New campaign invites Brits, Germans to visit Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania.

Trump is being presented with a binary choice:
cut a deal or escalate the war.

At this point, the reality we are in based on the conditions we have allowed means that either way, Trump will be criticized for cutting a worse deal than Obama’s or will be forced further into a war worse than Bush's.

But we have a third option, no deal required: just declare victory and walk away.

Until Israel is restrained, they will drag us back into war just like they did after Operation Midnight Hammer. Unless we reset the conditions on our terms, we will ultimately suffer an endless cycle of conflict at the behest of Israel.

Trump should reject the Obama/Bush binary and handle this his way—walk away, pull our troops out, cut aid to Israel, say he won, & quietly deal with the Iranians moving forward.

This way, Iran loses its incentive to choke the SOH, freeing up oil commerce & avoiding an escalation into a war no one wants and which we can’t afford.

Persia is an ancient and formidable geographic reality—we must deal with them as such.

Authorities in Denmark have detained wind turbine installation vessel (WTIV) "Brave Tern", after it accidentally struck a vessel of similar type in bad weather at the Port of Esbjerg in Denmark on Wednesday, June 10.

Russian senator Dmitry Rogozin has suggested that Russian-linked oil tankers should be mined and detonated if they are seized or forced into foreign ports.

Reacting to Britain’s interception of a shadow-fleet tanker this morning, Rogozin compared London’s actions to British 17th century privateering and plunder, then wrote that “a couple of explosions under their noses” with oil spills and environmental damage would make them “think again.”

BREAKING:

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.

Israel is bombing residential buildings in densely populated neighborhoods of Beirut.

A ceasefire that still allows bombs to fall on civilians is not a ceasefire.

So much for signing the peace deal today

Now we wait and see if Iran plans to respond.

Iran previously stated that it would carry out retaliatory attacks if Israel struck Beirut, which is what they did the last time Israel attacked Beirut.

In 2021, Russia supplied 150 bcm of gas to Europe.

In 2025: 36 bcm.

The US went from 19 bcm to 76 bcm.

The numbers:

Russia: 150.2 → 42.9 → 36.0 bcm

United States: 18.9 → 56.3 → 75.6 bcm

Norway: 79.5 → 87.8 → 89.3 bcm (maxed out)

North Africa: 44.1 → 41.0 → 36.7 bcm (declining)

In 4 years, Europe replaced 114 bcm of Russian gas.

The US absorbed most of that gap a 4x increase in LNG exports to Europe.

Norway couldn't save Europe.

It tried output grew from 79.5 to 89.3 bcm but it was already near capacity. North Africa declined. "Other" helped but couldn't scale fast enough.

The US could, and did.

36 bcm of Russian gas still flows to Europe.

The political pressure to restore more especially as Hormuz tightens and prices spike is real.

The chart shows how far Europe has come.

It also shows the remaining exposure.

Yesterday afternoon, Russia attacked the Mayaky Bridge in Odesa Oblast with 2 Kh-59/69 cruise missiles launched by a Su-34 over the western Black Sea. Currently, Geran-2 drones are now attacking this same target.

The Mayaky Bridge is one of two land bridges connecting southern Odesa Oblast with the rest of Ukraine. The other is the Zatoka Bridge, which has also been repeatedly attacked over the last few days.

While the Zatoka Bridge is the only bridge connecting southern Odesa Oblast with the rest of the country that runs entirely through Ukraine, the Mayaky Bridge only runs through a small corner of Moldova Oblast for about 7 km, before returning to Odesa Oblast, meaning it is also used extensively by Ukraine for logistics.

Berliner Zeitung reports that sanctions on Russian fish supplies to the EU could backfire on Germany.

Germany has reportedly quadrupled its imports of Russian fish over the past five years, and coastal regions such as Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania could be hit hardest if supplies are cut.

Industry figures are already warning of job losses.

🇷🇺🏦 The governor of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, is under de facto house arrest. This was reported by Dmitry Skorobutov, the former chief editor of the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (VGTRK), who is in exile in Switzerland.
🗣️ According to Skorobutov, during a heated debate at the end of May / beginning of June, Nabiullina issued an ultimatum to Putin: she would resign and leave the country if the Russian dictator announced general mobilization for the ongoing war in Ukraine.

This report, if confirmed, points to deep internal fractures within Russia’s top economic and political circles. Nabiullina, long seen as one of the few relatively pragmatic figures in Putin’s entourage, appears to be resisting further radical escalation (such as mass mobilization) due to its potentially catastrophic economic consequences. Her reported confinement highlights the Kremlin’s increasing intolerance for any dissent, even from key technocrats, amid mounting war-related pressures.

It seems that two targets were hit in Zaporizhzhia City, each by 2 KAB glide-bombs.

Based on the trajectory of the glide-bombs, these were the M2 (47.87785, 35.17950) and M3 (47.87329, 35.16170) 150 kV electrical substations, although there is always a margin of error with this.

Power outages are reported in parts of the city.

Lithuania today issued an air alert after an unidentified object initially believed to be a drone entered its airspace. Authorities later determined it was a meteorological balloon.

NATO fighter jets were scrambled in response, but the alert was later lifted.

The UK's public sector net debt is currently hovering around 94% to 101% of GDP (totaling roughly £2.9 trillion). Meanwhile, the budget deficit (public sector net borrowing) sits at approximately 4.3% to 4.5% of GDP, following an estimated £129 billion in government borrowing. 😆

📉 UK economy contracted 0.1% in April as Iran war hit — exactly as Europe’s energy crisis deepens.
Wars involving the world’s top energy producers (#MiddleEast countries and Russia) have led to oil and gas shock, surging prices, and strangled growth.
Europe’s industries are paying the price for conflicts in key energy regions. Stagflation risks are rising. #UKEconomy #GlobalEconomy
