The most powerful short video of our time.
"He went from being a good leader to being a great leader, to being Winston Churchill with an iPhone."
If you haven't already then please do watch The Zelensky Story on BBC iPlayer.

This attack tonight on the Monastery by the Russians in Kyiv makes no sense. It has a parallel with the bombing of London’s St. Paul’s in 1940 by the Germans. It won’t work. Someone tell me the military necessity of the Russian attack. There is none.

Personally, I am looking forward to the spectacle of greenies throwing themselves into the sea as human shields to protect white pointers from being culled. 🥤🍿

Tap, tap, tap.
“The agreement is believed to pave the way for a 60-day period of negotiations over Tehran’s controversial nuclear program, which the U.S. suspects could be used to develop a nuclear weapon. In exchange for curbs on the program, Iran expects access to billions of dollars of cash blocked abroad and an end to sanctions that have stifled its economy.”

Just quietly, TV news isn’t rocket science. But Weiss had two decades of journalism experience including starting up and publishing The Free Press before she was made CBS deputy editor. The NYT publisher, AG Sulzberger, got his gig after little more than 10 years in the news business. I guess it helps if your family owns the joint.

This NYT line is ridiculous. Yes, Weiss was an opinion writer. But she also was founder & editor of a media corp that had over 1M subscribers, a non-trivial portion of which are paid, that published plenty of investigative work. NYT deliberately used the least salient descriptor.

Midnight Hammer and Epic Fury achieved a great deal. The world is safer, to be sure. But Iranians will not have a just future nor will there be peace and stability in the Middle East so long as a revolutionary Islamist regime calls the shots from Teheran.

Everyone knows that @realDonaldTrump loves winners, and has said that Ukraine can win. It can, if America and Europe back it as they should. It is, after all, in their own interest.

With a number of my colleagues, we had a 1 hr conference call with a Senior Administration Official - who outlined the terms of the MOU with Iran
1. Nuclear material will be destroyed and removed
2. Nuclear program will be dismantled
3. None of their money released until they perform
4. Strait of Hormuz will be open
5. No Iran funding of terrorist groups
While still playing coy...note this interesting change of tone by @araghchi

SpaceX market cap (albeit on limited liquidity) is greater than Australia’s GDP and that of 180 other nations. Out of this world, you might say.

This is pretty wild. SpaceX plans to launch one million satellites into orbit to form a space-based web of AI data centres. There have only been about 25,000 satellites lunched since the beginning of the space age.

More limited strikes as Iran keeps tapping along to the midterms—a hostage-negotiating game the regime learned in its infancy.

China is engaged in a multi domain hybrid war with the West, which includes cyber intrusion, theft and disruption operations, yet it is permitted to vertically integrate our energy and transport systems. Call me Jacobim “crazy pill” Mugatu if you like, but this is insane.

I’m sorry but @WilliamJHague’s defence of academic freedom is not helped by asserting that “protest has an important place” in the academy. It does not. Shouting slogans on the quad, whether disruptive or not, is not part of its institutional mission.
Jun 9
The rest of @michaelpforan's talks should go ahead.
Freedom of speech is a fundamental academic freedom and it must be upheld. Equally, legitimate and lawful protest has an important place in university life. The task is to maintain both.
Especially at events open to the public like this, it is an important Oxford tradition that any disagreement is expressed in a civil and respectful way.

Spoke with President Trump tonight as he oversaw the U.S. military strikes against Iran from the Situation Room.
The President told me he spoke directly with Iranian officials tonight who asked him to stop bombing.
49 Tomahawk missiles had been fired by the United States at the time we spoke, along with bombing from fighter jets. Closest target to Tehran was approximately 40 miles outside of the city.
Trump added that the bombing will stop shortly, but that if they don't sign the agreement, "we'll bomb the shit out of them."
President Trump called this "the most violated ceasefire in the history of the world."
Vice President JD Vance told me the United States is dealing with both moderate and more extreme voices in Iran as part of the negotiation process.
