Bolton: To allow any Iranian oil to get out was a mistake, to wave sanctions on Iranian oil is a mistake.

We don't want to finance the Iranian regime in its military campaign against our service members. At this point Kharg island might be a deception operation. 1/
Bolton: I don't think that there's anybody in Iran’s regime with whom we can negotiate.

If we weren't prepared to stick this out, then I don't think the President ever should have started it. 2X

Former Secretary of State, Pompeo: Ukraine’s surge has Russia reeling. Don’t give in to Putin now.

Appeasement is more dangerous than standing your ground.

Zelenskyy said Putin is using mafia tactics to blackmail the US. What does it tell the world if that works? - NYPost. 1/ Image
Pompeo: After four years of wasted blood and treasure, Russia not only isn’t winning its war. It is facing its worst setback.

Last Monday, Ukrainian drone attacks on the Baltic Sea port of Primorsk knocked out an estimated 40% of Russia’s oil export capacity. 2/
Pompeo: The Primorsk strike capped off a tremendous breakthrough in Kyiv’s efforts to push back Russian forces in the Donetsk region.

Ukrainian mines, mortars, artillery and unmanned aircraft killed 6,000 advancing soldiers between March 17 and March 20. 3/

Daria “Delta” Lopatina, 19, an electronic warfare engineer in the Azov, russians killed her in action in eastern Ukraine in September 2025. She was a second-year Artificial Intelligence student at KSE.

Daria represents the best of Ukraine. It is so painful that she died. 1/ Image
At 17, she was personally endorsed for admission to KSE because of her talent in STEM. She could have joined an arms company or a ministry. She chose the front line instead, writes Kyiv Independent. 2/
Gaus: She was working till the end. Her conscience did not allow her to just watch what was happening in Ukraine and stand aside, although she had every opportunity to go study abroad. 3/

Three myths block Ukraine from NATO: “no expansion promise,” “Russia attacks because of NATO” and “Ukraine provoked the war”

All false: Gorbachev denied any promise, Russia attacked a neutral Ukraine and the US opposed NATO entry before the invasion, Getmanchuk for Telegraph. 1/ Image
The real barrier is not reforms. It is fear of Russia.

NATO countries hold back membership because of Moscow — not because Ukraine isn’t ready. 2/
Myth 1: NATO promised not to expand. No such promise existed, even Gorbachev said it clearly.

Russia claims to fear NATO borders, yet pushes west, losing 30,000 troops a month to move closer to NATO.

Ukraine must allow drone exports to Gulf countries now — they are ready to buy. Strike while the iron is hot.

Subject to export controls, of course, and Ukraine national security interests. 1/ Image
Citigroup CEO Chuck Prince told FT in '07: “As long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing.” 2/
He described the logic of banks on the eve of the financial crisis. Everyone knew the risks. But stopping first meant losing to competitors. So they kept dancing. 3/

Ukraine built a layered system to beat $50k Iranian drones — and is now exporting it.

Shahed: 1,500-mile range, 115 mph, 40 kg warhead, launched from trucks. Cheap, GPS-guided, mass-produced.

Gulf states initially countered them with $1M Patriots, Telegraph. 1/ Image
Gulf states initially used $1M Patriot interceptors against $30k drones. They burned high-end missiles on low-cost drones.

Ukraine couldn’t afford that — it had to redesign air defense under constraint. So it built a cheaper, scalable air defense architecture from scratch. 2/
Ukraine’s system starts with sound detection.

Over 10,000 acoustic sensors track drone signatures, feeding location and trajectory into a centralized system — enabling early warning and guiding interceptors in real time. 3/

Elon Musk was on a Trump-Modi call about the Iran war — and neither Washington nor New Delhi said so publicly.

Two U.S. officials confirmed that a private businessman was on the call as the Strait of Hormuz crisis rattled oil markets — NYT. 1/ Image
The call focused on Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz.

The halt to most maritime traffic there has pushed energy prices higher, roiled markets, and brought some Asian countries close to fuel rationing. 2/
The NYT says it is unclear why Musk was on the call or whether he spoke. Neither government mentioned him in official readouts.

His presence became public only because two U.S. officials, speaking anonymously, confirmed it. 3/
