Just a bizarre series of events, Putin offers direct leader-to-leader peace talks last weekend, and the end result is a small Russian negotiating team showing up to deliver the most maximalist, revanchist, and unhinged demands. Threats of further Russian invasion, prolonged multiyear war, and a negotiation that fell apart after two hours.

A great representation of how absolutely horrendous US Navy procurement is.

In roughly the same time it took the US to fight over and fail to build the Constellation class, Italy managed to build 9 multirole warships with similar capabilities for *half* of the price. Image For €557 million per unit, you get a modular platform with

-5000 nmi cruise range (convoy escort from Hawaii to Japan or the Philippines)
-5 in main gun
-76mm CIWS
-16x heavy SAM with MRBM intercept capabilities
-Dual band AESA radar
-Towed array sonar

They do appear to be complete, though disassembled. Image

After yesterday's events in the White House, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway's largest marine fuel companies, appears to have announced that it will no longer refuel American Navy vessels.

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces. Image The shutdown may have already affected USS Virginia (SSN-774), which attempted to refuel in Norway today but turned around.

(The Virginia class requires some marine diesel for its Caterpillar model 3512B V-12 auxiliary generator).
