Pansarknekt i Skärgården

Iran is declaring victory after Trump agreed to ceasefire, saying the U.S. adopted its terms—and it's hard to see it any other way. Iran’s leadership is openly celebrating what it calls a “crushing defeat” for the United States after Donald Trump agreed to a two-week ceasefire and acknowledged using Iran’s own 10-point framework as the basis for negotiations. Iran’s Supreme National Security Council says the U.S. has effectively accepted its core demands—including continued Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz, acceptance of uranium enrichment, lifting sanctions, and even discussions of compensation and U.S. troop withdrawal. Essentially, Trump has, for now, given Iran everything they asked for. Iran’s Foreign Ministry confirmed the same framework, stating safe passage through the Strait will now be coordinated under Iranian control during the ceasefire period. So looking at statements from the U.S. and Iran, it seems clear Trump didn’t bring Iran to the table on U.S. terms—he appears to have moved negotiations onto Iran’s terms. After days of escalating rhetoric, including Trump's threat that "a whole civilization will die tonight," Trump has now reversed course and is embracing the very proposal Iran put forward that a U.S. official called "maximalist" just yesterday. For now, the world should breathe a sigh of relief Trump has backed down, though it feels that this was less of a "TACO"—and more of a surrender.

MAGA calls Europe freeloaders. Here’s what they’re not telling you. ​1. Ramstein Air Base, the most important US military hub outside America, is built on German land provided rent-free, with Germany contributing hundreds of millions to its upkeep. The US couldn’t replace it anywhere in the world. 2. Every US military operation in the Middle East, Africa and Central Asia flows through Ramstein. Lose it and US power projection in the Eastern Hemisphere is crippled. 3. The UK provides and maintains RAF Lakenheath used almost entirely by the US Air Force. Italy provides Aviano. Greece provides Souda Bay. Turkey provides Incirlik. European land. European infrastructure. American operations. 4. The US Sixth Fleet depends entirely on European ports for fuel and supplies. Souda Bay, Naples, 11 Greek ports. Without them the Sixth Fleet cannot operate in the Mediterranean or project power into the Middle East. 5. The majority of NATO’s intelligence and surveillance capacity is hosted on European soil and fed directly to the CIA, NSA and Pentagon. 6. Early warning radar at Fylingdales, UK. Missile tracking in Greenland. Norwegian monitoring stations near Russia. All dependent on European goodwill. 7. It would cost America MORE to bring the troops home than keep them here. European hosts subsidise roughly a third of all basing costs. 8. Europe is America’s largest arms customer. Stop buying American and part of their defence industry goes bankrupt. 9. The bases aren’t charity. They’re America using European soil, European money and European goodwill to project power across the world. 10. We’re not the freeloaders.

Swedish RBS-15 cruise missiles were reportedly used for the first time against Russian military infrastructure in Crimea, striking the “Syvash” platform — a key surveillance and communications hub in the Black Sea. The attack combined naval drones, UAVs, and cruise missiles, overwhelming Russian air defenses. Flying just meters above the water, the RBS-15 is detected only seconds before impact and can hit targets even with radars turned off. The result: a critical “eye” of Russian defenses is gone, creating gaps for further strikes, including attacks on coastal infrastructure. This marks a shift in warfare — cheap drones overload defenses, precision missiles destroy key targets. Russia’s air defense system is being stretched and weakened, while Ukraine builds a networked, tech-driven strike capability. Pressure on Crimea will only grow.

Omg who did this? 😆

Vad är detta?

This doesn't sound like a TACO...

Trump: I had killed Soleimani… I did one other, but this one was not picked up. Osama Bin Laden

Asking Ukraine to stop striking Russia’s oil infrastructure is like asking someone who is being raped not to kick the rapist between the legs
