If you're not following @edwardlucas and not reading his books and his articles on Substack or in the media, you absolutely should!
He is someone who has always listened to what the Baltics had to say, and remains one of our best friends and allies.
Thank you 💐

🔥 Un cachalot… à côté d’un humain. Et là tu comprends vraiment l’échelle du monde. Un cachalot... à côté d’un humain. Et là tu comprends vraiment l’échelle du monde.
Le cachalot c'est :
📏 Jusqu’à 24 mètres de long
⚖️ Jusqu’à 80 tonnes
🧠 Le plus gros cerveau du monde animal (jusqu’à 8 kg)
Mais attends…
🤯 Il produit le son le plus puissant de la planète (jusqu’à 236 décibels)
🌊 Il plonge à plus de 2000 mètres dans l’obscurité totale
⏱️ Il peut rester plus d’1 heure sans respirer
🦑 Il chasse des calmars géants dans les abysses
📡 Il “voit” avec le son grâce à un sonar naturel
Et malgré tout ça, on ne comprend encore qu’une partie de sa vie car très difficilement observable.

A reality the White House continues to underplay. “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran—are increasingly converging, as Russia aids Iran, which has been supplying Moscow with arms, most notably long-range Shahed drones.”

This was the moment Wamata met her SWT family – and took her first helicopter flight. She was a small elephant, but it was a tight squeeze nonetheless.
Her journey to safety began with an aerial sighting: a lone baby elephant, hiding in the forest. Our pilots conducted numerous searches to find her family, but came up short. With time running out, and a green light from the authorities to mount a rescue, we stepped in.
To keep her calm during the flight, we gently secured her legs and placed a blanket over her eyes to reduce stimulation. Once at her destination – our Nairobi Nursery – this precious cargo was hand-delivered into a warm stable where her recovery began.
That was back in 2024. Today, she is thriving. See how she looks now: sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/wamata

WHO IS THIS ARMOR FOR? If we are moving the prepositioned Brigade equipment from Diego Garcia that means there is going to be a LONG lead time for whatever Brigade sized unit to marry up with these vehicles.
These are NOT for the 82nd airborne. Fox News says Trump is planning another 10,000 men!
These 1000 vehicles need function checks, refueling, off loading, making sure they start and allocation to units that need them. Also they must bring Bradley crews, APC crews truck drivers, water purification, combat engineers, specific vehicle maintainers and THOUSANDS OF TONE OF AMMUNITION
This spells out an invasion force. A small one but its offensive, not defensive.
Why?

🇬🇧🇺🇸NSF DIEGO GARCIA 🧐
Mar 26 imagery reveals significant shifts in the operational footprint at DG.
➡️Heavy Lift: After sitting at anchor inside the lagoon since Oct '25, USNS Pililaau (T-AKR 304) is now just outside the atoll (likely ready to depart). FWIW, A single Bob Hope-class can lift an entire US Army Task Force (58 tanks, 900+ vehicles). Where is she headed?
➡️Replenishing the Replenishers: A Lewis & Clark-class dry cargo ship (T-AKE) is now in the atoll. With no recent resupply vessels spotted at Duqm, Salalah, or Djibouti, DG may be taking over that role. If true, that is a massively extended logistics chain for the Lincoln CSG
➡️VLS Reload: The DDG remains pierside. Notably, there is visible activity focused over the bow—perhaps a forward VLS reload.
➡️South apron remains busy with heavy transport and aerial refueling assets (likely)

This is completely wrong. All Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have been carried out using Ukraine’s indigenously developed drones and cruise missiles. No American weaponry has been used.
Ryan Grim@ryangrim
Every Ukrainian attack on Russian oil infrastructure drives up oil and gas prices and helps Iran against the U.S. — and the U.S. is providing the weapons to Ukraine to attack Russian oil infrastructure which helps Iran. IOW: We are spending our own tax dollars to drive up oil prices that will fund Iran’s war effort. Sorry to repeat myself but I feel like people aren’t getting it.

Quick answer: yep.

I have a question. Did the Pentagon look at Operation Spiderweb that destroyed a big chunk of Russian strategic aviation last year, and decide: nah, we’re good, we can just park our planes in the open within enemy reach because if we believe we have nothing to learn from these Ukrainians, our enemies must surely believe the same? And yes, Iran has precision missile capabilities that are orders of magnitude better than Ukraine’s.
