If only there was a superpower that could provide even more weapons and support to the Ukrainians

Another military target, @mfa_russia’s Zakharova?

You keep telling the world that #Russia strikes only military targets in #Ukraine.

BREAKING US will release $12 billion in frozen assets to Iran before the start of negotiations, Iran's Mehr news agency reports, quoting a 14-point memorandum of understanding between the two nations

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

In the early hours of this morning, I directed our Armed Forces to intercept a shadow fleet oil tanker attempting to pass through the English Channel.

This successful operation delivers yet another blow to Russia and reminds those fueling Putin's war in Ukraine that we will not let them hide.

I want to thank those involved, including our Armed Forces and law enforcement officers who keep this country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Complete capitulation

You don't even have to go to a war college for this one

[Ulrich Speck @ulrichspeck]

So ist es. Putin zieht die Strippen, die AfD tanzt nach seinen Vorgaben.

[Tom Nichols @RadioFreeTom]

So, maybe no big signing ceremony this weekend

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

I say again: unreal.

[Steven Pifer @steven_pifer]

#Russia used military force to seize #Crimea in 2014.

Russia launched all-out invasion of #Ukraine in 2022.

Putin wants to pretend #NATO started war and Russia is fighting NATO rather than face reality that Ukraine has stymied Russia's aggression.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Iran says talks have now "completely stalled" due to Trump's positions and actions, saying that as long as Trump does not accept all of Iran's demands in the draft, the 60-day negotiation period has no chance of beginning and Iran won't sign, per a source close to Iran's Ghalibaf.

Vance's new statements say the deal involves "no cash" and "no funds released for signing," while Iran's draft requires the US to release $24 billion in frozen funds and pay Iran $300 billion in war reparations before Iran signs anything.

There clearly isn't an agreement.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Wow. Trump is a genius huh

[Acyn @Acyn]

Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?

Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

“I love the inflation.”

The gasp among GOP operatives registered on the Richter scale

[Richard Deitsch @richarddeitsch]

One thing I always think about with the rigged crowd: If you actually believe in good faith that the 2020 U.S. Election was rigged, then logically you should be calling out the results of Senate elections in Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisana and on and on, no?

But stunningly I never see this.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Trump has a meltdown and ends the interview

Welker: Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying.

Trump: There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.

Welker: Do you have evidence?

Trump: All I have to do is look.

Welker: That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow

Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.

Also, making an analogy where the West is the defender of the beaches - you know, where the Nazis were - is not the smartest speechifying, even for the man some inside the Pentagon refer to as "Dumb McNamara"

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

82 years ago, 14,000 Canadians landed on Juno Beach, many of whom would never come home.

On the anniversary of D-Day, we pause to honour those who served and sacrificed. We remember that our rights, our freedoms, and our way of life were fought for and were won by those who answered the call.

[The Royal Canadian Legion @RoyalCdnLegion]

June 6, 1944. Today, we mark the anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach, showing unparalleled bravery in the face of fierce resistance. 359 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

We stand in silent gratitude for the heroes who broke through the Atlantic Wall and paved the path to liberation.

Today is the 82nd anniversary of D-Day – the Allied landings in Normandy, which significantly hastened the countdown to the Nazis' collapse in World War II. It is one of the most important moments of unity among the defenders of life in human history, and it was less than a year until the peoples’ aspiration for freedom and the hope of peace prevailed in May 1945. It happened then. We are working to make it happen again today.

And although yesterday in Petersburg another cynical order to continue killing was issued for the army trying to destroy our freedom, history has seen this before. The Nazis also had their own hopes after D-Day. But freedom still wins. And even in the darkest circumstances, people find ways to come together to protect life.

I thank all those who are now helping to protect the values that prevailed in World War II. I thank everyone who is defending life. Glory to Ukraine!
