For the first time this year, Mediazona and Meduza have updated the overall estimate of the actual number of Russia’s losses in its war against Ukraine. It is based on the Probate Registry and reflects the number of male Russian citizens aged 18 to 59 who died since the start of the full-scale invasion to the end of 2025: 352,000." https://x.com/RALee85/status/2053095512291885509?s=20
NEW: Israel built a clandestine military outpost in Iraq's western desert just before its air campaign against Iran — with U.S. knowledge — to house special forces and search-and-rescue teams supporting strikes 1,000 miles away.

In early March, an Iraqi shepherd reported unusual helicopter activity, and when Iraqi troops moved to investigate, Israeli airstrikes killed one soldier and wounded two others to keep the base hidden.

Iraq blamed the U.S. in a UN complaint, but Washington says it wasn't involved; the base was never officially discovered.

Outgoing Israeli Air Force chief Tomer Bar had hinted at the operations in a March letter referring to "special missions which could ignite the imagination."

Ukraine developed an autonomous AI turret that has proven to be highly effective against Russian fiberoptic drones which are immune to electronic warfare.

The system autonomously tracks targets and their trajectories. The operator presses a button to confirm engagement. https://x.com/igorsushko/status/2053143700096888855?s=20

Finland’s president, Alexander Stubb, now says “the tide has turned” and “we need Ukraine more than #Ukraine needs us.” Zelensky is no longer pleading for help on behalf of his people. Kyiv now offers the world weapons that work.

Trump took $59 million from 590,000 Americans for a phone that may never exist.

Then quietly updated the terms:

“No guarantee a phone will be produced or sold.”

The crypto coin. The sneakers. The Bible. The gold card. The ballroom. The phone.

Every single time the same pattern.

Take the money. Change the terms. Walk away. https://x.com/allenanalysis/status/2053321828722966699?s=20
One strike on an air traffic control facility in Rostov — and airports across southern Russia started shutting down

After the drone attack, disruptions hit 13 airports at once — from Sochi and Mineralnye Vody to Makhachkala and Vladikavkaz.

The Rostov center coordinated air traffic over a huge part of southern Russia. Once it went down, mass flight delays and cancellations spread across the region. https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/2053131880224964716?s=20
Belgium will transfer all of its 53 F-16 to Ukraine by the end of 2029. This was reported by Le Soir, citing a transfer plan drawn up by the Belgian Ministry of Defence.

The plan calls for the gradual transfer according to the following timeline:

>>achieve partial effects of battlefield air interdiction (BAI)

Ukraine will do more than just "partial." The Ukrainian drone production rate in this class of drone is growing by the week. The drone production numbers game is working against Russian logistics.

Can Tehran really count on Beijing’s full support?

Weapons are undoubtedly what Iran needs most.

There is, however, no concrete evidence that the Islamic Republic has actually received any from Beijing.

Putin’s most pathetic Victory Day Parade yet

The parade lasted just 45 minutes and featured no military vehicles whatsoever.

After Putin’s speech, viewers were instead shown a 7-minute propaganda video about new Russian military equipment.

This year’s parade had a drastically reduced marching column, only 12 parade units walked through Red Square, nearly three times fewer than in 2024.

North Korean soldiers marched across Red Square. The parade commentator claimed they had “liberated the Kursk region from neo-Nazi occupiers” and "showed mass heroism."

Kim Jong Un did not attend and only sent Putin a congratulatory postcard.

The stands were filled with the leaders of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Malaysia, and Laos.

After the parade ended, Putin hurriedly left Red Square. https://x.com/visegrad24/status/2053044818066948477?s=20

The Russian budget has been in the red for the fourth month in a row. The deficit from January to April was 5.9 trillion rubles, or 2.5% of GDP.

The full-year deficit was projected to be 3.786 trillion rubles, or 1.6% of GDP. In other words, the plan has already been exceeded many times over in just four months.

And this is despite rising oil prices. Even oil and gas revenues are no longer a saving grace. https://x.com/UkrReview/status/2052862327515492377

Tomahawks for Ukraine? Europe floats a trade: support the U.S. operation against Iran in exchange for weapons

According to The National Interest, European countries may try to secure deliveries of long-range Tomahawk missiles for Ukraine in exchange for joining a U.S.-led operation to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

The proposal involves potential participation by France, Germany, and the United Kingdom in a joint naval mission alongside the U.S. against Iran. In return, Europeans could push Washington for stronger military support to Kyiv.

Tomahawk missiles are among the longest-range cruise weapons in the U.S. arsenal. If Ukraine ever receives them, it would mark a major shift. https://x.com/i/status/2052735643499815108

Residents living within a half-mile of new AI data centers are reporting dizziness, nausea, vertigo, and sleep disruption from sound they can't hear.

The source is infrasound. Frequencies below 20 Hz sit beneath the floor of human hearing but not beneath human physiology. The body's vestibular system registers low-frequency vibration directly, triggering the same response as motion sickness. The cooling systems and gas turbines running these facilities 24/7 produce exactly this range.

Noise ordinances were written for audible noise. Decibel measurements start at 20 Hz. Infrasound doesn't appear. A 200-megawatt data center with tens of thousands of tons of cooling equipment can run around the clock with zero measurable noise violation under any existing zoning law in the country.

The developers know this.

They're not randomly selecting sites. Rural jurisdictions get targeted because they lack the legal staff, the engineering expertise, and the regulatory framework to mount any challenge. ...

More Leftie Than Thou
"Jacobin" Magazine Celebrates A Strike Against Ol' Blue Eyes

Here at "The Gaggle" we have very little time for the "more Leftie than thou" school of thought--that's the approach to life according to which the only thing that matters is whether you take the right position on every issue under the sun from Abortion to Zelensky. No one in the world meets the exacting standards of this school of thought; any Leftie leader anywhere is always selling out to the bankers and the capitalists. The perfect exemplar of this is the unreadable Jacobin magazine. 

The other day I came across this article from 2021. It's a celebration of trade union power. And not simply trade union power, but the use of trade union power to secure political goals. Of course (and this is always the case with the "more Leftie than thou" crowd), this glorious, never-to-be-forgotten moment on the history of organized labor took place many years ago--in the summer of 1974 to be exact. Yes, almost half a century has gone by since that thrilling moment when the working-class movement of Australia mobilized and prepared to seize the means of production, distribution and exchange. 

Well, not quite. Organized labor went into action against...Ol' Blue Eyes, the Chairman of the Board, the Voice; yes, Frank Sinatra. Why? What had Sinatra done? Sinatra was certainly very rich, and he owned a variety of properties and businesses. But if the Australian trade union movement were, understandably, searching for the bright, incandescent spark that would finally awaken the working class from its slumber there were surely richer, greedier, more dishonest, more decadent, above all more Australian individuals it could have discovered. Australia was never short of them. Rupert Murdoch immediately springs to mind. Why Sinatra?
