So presumably just carry on wasting munitions on a strategy that has already been proven not to work.

Trump has set aside plans for a major escalation in Iran, at least in the short term, after Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen Dan Caine privately warned it could deplete US air defence supplies in the Middle East to dangerous levels, the NYT reports.

US military commanders are deliberately letting some Iranian missiles and drones through their air defences to conserve dwindling interceptor stocks, NBC reports. They’re only engaging threats headed for US troops, accepting hits on runways, radars, and fuel depots.

Zelenskyy: “Russia wants to receive another 30,000 soldiers from North Korea. Preparations are already underway in the Voronezh region to receive them starting in June. North Korea is also preparing to transfer new launch platforms for ballistic missiles to Russia.”

Hungary’s parliament has voted to impose an eight-year term limit on prime ministers. That’s a block for Orbán returning - he’s already served 20 years. The measure was pushed by Prime Minister Péter Magyar and now awaits presidential approval.

There are many takeaways from this, but it does show how one monster at the top can destroy a country’s global standing in a very short time, possibly for generations. RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4llrhdclvdlmmynkwsmg5tdc/post/3mrfijtdkmq2u

Musk was humiliated in his interview with The Economist editor Zanny Minton Beddoes. She called him out on his bullshit, pointed out his lies and ignorance and extreme prejudice. We need more interviews like that. This is the response of the world’s thinnest-skinned man.

Trump has been pumping out AI slop for hours to fill the void where his foreign policy should be. A panic response now the military has told him he’ll run munitions stockpiles down to dangerous levels if he does a major strike on Iran. That leaves him out of options.

TwitterX has suspended the account of Iran’s Tasnim news agency which has provided information from the heart of the Iranian regime, particularly about recent Pentagon coverups. Musk is still posting though.
