Russia is now supplying Iran with an upgraded version of the Shahed drone — rebranded as the “Geran” — along with fiber-optic-controlled drones that Iran is already actively deploying. The Wall Street Journal reports that senior U.S. and NATO leadership significantly underestimated the scale and impact of the drone revolution unfolding in Ukraine. The assumption was that future conflicts would be defined by Western advantages in air dominance and precision strike capabilities. That assumption is now being challenged. What’s happening in Ukraine isn’t just a regional adaptation — it’s a shift in how wars are fought. And Moscow is actively exporting that battlefield experience to Tehran. As a result, the Iranian regime is gaining new tools to project force and destabilize the Persian Gulf more effectively than before. If the U.S. were to commit to a ground operation, the technologies and tactics Russia has refined in Ukraine would present a serious, real-world challenge — one that may not be easy or quick to overcome. The level of complacency in dismissing Ukraine’s battlefield lessons is hard to justify.

There has never been a power crisis like the one Kyiv is facing right now. In all of modern history, no city has had its heating infrastructure deliberately attacked while temperatures are –15°C. This is not just war — it’s an unprecedented assault on civilian survival.

In 2022, Putin invaded Ukraine—killing tens of thousands of civilians, stealing Ukrainian grain from occupied territories, and laughing in the faces of weak, worthless Western leaders. The world looked as weak and absurd as possible. In 2026, Trump carried out a lightning operation to neutralize the criminal dictator Maduro, hand him over to justice, and confiscate sanctioned oil that was being shipped to sanctioned Russia. Now Putin is asking the world to “respect order.” Is this a joke? Americans, thank God you have President Trump. Thank God you have an army. Thank Ukraine—for punching Putin in the teeth. Four years ago, he was laughing at all of you.

@spacescan_io Thank you for your reply. I tried to contact xchscan, but without success—the project appears to be abandoned. I’m glad to see that you’re working on a great explorer for the Chia blockchain. I’ll share my thoughts with you via PM.

@cheherst Thank you for the suggestion. Which specific analytics features from xchscan would you like us to consider? We’d be happy to review and prioritize it

We’re deploying a few updates at the moment. You may experience brief availability issues during this window. We’ll share an update as soon as the deployment is complete. Thank you for your patience.

@Breaking911 The real Avengers.

The Security Service of Ukraine released footage of a first-ever underwater drone attack on Russia’s Novorossiysk port, where “Sea Baby” drones reportedly damaged a Kilo-class Black Sea Fleet submarine.

I'm proud of the Security Service of Ukraine and of my people, who remain strong and continue to defend themselves against russia. Ukraine is making a remarkable technological leap, and soon its missiles will be reaching deep into russian territory. Shame on those who call for appeasing the aggressor—the one who unleashed the most brutal war in Europe since World War II.

From Ushakov’s conversation with Witkoff, we learn that Witkoff is not only Trump’s special representative, but also an adviser to Ushakov. He explicitly tells him how Putin should speak to Trump. He recommends getting ahead of Zelensky’s visit with a phone call (the same call after which the Budapest story appeared). “Zelensky is coming to the White House on Friday. I’m going to that meeting because they want me there, but I think that, if possible, we should have your boss talk before that Friday meeting,” Bloomberg quotes Witkoff. Ushakov asked Witkoff whether it would be “useful” for Putin to call Trump. Witkoff said yes, and also advised Putin to congratulate Trump on achieving the Gaza ceasefire deal, to say that Russia supported it, and to emphasize that he respects the U.S. President as a man of peace. ⸻ From the conversation between Ushakov and Dmitriev, we learn that the so-called “Trump plan” is not the Dmitriev–Witkoff plan, but simply a plan drafted in Moscow by Dmitriev and Ushakov: “Dmitriev: No, look. I think we should just make this document as our position, and I’ll informally pass it along, saying everything is informal. And they can present it as their own. I don’t think they’ll take our version entirely, but at least something very close to it. Ushakov: That’s exactly the problem — they might not take it, but say it was coordinated with us. That’s what I’m worried about. Dmitriev: No, no, no. I’ll make it exactly together with you — word for word, whatever you say, I’ll say. Ushakov: They can twist it later, that’s all. There is such a risk. Yes, there is. Well, alright. We’ll see. Dmitriev: Yes, I just think it’s like this… And then you can also talk with Steve about this document. We’ll prepare it carefully.”

Vitkoff was literally advising Kremlin officials on how Putin should handle President Trump. Foreign Policy, The Economist, FT, The Guardian, Politico, The Insider — all say the same thing: This is not diplomacy. This is an American official coaching a hostile dictatorship on influencing a sitting U.S. President. Americans should call this what it is: treason.

The Trump administration’s attempt to force Ukraine into a so-called ‘peace plan’ is disgusting. There is absolutely no scenario in which Ukraine can surrender the territories it currently controls or step back. It’s insane. Once again: we are not talking about the front line. The U.S. is pressuring Ukraine to retreat and shrink its army. Absolutely crazy.

@davidgokhshtein Chia Network

What’s the most underrated project in crypto that nobody’s talking about?

The Collective West is soft on its values. Putin just tore up the US plutonium-destruction deal. If America ignores global threats now, it will wake up unprotected. Act before it’s too late.

@levelsio @WHOOP Awaiting global launch.

🧪 So cool @WHOOP now supports uploading your blood work biomarkers! It also offers a subscription to get your blood work done but only in US for now The cool thing is lets you upload your own lab PDF or in my case I screenshotted my Google sheet and it parsed the data properly! I applied to be in the beta months ago and now got access in the app Will post more screenshots below

Any claims about #Chia selling the prefarm of #XCH are nothing more than noise from greedy wannabe investors who don't care about the actual business and product. Chia is still in its early stages and needs real investment to grow. The basement traders thought the big players would throw in the money, while the basement traders just buy tokens and magically get rich. That’s not how it works. #Chia is going through a path very similar to Amazon’s early days. Just like Amazon was doubted, mocked, and called a failure before becoming a trillion-dollar company, Chia is building real infrastructure first — focusing on product, compliance, and long-term vision.

All claims that #Chia and #XCH are useless projects are obviously comments from ignorant toxic speculators. There’s simply no other example of a USA-originated team working hand in hand with the SEC while building truly revolutionary things.

@bramcohen @illya24495312 This sounds reasonable, and this will be a game-changing time

@illya24495312 We plan to do serious marketing of our upcoming products once they're out (well, not new proof of space, but we will have campaigns for permuto and gaming)

The vibe of both the new proofs of space and gaming update calls has gone from 'discuss our architectural issues' to 'report everything which has gotten done'. We're on the home stretch of normal software development

@bramcohen @Kyle71975073 @blaktron @han51999936 @tatarin_NFT @hoffmang @chia_project @bramcohen, my support is with you. Keep doing what you do. Tech guys often underestimate marketing, but most people live in marketing and overlook engineers. Chia is creating a battle between both. The solution is a middle ground, and I hope you will get it soon.

@Kyle71975073 @blaktron @han51999936 @tatarin_NFT @hoffmang @chia_project We have upcoming revenue from permuto and hope to increase coin demand from people buying it for gaming. There's literally noone working on a comparable product to Chia gaming in all of crypto. That's because building it is real engineering and work.

Trump’s weakness and indecision have consequences. Russian drones now fly into Poland, crash in Bulgaria, and land in Romania. 2025 — the end of the NATO era. The US abandons its allies.
