THE PENTAGON’S DRONE PLAN: DOMINATION OR DELUSION?
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has directed the US military to leapfrog ahead its adversaries — including Russia — and establish "drone dominance" by 2027.
But the US peacetime culture that drives military procurement and operations is no match for the real-world laboratory of the Ukrainian battlefield that has put Russia in the ascendancy when it comes to modern drone warfare.

THE POLITICS OF FREE SPEECH
Free speech is the foundation upon which the rights and privileges of US citizenship are based. Simply put, without the inherent right of free speech, there could not be a Constitutional Republic known as the United States of America. Free speech is also a respected right, spelled out in the Russian Constitution and relevant laws, in the Russian Federation. And yet the politics of free speech are such that the core values which free speech is designed to uphold—individual liberty for the US, and national integrity for Russia—mean that the concept of free speech is pursued differently in both nations.

The US imported more than $3 billion worth of Russian goods in 2024.
That pays for around 660 T-90 tanks.
That’s enough to equip two Russian armored divisions.
Think about that the next time Trump lectures India.

TRUMP AND MEDVEDEV’S DANGEROUS EXCHANGE OF WORDS
As the rhetoric heats up, we must remain cognizant of the consequences.
The sharp exchange of words between President Trump and former President Medvedev underscores just how dangerous the deteriorating relations between the US and Russia have become.
The threats being promulgated are not idle ones.
President Trump has become enthralled with the Israeli “Nasrallah” solution—leadership decapitation and middle management disruption designed to bring about the rapid collapse of a government/system.
It was tried—and failed—in Iran.
But Trump is being advised by Russophobes who believe that the US can successfully implement such a plan against Russia.
This plan begins with sanctions, as all such plans do.
It ends with a decapitation strike on Moscow.
Trump’s imagined conversation with Putin, where he threatened to “bomb the sh*t out of Moscow”, is indicative of the President’s thinking in this regard.
The preferred decapitation strike is done using B-52 bombers launching cruise missiles, accompanied by Trident missiles launched from Ohio-class submarines operating off the coast of Russia, allowing for a flatter trajectory flight and shorter flight time.
Medvedev’s comment about the “Dead Hand” indicates that Russia is well aware of Trump’s plans.
The “Dead Hand”, or Perimeter system, is a long-standing fail-safe mechanism/plan which guarantees a full-scale nuclear retaliation in case any nation is foolish enough to try a decapitation strike.
It dates back to Soviet times, when a special regiment of SS-20 missiles was equipped with radio transmission devices instead of warheads. These missiles would be launched, broadcasting launch codes that would send all strategic nuclear force weapons to their targets, even if Moscow was taken out.
This wasn’t theoretical—in my book Disarmament in the Time of Perestroika, I write about how the Soviets transitioned this capability to the SS-25 system once the SS-20 was eliminated under the INF treaty.
Today this mission is being handled by special regiment of SS-27 missiles.
There are other components of the “Dead Hand”.
Medvedev’s mentioning of it is a not-to-gentle reminder to Trump and his planners that it is suicide to think of a preemptive decapitation strike against Russia.
Hopefully this message gets through.
Otherwise, the “Walking Dead” allusion made by Medvedev will be the future of the United States and the world.

Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service has published a report on a secret meeting between US and UK representatives with top Ukrainian officials to discuss the prospects for replacing Volodymyr Zelensky.
If this turns out to be information that can be confirmed, this is damning, extraordinarily damning to Zelensky, to [presidential office head] Yermak, to [ambassador to the UK] Zaluzhny, to the United States, to Great Britain, to all of Ukraine.
