Armin Papperger, of the Reichsmetall (intentional) fame, sings:
Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja,
Stets lustig, heissa, hopsassa!
Ich Vogelfänger bin bekannt
Bei alt und jung im ganzen Land.
Weiß mit dem Locken umzugehn,
Und mich aufs Pfeifen zu verstehn.
Drum kann ich froh und lustig sein,
Denn alle Vögel sind ja mein.
Good luck, you’ll need it, Papagei.

Macron has been trapped (another strange interaction video)
At the European summit in Albania, journalists caught a moment when Erdogan started patting Macron on the hand in the style "who's boss here?"
The brave Emmanuel thought he was a man for a second and decided to respond with the same technique - but got into trouble.
Erdogan did not miss the oportunity: he caught the Frenchman by the finger, shook it - and when he got tired of it, he let him go.

AMERICAN AIRCRAFT CARRIER HARRY TRUMAN LEAVES THE RED SEA
The US aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman was spotted yesterday as it crossed the Suez Canal, exiting the Red Sea after a costly air campaign against Houthi forces.
The Houthis continue to control Yemen and cut off the vital supply route of the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, and are still waiting to be explained why the USA don't have public healthcare.

The Mexican Navy sail training ship ARM Cuauhtemoc (BE-01) collided with the Brooklyn Bridge.
The ship's masts were significantly damaged and more than ten sailors were injured.
There were over 200 passengers on board, and a rescue operation is currently underway at the scene.
The Mexican ship reportedly arrived in New York on a celebratory visit on Tuesday to celebrate Mexico's Independence Day.

What do Russian soldiers at the front listen to when they have a moment to put on their headphones?
More and more we are seeing that the current conflict will end not through negotiations, but with military victory. It will take time, and to pass that time we listen to music which warms our inner Slavic warrior.

The Russian economic miracle is going to be the rebuilding of the Ukrainian frontierland. Mark my words.
There is no turning back. The frontier has to be moved as far west as possible, and the liberated territories—rebuilt.
The engine of the world economy is not technology. It is the construction of dwellings. Ask China. Or the US.
Technology comes to those who have homes. The newer the homes, the more advanced the technology.
Onwards, soldiers, you are building your Motherland’s future.

🇺🇦🤡 Scandal in the Armed Forces of Ukraine: The commander of the "meat" battalion of the 47th brigade submitted a report on dismissal due to large losses and "stupid generals"
- The Magura battalion commander declares unacceptable tasks, unjustified loss of people and harshly criticizes the actions of the command.
- "All they are capable of is reprimands, investigations, and the imposition of penalties. Political games and assessment of the real state of affairs do not correspond to either reality or possibilities. They have gone too far," Shirshin writes.
- He noted that the corresponding report had been written and expressed hope that he would be removed from his post in the near future.

🇱🇹Lithuania sees need to expand NATO mission in Baltic Sea
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys said NATO's mission in the Baltic Sea needs to be expanded following this week's incident off the coast of Estonia involving a tanker from Russia's "shadow fleet."
According to him, the incident, during which Russian fighter jets escorted the Jaguar tanker and prevented Estonian authorities from conducting an inspection, shows Russia's readiness to use military force to protect civilian ships.
NATO insists on increasing the number of German troops from approximately 180,000 to 240,000-260,000 by 2030, but German armed forces personnel consider these figures unrealistic, the Welt newspaper reported on Saturday.

Mexican Navy tall ship Cuauhtémoc lost power.
The tide was coming in from a low tide at 6:53 PM to a high tide at 1:25 AM. So this was about three after low tide, with a 1 M rise in the river.
The river floods north and east, so it is heading toward the Brooklyn Bridge from the South Street Seaport.
The tug Charles D McAllister was on hand to assist her departure from South Street Seaport.

At least three Mexican Navy sailors are in critical condition.

An Italian newspaper reports that the 11th aid package from Italy could include 400 M113 tracked armored personnel carriers.
Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto has confirmed that his country intends to send aid to Kiev.
Italians are sending some junk to buy new stuff from Italian companies, likely getting compensated by the EU in the process.

Germany will produce the ATACMS, PAC-3, GMLRS, Hellfire and JAGM missiles.
The German concern Rheinmetall, in cooperation with the American corporation Lockheed Martin, plans to begin producing a wide range of American missile weapons in Europe, said the concern's CEO Armin Papperger.
According to Papager, negotiations are currently underway to create a joint venture with the Americans, since production facilities located in the United States are no longer able to meet European demand.
He estimates the current annual requirement to be:
▪️ 600-800 MGM-140 ATACMS ballistic missiles;
▪️ 2500 GMLRS tactical missiles;
▪️5000 AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles;
▪️5,200 AGM-179 JAGM air-to-surface missiles;
▪️250-300 PAC-3 anti-aircraft missiles for the MIM-104 Patriot air defense system.
According to the head of Rheinmetall, the new enterprise will have to produce up to 10,000 different missiles and the same number of rocket engines per year .
The launch of the production line for engines is planned for next year, 2026, and the production of various rockets with increasing capacity will gradually be launched in 2027, 2028 and 2029.

