While the world continues to pay attention to the Hormuz Strait and China - the biggest war in Europe since WW2 continues. The night from May 21 to 22, the Ukrainian forces apparently used drones to hit the classroom building and the dormitory at the Starobilsk Pedagogical College in the so-called Luhansk People's Republic - one of two "rebel provinces" that joined Russia right before the Ukrainian war started.
During the Ukrainian drone strike, 86 students aged 14 to 18 were in the buildings. At least 35 of them were injured. 2 students have already been rescued from the rubble - the rescuers are continuing their work. Parents are searching for their kids via the local mass media channels.
Aside from the college, local administrative buildings, shops, and private homes were also damaged during the night attack. 1 local man was injured. The chaotic nature of this event suggests that someone in the Ukrainian high command got desperate for an internal PR victory.

War. War never changes.
The summer of 2026 is here. The newest Sand War is still going on, despite the wishes of the world's economy, common sense, and the civilians of the Gulf States - with a possible exception of Iran since at the very start of the Sand War, the Judeo-Christian forces made sure the Iranian commoners will be motivated to fight to the victory. They did that by bombing Iranian civilian buildings, schools for little girls included, with their overwhelming air superiority. Suppose the Judeo-Christian forces believe that Iran is one large Gaza Strip and the usual methods could be applied to Iran.
Speaking about the "Judeo-Christian" part - apparently the US government considers an option to merge the US forces with the IDF. Given the cult status of the state of Israel among the US officials - and especially the Evangelicals - I expect this to happen within this summer. Even the Idiocracy movie couldn't predict this outcome. What a time to be alive.

Missile rain in Ukraine
The biggest war in Europe since WW2 continues. Recently, on the night of May 21–22, Ukraine targeted - accidentally or not, it doesn't matter - a vocational school and dormitory complex in the Russian-controlled city of Starobilsk, in the LPR. 86 students aged 14 to 18 were inside the building when the event happened. Some of them died. Russia swore a revenge. Ukraine didn't believe Russia.
Russia did really launch a massive, coordinated overnight missile and drone attack across Ukraine on June 1st, killing at least 22 civilians and injuring 145 others. The footage of burning Ukrainian city of Kyiv/Kiev was nearly everywhere. Ukrainians had to hide in the Soviet-built metro stations.
And the result? Zelensky greenlighted new drone and missile attacks on Russia. Which will result in an another Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian school. Which will result in more Russian missiles falling on Ukraine's cities.
I think Zelensky wants to kill all Ukrainians.

An another day in the Strait of Hormuz
The negotiations between Iran and the Judeo-Christian (tm) alliance went nowhere, so the missiles started flying again. It is pointless to list all the places that were hit - it'd be easier to name the areas that weren't attacked by either side by now.
Before this new surge of military activity, Iran declared that no ships can pass the Strait of Hormuz - with or without paying Iran. The crews of cargo ships and the tankers, already used to minimal traffic of no more than 30 ships per day - in both directions - are forced right now to just drop the anchors, and wait. Wait until the current firework is over. Wait until the missiles and drones and jets stop flying above their heads. They wait, and wait, and so does the world's economy. Factories are still stalling without the raw resources, trucks can't move as much due to the lack of fuel, etc etc.
And all of this was started to cover the Epstein scandal. And because Bibi told Trump to do it.

Cancelled vacation
The biggest war in Europe since World War Two continues. It is dragging for 4 years by now, and the civilians keep suffering.
The most recent attack took place in the Russian region of Bryansk - located exactly at the cross-road between Belarus, Ukraine, and Russia itself.
Russia officially reports that a civilian bus carrying 28 children from a Belarusian youth sports team and 16 adults escorting them to the destination point. The bus was hit by a Ukrainian FPV drone, which led to the death of the wife of the football trainer that was escorting the Belarusian children en-route to the Russian city of Gelendzhik near the Black Sea, for their summer vacation.
Ukraine has officially declared that this whole event is a fake news fabricated by Russia. All Russia needs to do now is to show the wounded kids as the living proof.
This cycle of "revenge for the revenge" keeps going on for a while by now. Until Ukraine admits the defeat - it will keep happening.

