I am not sure the American military establishment has fully grasped what Trump has actually done here. So let me spell it out in language even a Pentagon procurement officer can understand. Europe has been buying American weapons at a staggering rate. In 2024 alone, US foreign military sales notifications to European countries hit $76 billion. Four times the European average since 2008.  F-35s, missile systems, air defence, ammunition. All of it American. All of it coming with decades of service contracts, maintenance agreements, spare parts, software updates and training programmes worth hundreds of billions more over their operational lifetimes. Between 2020 and 2024, the United States supplied 64 percent of all European weapons imports.  That is now over. Europe has an $860 billion defence plan, and American contractors are being frozen out. The goal is 80 percent of all military purchases from European factories by 2030.  Airbus. Rheinmetall. KNDS. Saab. Leonardo. BAE Systems. They are about to receive the largest order book in the history of European defence industry. Because Trump made it politically impossible for any European government to keep writing cheques to Washington. Some European governments have discussed worries that the Pentagon could remotely disable American F-35 fighters or impose restrictions on how US weapons can be used.  When your supplier is also threatening to annex your allies, that is not paranoia. That is basic procurement logic. Trump set out to make America great again. He has succeeded magnificently. For Rheinmetall. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

The ref has literally cost the Ospreys an away win. Terrible decision from the officials.

@JamesRees8 Nah, kept his head when the referee was refusing to check what could have been a grounding in what was a very tight match.

The cretin fest of the day is going to be caused by the fact that we're now going to have to call orange marmalade, orange marmalade.

@CF10RugbyTrust Just listening on Radio Wales about Penarth resurrecting the fixture v the ‘Welsh Barbarians’ for the 125 anniversary of the fixture. A fixture v @Barbarian_FC might be something a team celebrating a sesquicentennial season might want to arrange @Cardiff_Rugby? 👀

Good morning from CF10 Towers (Malvern Branch). Don't want to be a stick in the mud but I do miss those Easter weekends watching the BaaBaas.

Thought Ethan Phillips, Ben Fry & Ethan Lloyd had excellent games from the core of the semi-pro squad. Dewi Cross brilliant as usual too. Harri Wilde, Steff Emanuel & Matty Young is such a good 10/12/15 dynamic. Huge steadying impact from Cam Tyler-Grocott off the bench too.

LOVING this shot!
Erik Kuna 🚀@erikkuna

This is the shot you can’t get from the press site. This camera was sitting a few football fields from the SLS rocket at Pad 39B for days before launch, baking in the Florida sun, surviving rain, humidity, and whatever else the Cape threw at it. No photographer behind the viewfinder. Just a camera, a sound trigger, and a bet. The way pad remotes work: you set your camera up days in advance, dial in your composition, lock everything down, and walk away. You don’t touch it again until after the launch. The shutter fires on sound activation with a @MiopsTrigger smart+ trigger. With SLS, the four RS-25 engines ignite six seconds before the solid rocket boosters, so the camera is already firing before the vehicle even leaves the pad. You get home, pull the card, and find out if you nailed it or if a bird landed on your lens two days ago and left your a present and you got 400 photos of soemthing crappy. There’s no formula for protecting your gear this close. Some photographers build wooden boxes with doors that pop open. Some use plastic bags and tape. Some do plastic or metal barn door rigs on hinges. I tend to leave mine open just in plastic rain covers because boxes limit my composition and setup time, but that means your cameras are more exposed to the elements and whatever energy and debris comes off the pad. You’re basically gambling a camera body every time you set one. That’s what I love about this genre. There’s no playbook. You make it up as you go. Every time is an adventure. 📸 credit: me for @SuperclusterHQ - Artemis II pad remote | ~1,000 ft from Pad 39B | Kennedy Space Center

In this afternoon’s U19s international at the Arms Park, Wales have beaten Ireland 24-20. A grandstand finish with Wales winning a jackal penalty under their own posts at the end of a prolonged final passage of play. Lots of young talent on show.
