Russia's Medvedev said it "remains unclear" whose drone was involved in the Romania incident, but claimed EU countries have "no right to complain" because of their support for Ukraine.

He accused European leaders of responsibility for attacks inside Russia and warned that citizens of countries producing drones for Ukraine should not expect to "sleep peacefully," describing current developments as "only the beginning."

You pay for it in terms of autonomy.

Turkish Defense Minister Yaşar Güler:

Our rights and interests in the Aegean Sea, the Eastern Mediterranean, and Cyprus are based on historical, legal, and legitimate foundations.

In this framework, I want to emphasize once again that we do not accept maximalist initiatives aimed at creating faits accomplis that contradict the spirit of international agreements.

Activities aimed at militarizing islands that should remain under non-military status are incompatible with good neighborly relations, the spirit of alliance, and international law.

It must be clearly understood that we will never remain indifferent to any attempt targeting our sovereign rights, our security, and our legitimate rights and interests in our seas.

The Turkish Armed Forces, with their high operational capability, modern weapons systems, strong personnel structure, and field experience, possess the power and determination to eliminate every threat directed toward our country.

Likewise, our stance regarding the protection of the security, peace, and rights of our Turkish Cypriot brothers and sisters is clear.

Türkiye, just as always, today and tomorrow as well, will continue standing by our kin as a guarantor state and will continue protecting their security and rights.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus:

We have not remotely learned all the lessons we should have from the war in Ukraine.

That is the future of war right now. Ukraine is using 10,000 drones a day.

Ninety percent of the casualties on the Russian side are caused by drones. Tanks can’t manoeuvre anymore. They can’t survive. Armored vehicles can’t survive.

And by the way, there’s more coming. Within a year or two, we’re going to see unmanned systems that are not remotely piloted.

In the future, we’re going to see autonomous systems — truly autonomous — that do not require a pilot to remotely operate them.

Then you face drone swarms. And that is something for which we really don’t have a solution.

Israel is erasing entire villages in southern Lebanon from the map. Not just airstrikes, but forced expulsions & bombing.
 
They send in troops to lace buildings with explosives. Military bulldozer operators are paid per building destroyed.
 
Entire towns - streets, trees, history built over generations - gone.
 
The south is the agricultural heartland of Lebanon. Over one million people live there. But coverage focuses on Beirut.
 
Now that Beirut has been declared neutral, the ongoing daily massacres in the south - and the systematic destruction of the so-called buffer zone - are going largely unreported.

Trump:

Jill Biden is now out there finally admitting that she did NOT know what went wrong with Sleepy Joe during our spectacular, and highly rated, 2024 Presidential Debate, where Joe was not exactly performing to the highest level of debate standards.

She said that she thought he was having a “stroke,” and various other really bad things, and yet never rushed onto the stage to help her troubled husband, as any good wife would do. The only thing she failed to mention was how well I was doing prior to his near total collapse.

In other words, as many have asked, did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple “choke,” leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!

Three Russia-linked “shadow fleet” tankers were struck by Ukrainian sea drones last night near Kilyos — just 2–3 km from Türkiye’s coast.

Two drones hit Velora but failed to detonate; a third struck James II nearby.

Altura (previously hit in March) was also damaged. All crew evacuated safely.

The blasts were felt in Istanbul’s Rumelifeneri neighborhood.

A serious fire or oil spill could have threatened Istanbul and its airport.

Anduril Founder Palmer Luckey on China:

Can we outmanufacture them? No.

But we don't need to outmanufacture them to make a Taiwan invasion infeasible.

There's a world where they have a hundred times more ballistic missiles than us and we still have enough between us and our allies to deny them access to Taiwan.

If they take Taiwan, history and the words out of Xi Jinping's own mouth show they're immediately going to hop over to Okinawa, part of the Philippines, maybe part of Vietnam.

Xi Jinping is going out saying, 'I was in our national archives reading about the Ryuku Islands — 650 years ago they sent a gift to us, that means they're a tributary state.'

He's not saying this because he loves wandering the national archives.

They are constructing a national narrative that would allow them to convince their people to start with Taiwan and end with a lot of our Pacific allies.

Proposed reductions include fighter jets, strategic bombers, warships, submarines, drones, and aerial refueling aircraft.

Washington still intends to maintain nuclear deterrence in Europe, but wants Europeans to handle most conventional defense responsibilities.

The negotiations are proceeding in an orderly and constructive manner, and I have informed my representatives not to rush into a deal in that time is on our side.

The Blockade will remain in full force and effect until an agreement is reached, certified, and signed. Both sides must take their time and get it right. There can be no mistakes!

Our relationship with Iran is becoming a much more professional and productive one. They must understand, however, that they cannot develop or procure a Nuclear Weapon or Bomb.

I would like to thank, thus far, all of the countries of the Middle East for their support and cooperation, which will be further enhanced and strengthened by their joining the Nations of the historic Abraham Accords and, who knows, perhaps the Islamic Republic of Iran would like to join, as well!

UAE President MbZ’s Advisor Anwar Gargash:

We've grown accustomed to Iranian bullying over long decades until it became part of the political landscape in the Arabian Gulf, and credibility has been lost between aggressive rhetoric and hollow declarations of friendship.

And today, after the brutal Iranian aggression, the regime is trying to consecrate a new reality born from a clear military defeat, but attempts to control the Strait of Hormuz or encroach on the UAE's maritime sovereignty are nothing but fragments of dreams.

And whoever wants to coexist with its Arab surroundings must realize that trust is lost, and restoring it is not achieved through slogans, but through responsible language, safeguarding sovereignty, and genuine commitment to the principles of good neighborliness.