I am willing to give Donald Trump a benefit of the doubt this one time, based on my guess that he is dumb enough to trust Bibi in the first place.
I think he was led to believe that he can win the war with Iran. Trump said around a year ago that he wants to do good deeds, and go to Heaven. If he really meant that - then he was opened for a manipulation.
Now, Bibi. Israel vs Persia. The whole "Purim" thing those Israelis are so obsessed about. Bibi tricked Trump into a war vs Iran. Israel more or less tells Pentagon what to do. But suddenly - Trump remembers that he is a politician, and he must be loved by his voters.
Trump agrees on peace. Both he and Iran win. Except for Bibi. And what does he do? He keeps attacking Lebanon, knowing that it will cancel the peace, and it will drag the USA back into the war vs Iran.
They are obsessed with Purim. They just can't stop themselves. Even if the world has to burn. And Trump will be blamed for it.

Cocaine is a helluva drug
The richest beggar in the world keeps his gig going, at the cost of his sanity and other people's lives.
Zelensky once promised a peaceful coexistence with Russia. He is currently busy doing lines and pulling one PR stunt after another. Somehow he keeps his job, and his cuts from the "military aid" to Ukraine.
$174 billion of such aid later - and the result is a prolonged attrition warfare against a country that excels at attrition warfare.
The recent Ukrainian drone strikes in Russia look impressive. Just like the first Storm Shadow strikes against Russia were successful. And Javelins. And FPV drones, all other such successes. They all looked nice on camera. And then Russia adapted - implemented a set of counter-measures.
The biggest war in Europe since WW2 is still on going. Zelensky, the cocaine-fueled "king-jester of Ukraine", will keep sending Ukrainians to die, because surely Russia will be defeated any moment now.
This is all so tiresome.

Russo-Ukrainian war continues
As I assumed, the recent successful Ukrainian attack on Moscow - mostly on the oil and gas facilities - has resulted in Russian retaliations.
It started on July 2 - with Russia throwing missiles at Sumy, Kiev\Kyiv, and other parts of Ukraine. July 3 wasn't quiet either. The activity was low on July 4 and 5, but bombs and missiles were still used against Ukraine. On July 6 the attacks continued in a large scale - most of the damage was in Kiev\Kiyv. Ukraine is still counting the dead and wounded.
One would assume that the Ukrainian government would get the hint, and surrender. Instead Zelensky demanded more weapons at the currently ongoing NATO summit in Ankara.
The NATO promised more weapons, which Ukraine will use soon against Russia, and in return the Russian missiles will turn more Ukrainian buildings into dust. Together with Ukrainians that were at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

The Ukrainian mobilization and the corrupted recruiters
The recruiters of the Zakarpattia added 276 non-existent soldiers in 3 months to the ranks of the AFU. 600 ghosts were recruited in the Chernivtsi region - both via the "Obereg" registry.
If a real Ukrainian doesn't want to serve - he can be removed from the registry for $10k~17k.
The price for traveling abroad without military registration was around $10k, while in Kyiv/Kiev it's $15k. The full price to dodge the draft is up to $30k.
The AFU recruiters earn about $3 billion from such deals. Large Ukrainian businesses pay up to $3 million a day to protect their male employees.
The AFU are doing searches at the shopping center as part of an operation "Honest Call" - if someone can't be found on the street, they can be listed in a registry. If they can be found, they can be removed from the lists - for a price.
While this Eastern European nonsense looks funny - men of the EU should notice, and prepare for the same fate.

Fun week in Ukraine
Seems like Russia decided to go full Dust Front on Ukraine, after 4 years of a "boring" war in which nothing ever happens (except occasionally).
There is an on-going massive Russian missile and drone rain against Ukraine. Kyiv\Kiev and major regional centers are under sustained attack for the 6th day in a row.
Ukrainian authorities described the nighttime offensive as one of the most intensive drone\missile attacks of the war.
218 large drones and decoys were used, plus ballistic, cruise, and anti-radar missiles.
The precision-guided weapons included Iskander-M, KN-23, and - supposedly - S-400 ballistic missiles in "surface-to-surface" mode, Tsirkon anti-ship missiles, Kalibr cruise missiles, and Kh-31P anti-radar missiles. Russia perhaps threw the whole kitchen sink at Ukraine.
As always, Ukraine insists that most of the drones and missiles were shot down. The footage says otherwise. The biggest war in Europe since WW2 continues.

