The Trump administration indicated U.S. troops could be deployed to provide security in connection with the minerals if there's a peace deal with Russia, sources told NBC News.

One side looks alpha and the other looks like a bunch of cucks hoping their wife lets them watch the next group activity.
I’m glad to see we at least still feel shame.

In Ukrainian Nikolaev, a woman blew herself up and 2 TCC groups near minibuses.
A woman with a shopping bag approached the group, and a powerful explosion thundered. One of the soldiers was killed, another 6 were wounded and are in serious condition. The woman died - allegedly she was taking revenge for her mobilized and killed son.

The contract was real, but the Orwellian phrase Musk seized on to suggest a shadowy conspiracy wasn’t what it seems. A slightly closer look would have revealed that the contract, signed during President Donald Trump’s first term, was for help defending against cyberattacks — that is, combating deception, not fueling it. And it went to a separate division of the company, not the news agency.
You'll keep screaming about it here for the next 3 years, though...

great. The only reason we stopped having world wars is because Europe finally stopped starting them because they had no military.
Or relatively weak ones completely led by the US, with no reasons to fight one another.
Nuclear proliferation alone is going to be dreadful.

PCMAG: Security Flaw: DOGE Is So Transparent Anyone Can Edit Its Website
A coder accessed the website and left comments on two of its pages.
Perhaps ironically, DOGE is charged with "modernizing Federal technology and software to maximize governmental efficiency and productivity." In his executive order establishing DOGE, President Trump renamed the existing United States Digital Service to the United States DOGE Service (USDS).

Macron calls emergency European summit on Trump, Polish minister says
It was not immediately clear which European leaders would be invited to the emergency meeting.
MUNICH — French President Emmanuel Macron is convening European leaders for an emergency summit in Paris on Monday, according to Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.
"I'm very glad that President Macron has called our leaders to Paris," Sikorski said, adding that he expects the European leaders to discuss "in a very serious fashion" the challenges posed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"President Trump has a method of operating which the Russians call razvedka boyem —reconnaissance through battle: You push and you see what happens, and then you change your position. ... And we need to respond," the Polish minister said.
The meeting will take place on Monday, according to two EU officials.
It was not immediately clear whether the meeting would involve all EU leaders, or only a smaller group of countries, and if other European leaders like U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer would also be invited.
A French spokesperson was not immediately able to comment. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, who was on the panel with Sikorski in Munich, didn’t confirm or deny the emergency summit.
Sikorski said later that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will travel on Monday at Macron's invitation to the meeting. "We need to show our strength and unity," Sikorski said in a post on social media.

This wasn't hard to see coming, but AI controlling a weapon is kind of Terminator scary. This a long and detailed rundown on the latest generation of drones from Germany. Likely cell phone processors with AI controlling killer drones with extended range and autonomy at times.

I mentioned a while ago here the Phillip K. Dick stories about autonomous anti-personnel drones that get out of control... not to mention all of the Terminator and Matrix stuff...

'You can't kill your way out of this war' — Kellogg calls for sanctions against Russia's shadow fleet, concessions from Ukraine to end war
by Dmytro Basmat and The Kyiv Independent news desk February 15, 2025 8:51 PM
U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy for Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellogg, attended a panel discussion during the Munich Security Conference on Feb. 15 where he called for the the U.S. to implement additional sanctions on Russia's "shadow fleet," while also calling for concessions from both countries to secure a peace deal.
"What is driving Russia? It's really a petrol state. 70% of the money they are getting to fund this war is coming from petrol, oil and gas. Most of that is going through the shadow fleet" Kellogg said at the panel discussion attended by Kyiv Independent journalists.
"So what does (Russian President Vladimir Putin) have to give up? Well maybe he'll give up his oil revenue and we'll force him to do it, because what you do is start employing sanctions that break the economic back," Kellogg said. "These are the things you can do."
