🔴 About the upcoming #NATO Steadfast Noon nuclear exercise
These are really, although routine, but very secret exercises, the essence of which is to work out the use of American B-61 nuclear bombs located in European storage facilities.
🇺🇸🇪🇺🇩🇪🇧🇪🇳🇱🇮🇹🇹🇷 According to the Institute for Peace Research and Security Policy at the University of Hamburg (ISFH), the #US has an arsenal of 100 variable-yield B61-3 nuclear bombs at bases in Europe and Turkey 0.3, 1.5, 60 or 170 kilotons and B61-4 with variable yield of 0.3, 1.5, 10 or 45 kilotons are located in underground warehouses at military bases in #Germany, #Belgium, the #Netherlands, #Italy and #Turkey.
Air bombs can be used by F-35, Tornado and F/A-18 tactical fighter-bombers
At the same time, reconnaissance flights, cover, air defense and electronic warfare penetration are also usually practiced, sometimes (rarely) B-52s or Lancers are also used, which receive a training coded order for an electronic salvo

Reporter asks: "Mr. President, can you tell us what you know about the explosion in Poland?"
Biden answers: "No."
Biden says "preliminary" information suggests it is "unlikely" missile that killed two in Poland was fired from Russia, as it has a different trajectory.
In other words, the Russian missile was fired from the territory of 🇧🇾#Belarus.
That's all.
The incident is settled, #NATO "expresses deep concern" and can safely go the fuck after the UN 🙃

#US vs #IRAN
"Mission Impossible"
🌎 The world is tired of Trump's endless wars and his chronic lying.
The US President increasingly resembles an old, physically and mentally ill man who is being manipulated by intimidation and pandering.
🇺🇸 Axios: Trump has signaled 12 times in recent weeks that the war with Iran is about to end. And every time, the market believed it.
🔴 💸 📈 The cost of the US military operation against Iran has exceeded $35 billion
📈 🛢 Brent — $119 per barrel
Gas prices in the US reached $4 per gallon — the highest since 2022
📉 Amid the sharp price surge due to the war, Trump’s net approval rating fell to -17%; only 36% approve of his actions
Only Nixon’s was worse — 24% during the Watergate scandal
🇺🇸 ❌🇺🇸 Over the weekend, a third wave of multi-million "No Kings" protests against Trump swept across the US, with at least 8 million people participating
➡️ Several AH-64D Apache attack helicopters from the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade flew at low altitude over protesters in Clarksville, Tennessee — WP video.
🤡 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed a bill to rename Palm Beach International Airport to Trump International Airport — Reuters, NBC
⚡️ Republicans are considering cutting federal healthcare spending to fund a bill that includes $200 billion for the war with Iran — Axios
🇺🇸 Trump once again confirmed he is nut by posting his 1987 interview in which he calls for the US to seize Iran's oil facilities
🪖💰 Hegseth tried to invest millions of dollars in a defense-oriented ETF from BlackRock shortly before the attack on Iran — FT
The deal fell through: the ETF was not available to Morgan Stanley clients at the time.
🔴 🚀📉 Air defense missile stocks in Gulf countries are running out — Bloomberg
In one month of war, at least 2,400 Patriot PAC-3 and GEM-T missiles out of 2,800 have been expended
Lockheed Martin produces about 650 PAC-3s per year
🇪🇸 🇨🇭 🇮🇹 🇫🇷 #Spain — following #Switzerland, #Italy, and #France — has closed its airspace to US aircraft involved in the war with Iran and banned the use of airbases in Rota and Morón for refueling — El País
Washington was forced to abandon the deployment of B-52 and B-1 bombers at the Morón base
🇮🇹 #Italy has banned the US military from using the Sigonella base in Sicily — Corriere della Sera
🇵🇱 The Pentagon asked Poland to share one Patriot system to protect US military bases in the Middle East
The Polish Defense Minister told the Americans to fuck off
🇬🇧 Starmer:
🇩🇪 Merz:
🇮🇷 Iran's parliament passed a bill imposing duties of $2 million on vessels passing through Hormuz.
⚡️ Bessent:
❗️ Trump is ready to end the war against Iran even without opening Hormuz — WSJ
• However, Trump didn't rule out that the US would attempt to seize Kharg — FT
• Trump is weighing the possibility of a military operation to remove enriched uranium stockpiles — WSJ
➡️ Professor Robert Pape (CPOST):
‼️ Erik Prince:
➡️ Former head of the British Army General Lord Dannatt advised Trump to "declare victory" and wind down the war.
🇮🇱 Netanyahu:

The Polish Defense Minister told the Americans to fuck off
The war in Iran is not our war; we aren't going to get dragged in.
If the war with Iran escalates into a major regional conflict, it will become an even greater burden for Europe, as heavy as the COVID pandemic or the start of the war in Ukraine
The US will take control of the Strait of Hormuz and provide shipping security on its own.
• However, Trump didn't rule out that the US would attempt to seize Kharg — FT
• Trump is weighing the possibility of a military operation to remove enriched uranium stockpiles — WSJ
We’re heading to stage three of the trap — ground operations
Seizing Kharg Island is a rather risky venture, as transport planes will have to shuttle back and forth. And that's assuming you don't immediately suffer losses due to equipment failure and AD fire. Dropping the 82nd Airborne on Kharg? Adventurism
This operation wasn't coordinated with the Americans. This decision was made by the Israelis.
Donald Trump, if he’s honest with himself, has to admit he’s bitten off something pretty big — more than he can chew.
All military decisions, including those regarding the Hormuz, are led by the United States.
