German Chancellor Merz on MAGA: The MAGA movement is not our movement. What they are doing with culture and media, how they deal with each other, is not our understanding of democracy. We have a different understanding.

OMG this is insane! A former CIA operative just admitted on camera that the US intentionally armed and relied on Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria just to serve Israel's geopolitical interests against Iran. They literally created the ISIS caliphate!

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says attacks by Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians and Israeli soldiers in the West Bank are "morally and ethically unacceptable" and cause "extraordinary strategic damage" to the military. "Recently, there has been an increase in nationalist crime incidents, some of which are directed directly against our soldiers and toward the civilian population," Zamir says during a visit to the Central Command today. "It is unacceptable that during a multi-front war, the IDF is forced to also contend with a threatening minority from within," he says, according to remarks provided by the IDF. Zamir calls the assailants "rioters who do not represent the settlements." "On the contrary, they endanger the settlements, security, stability, and our values as a people and as a state," he says. "I call on all authorities in the country to stand against this phenomenon and uproot it before it is too late. Anyone who thinks these actions help security is mistaken; they are morally and ethically unacceptable, and they create extraordinary strategic damage to the IDF's efforts," he adds.

Sen. Ossoff: "The American people need to know that the President of the United States is fundraising for his political campaign and his PAC using images of American servicemembers killed in action, and it's a disgrace."

Today marks a significant escalation in M.E. war. The economic effect will likely be felt for years. “Iran hit the site of the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility (LNG) in Qatar with a ballistic missile, inflicting “extensive damage” in retaliation for an attack on the Islamic republic’s South Pars gasfield.

Gen. PETRAEUS: The future of warfare—not yet seen in the Gulf—is Ukraine producing 7 million drones per year. Last year they made 3.5 million, enabling 9–10 thousand drones per day. These are still remotely piloted. But autonomous systems are coming, and that means drone swarms. They're already being introduced at mission end. Defending against swarms is really hard—you'll need high-powered microwaves or similar. We're not where we should be, despite what we should have learned from Ukraine for a very long time. They're making software changes every week or two, hardware changes every 2–3 weeks.

“They're producing more terrorists than they're killing.” Israel’s campaigns against Hamas and Iran have produced “more radicals” than they have killed, US security expert Robert Pape says.

🚨 Joe Kent says Ali Larijani was negotiating peace and was killed. Qatar’s gas could have stabilized energy markets — it was hit too. He says Tel Aviv doesn’t want peace, it wants permanent war, and America is the weapon.
