Putin isn't bluffing as some may think about him waving Russia's nuclear deterrence threat over a no fly zone. Although he's rational, yet that is part of an engaging security bargain.
Here are some thoughts about it. 1/23

Didier Deschamps a very dignified, selfless figure as he says adieu to the France job. Reflecting on his career, Deschamps said: "I feel I gave so much. I want to talk like the youth (and say), ‘I really had a blast, I really had a blast’, talking with my players. But this is the end. I have received many messages but two or three created tears. These people really matter to me.”
On his future, “I will take care of my family. I need to go on holiday with my family. I will recover (energy). With my personal situation - which I do not wish on anybody (his mother passing away) - but it drained me.
"I am so proud we got the second star, winning the 2018 World Cup and contributing to the French people's pride. With passion, we did everything we could for the French team to reach the top of the top.” Legend.
Une page de l’histoire du football français se tourne ce soir. Merci Didier Deschamps pour les victoires légendaires, les émotions fortes, pour avoir porté durant des années nos Bleus et fait vibrer la France. Quatorze années : la génération Deschamps.

If the Diego Garcia strike report is accurate, then one of the central assumptions about Iran’s missile program has just collapsed. For years, the accepted ceiling was around 2,000 kilometers. A ballistic missile reaching Diego Garcia suggests something in the neighborhood of 4,000 kilometers, which pushes it out of the medium-range category and into the intermediate-range class (IRBM). That is a strategic leap.
The real story is not whether the missile was intercepted. It is that Iran may have demonstrated reach far beyond what much of the world believed it possessed. A 4,000-kilometer capability changes the map. Major European capitals begin to enter the conversation. Paris comes into range. London moves much closer to the edge of vulnerability depending on launch point and payload. This would mean the missile threat is no longer confined to the Gulf, Israel, or parts of South Asia. It would mean the radius of deterrence, defense, and fear has expanded dramatically. If confirmed, Diego Garcia was not just a target. It was a message.