The Sand War continues.
The 6-month-long war between the USA and Iran has intensified over the past 48 hours.
The CENTCOM broke a month-long lull by launching "self-defense strikes" against missile launchers and naval assets on Larak Island and coastal towns.
Iran launched missiles and drones at the US military bases in the Middle East - in Jordan, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Iraq.
Long story short - the Sand War is at a hot phase again. Brent is $95 per barrel. Trump is making loud statements about a total annihilation of Iran again, and Iran refuses to negotiate at all.
Meanwhile the Strait of Hormuz remains closed, and the sailors stuck in there are probably experts of the Middle Eastern politics by now, given how much time they had to study how it works over there.
The new active phase of hostilities will ensure the prices will remain high. How joyous.

The Sand War continues. The current escalation began after Iran launched 2 ballistic missile attacks against US Navy ships in the region over the course of 2 days. The US ships managed to - supposedly - dodge the missiles, and fire back - at the Iranian oil tankers.
5 Iran-linked crude oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman and near Kharg Island got hit. Namely: Kivik, Charminar, Horizon 1, Riesco, and Derya. It reduced the Iran's ability to sell oil, somewhat.
In response, Iran threatened to enforce a strict shipping exclusion zone. Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to 10 commercial ships per day.
Iran fired missiles at a key airbase in Jordan, used by the USA. Several missiles hit the targets. An A-10 lost a wing, and 8 F-15E were damaged as well.
Brent crude oil prices went over $100-per-barrel. Average gasoline prices in the US have surged to $4.22 per gallon - other regions of the planet suffer as well.
One can only hope this Sand War will end soon.

Dream vs Reality
Ever since Ukraine ran out of the legacy Fulcrums and Flankers - NATO have started sending F-16s to Ukraine. Officially it was presented as a yet another game changer that will splash any Russian jet in the Ukrainian sky. Officially.
In reality Ukraine received old European second-hand F-16s, which initially lacked the means to use Ukrainian missiles. And Ukraine has only a few dozen pilots capable of flying these "new" jets since the Ukrainian airmen only know how to fly Soviet planes.
Fast forward to this day. Ukraine has fewer than 39 of them by now, due to the loss of 5 F-16s to Russian missiles or technical malfunctions. Ukraine can't lose the remaining F-16s to the Russian airforce, so the pilots of the F-16s are stuck in the drone hunting duty. If the sortie conditions are perfect - they can use onboard autocannons. If not - they have to lob expensive missiles at cheap drones.
And every time the jets take off - their remaining short lifespans get shorter.

Flying radars made from civilian airliners
Ukraine has 2 Swedish ASC 890 airborne early warning and control aircraft made in the 90s. Both planes can't be in the air at once - one must be checked somewhere in Poland while the other is flying in 8-shaped patterns in order to see the Russian missiles, drones, and sometimes jets.
On paper - Ukraine has their own "eyes in the sky". Before 2025, Ukraine could only use the intel gathered by the NATO drones and E-3s flying above Poland and the Black Sea.
Both planes have 6 Ukrainian airmen that were hastily trained in Sweden to remain in a constant military grade zoom calls with the Saab's technicians, push the buttons as told, and try to not crash these two old Swedish planes. Sweden only donated those 2 old ASC 890s because Sweden has much better planes for itself - and Sweden doesn't plan to send them to Ukraine.
The effectiveness of these planes is mediocre, but they are the best Ukraine was given for this war.

Russia solidifies its hold onto the 4 new regions
Apparently 4 years ago, on September 23, 2022, referendums on joining Russia took place in the DPR, LPR, and parts of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. Voting continued until September 27, and on September 30 treaties were signed to fully incorporate the 4 regions into Russia.
Russia had to do a lot of repairing. Residential buildings, schools, hospitals, roads, bridges, utility facilities - all the destruction from the war must be fixed. Russia recently bragged that it fixed 1,500 various buildings in total, plus 200 should be repaired before 2026 ends.
Russia tries to win the hearts and minds of the locals with honest restoration efforts, but the biggest war in Europe since WW2 is still going on. The destructions might happen again.
Even if Russia can fully secure and protect those 4 regions - unless the war is fully over I doubt those regions will be populated as much as they were before 2022.

