Why #Trump hates #Zelensky

How Trump and some in his Admin have tried to belittle and humiliate Zelensky — but others, working with Kyiv and Europe, have pushed back

And “Is Donald Trump a #Russia asset?”

Took me a month to get around to reading this, but here Der Spiegel reports that the CIA had very early knowledge of Ukraine's secret op to blow up the Nord Stream pipeline, and officials even hinted US support before Washington tried to stop the whole thing.

We're still a long way from Seymour Hersh's claim that the Americans and Norwegians carried out the bombing themselves, but his fantastical tale nevertheless seems less inaccurate than the early-days suspicion that Russia bombed its own pipeline.

Pipeline Explosion in the Baltic Sea: How Early Did the CIA Know about the Nord Stream Attack?

In 2022, a Ukrainian commando blew up the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline. DER SPIEGEL has learned that the CIA may have spoken to the saboteurs during the planning stage.

Why are Shahed drones so relevant for Iran at the moment? Not necessarily because of the destruction they cause. I analyse what we know about #drone use in Iran for WPR.

De Telegraaf, the Netherlands’ largest newspaper published an interview with a woman claiming to organise her own evacuation flights from Dubai, promoting seats at €1,600. Bellingcat found that the image in the interview was likely AI-generated, and flight-tracking data suggests no such plane took off.

AI Used to Promote Non-Existent Evacuation Flights From the Middle East - bellingcat

A Dutch newspaper published a story about private evacuation flights from Dubai, but the photo shows signs of AI generation and the flights appear never to have existed.
