A clement Tuesday morning paired with drone and ballistic missile attacks means there’s no time like yesterday to have packed away some pasta and filled your flask with Côtes du Rhône in expectation of some blammedy-blam in the morning.
But, putain, why does it have to happen in my back yard in the capital city of a large European country?

No one got any sleep last night. Nasty five-hour attack. Buildings were damaged, including the one below in Obolon district.

What it looks/sounds like when a Shahed slams into your foyer at 3 a.m.
I think the video below is from Darnytsky district on the left bank. Damage was reported in seven of the city’s 10 districts.
A maternity hospital Odesa was smashed overnight (photos c/o Suspilne Odesa), as well as buildings in Dnipro.



Watched the California protests live, on and off. What a mess.

Hundreds of US Marines are unlikely to diffuse any hostilities which may arise. They will just make them worse. Donald’s abuse of presidential emergency powers is completely unprecedented under any legal authority.

Most Americans don’t seem very worried, yet.
This interview with Steve was irritating, espec the bits about Pete deciding to send in the US Marines, er, as if that was his decision. He will be testifying today before the House and Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittees and might be asked about wasting money on the military parade on June 14.
Look up 1992 LA Riots and kindly define “unprecedented”. Your commentary has little credibility lately.
Have a nice day
