Rutte: We will defend every inch of NATO territory. We launched Eastern Century, bringing capabilities from the Black Sea to the High North to protect the eastern flank.

We work with Ukrainians, who have gained unique experience in drones and anti-drone tech. 1/
Rutte: Allies agree it’s crucial Iran must not get nuclear or ballistic missile capability. The US is now degrading that capability. A nuclear Iran would threaten Israel, the region, and Europe. 2/
Rutte: The Strait of Hormuz must reopen as soon as possible. This is crucial for the world economy, and it’s unacceptable if a key sea lane is closed or unsafe.

Allies are in intense discussions with the US on how to tackle this issue and will find a way forward. 3X

Allied leaders stopped trying to find hidden logic behind Trump's actions.

They understand any contribution they make will count for nothing. Few days later, Trump will not even remember it happened — Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic. 1/ Image
For 14 months American president tariffed allies, mocked their security concerns, repeatedly insulted them.

In Jan 2020: Trump told European officials "if Europe is under attack, we will never come to help you." In Feb 2025: told Zelenskyy he had no right to expect support. 2/
Trump called British "our once-great ally" after they refused to participate in initial assault on Iran.

When they discussed sending aircraft carriers to Persian Gulf, he ridiculed on social media: "We don't need people that join Wars after we've already won!" 3/

The new world war has already started. Ukraine and Iran are not two separate conflicts — they are Act One of the same war.

The war in Ukraine involves Russian soldiers, Chinese circuits, Iranian drones, and mercenaries from North Korea, writes Will Lloyd in New Statesman. 1/ Image
Lloyd met author Oleksandr Mykhed in Kyiv. Mykhed wrote The Language of War — a landmark of conflict literature written from the perspective of a soldier defending his homeland. 2/
When Lloyd asked about peace, Mykhed hated the question. “People think this is the third act. You should think of this as the first act.” 3/

Bill Browder: Putin is definitely licking his lips, feeling like a real gift has come out of left field. The extra money he'll be getting will be about $10B.

That goes to pay for soldiers, ammunition, and whatever else he needs to carry on his war in Ukraine. 1/
Browder: At the same time the Ukrainians have gained territory because they've gotten so good with drone warfare.

Putin's not getting any more territory, he's hiding in a bunker.

It's not all one-sided, it's a complicated story where he's winning some, he's losing some. 2/
Browder: We can't be in a situation where a country [Hungary] with one or two percent of the population of Europe threatens the stability and safety of the entire Europe. Ukraine will get the money, but it will force Europe to restructure how big decisions like this get made. 3X

CIA Director Ratcliffe: “I don’t take Vladimir Putin at his word.”

Ratcliffe confirmed Iran is seeking intelligence from Russia and China to target US forces. Moscow may be providing data like satellite imagery, NYPost. 1/ Image
Ratcliffe: “The Iranians are requesting intelligence assistance from Russia, from China, and from other adversaries of the US.”

Details on whether support is being provided were kept classified. 2/
Russia may be supplying targeting data, including satellite imagery and intelligence on US assets in the Middle East, to support Iranian operations. Moscow denies the claims. 3/

Keane: European weakness comes from decades of cutting defense spending to pay for domestic programs.

Russia saw those vulnerabilities and invaded Ukraine, while the US now needs allied support for operations — and expects Europe to step forward after initial hesitation. 1/
Keane: The US objective is to strip Iran of both defensive and offensive weapons, including its nuclear capability.

Progress has been systematic and accurate, with 5,000-pound bombs now used to hit deeply buried missile storage sites that cannot be destroyed from the surface. 2/
Keane: Israeli operations are targeting the organizations that sustain the regime, including militias and command structures

Leadership is being systematically removed, cracks are appearing and the goal is to set conditions for regime collapse by breaking the chain of control 3X

Kellogg: The Strait of Hormuz is passable now — we just need the courage to do it.

They are softening targets by taking out shore-to-ship missiles and batteries. If you take Kharg Island and secure the strait, you’re in great shape and can move ships through. 1/
Kellogg: The strait is about 25 miles wide, but shipping lanes are only two miles each way.

You clear mines and missile threats — Iran’s systems come largely from Russia and China — and run escorted ships through to reopen the route. 2/
Kellogg: War is a two-way street — you’re going to get hit.

The first runs will face drones or missiles, like the “Thunder runs” into Baghdad. You push through expecting fire — you just have to kill them all, and sooner or later they’re going to break. 3X