Russia won't return to talks with Ukraine before October, summer offensive ahead — DW
▪️Russia is well aware that during the 30 days of a potential ceasefire, the Ukrainians will prepare more fortifications and prepare more drones.
▪️Until there is a stalemate on the front, no one will sit down at the negotiating table.
▪️This will probably not happen before October, after the summer offensive that Russia is planning, the publication writes.
Western media still thinks we are in a war of movement, even if there was a stalemate that would not stop Russia. Russia has a population that is 5 times greater than Ukraine and even more productive capacity. This about attrition of Ukrainian men and equipment, any advances in territory are just a bonus.

The European Union's "Anti-Russian War Crimes Tribunal": Dead on Arrival, or Money Laundering?
With the commotion caused by the "Peace Talks" in Turkey, it is easy to forget that on May 9 the "Collective West" reunited in Kiev and decided to establish a "Special Tribunal" to prosecute Russian officials for the war in Ukraine. So, does this tribunal have any real authority, or is it just empty spectacle to virtue signal and launder some more money?
First, we must understand that by the Eurocrats' own admission, this special "Tribunal" is aimed to collect evidence and aid the case launched against Russia by the ICC, and according to the ideators of this insanity (who were probably high on some of the Narkoman's "secret stash" at the time), it should be as big an event as the Nuremberg Trials. The problem is that this idea is defacto impossible to realise for a plethora of reasons. Here are a few:
1) Nuremberg actually had suspects in custody to put under trial. The only way for this special commission to question and trial Russian statesmen and commanders is to have them arrested, and have direct access to Russian registries and databases. The only way to do so is for Russia to be strategically defeated and Moscow occupied. It's safe to say that this is not going to happen at all.
2) The ICC isn't a globally-recognized body. Not every country adhered to the Rome Statute, and while Russia did, it withdrew its support later on. China and India do not adhere to it either. In addition to that, the ICC has lost so much credibility after its "selective enforcement" of its rules that even the countries that nominally adhere to it have little reason to.
3) As factious and skewed as the ICC already is, this "special tribunal" seems even more unbalanced. While this tribunal is to be created in The Hague and have a panel of international judges and prosecutors, it will be simultaneously under the jurisdiction of the Council of Europe, and also act as a countination of the Ukrainian judicial system. So the right to a fair trial already goes out of the window, officially. Legally speaking - and this is important as the Kremlin is big on legality and law - this vaunted "tribunal" would defacto be Ukrainian, so all of its pretenses of having international jurisdiction have the same staying power of three lines of fairy dust on Zelensky's table.
4) Even if it was objective, it could still be easily ignored. Why? Because the only charge that could be brought up against the Russian Federation would realistically be that of having initiated a conflict without approval from the UN. And on that regard, it's already generous to merely state that the Collective West has a far longer and dirtier track record than the Russian Federation. Have the USA ever been charged for their invasion of Grenada and Iraq? What about the United Kingdom and France with Yugoslavia and Libya? We rest our case.
5) The Russian Federation has an excellent team of international lawyers: they're called Sarmat, Avangard, Oreshnik, Iskander, and Onyx. And the ICC's headquarters at The Hague are well within their shouting range.
An important point is to be raised here: why is there a need to create an entire new structure and add it to an already overbloated gamut of organisations, agencies, "special tribunals", or whatever else? Why can't the ICC do this itself, for what it is worth? And most importantly, why does this "special tribunal" have an estimated yearly budget of 60 million euros? Are these millions of euros going to pay for gold-plated cadillacs for the judges and prosecutors, are they going to be laundered away, or is it just a clever way of buying more weapons while cooking the books?

n May 17 at 7:23, the satellites of the second experimental mission of BYURO 1440, Rassvet-2, were launched into Earth orbit. They became a space laboratory for testing technological solutions that form the basis of our target satellite group.
In a year we not only completed the planned flight test program, but also significantly expanded it:
🟣 For the first time in Russia, an inter-satellite laser communication session was conducted. Over 400 GB of information was transmitted between spacecraft at a distance of 1000+ km at a speed of 10 Gbit/sec
🟣 First to confirm 5G protocol stack functionality on satellites
🟣 We have worked out the procedures for pointing the antennas of the gateway radio unit to implement the air-to-ground channel in the Ka-band
🟣 We confirmed the functionality of navigation systems and solar batteries of our own design.
Ahead of this year is the first mass launch of dozens of serial spacecraft developed by BURO 1440 to form a target low-orbit group and start providing new generation satellite communications services.

The New York Times found out what Russian soldiers think about the idea of a ceasefire:
Many Russian soldiers say they would see a cease-fire along the current front lines as a failure, hinting at the nationalist discontent the Kremlin could face in accepting a cease-fire.
🇷🇺🇺🇸 Putin did not even want to consider the 22-point plan prepared by the US, Europeans and Kiev, which Witkoff wanted to present to him - Financial Times
- The 22-point plan was discussed in detail in a phone call between Ukrainian and US officials, according to FT sources. Ukraine was represented by Zelenskyy's chief of staff Yermak and Ukrainian Defense Minister Umerov, while the US was represented by Whitkoff, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's special envoy to Kiev Keith Kellogg.
- According to the publication, after Putin refused to discuss this plan, Witkoff cancelled his trip to Moscow last work week (May 12–16).
