"Earlier this week, Time published a story about Volodymyr Zelensky’s struggle to, well, make people still care about his war, given that there is now another conflict unfolding in the Middle East. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides told Time. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”
There are different ways to look at this. You might say the only people more deluded than Zelensky are his Western backers. Or you might say the plan has always been fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian and that it required someone as deluded as Zelensky from the start.
Meanwhile, the southern U.S. border remains open. How bad is it? In a letter obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday, the mayors of Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York pressed to “meet with President Joe Biden about getting federal help in managing the surge of migrants they say are arriving in their cities with little to no coordination, support or resources from his administration.”
The problem has become unbearably real, even for liberals.
“Migrants are sleeping in police station foyers in Chicago. In New York, a cruise ship terminal was turned into a shelter,” the letter said. “In Denver, the number of migrants arriving has increased tenfold and available space to shelter them has withered.”

On this most sacred day of the Christian faith, a US president who claims to be a Christian issues a threat to a nation of 94 million people, including over 500,000, Christians—threatening to commit war crimes (pursuant to Geneva Convention) against their civilian infrastructure.
"Behold the puerile, B-movie gangster style of his prose and his use of the word “F..kin’”—now the most overused word in the English language and the clearest expression of our degenerate culture.
"Upon seeing this post, I immediately thought of Madison’s reflections on the evil of war.
"The same malignant aspect . . . may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both.

This week, the US President gave an apparently delusional update of the Iran conflict. Iran's military is decimated, and it's President is asking for a cease fire, he reported.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman immediately rejected that. State broadcaster IRIB quoted Esmail Baghaei as saying Trump's statements were false and unfounded.
Trump attributed the request for a ceasefire to Iran's "New Regime President."
On the same day, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian criticized the US war against his country in an open letter to the people of the United States on Wednesday, calling it an absurd operation that is costly for their nation.
Within hours of Mr. Trump's analysis of a destroyed Iranian military, Iran fired more missiles at Israel and Gulf Arab states, demonstrating Tehran’s continued ability to attack even as US President Donald Trump claimed the threat from the country was nearly eliminated and predicted the war would end soon.

Today's assymetrical warfare: Iran's cheap munitions are taking out American's most expensive aircraft.
One internet observer:
"Iran, still using their pawns, while Israel and the US out there, with only their King n Queen left. Who will fall first?
"5 pawns and a king versus a king and queen in a chess end game, the side with the 8 pawns always wins. 5 pawns is enough. That’s standard.
"In a way, you could call it asymmetrical warfare."
