The one silver lining in all of this: Russians watching and realizing that when your regime change war goes sideways, you can actually stop and back out.

@AntonioCue3 @Osinttechnical @Mk36destructor Maybe. But I suspect the movie Top Gun did more for recruiting than the past 20 years of airshows. There are smarter ways to recruit.

@pbul_r @Osinttechnical @Mk36destructor You need people signing up to join the military, and shows like these are pretty much the way to generate interest, hype and an influx of new recruits. And probably cheaper and more effective than many other methods.

No country in the current economic and military situation that Cuba is in would ever preemptively strike a super power like the US. This is just propaganda to build a case for an invasion of Cuba.

🚨 Axios just published classified intelligence that the Trump administration says shows Cuba is planning drone attacks on Guantanamo Bay, US warships, and Key West. I'm calling FALSE FLAG. The source is one anonymous senior US official. Reuters could not independently verify the report. Axios’s own framing — in the article itself — states: “The intelligence could become a pretext for U.S. military action.” This is the second time this year a US administration has had classified intelligence leaked about a Caribbean adversary “planning attacks” on US targets during a period of US military buildup in the region.

NATO war game ended with Russia cutting off the Baltics in 24 hours — because Germany froze politically while the US stayed out.

Ohio has collected $1.2 billion more than expected this fiscal year, according to a preliminary report from the Office of Budget and Management. And lawmakers, lobbyists, and advocacy groups already have plenty of ideas for what to do with it. cleveland.com/news/2026/05/o…

No rest for Moscow as a road has not only caught fire but is no sinking due to shoddy construction.
This apparently occurred without Ukraine's help.

@MarioDB The US also has drones. Does that give “name your Caribbean country” cause to go to war with us?
You’re going to have to work harder than that to manufacture your casus belli.

We’ve seen the threat drones pose in the Middle East. Now they are 90 miles from our shores and near critical infrastructure. It’s clear that the Cuban regime is a national security threat.

Cuba has acquired more than 300 military drones and recently began discussing plans to use them to attack the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, military vessels & possibly Key West, 90 miles north of Havana Exclusive on what the Trump Admin is thinking 👇 axios.com/2026/05/17/us-…

From our country’s beginning, for as long as America has embodied freedom and exceptionalism, the soul of our nation has been rooted in the Christian faith.
Today we gather, as our forefathers did on this day centuries ago, to rededicate our nation to God.

That is the cowards lesson. The real lesson is that if you take a stand for something you know to be right and just you should keep fighting, not retreat. You need to go down brawling for what’s right. You lose your senate seat either way, but you keep your integrity.
Chris Cillizza@ChrisCillizza
And that's it. Bill Cassidy, the incumbent Senator, finishes third and out of the runoff. The lesson: Do not cross Trump.

Today’s attack on the Barakah NPP perimeter in the UAE, in which a UAV struck an electrical generator, is utterly unacceptable. Ukraine strongly condemns any attacks endangering nuclear facilities.
Ukraine has been experiencing Russia’s deliberate strikes on power infrastructure including NPPs for more than 4 years, which continue putting civilians, the region, and the whole world at grave risk.
The protection of nuclear facilities everywhere is critical and must be guaranteed unconditionally.

@EricTrump @jrpsaki @MSNOWNews Easy prediction: Eric will drop his lawsuit before discovery occurs and they have a chance to depose him.
English
.@jrpsaki is a terrible reporter and @MSNOWNews should hold her accountable.
A 30-second review of basic financial disclosures—literally her most fundamental duty as a journalist—would have shown I have zero leadership or decision-making in the company she claimed I was “on the board of” — the basis for which she claimed I was in China.
As I previously stated, I have NO knowledge whatsoever of the transaction she referenced, the people involved or a single detail - as I’m not, in anyway, involved.
This isn’t journalism—it’s reckless and dishonest reporting that damages people, reputation and lives.
Formal notice is going out Monday with a lawsuit to follow…
Joe Concha@JoeConchaTV
Eric Trump has an excellent case here. Jen Psaki threw out some wild accusations on national television with zero evidence or proof to back them up. This is Defamation 101. Let's see how she addresses this tonight (will likely somehow play the victim is the guess).

@stengel @michcooley I’m old enough to remember when stock trading bill died last year, in part, because Congress tried to apply it to the office of the President. Trump knew exactly what he was doing.

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Ukrainian forces released a spectacular video showing how FP-2 drones fire missiles upon Russian targets. Even moving targets are in the game.
This multiplies the rate of devastation a single drone can deliver.

@marcthiessen MAGA Republicans don’t believe in anything. They’ll do whatever Trump tells them to do.
English
MAGA Republicans are more pro-Taiwan than any group polled: 83% percent believe it is important for the U.S. to defend Taiwan against Chinese aggression.
If China took military action against Taiwan:
*75% would support deploying U.S. military assets;
*72% would support establishing a no-fly zone that could include “shooting down Chinese warplanes”;
*63% would support committing U.S. ground forces to defend Taiwan
*84 percent would support the United States officially recognizing Taiwan as an independent country.

Bill Cassidy, conceding defeat, throws shade at Donald Trump: “When you participate in democracy, sometimes it doesn’t turn out the way you want it to. But you don’t pout. You don’t whine. You don’t claim the election was stolen.”
His crowd immediately gets the reference.

When you listen to Trump talk about Taiwan (or many other topics) it’s the stuff he doesn’t say that is more revealing. Asked about Taiwan he blathers on about how big and strong China is, how tiny Taiwan is, about tariffs and dumb American presidents who didn’t use them. What doesn’t he talk about?
Alliances, obligations, democracy, values, honor, etc.
Keep in mind, if you don’t care whether Trump throws Taiwan under the bus, that wouldn’t be the only betrayal involved. We’d be screwing Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Australia too. I’m not saying we should get into a shooting war over Taiwan. I am saying Trump shouldn’t betray our allies, our values, and our national security and national honor just because he’s got a man crush on Xi.

🇷🇺💥Two major gas pipelines in Ingria near St. Petersburg - “Belousovo-Leningrad” and “Konya Lakhta” were reportedly blown up in a sabotage attack claimed by the partisan group Black Spark.
According to the group, the explosives for the homemade device were obtained from a military unit in the Leningrad Military District. The targeted pipelines supply gas to major Russian industrial and defense facilities, including the North Shipyard, Admiralty Shipyards, the Kirov Plant, and Almaz-Antey production sites. “Konya Lakhta” also supplies the North-West Thermal Power Station.
Black Spark claims the damage to the “Belousovo-Leningrad” pipeline is severe enough to put it out of service for several weeks, with Gazprom’s losses estimated at over 100 million rubles. The statement ended with a direct message aimed at Vladimir Putin and Gazprom chief Alexei Miller.
