AFP/Reuters:
"...Satellite imaging company Planet Labs has said it will indefinitely withhold visuals of Iran and the region of conflict in the Middle East to comply with a request from United States President Donald Trump’s administration.
The US company announced the decision in an email to customers on Saturday, with news agencies quoting it as saying the government had asked satellite imagery providers to impose an “indefinite withhold of imagery”...."
A thoroughly researched account of how #Germany, often on the wrong side of history, led a #Europe shit scared of #Russia to reject #Ukraine entry into #NATO
> When it came to assigning responsibility, Zelenskyy didn't just single out the Russians – the murderers who hunted down pedestrians and cyclists. He also mentioned former German Chancellor Angela #Merkel and ex-French President Nicolas Sarkozy. "I invite Ms. Merkel and Mr. Sarkozy to visit Bucha to see what the policy of 14 years of concessions to Russia has led to."
In April 2008, NATO deliberated on admitting Ukraine as a new member as a show of strength against Vladimir Putin. Washington favored the move, but the Germans thwarted the plan. A reconstruction of a decision that ended in disaster.

'if we were winning, the embassy would be open and my students wouldn't be ducking out of class due to missile alerts'
Why is a Trump-mouth anonymously discussing CIA activity in a war zone?
When has any 'senior' official ever spoken this loosely on CIA activity mid-conflict?
Confirmations compromise sources.
'The CIA spread word that the U.S. had found him and were moving him by ground to get him out of Iran, according to a senior Trump administration official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss details not yet made public. '

The United States pulled off a daring rescue of two aviators whose fighter jet was shot down by Iran, plucking the pilot from behind enemy lines before setting off a complicated extraction of the second service member who hid deep in the mountains as Tehran called for Iranians to help capture him.
Good time to start thinking about a little off-grid solar rig.

A children’s author. A Sufi Muslim princess descended from Indian royalty. 🌹 In 1943, Britain’s SOE had doubts about sending her. She was too honest. Too idealistic. She had never told a lie. One assessor wrote: “Not overburdened with brains.” They sent her anyway. On June 16, 1943, Noor Inayat Khan - code name: Madeleine - was dropped into Nazi-occupied France. The first female wireless operator Britain sent behind enemy lines. Within days of her arrival, her entire network was arrested. London ordered her home immediately. She refused. For three months, she was the only British spy operating alone in Nazi-occupied Paris. The most wanted Allied agent in the city. Moving constantly. Transmitting from parks and borrowed apartments. Keeping the resistance alive. In October 1943, she was betrayed for 100,000 francs. Captured. She fought so hard during her arrest they had to physically restrain her. The Gestapo interrogated her for months. They had everything - her codebooks, her radio, her network’s details. She gave them nothing. Not a single name. She tried to escape twice. The second time, she dismantled her cell window with a spoon. On September 13, 1944, she was shot at Dachau. She was 30 years old. Her last word was a single word: “Liberté.” 💾 Save this for the days you are told you are not built for this. 📤 Share this with someone who needs to know what courage really looks like.".
