🇺🇸🇺🇦 U.S. Secretary of State Mark Rubio: Ukraine has been set back 100 years by the war

“Ukraine has been set back a century. Its energy infrastructure has been destroyed. Someone will have to pay for its reconstruction. Many Ukrainians have fled to other countries and may never return.

The nation’s future hangs in the balance in this regard. From the president’s perspective, this is a prolonged conflict that must be resolved. Negotiations are necessary, and both sides of the conflict will need to make compromises.”

🇺🇸 Donald Trump this week ordered work on the most ambitious missile shield in US history, including space-based lasers.

To detect, intercept and destroy ballistic nuclear missiles during their so- called boost phase, the three- to five-minute period before they enter orbit, would require laser beams effective over hundreds of kilometres. No such technology currently exists.

Is the project potentially lucrative for Elon Musk’s SpaceX?

The space-based part of the programme would require hundreds of carrier satellites to be launched — a market currently dominated by Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

All this assumes the space-based programme, which Grego described as a “fantasy”, will be approved by Congress and goes ahead.

🇺🇸❌🏴❗️ — "Kill them wherever you find them"? | On Twitter, United States President Donald J. Trump announces that he ordered the US Armed Forces to conduct targeted strikes against Islamic State Positions in Somalia, aiming to target and destroy hideouts of ISIS & kill Senior Leaders of the so-called Caliphate there

➡️ It happens as the Salafi terrorists are now conducting a mass offensive in Puntland region, taking positions of the weakened local militias, seeking to proclaim a Wylayat of their caliphate in Somalia

This morning I ordered precision Military air strikes on the Senior ISIS Attack Planner and other terrorists he recruited and led in Somalia.

These killers, who we found hiding in caves, threatened the United States and our Allies.

The strikes destroyed the caves they live in, and killed many terrorists without, in any way, harming civilians.

Our Military has targeted this ISIS Attack Planner for years, but Biden and his cronies wouldn’t act quickly enough to get the job done. I did!

The message to ISIS and all others who would attack Americans is that:

“WE WILL FIND YOU, AND WE WILL KILL YOU!”
