Modern war isn’t chaos.
It follows patterns of power, fear, and violence.

I break down conflict, regime stability, and security as they actually work from experience, not slogans.

No narratives. No comfort stories. Just reality.

They teach you this in basic, you have to stay away from everything you didn’t put down yourself. Even if it’s water or a pack of cigarettes.

If you didn’t drop it don’t pick it up

🚨 Exclusive:

SAS veterans are training Russians to fight in Ukraine, according to a leaked intelligence memo obtained by @Telegraph.

An assessment compiled for Five Eyes intelligence agencies found, with “strong confidence”, that Western military veterans had been recruited to train Russian citizens as well as “active duty military” personnel.

The Telegraph has been shown a copy of a memo compiled for the Australian Secret Intelligence Service, based on interviews with two former Australian special forces operatives and an active-duty reservist.

They say they were approached to become instructors at training camps in Bulgaria and Serbia that allegedly hosted Russian clients.

Ukraine fired Fedorov over a power struggle with Syrskyi. Italy hired him as an advisor.

Can’t blame him.

Internal rivalries pushed out proven wartime expertise someone else picked it up. As they should.

Don’t waste what war teaches.

[Mykhailo Fedorov @FedorovMykhailo]

Kicked off an international working trip with our team, focused on advancing our new initiatives in digitalization and defense tech.

First stop — a meeting with Italian Minister of Defense @GuidoCrosetto.

I expressed my gratitude to Guido for his personal support and for the offer to serve as his Advisor on Defense Innovations. I am deeply thankful for this trust and strategic partnership. In this role, I will assist Italy in adopting modern warfare technologies, enhancing its defense sector, and adapting to emerging global security challenges.

Ukraine and our team possess unique, real-world experience in high-tech warfare that we are eager to share with our allies. At the same time, my primary focus remains unchanged: I continue my work in Ukraine on core projects that strengthen our defense and help attract international resources.

During our meeting, we discussed drones, autonomous systems, air defense, and building out the defense tech ecosystem.
The future of defense belongs to nations that can rapidly test and scale new solutions by pairing cutting-edge technology with robust manufacturing. Ukraine’s experience can serve as the foundation for Europe’s new defense model.

Our international trip continues. Ahead are key meetings with partners regarding digitalization, defense tech, and launching new collaborative projects.

UPDATE: We have the answer.

WSJ reports Ratcliffe went to Moscow to warn Russia against attacking NATO following new US intelligence that Putin could test the Alliance.

Meanwhile, a Berlin weapons cache is tied to a Russian-directed sabotage network.

This is getting serious.

If I had to wager, I’d say Ratcliffe is in Moscow to warn about Russian escalation against Europe/NATO. Linked to U.S. intelligence shared with Poles, Balts and Scandinavians, and comes amid a noticeable uptick in suspected GRU sabotage operations and Russian drone activity. See Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. You don't need DCIA for prisoner swaps. Ratcliffe is also the most pro-Ukraine official in the administration, responsible for helping Kyiv with deep strikes. Context here is important: Bill Burns went to Moscow in 2021 to warn Putin against... invading Ukraine.

5/5

I’m NOT saying Russia is about to attack NATO.

I’m saying the window for coercion, probing and escalation is becoming unusually attractive.

The question isn’t “Will Russia invade tomorrow?”

How much can Russia test NATO before the West responds collectively?

Watch this.

[AthosLegio 🇩🇪🇺🇸 @AthosLegio]

Are we looking at coincidence or convergence?

Two developments caught my attention:

🇺🇸 CIA Director John Ratcliffe makes a surprise visit to Moscow.

🇩🇪 A third drone, with suspected military-grade explosives, is found near Leipzig/Halle.

The timing matters. Watch closely.

Now look at the strategic environment:

🇺🇸 US committed in the Middle East
🇮🇷 Iran disrupting maritime routes
🇷🇺 Russia and NATO testing each other
🇨🇳 China watching US bandwidth
🇪🇺 Europe carrying more of the security burden

A perfect environment for probing and escalation

[AthosLegio 🇩🇪🇺🇸 @AthosLegio]

“Back to basics.”

There is no going back. Warfare evolves constantly, you adapt or lose.

The modern infantryman must be fit, shoot, move, fight and operate in the drone domain.

You don’t abandon new capabilities because they disrupt the old way of fighting.

[Faytuks Network @FaytuksNetwork]

The U.S. Army is phasing out a drone assault battalion established in Europe to study Ukraine warfare lessons, under a "back-to-basics" approach by acting chief Gen. Christopher LaNeve. The unit will return to airborne infantry duties after a German exercise, with critics warning the move will slow Army drone innovation. -WSJ
