🇮🇱🇱🇧 The IDF is having to get creative these days in the era of drone warfare. This netting is meant to disrupt, deflect, or detonate enemy drone threats, a low-tech alternative to electronic warfare systems. Hezbollah drones have been a major issue. t.co/5lQk2hNB6W

🇲🇱🇷🇺 The Islamic State was pushed out of Menaka, eastern Mali by the Africa Corps (successor to Russia’s Wagner Group) and the Malian army. In recent days, Mali’s capital was attacked, the defence minister assassinated, and the northern city of Kidal fell to rebels after Russian and Malian forces withdrew. Russia came to replace France as Mali's security guarantor, it just failed its biggest test. Source: @officialrnintel

🇮🇱🇱🇧 Israeli forces trashed a Christian family's home in southern Lebanon after using it as a military base. This is the same village where a soldier destroyed a statue of Jesus Christ and bulldozers demolished the solar panels powering the local water supply. The IDF chief said this week there are red lines that "must not be crossed." But once again, it looks like the troops didn't get the memo. Source: TRT World

🇯🇵 Japan Airlines is putting humanoid robots to work as baggage handlers at Haneda Airport starting next month. The Chinese-made robots are 130cm tall, run for 2-3 hours on a charge, and will be moving luggage and cargo on the tarmac. Maybe our suitcases will finally be treated with some respect.

WTF?!? This isn't the future I signed up for t.co/rxida7fFDA

🇩🇪 Giga Berlin just rolled its 1,000,000th drive unit off the line. The factory opened in March 2022, hit 500,000 units by late 2024, and doubled that in under a year. A drive unit combines the motor, gearbox, and power electronics into a single system. Every Tesla needs at least one and Berlin is now making them faster than almost anyone thought possible.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 5 of Russia's top 10 refineries are offline. Ukraine found the pressure point sanctions never could. The question now is whether Russia can repair faster than Ukraine can strike. t.co/Ky4px67mGh

🇫🇷 200 people were trained to re-enact ancient Greek hoplite battles so researchers could figure out what actually happened when one side broke and ran. Turns out the "victorious" formation didn't hold discipline. It completely fell apart into a chaotic but somehow coordinated chase the moment the enemy fled. Which is exactly what ancient historians described but nobody could explain. Experimental archaeology just cracked a 2,500-year-old mystery by getting 200 people to cosplay as Spartans. Science is awesome. Source: @yaqobhyndes, Sur le Champ

RECAP: Trump's decided the best way to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is by blockading it, so he's told aides to prepare for an extended operation. Meanwhile, Iran is claiming it can still sell oil and has enough missiles to go back to war for years. Netanyahu's hoping that's true, as his corruption trial desperately needs another reason for a delay. Apparently, trying to turn southern Lebanon into Gaza 2.0 isn't cutting it with the judge. All the time, Trump's stacking more hardware in the region, with 3 carrier groups now ready to light up Iran at the drop of a hat.

A man grabbed the bottom of a helicopter at a Kenyan wedding because they wouldn't let him on board. He got the nickname "Migori James Bond" and 18 months in prison for it. t.co/gKwAyS5j7A

DEAR LEBANON, DON’T LET THE WORLD PLUNGE YOU INTO CIVIL WAR

🇮🇱🇱🇧 A Times Square billboard is calling Hezbollah the only obstacle to peace between Israel and Lebanon. Peace, invasion: tomato, tomato t.co/vG9X9p40cc

Honestly guys, how can anyone watch this and justify it by blaming Hezbollah? It's one thing destroying a militia and their infrastructure, it's another destroying every single home and wiping out entire villages South Lebanon is becoming like Gaza t.co/jAFz5Htktc

🇺🇸 Rumor: Kai Cenat paid $500,000 for foot pics. Got a discount because he was going through a breakup. Julia Filippo, an OnlyFans creator, is now showing off the product. 2026 is really something. t.co/rppZgO8OfY

🇺🇸🇮🇷 For the first time since the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the U.S. has 3 aircraft carriers positioned in the Middle East simultaneously. The Lincoln in the Arabian Sea, the Ford in the Red Sea, and the Bush in the Indian Ocean. The Bush took a 10,000 km detour around the Cape of Good Hope to avoid Houthi missiles in the Red Sea, arriving with its strike group completely untouched. Together, the Lincoln and Ford operate on alternating 12-hour shifts, keeping strike fighters in the air 24 hours a day with no pause. For Iran, there is no safe hour. Why does America need this much firepower in one region right now? Source: AiTelly

🇺🇦 Ukraine is replacing soldiers with robots. Literally. In March alone: 9,000 robot missions carried out ammo delivery and wounded evacuations. Now they're ordering 25,000 more by mid-2026 with a goal of zero humans doing frontline logistics. Source: Zero Hedge t.co/r2aksSTzLA

Reading scores among American kids just hit a historic low. A generation raised on short-form content is showing up unable to read at grade level. Is there any way to reverse it? t.co/anmWHE5LWz

🇮🇱 🇱🇧 One city wiped out. Then another. And the West barely blinks. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis says Israel is staying just below the protest threshold on purpose, and it's working. "They may think this is working. This is building up insecurity for the people of Israel like nothing they have ever done in their lifetimes." The bill comes due. It always does. @DanielLDavis1

🇨🇳 A Chinese EV just broke Bugatti's all-time speed record. 308 mph on a battery. The Chiron held that record for 6 years with a 1,600 hp W16 and BYD cleared it with 4 electric motors. The crown is Chinese now. t.co/J3lmL1cuvV

🇺🇸 The damage to U.S bases in the Gulf is severe, but the bigger problem is what it proved. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis has been warning about this for years. "All they do is just provide an easy target for our potential adversaries to attack, and now it's manifested itself." Host nations may not even want us back. @DanielLDavis1

🇺🇸 The U.S. Navy is considering having warships built in Japanese and Korean shipyards, for the first time since the 1880s. The White House's message to domestic builders was blunt: deliver on time and on budget, or we'll go elsewhere.

🇺🇸 One fight with Iran exposed a vulnerability decades in the making. Ret. Lt. Col. Daniel Davis has been waving this warning flag for years. "It would be insane. It'd be suicidal to go to fight China over Taiwan because China has foreseen this." We may recognize the problem. That doesn't mean we can fix it. @DanielLDavis1
