    “Ukraine launched a major nighttime attack on a dozen Russian regions, Russian-held Crimea and the surrounding seas, Moscow’s Defense Ministry said Friday, in what appeared to be one of Kyiv’s biggest drone assaults since the Kremlin’s full-scale invasion more than four years ago.

    Russian air defenses intercepted 660 Ukrainian drones, Russia’s Defense Ministry said. The previous biggest Ukrainian attack over the past year, as Ukraine has accelerated its drone development, involved 556 drones on May 17.

    In an effort to turn the tables on Russia’s grinding war of attrition, Ukrainian long-range drones have been battering oil production and energy facilities behind the front line and deep inside Russia.

    The campaign has choked Russian fuel supplies and military deliveries, stalling Moscow’s efforts on the battlefield, Western officials and analysts say, and has heaped pressure on Russian President Vladimir Putin.”

    US B team lost to Turkey 3-2 last night, Turkey scored with about 5 seconds left on the clock.

    Not too worried, the US played without 9 starters, it is a good team but the bench is not strong enough to be competitive in the WC.

    The good news was Hershey star Pulisic played for about 30 minutes and showed no sign of injury.

    “Today, Ambassador Bolton did what real leaders do,” Abbe Lowell, his lawyer, said in a statement. “He took responsibility for a mistake he made, thereby saving the government resources to pursue a case that could expose additional sensitive information.”

    Venezuela Earthquake news

    Some troubling unconfirmed reports say that President Trump was responsible for the devastating earthquake in VZ.

    They say it was done to deflect attention from the war against Iran, the huge Reflecting Poolhook scandal, the Mandami socialists allies winning in NYC, and of course, the Epstein files.

    Trump and his weathy spokesmen have so far NOT been able to provide any proof that Trump was not involved.

    Many long time Washington watchers say the fact that Trump hates all foreigners lends credence to these unconfirmed report that Trump is involved somehow in this tragedy….

    One planned activity in WI is for son and his family to take us out on Lake Superior on a 3 hour tour in the used boat he has purchased.

    I am sorry this is happening to Tina, Janzam and Chicon.

    “Writing on X, Zelenskyy said that FP-5 Flamingo missiles hit the Titan-Barrikady facility in Volgograd in southwestern Russia, describing it as a “major industrial complex” where Russia “produces artillery systems and specialized military equipment, including components for missile launch systems.”

    According to Ukraine’s General Staff, the facility manufactures equipment for missile systems, including self-propelled launchers and transport-loading vehicles for the Iskander-M missile system, which it said is “the same system Russia regularly uses to strike Ukrainian cities.”

    I am generally against a lot of crappy teams from Central America, ME, Africa and Asia getting to play in the WC so FIFA fatcats can get votes. So you get Curacao, Panama, Haiti, Qatar, Iran, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia etc. while 4 time champion Italy is out. So are other traditional teams like Poland, Hungary, Serbia, Denmark,Romania and of course Chile. Of the above Iran is still in contention, barely.

    Having said that, Ghana, South Africa, Cape Verde and Ivory Coast have played well, so it means Africa is gradually becoming a strong soccer continent.
