Pope Leo gave JD Vance what he deserved recently 17 seconds and then passed him by.Some good news.
Maybe Trump seeing Zelensky as very popular in Rome, he was clapped, and no Vance in the room but instead the input of the much better Scott Besant has enables Trump to strike a much better balance. The new deal is much more helpful. Now lets see what he does with Russia. I hope he will develop a spine on this but now he is listening more to more sensible people, I have a great hope.
US, Ukraine sign resources deal two months after Oval Office clash
The US and Ukraine sign an agreement to create a "reconstruction investment fund", two months after initial plans to sign a wartime deal were shelved when the countries' leaders spectacularly clashed in the Oval Office.www.abc.net.au
Humans are great at adapting.the rapid rate of adaption is scary.
There's what they call the kill zone between the opposing (entrenched) forces.
Drones are using fibre optical cables, and they're now reaching 20+ km. It is rumoured up to 4 HIMARS have been hit - "shoot and scoot" is becoming problematic.
And according to The Economist, Shaheds are now controlled via Telegram bots – a note was found in a downed drone, which stated that the drones now transmit real-time video and flight data to operators via bots in a Telegram channel. It was also found that the new Shahed are no longer sensitive to EW, as they do not rely on GPS.
So Ukraine no longer has one hand tied behind it's back.Escalating.
The Donald has failed to broker a truce and it's just got worse.
Putin will probably threaten those countries supplying long range missiles that hit Russia with retaliation on their soil.

For the first time since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, Ukraine has been given the green light to use Western-supplied long-range weapons inside Russian territory.
Even as optimism over a ceasefire deal slowly mounts, key figures in the EU have remained adamant that the Russian threat must be contained.
The tension and uncertainty over the true extent of Vladimir Putin’s ambitions is clearly rattling cages.
Earlier this month, a report from The International Institute for Strategic Studies warned Russia could be in a position to threaten NATO nations within two years if it is allowed to rebuild its military.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz confirmed the escalation this week, stating that “there are no longer any restrictions on the range of weapons delivered to Ukraine – neither by the UK, France, nor us. There are no restrictions by the US either.”
In other words, the gloves are off.
Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.Ukraine hit 4 airfields deep in Russia...
At the signal, the roofs opened remotely. Dozens of drones launched directly from the trucks, striking strategic bomber aircraft. And Russia can’t produce these bombers any more. The loss is massive. Nothing like this has ever been done before.
Powerful piece of work indeed. Will certainly shake Russian military offensive capacities to the core.Ukraine secretly delivered FPV drones and wooden mobile cabins into Russia. The drones were hidden under the roofs of the cabins, which were later mounted on trucks.

Hard-to-replace bombers such as the Tu-22M3, the Tu-95 and the A-50 were destroyed within minutes of each other, at the four air bases.
Ukraine’s ability to destroy billions of dollars of high-value assets with relatively cheap weaponised drones will recalibrate defence priorities around the globe as countries move to protect now vulnerable military weapons.
Apart from being great for Ukraine, it’s also a huge present for the United States ArmedForces.The Sino-Russian alliance was just significantly weakened
If the reports are accurate, it would appear that Ukraine has now become a force to be reckoned with.Further details of the Ukraine drone attack
How Ukraine pulled off its 'extremely complex' drone attack on Russia
Ukraine's security services say they have destroyed 34 per cent of Russia's air missile carriers with a bold drone attack. Here's what we know.www.abc.net.au
Very clever.pulling this off must have been a longshot. .... 18 months of preparation

Russian investigators have questioned the drivers of the trucks from which drones were launched during a large-scale attack on military targets.
From Russian media:
“One of the drivers, a 55-year-old man from Chelyabinsk named Alexander Z., said that the truck belonged to a 37-year-old man named Artyom. Some time ago, Artyom had received an order from a businessman based in the Murmansk region, who requested the transportation of four prefabricated houses from Chelyabinsk to the Kola District of Murmansk. The two men agreed on a price, and Alexander loaded the "cargo" into the truck and set off. According to him, while en route, an unknown individual contacted him by phone and gave specific instructions on when and where to stop. The final stop was near a Rosneft gas station close to a military airfield in Murmansk. It was from that location that the drones were launched.
A similar story was shared by another truck driver, 61-year-old Andrey M., who said he also worked for Artyom. His task was to transport prefabricated houses to the Irkutsk region. However, when he parked near the "Teremok" café in Usolye-Sibirskoye, drones began to take off from the back of his truck.
Other truck drivers involved in incidents in the Ryazan and Ivanovo regions reported similar experiences. One of them, a 46-year-old man named Sergey, told investigators he was transporting a modular house from Chelyabinsk. While driving through Ryazan, the roof of his Scania truck suddenly tore off, and drones flew out. The fourth truck, involved in the drone launch targeting the Ivanovo airfield the day before, was also loaded in Chelyabinsk. According to the driver, this truck also belonged to Artyom.
A criminal case has been opened under terrorism-related charges. Investigators are currently searching for Artyom, who is reportedly a native of Ukraine.”

....I bet that Artyom is not his real name
