Zelensky Says Peace Talks With Russia Delayed Over Dispute on Meeting Location
The president likened the complicated preparations for the next round of negotiations to a “Santa Barbara” soap opera as geopolitical tensions and logistical hurdles continue to complicate diplomacy.
#Zelensky just said #Ukraine could build Patriot missiles if the US hands over the license. He wants to supply 'em to #Europe and the Middle East too. Thing is, back in '22, the guy ...

Peter Hegseth again, this time normalising war crimes:
Hegseth: No quarter, no mercy for our enemies. Yet some in the press just can’t stop. More fake news from CNN reports that the Trump administration underestimated the Iran war’s impact on the strait of hormuz. The sooner David Ellison takes over that network, the better.
Some said he’s just used the term “no quarter” metaphorically but in English it seems to be a very specific term, not a catch all phrase. Senator Mark Kelly, a navy veteran himself, commented on this:
“No quarter” isn’t some wanna be tough guy line - it means something. An order to give no quarter would mean to take no prisoners and kill them instead. That would violate the law of armed conflict. It would be an illegal order. It would also put American service members at greater risk. Pete Hegseth should know better than to throw around terms like this.
There’s currently one country in the world that has normalised execution of prisoners of war out of desperation, but it didn’t help it much - it got hopelessly stuck in #Ukraine war anyway.
When bombs fall, keyboards follow. The #Handala attack on #Stryker — 200,000 systems claimed wiped, 50TB stolen, timed explicitly to the US-Israeli assault on Iran — is textbook retaliation hacktivist logic. But here's the thing nobody wants to say out loud: it barely matters whether the group is genuinely aggrieved civilians or a state front wearing a keffiyeh. The effect is identical. The deniability is the point.
Governments have learned that a "spontaneous" hacktivist campaign does more reputational work than an official cyberunit ever could — and when the targeting is this clean, "spontaneous" deserves serious scare quotes. We saw it with pro-Russian groups after #Ukraine. We saw it with pro-Palestinian groups after #Gaza. We're seeing it again now with #Iran. The pattern is consistent enough to be a doctrine at this point.
What makes it strategically interesting — and analytically treacherous — is the deliberate ambiguity it manufactures. A group claiming to represent bombed civilians carries far more narrative weight than one that's transparently state-linked. Attribution becomes a second-order problem: even if the group is genuinely independent, states benefit from the chaos and quietly let it run. Sometimes they seed it. Sometimes they just watch. The outcome for the victim is the same either way.
The targeting logic follows a reliable playbook too. Not purely military or intelligence targets — those carry too much legal and escalatory risk. Instead: corporations with visible ties to the aggressor country, ideally ones with symbolic weight or defense adjacency. #Stryker, with its $450M U.S. military contract and the same name as an Army armored carrier, checked every box. The selection wasn't random. It was a message dressed as an attack.
For defenders, none of this is new — but the tempo is accelerating. Geopolitical flashpoints are now predictable threat amplifiers with a measurable lag between event and campaign. Your company's government contracts, your country of incorporation, your defense-adjacent partnerships — these are part of your attack surface whether you've modelled them that way or not. The groups carrying the flag may be real, fake, or somewhere in the uncomfortable middle. It doesn't matter. The wiper doesn't care about the ideology behind it.
