Disarming Iran

6/3/25 Rasmussen Reports:
"While many of President Donald Trump’s initiatives have been controversial, his vow to stop Iran from developing nuclear weapons is supported by a landslide majority of voters.

"The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 84% of Likely U.S. Voters agree Iran must “never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon” – as Trump has repeatedly warned – including 63% who Strongly Agree. Just nine percent (9%) disagree. (To see survey question wording, click here.)"

Odd.  You hear your nation called, "The Great Satan" for a couple generations and it makes you nervous.  Who would have guessed?  The 9%?  I had no idea that many Americans were Ivy League.  Or doea that include the Obama and Biden officials who threw hundreds of billions of dollars into our most vvociferous, least mentally stable, and most misogynistic enemy?

What a Scam

I have no idea who Dexerto is, so take with a grain of salt:
"A $1.5 billion AI company backed by Microsoft has shuttered after its ‘neural network’ was discovered to actually be hundreds of computer engineers based in India."

Once This War is Over, NATO Needs Ukraine

My, they are effective.   Imagine with the full technical resources and money of NATO behind them. 

UPDATE: A reader says a comment on YouTube says this is from a video game.  This might explain some discrepancies.

Video of Drone Attack

Amazing video.  I hope the U.S. has all of its planes in hangars.   A surprise attack from nearby locations could be devastating.  They got some planes in the air when the attack started but the cost to Russia is huge.  Some Russian generals may not be going home.

"Unified Grassroots recently launched a petition to hold a sovereignty referendum that has garnered more than 4,000 signatures. For the petition to be successful, it must generate the signatures of around 125,000 adult residents.

“I’m not going to be condemning individuals that are having discussions about the future of their province and the future of our nation,” Moe said on Tuesday in Saskatoon."

Ukraine is Not Out By Any Means

6/1/25 NPR:
"The operation saw drones transported in containers carried by trucks deep into Russian territory, he said. The drones hit airfields including the Belaya air base in Russia's Irkutsk region, more than 4,000 kilometers (2,500 miles) from Ukraine. It is the first time that a Ukrainian drone has been seen in the region, local Gov. Igor Kobzeva said, stressing that it did not present a threat to civilians."

This should be a sobering reminder that Russia is far weaker than its apologists will admit.  It is also an encouraging reminder that in a war with NATO, Russia might lose much of its strategic capacity before it could be used.  By some accounts,  one of the attacks was at their nuclear submarine base.  I suspect this was a joint naval/air force base.  Ukraine is safe from submarine attack.

This may also be a hint to Russia that they better make peace soon, before Ukraine does something serious.

Predictable results: "Russia-Ukraine Talks Yield Prisoner Swap Agreement."

UPDATE: A reader noted a couple things that I saw and failed to consider.  The drones are brightly illuminated (this does seem to be infared) and they are falling more like rockets than quadcopters.  Does NATO have anything that fits that model?

New videos are slow enough and horizontal enough that they must be quadcopters not rockets.
