HIMARS..
A Russian drone spotted the wheeled HIMARS and its trailing support vehicles next to a treeline in Nykanorivka, in eastern Ukraine’s Donetsk Oblast around 25 miles from the front line.
A missile launched, hypersonic Iskander—struck near the HIMARS, setting ablaze the 17-ton launcher and apparently cooking off one of its 227-millimeter M30/31 rockets.
The 27th Rocket Artillery Brigade, the Ukrainian army’s sole HIMARS unit, normally operates at dawn or dusk and keeps it vehicles moving and under cover when they’re not on a fire-mission.
In any event, it’s a hard loss for the Ukrainian army. It seems the combination of a far-flying reconnaissance drone and a fast-acting Iskander battery finally got the better of the Ukrainian 27th Brigade.
Comment: Who are we kidding here? Ukraine should stay neutral, the American should stop providing free lunch to establish NATO base in Ukraine, circling the Russians as they did before in the Sixties. Just a thought.

Our climate plans are ambitious," Biden said. "But we are America. We are unwavering in our commitment to innovation."
On his first day in office last week, Biden had the United States re-enter the Paris accord. He also cancelled the permit for the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. That was earlier with promises as he got into the office.
A year later, The U.S. has appealed to members of OPEC to step up production and exports to cover demand, including Saudi Arabia in particular.
In other word, we need the Opec Countries, and the oil producers to dance the way Biden needs to keep the office. Hard to do. Just a thought.

We need to do more and the United States will do more," Biden told reporters, adding that "aid flowing to Gaza is nowhere nearly enough."
The development comes a day after the deaths of Palestinians queuing for aid threw a spotlight on an unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in the crowded coastal enclave.
Other countries, including Jordan and France, have already carried out airdrops of aid into Gaza. \
On the other hand Netanyahu said he is close to winning the war ........................................ starving the civilians !!!

Corrosive..
The NYTimes piece opened with a disturbing scene, a video that captured a woman, Gal Abdush, “lying on her back, dress torn, legs spread, vagina exposed.” The authors stated, “based largely on video evidence,” that unnamed Israeli “police officials said they believed” Abdush had been raped.
When key elements of the story are not supported with transparent and unimpeachable evidence, or when a reporter publicly engages in inappropriate behavior on social media, it can damage a news organization’s vital credibility.
