🇺🇸 Pete Hegseth just got absolutely humiliated by Senator Tammy Duckworth!
Senator Tammy Duckworth, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs while serving in Iraq, challenged Hegseth:
"I'm glad you brought that up. Can you name a single country that belongs to ASEAN and explain what agreement we have with it? And, by the way, how many countries are in ASEAN? Frankly, I'm not sure you even know who our allies are."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
"Well, I can't give you the exact number, but I certainly know our allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia..."
Senator Duckworth:
"None of the countries you just mentioned are members of ASEAN. I suggest you do your homework before engaging in these discussions."
And this is the kind of clueless bullshit running the Pentagon. Absolutely unbelievable.
🚨 BREAKING: Ontario Premier Doug Ford just canceled Elon Musk’s Starlink contract and banned all U.S. companies from government contracts in response to Trump’s economic war with Canada.
“It’s done, it’s gone,” Ford said. “We won’t award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country.”
And just to be clear: “They only have President Trump to blame.”
So Trump starts a trade war, and now American businesses are getting locked out of Canada. This isn’t “tough negotiating”—this is our closest ally shutting the door on us while Trump pretends he’s “winning.”
MAGA wanted an economic war? Well, they just got one. And it’s American companies and workers who are about to feel the pain.

Ukraine today is Britain in 1940, standing alone against aggression while others debate. The U.S. and Europe have a moral and practical obligation to stand with them. I joined @JessicaDean on @CNN.
Today, the people of Serbia turned out in record numbers to shape their country’s future.
Congratulations to the Student List on its victory in the parliamentary elections.
We stand ready to support reforms on the rule of law, media freedom, the fight against corruption and strong democratic institutions, and to work together to advance Serbia’s future in the European Union.

Snyder: I visited the front in Ukraine. Things look pretty good. A Russian breakthrough seems pretty unlikely, and having to mobilize is a bad sign for Russia.
Ukrainians gain more territory than they lose and inflict many times more casualties. 1/

🎬Neste filme, partilhamos de onde vimos, quem somos e o que nos move. A memória de quem nos precedeu acompanha a determinação de quem serve hoje e a responsabilidade de preparar quem nos seguirá.
Um Exército pronto para servir e preparado para combater.
This is a confession to treason.
Elon Musk, a private individual and not an elected official, hijacked U.S. national defence policy to harm partner Ukraine and help enemy Russia.

“A questão que se coloca, hoje, não é se a mentalidade revolucionária ainda está viva, mas se a sociedade das liberdades está disponível para derrotá-la.”

US General Curtis Buzzard: It's this velocity of learning that the Ukrainians demonstrate from observing to learning to adapting to then fighting it again.
They didn't have enough mid-range strike capabilities, so they invented their own — CSIS. 1/
When I’m educating people about psyops being played on them I always say the easiest way to tell if something was faked is if it can’t be recreated again.
In other words I, as a former sniper, cannot shoot a persons ear with an AR 15 and leave no scar.
It’s impossible.
Fact.🫡
The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped.

A large, carefully planned Russian propaganda operation appears to be underway. Having starved people in the town of Oleshky for months, Russia, withe US help, will now "liberate" it. Read @ZarinaZabrisky below:
Applebaum: If Russia wins the war, European defense spending would have to triple or quadruple, because the threat would be much greater.
Europe must give Ukraine defenses and offensive weapons to hit enough Russian targets that Moscow concludes it cannot win. 1/
The problem isn’t that AI is intelligent. It isn’t. The problem is that too many adults (but not all) are at once mechanistic, imitative, unimaginative, stupid, formulaic, influenceable, & gullible, arrogant beyond their skill set, & too expensive to maintain.
