⚓️ 🇺🇸 President Trump announces he has approved a PLAN for the U.S. Navy to begin construction on two BRAND-NEW Navy Trump-Class Battleships. “These are the best in the world.”
“They will be the fastest, the biggest, and by far, 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built.”

"Junior leaders thrive when given real responsibility. A 25-year-old colonel just saved the Revolution because the Commander-in-Chief refused to micromanage him.
"We are still trying to re-learn that lesson 250 years later.
"Every time I teach Mission Command to a new class of officers, NCOs, cops or corporate America, I make them read Washington’s order to Knox. Then I ask: “If your boss gave you an order this short, would you feel liberated—or terrified?”

One of the Greatest Military Missions in History: Henry Knox, the Guns of Ticonderoga, and the Birth of American Mission Command?
This is a great example where 400 plus page OPORDs with three page commander's intent are not needed. If PME is done right, not today either!

🇺🇸 🇬🇱 🇩🇰 Angering Denmark, Trump Appoints Special Envoy to Greenland
President Trump, who has long said he wants to “get” the semiautonomous Danish territory, tapped Louisiana’s governor for the new position. Officials in Greenland and Denmark expressed outrage.
Mr. Trump announced on social media on Sunday that he was appointing Governor Jeff Landry of Louisiana, a political ally, to the position. Denmark’s foreign minister quickly criticized the move as “totally unacceptable” and said he would summon the American ambassador in Copenhagen for an explanation.
It appeared to be the first time the United States had appointed a special envoy to Greenland. That gives the territory — a gigantic frozen island inhabited by fewer than 60,000 people — something in common with the war in Ukraine, the conflicts in the Middle East, and a handful of other issues; Mr. Trump has tapped someone close to him to manage all of these as priorities.
Mr. Landry quickly made it clear that he understood what Mr. Trump wanted from him, writing on X: “It’s an honor to serve you in this volunteer position to make Greenland a part of the U.S.”
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump wrote that “Jeff understands how essential Greenland is to our National Security.”
“You cannot annex other countries,” Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen of Denmark and Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen of Greenland said in a joint statement on Monday. “Not even by invoking international security. Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders, and the United States must not take over Greenland.”

TIL: In 1943, the US and Canada launched a massive invasion of a Japanese-held Alaskan island with 35,000 troops. However, the Japanese had secretly evacuated weeks earlier. In the fog and confusion, American and Canadian forces fought each other for hours, resulting in over 300 casualties.

🇷🇺 🇹🇷 🇺🇦 Analysis | Russia struck two Turkish-operated vessels near Odesa and framed the attacks as intentional warnings to Kyiv. Turkey responded by shooting down a Russian reconnaissance drone over the Black Sea.
Turkey is one of the few NATO states still providing Russia commercial and diplomatic space. Turkish ports handle oil products and dual-use components Russia struggles to source elsewhere. Turkish banks help navigate sanctions. Turkish firms keep Russian logistics chains running.
President Erdoğan publicly demanded Putin stop attacks on ports and energy infrastructure. Turkish officials warned against turning the Black Sea into a confrontation zone.
If Ankara rethinks this relationship, Russia faces slower trade, fewer loopholes, and tighter restrictions on the goods sustaining its war economy.

BREAKING:
🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Trump will NOT approve large-scale Israeli attacks on Iran - Israeli Channel 11
Despite that, Israel has prepared a comprehensive intelligence dossier to convince Trump on new Iran strike.
The paper contains Iran's ongoing efforts to rebuild its nuclear and ballistic programs, and efforts to arm its proxy groups - Israel Hayom.
Israel warned the US that an ongoing missile exercise and other unusual movements by Iran, especially of the IRGC, could be preparations for an attack against Israel - Axios.
