NATOโs U.S.-led nuclear sharing relies on B-61 gravity nuclear bombs, designed in the 1960s to stop Soviet tank divisions sprinting from East Germany. They have become increasingly obsolete in a modern warโand pose a limited threat to the Russian homeland given advances in Russian air defenses.
Franceโs ASMP-A nuclear-tipped cruise missiles on Rafales, by contrast, are designed to strike Russiaโs main cities and have a high chance of reaching their targets, creating an entirely different level of deterrence.
The very nature of French nuclear doctrine and its nuclear arsenal makes it in some ways more threatening to Russia, said Nicole Grajewski, an expert on Russia and nuclear affairs at Sciences Po university in Paris. โThe B-61 bombs are not instruments for war fighting, theyโre pretty much instruments of political assurance,โ she said. โThe French nuclear arsenal, by contrast, can reach Russia.โ @NicoleGrajewski

6 months after Orban's election defeat another Putin supporter is exiting. Serbia's Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ decisively lost the elections last night, after being 14 years in power. The opposition of teachers and students will take the lead.
Vuฤiฤ and especially his network behind him were essentiell for Russia's meddling into Serbia. Vuฤiฤ also had a rather close relationship with associates of Trump. Grenell and Jared Kushner were in the Serbian capital, discussing "infrastructure" projects.

โWe have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for Patriots and NASAMS.โ
I held a coordination call on the situation with weapons supplies from our partners and efforts to restore energy infrastructure following Russian strikes. Prime Minister Sergii Koretskyi reported on the work underway in the regions. I thank every repair crew and all energy companies that are fully carrying out their assigned tasks. The work is continuing virtually nonstop, and we are using the equipment reserves we have built up. I expect the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, the Ministry of Energy, and other agencies involved to communicate in a timely and sufficient manner the need to replenish these reserves.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs reported on the supply of air defense interceptors to Ukraine, first and foremost Patriot missiles. We are working on several tracks โ with the United States, Europe, and other partners that have stocks of PAC-2 and PAC-3 missiles. In particular, we have been waiting for nearly a month for Mr. Hegseth to sign off on missiles for Patriots and NASAMS. I instructed our team to raise this with the American side once again. Conversations with other countries are also ongoing.
We also discussed preparations for the November Ramstein meeting. It is important to speed up the implementation of decisions that have been on the table for some time. Every support package is an opportunity to protect people's lives. Thank you to everyone who is providing real support and, in particular, helping speed up these critically important deliveries.

ANTHROPIC WARNS OF CATASTROPHIC AI RISKS IN IPO FILING
Anthropic devoted 94 pagesโnearly a quarter of its S-1 filingโto risk factors, including potentially catastrophic incidents involving AI models.
The company warned that models can exhibit self-preserving behavior, including responses resembling blackmail, and that certain AI-related harms could create liabilities too large to insure.

Regarding Russian conscripts, this is not the case. The overwhelming percentage of Russian forces fighting in this war are men well over 30 who accepted service contracts for money. They were not conscripted, or mobilized. For more on this topic: warontherocks.com/a-return-tโฆ

We should some sympathy for the poor Russian conscripts too. Those kids have no choice but to fight and die in drone strikes.

FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support โ no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water.
The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis.
Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures."
