„The senator [@LindseyGrahamSC] said he was already talking with @realDonaldTrump about further military interventions in Lebanon and potentially Cuba, which he said would happen soon. He wasn’t particularly concerned about what was next in Iran, he said. @michaeldweiss @LindseyGrahamSC @realDonaldTrump 2).
The day after the attack began, Graham told NBC’s »Meet the Press« [1] that the goal of the Iran operation »is to change the threat, not the regime«, adding that the U.S. wouldn’t pick Iran’s next leader.”

The Balochistan Human Rights Documentation Network, a regional rights group, said it verified the names and ages of 57 victims, including 50 students and seven teachers. The students were between the ages of six and 12, the group said. @tombateman @Shayan86 2).
Satellite images captured by Planet Labs before and after the strike show that the school was one of several structures on the compound that were hit, which could have contributed to the higher toll cited by officials.

„Delcy Rodríguez, a 56-year-old lawyer by training, has been described by former colleagues and U.S. officials as a ruthlessly ambitious and Machiavellian political operative. @michaeldweiss 2).
For the last decade, she has held a number of key positions as she climbed her way to the top of Maduro’s authoritarian regime.

She worked hand-in-glove with her brother, Jorge Rodríguez, a trained psychiatrist who now presides over Venezuela’s Congress.

There would be much tortured back story to contend with. During his first term, Mr. Trump had come to blame Ukraine, not the Kremlin, for the 2016 election interference that spawned the Russia investigation.

„The risk of any direct military action between the West and Russia, especially in 2026, is extremely low [1]. @michaeldweiss 2).
Even if no longer fighting in Ukraine, Russia’s armies will need years to reconstitute. In any case Pootin – a risk-averse leader, for all his macho posturing – is unlikely to want to trigger an ever-wider war.

Although a list had previously been compiled, indicating that over 1,200 people were inside the building, the exact number of casualties remains unknown. According to a statement from the Mariupol City Council in March 2022, 300 people died [1] in the theater.

„The EU’s recent decision to raise a €90 billion (£79 billion) loan to keep Kyiv funded into 2027 on the surface addresses the financial issue, but spending this money effectively is not always so easy, especially converting it into the weapons Ukraine needs.

Even if war continues throughout 2026, though, it will be increasingly hard to sustain at the current level.

„It is politically useful for Pootin to have an enemy, as this helps justify his continued militarisation of the Russian state and economy and the repression of dissidents as »traitors«. Europe is being lined up for that role.

How far Pootin is motivated by political pragmatism and how far he really believes in a threat from the West is irrelevant. He will continue to see Europe as a threat, and one whose greatest strength lies in the solidarity within the EU, and between the EU and the UK.
