🇺🇸🇨🇺 — Donald Trump stated that he is “very inclined” to help the people of Cuba and recalled the massive support from Cuban Americans in Florida
❗️ The U.S. president said that the regime “has treated the population extremely badly” and promised to seek solutions to the humanitarian and energy crisis affecting the island.
Reporter: Are you confident that you can reach a diplomatic deal...
Trump: With Cuba? I think so.
Reporter: You can do that without changing the regime?
Trump: I can do that whether you change the regime or not. It has been a rough regime and they killed a lot of people. They can’t turn on the lights or eat. We don’t want to see that.

🪖⚡️ — Chair of the NATO Military Committee Giuseppe Cavo Dragone:
Drones are kind of a revolutionary issue on the battlefield. They are not the only weapon, but they will probably be the most prominent and influence the entire battlespace.
Probably in future confrontations they will be the very first thing involved in combat. What we basically learned is that they dramatically shrink the time of the killing cycle.
It becomes a matter of minutes — or even seconds — to detect, track, analyze, discover (identify), shoot, assess damage, and feed information into the next operation.

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸 — United States Congressional Research Service has issued a report claiming to be the total amount of US military aircrafts destroyed & damaged by Iran during the Iran War.
Destroyed:
24x MQ-9A “Reaper” UCAVs shot down by Iranian air defenses throughout the American-Israeli bombing campaign
4x F-15E “Strike Eagle” fighter jets; three shot down by Kuwaiti friendly fire on March 2, one shot down by Iranian air defenses on April 3
2x MC-130J “Commando II” special operations transport aircrafts, destroyed on the ground amidst the operation to rescue a stranded F-15E WSO on April 3
1x A-10C “Thundercat II” attack aircraft, shot down by Iranian air defenses on April 3
1x KC-135R/T “Stratotanker” aerial refueling aircraft, crashed due to an alleged friendly collision incident
1x MQ-4C “Triton”, crashed in a “mishap” into the Persian Gulf on April 9. This “mishap” was almost certainly the work of Iranian air defenses.
Damaged:
6x KC-135R/T “Stratotanker” aerial refueling aircrafts; one damaged by an alleged aerial collision incident on March 12, and five damaged by an Iranian missile strike against Prince Sultan Air Base on March 14.

❗️🇺🇸 - Heading for the midterm election with a historically unpopular President, the Republicans are looking to retain the House by redistricting.
The Republican gerrymandering is expected to yield up to 15 extra seats, with 2 more pending in Louisiana and South Carolina.
The Democrats managed to eke out only 6 seats in their counter-gerrymandering push. The latest blow for the Democrats came as the Supreme Court of the state of Virginia struck down their redistricting attempt which could have resulted in 4 additional seats.
Net gerrymandering would theoretically give the GOP at least a 9-seat advantage in a 435-seat House of Representatives. Republicans are currently holding an ineffective majority in the House, with their thin margin exacerbated by numerous dissenters.

🇺🇸- After eight attempts, the U.S. Senate has finally advanced a War Powers Resolution limiting military activities in Iran, passing it by a vote of 50-47. Four Republicans voted in favor: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul, while Democrat John Fetterman broke with his party to vote against.
@GeoPWatch
———-
🇺🇸- The resolution will now proceed to a full Senate vote. If it passes there, it moves to the House of Representatives, where it would need to pass as well.
➡️ If both chambers pass it, it then goes to Donald Trump, who would almost certainly veto it given his position on the Iran conflict.
➡️ To override a presidential veto, both the Senate and the House would need a two-thirds majority, a very high bar that would require a significant number of Republicans to break with Trump, which is considered unlikely given the current political climate.

Food prices posted the largest month-to-month increase in four years in April as energy volatility starts to hit.
Growing a garden is a FANTASTIC investment: in finances, in health, and in liberty!
Food prices jumped 0.7% in April alone (up 2.9% year-over-year), the largest month-to-month increase in four years. “Higher freight and energy costs are just starting to impact the rise in consumer food prices, but it could take up to six months or more for costs to fully reflect the current environment.”
Tomatoes have had the largest run-up in prices, 15 percent higher since March and 30 percent above February. Even the NYTimes is saying “Tomato prices are soaring“.
