    No, I had not seen that. But two points:

    First, if China really could see our stealth aircraft (when they are operating as stealth aircraft), then the smart move would be not to tell us. The only reason to say this out loud is for deterrence purposes.

    Second, China has no idea, nor could they, when these aircraft are operating under stealth conditions. Most often, they are not and are (deliberately) easy to see on radar or with infrared. If China wants to make war plans based on how our aircraft operate under peacetime conditions, then so much the better.

    Just saw in a press statement from Saudi Arabia that the President is lifting the ban on aid and intelligence to Ukraine. It looks like they have agreed on people to attend the peace talks.

    Watching the interview with Rubio, apparently Ukraine has agreed to 30 day cease fire pending Russia agreeing to it as well.

    So you're saying that you are naive enough to believe that Ukraine cyber-attacked Twitter servers? Because they have nothing better to do?

    Encouraging news! especially as Ukraine agreed to the cease-fire and we’re turning back-on our support to Ukraine. And Rubio put the monkey on Putin’s back with his “it’s up to Russia for peace”. Maybe Rubio went back to being able to stand up to Putin with Dear Leader out of his way and doing infomercials in front of the WH. Also didn’t see JD Vance and his negotiation-wrecking insults there, which I’m sure help.

    80% of Ukrainians support Zelensky and would die to the last man for him.

    The other 20% live in Ukraine.
