Ukraine’s surprise June 1 drone attack on Russia’s strategic bomber fleet has crippled a significant portion of Russia’s nuclear strike capability. It has also become the latest obstacle in President Donald Trump’s path to resolving the three-year war.It remains to be seen exactly how much the Ukrainian drone attack, orchestrated by Ukraine’s Security Service and codenamed “Spiderweb,” will impact the efforts to facilitate a broader peace.Nevertheless, Trump said the surprise attack was a focal point of a Wednesday phone call he had with Russian President Vladimir Putin. In a post on his Truth Social account following the call, Trump indicated the Russian president is in no rush to settle the conflict.

Did Russia prevent us from going after Japan after they bombed Pearl Harbor? Time to walk away from this mess, as neither side wants peace

Russia isn't the only nuclear power that is vulnerable to such drone attacks. Our generals have been snoozing and putting on drag shows while our enemies have been arming themselves with advanced weapons, including drones. China reportedly has millions of them now. I don't think they acquired them just to do real estate flyover videos.

The EU and GB can carry on with this conflict. The US should withdraw. The US already has enough to deal with, including China, Iran, and Gaza.

Actually there were 40 takeaways from the drone attack and they were all left burning on the ground. At least Ukraine killed planes while Putin kills children in apartment buildings.

If I were President Trump, and I am not, I would loose the Ukranian dogs on Putin to break the stalemate at the front and force him to real negotiations. That and attack the Russian financial clearing system.

Pretty sure President Trump is well aware that the EU and NATO are trying to force Russia into an attack on a member state, thereby forcing the US to have to join WW3 on behalf of NATO. Apparently, the Global Elites think that they are well-situated to survive such a war. If they can’t get rid of us through poisoning our food, air, water and medicine, any other means will do.

Funny how destroying those bombers is a "significant obstacle to peace", but the cruise missiles those planes were loaded with to launch at Ukrainian civilians that evening probably wouldn't have been considered an obstacle, eh? Real funny.

In the latest act of judicial overreach, a rogue lower court judge ordered the Trump administration to restore federal prisoners’ access to transgender-related “treatments” and accommodations on Tuesday. Writing for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Judge Royce Lamberth, a Reagan appointee, granted petitioners’ request for a preliminary injunction on the Trump administration’s policy ensuring that the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) expends “no Federal funds … for any medical procedure, treatment, or drug for the purpose of conforming an inmate’s appearance to that of the opposite sex.” The left-wing Associated Press once described Lamberth as “among the toughest judges”

There are geopolitical benefits to President Trump and President Putin having a strategic alignment. However, the elements against them are massive, entrenched and highly Machiavellian.

Despite months of talks, both Russia and Ukraine appear to have barely shifted from their initial negotiation positions, with Moscow demanding huge concessions from Kyiv while calling their opponents “delusional” for not taking up the offer. The second attempt at face-to-face Russia-Ukraine talks on Monday ended much the same as the first, three weeks before, which concluded with little progress towards peace, but a prisoner-swap agreement was reached. The lead-up to this week’s talks had been dominated by speculation over what Russia’s demands would be, given that they had refused to publish them ahead of time, as Ukraine had done with theirs.

Senators Richard Blumenthal (U-DC) and Lindsey Graham (U-DC) have scheduled a delegation of Ukraine officials to come to the Senate tomorrow and help organize the pro-Ukraine narrative. The Senate is debating the anti-Russia sanctions package and key players are coordinating retention of the Ukraine payment system. According to Politico all 100 senators have been invited to the lobbying/narrative engineering meeting, and almost all of them are likely to attend. From obvious indications, including Blumenthal and Graham supporting the recent Ukraine attacks against strategic Russian airbases, it would appear the Senate is prepared to dispatch President Trump’s efforts to organize a ceasefire.

President Donald Trump on Thursday publicly acknowledged for the first time his deteriorating relationship with Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur who once held a high-level advisory role in his Administration, saying he was “very disappointed” in Musk’s recent turn against the President’s flagship tax-and-spending bill. “Elon and I had a great relationship. I don’t know if we will anymore,” Trump told reporters during an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. “I’m very disappointed in Elon. I’ve helped Elon a lot.” Trump’s remarks confirmed what had already been visible behind the scenes: a once-close alliance between two of the most powerful figures in the Republican Party is unraveling

A third Biden autopen was discovered on Thursday amid a federal investigation into “who ran the United States while Biden was in office.” House Oversight Chairman James Comer is also spearheading a congressional investigation into Biden’s health coverup. On Wednesday President Trump directed his White House Counsel, David Warrington, in consultation with Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate “whether certain individuals conspired to deceive the public about Biden’s mental state and unconstitutionally exercise the authorities and responsibilities of the President.”

Facing a federal investigation into his use of an autopen to sign executive actions, former President Joe Biden insists he was in control of the White House for the past four years. “I made the decisions about the pardons, executive orders, legislation, and proclamations. Any suggestion that I didn’t is ridiculous and false,” Biden said in a statement on Wednesday. President Donald Trump declared his predecessor’s last-minute pardons void early this year after the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project discovered the pardons were signed by a mechanical autopen rather than by the president’s own hand.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on Thursday ordered his aerospace company to immediately decommission its Dragon capsule, which NASA uses to service the International Space Station, amid a public feud with President Donald Trump. The cancellation is retaliation for Trump's proposal to end government contracts and subsidies it has with Musk's companies in order to balance the federal budget. The feud between the former allies escalated in the past 48 hours after Musk publicly slammed the president's "big, beautiful bill" as a "disgusting abomination" for its failure to address deficit spending. Musk first started the fight last week when leaving public service.

Who wins? My money’s on Elon.

On Thursday, Trump and Musk’s relationship quickly fell apart in a very public way. In an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the president told reporters
