#Hegseth estimates #IranWar has cost US Taxpayers $37.5 Billion so far
#Defense Secy Pete Hegseth faced questions & #protests Tuesday over the #US #war with #Iran, which he *estimated* has cost $37.5 billion so far [meaning double that, at a minimum], as #Republicans prepare a $95 billion #GOP budget package to #fund the #military, along with other #Trump priorities.

for confused Europeans working through the shifting sands of the #geopolitics of the modern world:
2016: #USA is the #military "protector of the free world"
2026: #Ukraine is "protector of the free world" ( #USA has devolved into that incoherent bigot uncle you do your best to ignore at family gatherings)
adjust your budgets and attitudes accordingly

Trump says U.S. will grant Ukraine's request for license to build Patriot interceptors
"A little birdie told me this, about the fact that we'll give them the right to make Patriots," President Trump told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Kathryn Watson (CBS News)
🚨 #Russia likely used shadow ships to launch drones over #Europe that repeatedly disrupted civilian aviation, as it monitored #military sites & tested the air #defenses of #NATO nations, acc/to a report published Thursday by the #IISS think tank.
The report, which was shared before publication with AP, plotted 144 suspected drone sightings across Europe, including in NATO members #Germany, #France, #Belgium, the #Netherlands, the #UK, & #Denmark, between 2024 & 2026.
Yesterday in #WashingtonDC, on the steps of the Capitol where protest is currently not allowed (!), an active duty officer in the #AirForce deliberately broke the law to honor his oath of service. He called for the removal of Trump, and he wore his uniform to do it.
Rep. Al Green, my favorite member of Congress, and the Removal Coalition stood with him, as did a crowd of DC protesters.

#Russia demanded #Yandex to censor all(ish) #military installations and partners on #YandexMaps
So now it's WAY easier for #Ukraine to figure out where they are! 😄
And should you wonder what's actually hidden behind the pixels, then #GoogleMaps is ready to assist! 😁

“According to Russian military bloggers, the average life expectancy of a new recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once they are sent onto the battlefield, Russian fighters survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes.”

As the Tide Turns Against Putin, Beware the Drowning Man
Like a struggling swimmer, he may take desperate measures to stay afloat.Peter Frankopan (Foreign Policy)
#Military secrets are fiercely guarded for obvious reasons. But also obviously in a #war your enemy gets a lot of exposure to the operating parameters, capabilities, and weaknesses of your #technology. And gets plenty of physical samples
So #Ukraine just open sourced all of #Russia's military secrets 😆
Well not strictly, it's only for allies
And a knock-on effect is it devalues Russian arms sales because potential buyers know it's all exposed
It's called #TrophyLab
