High school graduates remember their departed fathers.
Saw a piece on Xitter saying that Ukrainians were panicking because they knew they had lost the war and were frantic. Hmm. Problem with this idea is that Ukraine has been very systematic. In the early days of the war, they focused on hitting tanks and other armored vehicles. HIMARS rockets were used to hit ammo dumps and other supplies. Anti-aircraft systems have been the focus for a while. Now the focus is to hit supply trucks and trains. They've also been hammering the rear areas, especially hitting oil refineries and industrial targets. Ukraine's organized and systematic strikes have meant Russian forces are now a great deal weaker than before.
Zelenskyy declares Ukraine's solidarity with all the other countries that surround Russia.
Interesting look at the win-win situation in the Ukraine-Russia war. Foreign countries give Ukraine weapons, Ukraine uses them and reports in great technical detail on how the weapons worked. This makes for rapid technical progress.
Will Russia escalate the war to include NATO? Europe must take the prospect seriously.
Viktor Orban is planning comeback just as Netanyahu returned, just as Trump returned. Current Hungarian leadership should take strong measures to prevent this.
Ukraine needs more Patriot missiles. Will the US provide them?
Very interesting remarks by Senator Kelly on Russian vs all other astronauts.
