⚡US and allies working to transfer Patriot systems to Ukraine, but lacking even for their own needs — Rubio

"In fact, if the Ukrainians asked for anything additional, they asked for air defense systems, Patriot systems, which, frankly, we do not have. But we cannot produce them fast enough. And one of the problems we face in Ukraine is that ammunition is being used up much faster than we can produce it," the secretary emphasized.

Well yes. Been bolder doesn't mean you are stronger anyway. They just know each of them are capable of wrecking havoc on eachother
No it means you know what you got and you know the other side don't have it.

It's the same confidence the US have when fighting weaker and poorer countries.

if NATO had the kind of weapons Russia has, they'll be the one bullying Russia, not the other way round.

Russia bullies NATO, especially in the air and seas.

⚡US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned Tuesday that Syria could be weeks away from civil war, days after he met with the country’s transitional leaders.

“It is our assessment that, frankly, the transitional authority, given the challenges they’re facing, are maybe weeks — not many months — away from potential collapse and a full scale civil war of epic proportions, basically the country splitting up,” Rubio told a Senate hearing.

⚡Indonesia is reportedly reviewing its $8.1 billion 42 Rafale fighter jet deal after claims that three Indian Rafales were downed by Pakistani J-10Cs on May 7.

Indonesian defense officials are claimed to be quietly reassessing the jets’ operational credibility.

No formal changes to the deal have been announced, and deliveries are still expected in early 2026.

However, the rumors have sparked concern within Indonesia’s defense circles, given the strategic weight of the Rafale in its air force modernization.

The upgraded drones now carry a 90 kg warhead (up from 50 kg) with four types of effects, all dangerous to civilians:

— Shaped charge pierces walls and floors.
— Fragmentation spreads deadly shrapnel.
— High explosive blast destroys structures.
— Incendiary impact can ignite fires even without structural collapse.

⚡According to a report today from CNN, it was the Trump Administration who first reached out to Qatar regarding the purchase/transfer of one of its Boeing 747-8s as a temporary replacement for Air Force One, despite President Trump and other officials describing the deal as a “gift” originally offered by Qatar.

Discussions are said to be ongoing between lawyers at the U.S. Department of Defense and the Qatari Defense Ministry regarding the transfer, with officials stating that the retrofit and installation of the required security and communications equipment on the plane could take two years and cost multiples of what the plane itself is worth; with the first of two VC-25Bs from Boeing likely to be close to delivery by the time the retrofit is completed in 2027.

⚡"They’re scaring them" - MSNBC’s Jeff Bennett says Trump and Vance have bullied Zelensky and all of Europe.

"Even during the Biden administration, there was a view that Ukraine couldn’t win this war in the traditional sense, that it was going to be a negotiated end, and that the goal was to give Ukraine the resources — the intelligence, the military that it needed to have the most leverage and the best position at the table. And you could argue that the Trump administration has undermined Ukraine.

When J.D. Vance said today, on the eve of the negotiations, that the United States is ready to pull out of this process, that certainly instills fear, I think, not only in President Zelenskyy but in European countries around the world."

⚡Trump:

Just completed my two hour call with President Vladimir Putin of Russia. I believe it went very well. Russia and Ukraine will immediately start negotiations toward a Ceasefire and, more importantly, an END to the War.

Russia wants to do largescale TRADE with the United States when this catastrophic “bloodbath” is over, and I agree.

There is a tremendous opportunity for Russia to create massive amounts of jobs and wealth. Its potential is UNLIMITED. Likewise, Ukraine can be a great beneficiary on Trade, in the process of rebuilding its Country.

Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine will begin immediately.
