American Individualism: A Force for Unity or Division? tlfrd.substack.com/p/american-ind…

A French officer exercised on deck of carrier Charles de Gaulle with his watch recording and uploading the training to web, hereby outing the position for the world to see. Not the first uniformed professional to do this, likely not the last.

Fucking idiots

Trump is, again, lying about shortages of ammunition for the war against Iran due to some imaginary supplies to Ukraine. Here are some facts: The kinds of weapons we are using to strike Iran were NEVER sent to Ukraine: PrSM (entered service in 2024), LUCAS drones (brand new), Tomahawks (Trump talked about sending some, never did), and of course B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, F-22 Raptors, and F-35s -- obviously none were ever transferred to Ukraine. The only weapons one might plausibly refer to would be ATACMS: the entire stock we deigned to send Ukraine was about 50 rounds (we had used 800 in the opening days of the Iraq invasion). The US used over 20 weapons systems to hit over 1,000 targets simultaneously during the opening hours of Operation Epic Fury. An estimated 300 Tomahawks were used and the Pentagon ordered... 57 new ones in the current fiscal year. There have been no deliveries of THAAD interceptors since 2023 and no new orders were placed this year. The military will get 39 in 2027, six years after ordering them. If we are running short on ammunition, it's because the people ordering this war did not plan adequately for contingencies and spent like drunken sailors, not because of our (really nonexistent for the past year) aid to Ukraine. Our big problem is that right now, we are still using extremely expensive systems like Patriots ($3-4 million per missile) and NASAMS/AMRAAM interceptors ($0.8-1.2 million per missile) to combat mass-produced $20,000 Shahed drones. This asymmetric exchange ratio between offense and defense is what kept analysts at night during the Cold War and why eventually defense systems would be scrapped for being too easily overwhelmed by numbers despite being technologically superior. Ukraine has been fighting and innovating precisely to deal with the asymmetric offense capabilities of Russia for years, and they have learned how to do it. But when they offered to help us last year, the Trump administration arrogantly brushed them aside. Now we are squandering premier weapons designed to stop ballistic missiles on cheap drones. And we can't keep doing it no matter how wealthy we are. Missiles take months, sometimes years, to make, while drones can be mass produced in weeks. You lose wars not when the offense peaks --- as the current bombing afficionados at the White House have you believe with their nonstop meming about raining destruction on Iran -- but when your defense capacity is stretched to its limits and cannot cope with things that keep coming at it.

This is the document I unredacted on the House floor. It confirms numerous lies by Trump, including that Trump never expelled Epstein from Mar-A-Lago - despite his repeated claims that he did. It is also proof of the DOJ’s massive cover-up because there was no basis to redact it other than to protect the President. DOJ still hasn’t disclosed 3 million pages of the Epstein Files. If they are trying to hide this, what else are they hiding? We need answers @AGPamBondi, @DAGToddBlanche

NEW: Russian authorities continue efforts to temporarily deport Ukrainian children to Russia for cultural re-education, indoctrination, and forced integration into the Russian sphere of influence. Other Key Takeaways: Russian state atomic energy corporation Rosatom is also complicit in efforts to use summer camp programs for the indoctrination of Ukrainian children. Russian authorities are reportedly planning to resettle roughly 114,000 Russians in occupied Ukraine by 2045. Russia is already quietly manipulating the demographics of occupied Ukraine using financial incentives and work programs to draw Russians to occupied areas. The Zarnitsa 2.0 military-patriotic competition has begun its third season and is expanding its reach in occupied Ukraine. Russian occupation authorities are intensifying efforts to seize, nationalize, and redistribute properties in occupied Ukraine in accordance with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s December 2025 law. Russian occupation courts continue to weaponize dubious treason and espionage charges to levy harsh sentences against Ukrainians for perceived anti-Russian sentiments. Russia is increasingly migrating basic services to the state-controlled MAX messenger to force residents of occupied Ukraine to use the application. The Kremlin used the 12th anniversary of its illegal annexation of Crimea to highlight Russian purported investment in Crimea’s development — highlighting the role that such development projects play in Russia’s wider occupation strategy in Ukraine. Russian officials continue to highlight housing reconstruction efforts in occupied Mariupol.

Qatar says that Trump is working for Russia

Putin sent assassination teams after Zelenskyy, so he reeks of hypocrisy. Whatever he has on Trump puts the United States on Putin’s side against Ukraine, however — an unconscionable evil. ft.com/content/0fabaa…

The US has sent nothing to Ukraine since January 2025. Since then anything Ukraine receives that is American is bought by the EU and Trump brags about how the US is making money from it.

The dead fuck is trolling Trump from his grave

“Beijing formally does not recognize the annexation of Ukrainian territories, but Chinese companies are entering them en masse through Russian intermediary firms.” “The Chinese presence spans seven key sectors in the region: mining, metallurgy, construction, telecommunications, energy, agriculture, and education. According to researchers, over 80% of imports to occupied Luhansk Oblast consist of Chinese goods, and the yuan has become the second base currency there — it is sold in 79 banking locations.” 1/2

“Trump was just playing hardball over Greenland.” The Danes were preparing for war. Wild thread 👇

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

So the EU agrees to pay for Druzhba repairs - and Orbán still blocks common policy. Shocking. Almost as if this was never about oil, but about elections. theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…
