For the first time since 2013, there is not a single Russian warship left in the Mediterranean. Russia’s permanent naval presence has evaporated.
Meanwhile, their only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, is reportedly heading to the scrapheap after 9 years and $1 billion wasted on failed repairs. It is in such terrible shape that no one even wants to buy it for scrap metal.
Which begs the question: how is the legendary Russian submarine fleet holding up?
The reality under the surface isn’t much better. Submarine maintenance requires advanced high-tech alloys, precision engineering, and specialized electronics—precisely the things Russia can no longer import due to sanctions. While they still have a few modern hulls, the majority of the fleet is plagued by:
Noisy propulsion systems: Lack of precision parts makes them easier for NATO to track.
Delayed refits: Shipyards are clogged with broken surface ships and starved of cash.
Safety cuts: A dangerous cocktail when dealing with nuclear reactors.
A self-proclaimed naval superpower, now reduced to a green-water navy with rusted hulls and empty docks

President Donald Trump accused China of interfering with US elections in 2020, threatening to upend ties with the world’s second-biggest economy as he focuses on securing a victory in the midterms in November.
Speaking in a prime-time address from the White House, Trump said the Chinese government stole 220 million voter files, including names, addresses and other sensitive data in what is “believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history” — claims that US intelligence agencies have previously debunked.

If our spy agencies have to toe a political line instead of telling the truth, we’re flying blind. When loyalty to one man outweighs loyalty to the mission, America gets weaker- plain and simple. #IntelCrisis #NationalSecurity #intelligence #politics bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Nobody vetted these documents? Or did CIA intentionally release documents to make Trump look like a fucking idiot?
Comments welcome.Jay in Kyiv (@JayinKyiv)It seems the “secret documents” Trump released to show China engaged in election interference to help Biden mainly provide yet further evidence of Russia allocating enormous resources to install Trump.— https://x.com/JayinKyiv/status/2078000786269704524

Israel says it has killed Nihad Riyad Abd al-Rahim Arouq, whom the Israeli military identifies as a Hamas Shati Battalion platoon commander. The IDF claims he took part in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and had recently been training Hamas fighters and helping plan attacks on Israeli troops. The strike comes as Israel intensifies military operations across Gaza. A senior Israeli military officer says Israeli forces now control more than 60% of the Gaza Strip, while additional strikes are reported in Gaza City, Khan Younis and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
