The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began.

The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start.

Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have.

If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

Open Letter
To the President of the Russian Federation
From the President of Ukraine

When you came to power in Russia more than 26 years ago, many people in Ukraine viewed you positively. That is how it was. But that is now in the past.
Now, the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians view it positively that our long-range drones paid a visit to the opening of your forum in St. Petersburg, covering a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers. As you know very well, that distance is not the limit of our capabilities.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Thank you, Peter Magyar

RUTTE: Russia's losses are absolutely staggering. Over 30,000 per month. This means losing more men in one month than Soviet Union did in 10 years in Afghanistan.

My message to young Russians and their families:

"You are being sold a raw deal. Men like you who join the fight won’t be trained. The equipment they’ll provide you is substandard.

There is a very high chance you’ll die or be wounded while you’re out there. And odds are that if you are wounded, you will be left to suffer in the mud and die.

So when we talk about tens of thousands of Russian casualties, that’s not abstract. That will probably be you."

PM Carney tells immigrants to leave behind the feuds of their homelands:

"We don't welcome the world's hatreds"

"When you come to Canada you bring your faith, your tradition, your language, your story - you leave behind your animosities"

Our long-range sanctions carried out by the warriors of the Security Service of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine have yielded good results. Important facilities on Russian territory were hit last night.

Among them was the Petersburg Oil Terminal. The distance from Ukraine’s state border to this facility of Russia’s oil industry, which serves the war, is about 1,100 kilometers. Purely military targets at the Kronstadt base were also hit.

Another target was an enterprise in the Tambov region involved in the production of Russian weapons. The distance from the frontline is almost 600 kilometers.

I thank our warriors for their precision. Ukraine’s plan for long-range sanctions is being implemented exactly as needed to bring peace closer. Glory to Ukraine!

@BohuslavskaKate @on_capt All Trump cares about is restarting relations with 🇷🇺 so Putin and Trump can get richer.
Do not be fooled for one instant that Trump is on the side of good... He's not.

It is shameful that some Albertans continue to ignore what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and all Canadians did to build the latest pipeline to tidewater, which cost Canadians many Billions of taxpayer dollars…no Conservative Prime Minister has ever built a pipeline …sad!

[Melanie Behm, she/her @lovelylibrary]

Thank you @JustinTrudeau for always standing up for Canada & Canadians & calling out our shameful, selfish premier who puts herself 1st to the detriment of Albertans/proud Canadians @ABDanielleSmith time to resign.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Since last night, first responders and all necessary services have been working wherever needed. As of now, at least 83 people have been confirmed injured since midnight. Tragically, there are fatalities. My condolences to the families and loved ones.

It was a heavy attack – 90 missiles of various types, many of them ballistic missiles – 36 in total. There were 600 drones. Unfortunately, not all of the ballistic missiles were intercepted – the largest number of hits was in Kyiv. Kyiv was the primary target of this Russian attack.

Putin can’t even pronounce the word “hurrah” clearly anymore – slurs and mumbles – yet he is still vanquishing residential buildings with his missiles. Launched three Russian missiles against a water supply facility. Burned down a market. Damaged dozens of residential buildings. Hit several ordinary schools. Launched his “Oreshnik” against Bila Tserkva. They really are unhinged.

It is important that this does not pass without consequences for Russia. Today, everyone in the world who will not stay silent and chooses to help Ukraine is a defender of life. It is critically important to continue working to secure air defense for Ukraine, especially anti-ballistic capabilities.

We are doing our best to achieve peace and protect people – everything. It is important that Ukraine is not alone. Decisions are needed – from the United States, from Europe and others – to make that old “Oreshnik” in Moscow finally utter the word “peace.”

Ukraine has just deployed a battlefield technology that feels like a mix of science fiction and a game of Call of Duty.

According to The Times, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have introduced a new system that radically changes the rules of modern warfare.

A single operator can now control an entire swarm of drones in real time, see the battlefield through artificial intelligence, receive instant targeting data, and coordinate strikes with sniper-level precision.

What once required dozens of personnel and hours of planning can now reportedly happen within seconds.

Russian troops are already referring to it as “the Ukrainian digital hell.”

A courageous selfless Leader who inspires his people and the world…President Zelensky deserves respect and the Nobel Peace Prize!

[Just saying @kangaroos991]

GREAT nomination & well deserved too!
The 'draft dodger' currently in the Oval
Office probably won't be pleased with
Zelensky's @NobelPrize nomination? 🤷‍♀️
So, please do NOT share, got it? 😉

Wave a 🇺🇦 flag if you stand with Ukraine
and Zelensky! 🙏 🇺🇦 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

The U.S. ambassador to Ukraine resigned and openly accused Trump of aligning with Putin.

Respect to Bridget Brink — a brave and honest woman.
