - lessons from Ukraine are not applicable to other theatres. The future of warfare will include mass produced uncrewed systems across all domains. - We need to be careful of pretending we will have the option to fight differently…our adversaries will use attrition to be decisive. Given the industrial scale of some of our adversaries to think otherwise would be foolish. - sophisticated vs unsophisticated systems are a binary choice. A combination of the two is key to success. Mass produced systems compliment and increase the longevity and effectiveness of high end capability. - Capability designed in Ukraine has little or no relevance outside of warfighting. Our preparedness for warfighting is critically dependant on our ability to integrate and operate disruptive technologies. From intelligence gathering to strike these systems reduce the need to put people in harms way. - the future of warfare is changing. It has already changed…the future is now. Simplistic but it outlines the significance of what is happening in Ukraine. Some pictures below—-all of which could have been conducted by drones—-at range—-with very little risk to life (from our side).

Alastair Campbell has just accused me of having 'extreme views'... Starting an illegal war based on a pack of lies causing the unnecessary death of so many British soldiers is the extreme position, in my view. I just want my country back - there's nothing 'extreme' about that.
