Peace is antithetical to nature. The animals are not at peace, the earth, sea and air are not at peace. The sun, moon and stars are not at peace. Peace is a human invention. Everything strives and dies.

really interesting insight from ukraine a lot of hyped, venture funded defense companies ship their “best” products, then never show up in country. when things break, nothing gets fixed and the gear gets abandoned meanwhile the teams are comfy back in america doing press about their impact, while the equipment is being field tested and laughed at by the troops hearing this directly from people on the front line who should be the real champions is pretty illuminating

There are only two countries in Europe that buy crude oil from Russia— Hungary and Slovakia. Trump is well placed to put pressure on their leaders Orban and Fico, both of whom are allies of his, but instead he hides behind the generic terms NATO or Europe.

A $1.50 Pringles can, a few bucks of explosive, and a $2,000 DJI drone took out a Russian armored vehicle. That’s not just improvisation -- it’s strategic adaptation. Ukraine’s drone war has become a proving ground for asymmetric innovation: garage-built FPVs, fiber-optic-guided strike drones, and autonomous loitering munitions are redefining how wars are fought and how airspace is denied. The next battlefield won’t be won by the most expensive platform. It’ll be won by the team that closes the kill chain faster -- one incoming drone at a time.
