Meteor hydrofoils are Soviet high-speed river passenger vessels (Projects 342/342E), designed in the late 1950s under Rostislav Alexeyev.

These aluminum-hulled craft rise onto underwater foils, reaching speeds of around 65–77 km/h while carrying up to about 120 passengers. Over 400 were built and operated widely across the USSR and exported to nearly 20 countries. Some originals still run tourist routes (such as St. Petersburg to Peterhof), and modernized successors like the Meteor 120R continue the lineage today. (TT ilyabhy)

The most important book of 2026 is officially published today!

"Israel’s Lobby" is neither a sequel to John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt’s groundbreaking 2007 book, nor simply an update of it. It does something different.

@EliClifton and Lustick provide a systematic history of the moments when, in their telling, Israel and its American supporters have worked against U.S. interests. But they also add a dimension that Mearsheimer and Walt did not explore at length: money—and, specifically, the financial machinery behind efforts to put Israel’s interests ahead of America’s.

The reason this will become the most important book of 2026 lies in the collision between its findings and its timing. Never before have Americans been so willing to openly debate the once-taboo question of Israel’s influence in American politics.

The revelations are stunning.

A trillion-dollar military running short of missiles after six months tells you what the system actually produces: not strategic endurance, but corporate profit. The Pentagon is less a war economy than a machine for transferring public wealth to private capital.

It appears that electronic warfare (EW) equipment is being installed on Geran drones to disrupt Ukrainian FPV drone interceptors.

One such incident was reportedly captured by Ukrainian sources, showing an interceptor suddenly losing its video feed as it approaches a Geran.

Incapable de défendre son bilan calamiteux, le candidat du vide en fait des tonnes sur une potentielle ingérence russe.

C’est grossier, ridicule et honteux.

Il y a encore des journalistes qui se cachent dans les médias de propagande ?

Many GenX DID rough it when we were young adults. The difference is, we understood that to be a temporary stage of life while we worked our way up the ladder. The problem is that today THERE IS NO LADDER.

Why so many older people are studiously ignoring that point is beyond me.
