The United States is rushing to move some diplomats and their families out of several Middle Eastern countries amid fears of a regional escalation.
State Department this week ordered non-emergency staff and all family members to leave Saudi Arabia following increased Houthi attacks on the kingdom, while quietly reducing staff at embassies in Jordan, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Lebanon without public announcements.Читать полностью…
Many of those leaving had only recently returned after being ordered out at the height of the Iran war, with one diplomat saying “to say it has been chaotic is an understatement” and a source in Amman describing a “very Groundhog Day vibe.”

Zelensky:
During this year of war, we have received dozens, perhaps a few hundred, missiles to defend our skies.Читать полностью…
Middle Eastern countries used about 2,000 in the first 48 hours of the war.
That doesn't mean we shouldn't support Middle Eastern allies. Of course we should support them, help them and defend them.
But everything has to be competitive.
NEW: China’s Moonshot AI has launched Kimi K3.1 Pro, an upgraded version of its 2.8-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model that it says rivals top U.S. systems on coding and agent tasks.
On the Terminal-Bench 4.0 agentic coding benchmark, Moonshot reports a score of 65.7%, ahead of OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra at 58.2% and just behind Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5.5 at 66.4%,.Читать полностью…
Independent evaluator Artificial Analysis measured it at 67%, the highest of any model it tested.
API pricing is set at $2 per million input tokens and $10 per million output tokens, a third lower than its predecessor and well below leading closed models.
Moonshot said it removed cyber-related training data from the open-weight release to limit misuse.
Zelensky:
Russia produces 140 ballistic missiles every month, and they already have 700 ballistic missiles in storage.Читать полностью…
Everybody talks about these missiles, but you can solve this problem.
About 70% of the components in each ballistic missile come from other countries — Asia, the United States and Europe.
You can stop it because these are your companies. Worldwide companies are selling these components to Russia.
Marco Rubio:
To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time.Читать полностью…
The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.
Zelensky:
Some countries think they need to keep their interceptors for themselves. They are ready to help Ukraine, but first they need to defend themselves.Читать полностью…
But that will not help if Ukraine falls, if Russia breaks our defensive lines.
Nobody can defend themselves alone against a country that is ready to do anything, that is ready to kill ordinary civilians with missiles and drones.
They already have an army of around 2 million. There is no European country with an army that strong. European armies are not ready for such a struggle.
Trump:
RFK Jr. is a Republican, and he's the most important Kennedy in the Kennedy family by far.
Trump:
I called Google, and I sent him a picture of the Atlantic Ocean. It's true.Читать полностью…
I said, "Sundar, I want to change the name of the Atlantic Ocean to American Ocean, and while you are at it, I want to change the name of the Strait of Hormuz to Trump Strait."
Sundar said, "Sir, I can't do it anymore. I've had it. I cannot do oceans, sir. I am not doing the damn Atlantic Ocean, okay?"
I said, "Sundar, I'm only kidding."
Trump:
I wonder if the family of Stephen Hubbard is going to vote for Trump.
Probably not. They will probably find a way to vote for somebody else. That's happened to me before.
Trump on Ukraine War:
We're close to ending, I hope, the Russia-Ukraine catastrophe.
I hope we're ending that.
Trump on Cuba:
We're going to come back from Iran. Those beautiful ships will pass Cuba. We'll have one of them stop about 50 yards off the coast.
They'll raise up their hands, and then we're going to send Marco Rubio in to finish up the deal.
Trump on Cuba:
Don't worry about Cuba. We will take care of Cuba on our way back from Iran.
Trump:
We ended 5 wars thanks to tariffs. I said, "If you continue to fight, we're going to put a 200% tariff on you," and they stopped.Читать полностью…
We should probably immediately do it with Ukraine and Russia. Never thought of it.
But we don't buy enough to do it to them, so it doesn't work.
Trump on Somalia:
Somalia is probably the worst country on Earth.
All they have is people that shoot you all the time.
Trump:
I have friends that get sued. They almost have a nervous breakdown. "Sir, I got sued. I don't know what to do."
I have hundreds. I don't give a shit about it.
Zelensky:
Sanctions work, but total sanctions.Читать полностью…
If you impose them, please don't lift them.
You speak about frozen assets, but there are other countries where Russia can still use its money.
Zelensky:
You can't just impose sanctions and then lift them because winter is difficult.Читать полностью…
You sanction oil but not gas, natural gas but not LNG, petrol but not diesel.
Then you sanction diesel and lift the sanctions. You sanction chemicals, then say it's difficult for farmers without fertilizers.
You freeze assets, then lift sanctions on parts of the banking system.
Zelensky:
We told our American partners: Switch on Starlink in those parts of Russia where they launch ballistic missiles.Читать полностью…
Why must we all be under attack? Why must all of Europe be afraid that Russian ballistic missiles will reach European territory?
Switch on Starlink. We will do it. We will handle it.
Of course, we will do it if Russia doesn't stop this war.
Switch it on. It's not difficult, really.
Zelensky:
We need a big, strong army for a minimum of 10 years.Читать полностью…
It is very expensive, but our country has been destroyed by massive attacks and our economy cannot function at 100% during wartime.
We need time for reconstruction and investment. That's why we need financial support from our partners.
Zelensky:
Some people think that if they speak very peacefully with the Russians, Russia will not attack.Читать полностью…
Of course, that's not true.
Russia will attack if they feel they can, if they feel you are weak, if they feel you can lift sanctions, give them money back and unfreeze their frozen assets.
Zelensky:
There are countries that are not ready to believe Russia is very dangerous for them.Читать полностью…
They understand that Russia is dangerous for Ukraine, for Western values and perhaps for the Baltic countries and Poland.
But they are not ready to believe that war can come to their own homes, their families, their countries or their cities — until it actually happens.
Trump:
Seriously, did anybody ever see the body of RFK Jr.?
He's got the body of a 30-year-old.
Trump:
It's called New Mexico, but it's not Mexico.
I want to change it to "New America."
Trump:
María gave me her Nobel Prize.
I won't forget.
Trump on Iran:
We may do another little Operation Epic Fury, or they will agree.Читать полностью…
If they're smart, they will just say, "Let's get down to business."
But I doubt they will do that because perhaps they're not smart.
Iran’s IRGC Navy says two oil tankers carrying over 4.5 million barrels of crude struck naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz.
Both vessels reportedly suffered explosions and fires, lost engine power, and were abandoned by their crews.Читать полностью…

Trump:
The Islamic Republic of Iran will tell you that we have the best military equipment.
Trump:
Tariffs made us rich. Take the tariffs off and watch every factory leave America.
Trump:
A healthy person has a thousand dreams. A sick person has only one (to get better)!
