Appears the podcaster Charlie Kirk was assassinated at an event at Utah Valley University. Probably more details and news will be published later, as currently not much is available.

And in other news, many Russian drones entered Polish airspace (on their way to Ukraine) and some got shot down by fighter-jets.
Also Israel performed targeted strikes in Qatar, aiming at Hamas leaders.
 
, many Russian drones entered Polish airspace (on their way to Ukraine) and some got shot down by fighter-jets.
It appears Poland was the target, so it was done on purpose. Some of these drones didn't had explosives in them but had extra fuel instead to increase their range to reach deep into Poland. They eventually ran out of fuel and landed/crashed.
Other drones, longer range ones with explosives, turned around and continued to Ukraine.

Some did get shot, but with very expensive rockets. Sure, they had to... but if Russia starts sending 100's each day this won't work.

At first I thought they were after some weapons in transit to Ukraine, but later it seemed it was not so.

Expensive rockets and planes which are also expensive to fly.
I think I've read some drones reached 300 km away from the border.
They say Russia is testing NATO defenses, but I don't understand.
Russia alone is not able to fight at the same time in Ukraine and some NATO front.
They just gave the NATO plausible reason to patrol the western Ukraine skies,
so that Ukraine can deploy more air defense eastwards.
So Russia either intends to grow relunctance of NATO to send air defenses to Ukraine (and use them themselves, so Putin may think the NATO can't also not help Ukraine and fight at some other front at the same time)
or counts on other countries to help Russia (North Korea already, then Belarus, and the big question is how much would China help, how much is at stake for China in Europe).

Russia cannot fight a war with NATO, but their point is to show Europe they cannot fight that war either. A few drones couldn't be stopped and this time it were only a few.
Europe can do something, but at a high cost and not even effectively.
Europe would need Ukraine more for air-defence.

It's like yelling they'll use nukes, it's to make Europe think twice about their support for Ukraine. And it appears to still work.
 
I'm being let loose on the staff at my voluntary job. One of the assistant managers has passed a portable appliance training course and wants me to give them further instruction.

Well, as Zelensky said, it's normal not to be prepared because Poland is not in a war.

I'm also unsure why more drones weren't stopped. I've heard those heading for a NATO base where stopped.
Maybe they were following them to check what were the targets?
Or maybe they just couldn''t catch them. I don't know.

I read they may have been drones launched from Ukrania, Russia or Belarus flying over Moldavia, Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and I remember some years ago a Russian drone crashing on parking lot in Croatia ((no casualties but cars destroyed).
I can't tell what's and accident, or a probe, and what's a provocation. But this last time in Poland looked like provocation.

Maybe I'm just a pacifist, but preparing for war causes wars (international wars, "civil" wars, military coups...).
And it's a little like saying Nepal is ill prepared for tsunamis. It's fine because it shouldn't be.

In fact the new Polish president is asking the government to confirm if the only damage in the incident was caused by friendly fire
(a private house roof destroyed allegedly by a air-to-air missile from some F-16 which fortunately didn't arm and explode).
I don't think I like the new president, but he's right this should be investigated and known.
So, being less prepared still could maybe have saved some tens of thousands of euros.

In fact Russia is in war, and is apparently not well prepared enough because Ukraine keeps hitting oil infrastructure dozens of hundreds of kilometers from the border.
I wonder whether it's too hard to be well prepared against drones. It's increasing a never-ending fighter robot buildup with humans as collateral damage and paying for it all
Europe would need Ukraine more for air-defence.
Ukraine is offering to train Polish soldiers in air defense. Not sure if Poland will want it or not. I think they want but they don't know how exactly.
They fear sending troops to Ukraine for training, which would likely be the most useful, and they doubt taking Ukrainians to Poland as instructors while they could be working in Ukraine...
It's like yelling they'll use nukes, it's to make Europe think twice about their support for Ukraine. And it appears to still work.
I hate to agree with Trump, but Europe should stop buying Russian fossil fuels. Trumps wants Europe to buy fossil fuels from USA and I want to accelerate renewables,
Russia is slowly taking economic harm. I doubt the West can do enough economic harm but it should try.

Just tell them to buy Pyras, that'll give you a comfortable work schedule.
