Iraq War veteran on final withdrawal of US troops this week after 23yrs: Had anyone told me while I was dodging IEDs in 2007 that I'd be writing about the final withdrawal at age 48, I would have rightly questioned the entire project. responsiblestatecraft.org/us…

Ted Snider : Microsoft was so "in the fight" for Ukraine its executives got security clearances and were sitting in on secure briefings with the NSA and CIA in the early part of the war. Today they say they will continue to support Kyiv thru 2027.

After Zach Bryan and his band brandish Free Palestine t-shirts last night in Robert Kraft's stadium, it looks more and more like @jackhunter74 was right, Ed Sheeran walked right into a Sun City trap. responsiblestatecraft.org/ma…

Tonight at Gillette Stadium, Zach Bryan, one of the biggest country music artists in the world, wore a Free Palestine shirt onstage.
Gillette Stadium is owned by Robert Kraft, who pushed Ed Sheeran and his promoter to drop Macklemore from his tour.
Bryan isn’t just a major country artist.
He is one of the biggest live draws in music, filling stadiums across the United States and in major cities around the world.
Bryan served eight years on active duty in the US Navy and served overseas in Bahrain and Djibouti.
Members of Bryan’s band also wore shirts supporting the Palestinian cause, including his drummer, who wore a jersey honoring the memory of Hind Rajab.
Zach Bryan has a second show at Gillette Stadium tomorrow, Saturday night.

The UAE nuclear deal is considered the "gold standard" because the UAE agreed to forgo enrichment and reprocessing, two paths to bomb-grade material.
The proposed Saudi deal doesn't require the same, explains @khansahar1 in @RStatecraft.

As I wrote @RStatecraft, the Pentagon’s own spokesperson has said the Office of Strategic Capital is confined to loans and guarantees and cannot take an ownership stake in private companies. This deal has more holes than Swiss cheese!
Senate Democrats are challenging the legality and prudence of the Pentagon’s plan to take a stake in a Venezuelan oil company, laying the groundwork for a potential probe into the arrangement. on.wsj.com/3Vm6NcM

Over the past couple years, Ethiopian officials have increasingly demanded free access to Eritrea’s Red Sea Port of Assab, which was under Ethiopian control until Eritrea’s independence from the country in 1993.

“Despite national backlash, nearly every Senate Republican, including those in tight races in key Senate battleground states, just voted to continue the price-hiking war in Iran"
Wonder why there's a red scare.

Tech giants like Microsoft, SpaceX and Palantir have effectively chosen sides, becoming essential U.S. and Ukrainian partners on a transformed battlefield. Their technology has proved as important to Ukraine as the weapons supplied by allied governments, says Ted Snider.

Ethiopia is on the brink of another civil war. And Eritrea, Egypt, Sudan, Somalia and Djibouti all have a stake in the conflict, which could make it difficult to contain, says @dan_m_ford.

Republicans in tight races around the country are increasingly taking note and trying to distance themselves from the war’s economic fallout, with some beginning to call for the conflict to end.
But that rhetorical opposition has yet to turn into action.