Nuclear desperation
Russia's govt believes that Ukraine wants to destroy the nuclear power plant in the Zaporojye region - currently under control of Russia - to use the following meltdown as a reason to accuse Russia of being incompetent when it comes to the nuclear energy matters. The long time loss of territories in Zaporojye region to the radiation is, apparently, a price Ukraine is willing to pay. Russia implies that the Western backers push this idea on Ukraine.
Russia reported that the nuclear power plant is under constant attacks from Ukraine. From the start of 2025 till this September, Ukraine did 18 multi-wave attacks, including 37 drone attacks, on the nuclear power station, the station's transport vehicles, staff, guards, and the infrastructure facilities nearby. 7 Russian staff members and servicemen were killed in such attacks in 2026.
While this sounds like nonsense - one ought to remember that Ukraine's govt is fighting for its survival. No methods are off the limits.

Ukrainian F-16s are mostly grounded
50%+ of the F-16s given to Ukraine are grounded. Ukraine now has more trained pilots than combat-ready aircraft.
The problem is simple: after every 300 flight hours, F-16s need phase inspections. The US contracted the Belgian company Sabena Aerospace Engineering to do this work under a $235.5 million program. Inspections usually take 2 to 5 weeks in the USA, and up to 40 weeks in Belgium.
Due to the shortage of new factory-made components, Ukraine has been forced to resort to cannibalizing the jets. Belgium pledged to transfer 7 F-16s in 2026, and 4 of them were designated as non-flying donor aircraft; they are being stripped for parts to keep the remaining 3 jets airworthy. By now Ukraine has around 5 F-16s that can fly sorties.
The second problem with F-16s is the ammo. It takes 150 rounds of 20mm shells to hit a drone. Ukraine needs 10,000 shells per day. Ukraine simply doesn't have them, and it affects the effectiveness of F-16s.

Belgium pledged to transfer 7 F-16s in 2026, and 4 of them were designated as non-flying donor aircraft; they are being stripped for parts to keep the remaining 3 jets airworthy. By now Ukraine has around 5 F-16s that can fly sorties.
The second problem with F-16s is the ammo. It takes 150 rounds of 20mm shells to hit a drone. Ukraine needs 10,000 shells per day. Ukraine simply doesn't have them, and it affects the effectiveness of F-16s.

3 US CVs near the Strait of Hormuz, soon
The USA is sending the 3rd CV to the Middle East, bringing the total number of CVs to 3 by the end of November 2026. The U.S. Navy’s presence in the region will be thus represented by:
USS Theodore Roosevelt has departed its home port of San Diego and is currently en-route to the Middle East. It is sailing alongside the Makin Island Amphibious Ready Group. It will bring more jets and 2000 Marines.
USS George Washington has arrived in the region in mid-August to relieve the USS Abraham Lincoln, which had been on an extended deployment.
USS George H.W. Bush is already deployed and actively operating in the Arabian Sea.
The CVs are operating in close proximity to the Strait of Hormuz for a while by now. To be exact, they are located in the Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, not too far from Iran, but far enough from Iranian coast. Their official job is to intercept the Iranian missiles and drones, and protect the civilian ships.

The Sand War continues.
The quick war against Iran made the Brent crude solidify at $100 per barrel, remaining roughly 30% above pre-war figures - before the whole Operation Epstein Fury began.
The oil is expensive due to the near-total halt of commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz - despite repeated statements from Donald Trump that everything is open.
Iran's counter-actions made the traffic slow, and Iran's own oil exports went from 1.7 million to 100,000 barrels per day - which makes the prices higher.
Meanwhile Donald Trump ignores the main reason of the current fuel prices, and blames the blue states and Ukraine.
I wish this Sand War would end already - if the waterway remains closed, the prices on everything will only get higher.

The Gerans.
2026 will end soon, unlike the biggest war in Europe since WW2. This time I checked the Gerans:
Geran-1 were cheap, slow, fragile, and lightweight. 15kg of explosives is barely enough to break an APC. Attacking a trench with Geran-1s is more or less useless.
Geran-2 - the meme dorito drones are so slow and loud that half of them never reached the targets. 50kg of explosives is enough to cripple a normal building, or a fortified field position. ~$30.000 per drone.
Geran-3 was a failed experiment. Fast but made from foam. The project was a lesson to Russia.
Geran-4 are made sturdy enough to fly at 500 km\h. These days they successfully ram into important targets, and special warheads make sure the targets get damaged hard. ~$90.000 per drone.
Geran-5 are cheap cruise missiles. Russia reinvented cruise missiles with drone components for ~$110.000 per unit. Very cheap by missile standards.
The Gerans have changed quite a bit. Geran-6 when?
