"With remarkable transparency, the Pentagon has offered a public inventory of the $66.5 billion array of weaponry supplied to Ukraine — including, at last count, more than a half-billion rounds of small-arms ammunition and grenades, 10,000 Javelin antiarmor weapons, 3,000 Stinger antiaircraft systems, 272 howitzers, 76 tanks, 40 High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, 20 Mi-17 helicopters and three Patriot air defense batteries.
But a New York Times investigation reveals that America was woven into the war far more intimately and broadly than previously understood. At critical moments, the partnership was the backbone of Ukrainian military operations that, by U.S. counts, have killed or wounded more than 700,000 Russian soldiers. (Ukraine has put its casualty toll at 435,000.) Side by side in Wiesbaden’s mission command center, American and Ukrainian officers planned Kyiv’s counteroffensives. A vast American intelligence-collection effort both guided big-picture battle strategy and funneled precise targeting information down to Ukrainian soldiers in the field.
One European intelligence chief recalled being taken aback to learn how deeply enmeshed his N.A.T.O. counterparts had become in Ukrainian operations. “They are part of the kill chain now,” he said.
The partnership’s guiding idea was that this close cooperation might allow the Ukrainians to accomplish the unlikeliest of feats — to deliver the invading Russians a crushing blow. And in strike after successful strike in the first chapters of the war — enabled by Ukrainian bravery and dexterity but also Russian incompetence — that underdog ambition increasingly seemed within reach."

As Trump's allies start turning on his DEF Sec, Jennifer Rubin explains how Pete Hegseth's tenure will get much worse—& why it'll become untenable for Trump & the GOP.
Trump’s top advisors discussed war plans in an insecure chat, a scandal that continues to shake the admin. This comes as a poll finds that 74% of Americans see the leak as a serious problem, incl 60% of Rs.

@GottaLaff Key takeaways: 1) Heritage Foundation pwned #Hegseth and the #DoD there's at least 1 leaker in the DoD and they won't be able to find out who because they distributed the 'secret' so widely. 3) Hegseth & Co. are too lazy to do anything but plagiarize.
Given the massive investment they have made this is truly disturbing

Hegseth’s younger brother is serving in a key role inside the Pentagon - because of course he is. The infiltration process continues unabated and will likely heat up as #Trump and #MAGA complete their takeover of the government. #DOD #Pentagon #military #coup #AmericanCoup https://www.defensenews.com/pentagon/2025/03/28/hegseths-younger-brother-is-serving-in-a-key-role-inside-the-pentagon/
Last week, while reviewing detected lookalike domains, one in particular stood out: cdsi--simi[.]com. A quick search pointed him to a legitimate U.S. military contractor, CDSI, which specializes in electronic warfare and telemetry systems. It's legitimate domain cdsi-simi[.]com features a single hyphen, whereas the lookalike domain uses two hyphens.
Passive DNS revealed a goldmine: a cloud system in Las Vegas hosting Russian domains and other impersonations of major companies.
Here are a few samples of the domains:
- reag-br[.]com Lookalike for Reag Capital Holdings, Brazil.
- creo--ia[.]com Lookalike for an industrial fabrication firm in WA State.
- admiralsmetal[.]com Lookalike for US based metals provider.
- ustructuressinc[.]com Lookalike Colorado based Heavy Civil Contractor.
- elisontechnologies[.]com Typosquat for Ellison Technologies machine fabrication.
