An explosion has occurred at the Augsburg main train station in Germany which has injured two people police have found unexploded devices.

Germany is experiencing a wave of sabotage attacks...


And it isn’t going to stop

Germany should stop reacting and start announcing. Berlin’s answer to Leipzig must be a published escalation ladder, stated in advance and in writing, so that Moscow knows exactly what each proven attack will cost before it sends the next drone.

The first costs Russia every intelligence officer in Germany, declared or not. The second unlocks Taurus for Kyiv. The third seizes the frozen assets outright rather than politely harvesting the interest. The fourth invites Article 4 consultations and a NATO response. No exemptions, no review panels, no second thoughts.

Berlin can afford this because Russia is not a problem for NATO, and Moscow knows it better than Berlin does. Before the war the Russian military amounted to roughly one fifteenth of the alliance’s capacity. Today, after four and a half years bleeding out in Ukraine, it is a starving lion with the hyenas already circling, still dangerous to whatever wanders too close but no longer master of anything.

That is the enemy Germany answered with a closed consulate. Deterrence is not a mood, it is a schedule.

Putin is bombing Europe with impunity

The Skies Over Russia Just Got Interesting.

Zelensky has done something rather magnificent here, which is to declare Russian airspace unsafe with the cheerful politeness of a man telling you the restaurant you booked has a rat problem. He is not threatening a single civilian aircraft, you understand. Heavens no.

There will simply be an enormous number of drones up there, and physics will do the rest.

The genius is in the audience. This is not a message for the Kremlin, it is a memo to every airline accountant and insurance underwriter still pretending that flights into Moscow are a normal commercial proposition. Insurers do not care about ideology. They care about actuarial tables, and those tables just caught fire.

Russia started a war and exported it by missile and drone across a border. Now the war is coming home to its departure lounges, and no amount of Kremlin silence will reroute it.


Having drones loiter in civilian airspace round the clock is the same as blockading a port with ships. Emergency flights only if that and cheaper than bombing cities.

In addition to promoting Pete Hegseth’s silly macho propaganda, he actively participated in anti-Ukraine rhetoric and spouted straight-up Kremlin propaganda.

Germany and other European countries that have not done so yet - let’s stop issuing Schengen tourist visas to Russian citizens.

The Baltic states did this back in 2022.

German authorities have identified suspects in the Leipzig drone attack, including a Belarusian national with a Russian passport who entered the Schengen area on an Italian tourist visa issued in Minsk in late April.

The Glide Bomb Threat: While missile strikes have been a focus, the use of air-launched glide bombs is expanding rapidly (reaching up to 70,000 in 2026). These are difficult to intercept and threaten to overwhelm Ukraine's defenses (1:46 - 3:55).
Air Defense Layers: The video breaks down Ukraine's layered defense, including medium-tier systems like NASAMS, IRIS-T, and Improved HAWK (4:09 - 7:07). It highlights that these systems are currently dispersed, making full area coverage impossible.
Interceptor Inventory Crisis: Ukraine is facing a severe shortage of advanced interceptor missiles for systems like the Patriot and SAMP/T (8:25 - 11:23). Recent trends suggest that even AMRAAM stocks for NASAMS and fighter jets are thinning (11:24 - 12:42).
Potential Future Developments: The video posits that if Russia adopts a more aggressive strategy—risking more aircraft to test Ukraine's defenses—they could target key Ukrainian logistics and production hubs, potentially impacting the wider war effort (12:43 - 17:25).
