Asbery’s speculative theory on these drones:
This is becoming like the Iranian drone mothership hoax during the UFO/drone scare in New Jersey last year. Now this could be a standard NATO linked psyop to create support and attention to the Ukraine war, but perhaps it also an attempt to find justification for controlling traffic near the Danish straits to engage in economic warfare.
It should be no coincidence that that the Danish government is using the Iranian drone mothership hoax to point out boats engaging in Russian trade. Anyone with half a brain knows you could could at any hour find numerous boats engaged in trade with Russia crossing the straits, the Port of Saint Petersburg alone had 26 cargo vessel arrive in the last 24 hours.
The EU and the media has been desperately trying to find ways to cripple Russia’s robust economy knowing its inevitable that Ukraine will lose a war of attrition. The Danish straits are a major chokepoint that would require some pretext to utilize.

The DPRK is in the final stage of developing an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of striking the United States.
This was stated by South Korean President Lee Jae-myung, according to Yonhap.
"North Korea appears to have enough nuclear weapons necessary to maintain its regime, and Pyongyang only needs to complete the development of reentry technology and the creation of intercontinental ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads capable of reaching the continental United States," Lee said at the "Korean Investors Summit" forum.

Germany's Robert Bosch will cut 13,000 jobs as the world's top autos supplier battles a sluggish market, high costs and pressure from rivals that have left it with an annual cost gap of 2.5 billion euros ($2.9 billion), it said on Thursday.
It will cut jobs at various German locations on various timelines until the end of 2030, it said. Significant overcapacity have existed for some time in administration and sales, and in development and production due to the drop in demand, it said.
Bosch had already announced 9,000 layoffs since last year and other automotive suppliers, including Schaeffler and Continental, have also laid off thousands.
And in the long-run, carmakers are increasingly looking to source components from local partners when they sell abroad, threatening the need for car parts made in Germany.
"The trend towards localisation is unstoppable," Markus Heyn — head of Bosch Mobility, the auto unit — told the Stuttgarter Zeitung newspaper earlier this month.
In other words we are hiring in China or the US. Merz must enjoy all this winning.

"Only as a last resort": The Supreme Defense Council of Romania has decided whether to shoot down aircraft violating the country's airspace.
This was reported by the country's Minister of National Defense, Ionuț Moșteanu, as quoted by TVR.
Thus, if military aircraft violate the country's airspace, the decision on actions will be made by the mission commander, following all NATO rules for intercepting military aircraft.
According to Moșteanu, the use of weapons and the destruction of such an aircraft is a "last resort, a measure of last instance, if all other steps are ignored, and the aircraft is not identified and does not leave Romanian airspace."
If it concerns civilian aircraft, the decision will still be made by the Minister of Defense.
During the meeting, the Supreme Defense Council of Romania also approved a protocol for responding to drones illegally crossing the country's airspace. On the agenda was, in particular, the identification of objects requiring protection measures against drones.

Ukrainian men aged 25-60 who are not registered will be automatically registered, the Ministry of Defense reports.
According to the department, the government has decided to automate the registration and deregistration of citizens for military records.
"All male citizens of Ukraine aged 25 to 60 who were not registered for military service without legal grounds will be automatically registered. This will reduce the number of manual operations and the need to visit the Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRC)," the Ministry of Defense states.
Also, according to this decision, the registration of pre-conscripts at 17 years old is now possible remotely through the "Reserve+" app. Undergoing a medical examination is not mandatory.

Military personnel are massively deserting both in Ukraine and while training abroad due to distrust of the military-political leadership, said former commander of the 155th brigade Dmitry Ryumshin, who is under suspicion for the mass desertion of his subordinates, in an interview with "Censor.net".
In addition to distrust of the authorities, which he considers the main factor, he listed 7 more reasons for the mass desertion.
- the actual absence of punishment for desertion, since there is exemption from punishment in case of the first desertion
- law enforcement agencies do not actually search for deserters, and those who are caught bear no responsibility, not even administrative;
- lack of fixed terms for soldiers' service during martial law;
- mobilization of people who tried to evade military service or had low motivation;
- the practice of taking motivated personnel from one military unit to other units. People in the units thought they would be thrown into battle without training. In fact, this later happened;
- sending personnel who completed training abroad to the combat zone by order of the Western Operational Command without commanders, directly from the border. The brigade and battalion headquarters and management were still training in France, while the personnel went to the Pavlograd area;
- constant sending of the headquarters to long-term exercises (the same ones three times), which affected the quality of management and work with personnel.

US Secretary of Defence War Hegseth has ordered hundreds of American generals and admirals from around the world to urgently gather in Virginia next week, without specifying the reason, The Washington Post reports citing sources.
This "has sown confusion and anxiety following the dismissal by the Trump administration of numerous senior leaders this year." The Pentagon told WP that there is no need to worry about this.
This unusual directive was received by almost all senior military officials worldwide amid the looming government shutdown and several months after Hegset's team announced plans for a large-scale consolidation of the senior military command.
None of WP's interlocutors recalled the Secretary of Defense ever ordering such a large number of generals and admirals to assemble in this manner. Some said it raises security concerns.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz supported the EU initiative to provide Ukraine with an interest-free loan of almost 140 billion euros using frozen Russian assets to strengthen the country's defense capabilities, Bloomberg writes.
Merz believes that the funding "should send a clear signal to Moscow and ensure Ukraine's military resilience for several years." The loan will be repaid after Russia compensates for the damage (noting that so far, Russia's agreement to compensate in any way seems highly unlikely).
The agency notes that this is a change in Germany's position, which previously refrained from assessing the confiscation of assets from the perspective of international law.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been sentenced to five years in jail after being found guilty of criminal conspiracy in a case related to millions of euros of illicit funds from the late Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi.
The Paris criminal court acquitted him of all other charges, including passive corruption and illegal campaign financing.
The ruling means he will spend time in jail even if he launches an appeal, which Sarkozy says he intends to do.
Speaking after Thursday's hearing, the 70-year-old, who was president from 2007-12, said the verdict was "extremely serious for rule of law".
Sarkozy, who claims the case is politically motivated, was accused of using the funds from Gaddafi to finance his 2007 election campaign.
In exchange, the prosecution alleged Sarkozy promised to help Gaddafi combat his reputation as a pariah with Western countries.
Sarkozy could be sent to prison in Paris in the coming days – a first for a former French president and a humiliating blow for a man who has always protested his innocence in this trial and the other legal cases against him.
"What happened today... is of extreme gravity in regard to the rule of law, and for the trust one can have in the justice system," Sarkozy said outside the court building.
Since losing his re-election bid in 2012, Sarkozy has been targeted by several criminal investigations.
He also appealed against a February 2024 ruling which found him guilty of overspending on his 2012 re-election campaign, then hiring a PR firm to cover it up. He was handed a one-year sentence, of which six months were suspended.
In 2021, he was found guilty of trying to bribe a judge in 2014 and became the first former French president to get a custodial sentence. In December, the Paris appeals court ruled that he could serve his time at home wearing a tag instead of going to jail.
Sarkozy as we posted recently criticized Macron's handling of the Ukraine war.

Trump and Orban spoke by phone after the US president promised to ask Hungary to stop purchasing Russian oil, Bloomberg reports.
Foreign Minister Szijjártó said they discussed energy, the war in Ukraine, the global economy, and tariffs. He did not provide other details of the conversation.
Earlier, Szijjártó said that Hungary will not stop purchasing Russian oil and gas.
Orban's chief of staff stated that, according to IMF calculations, abandoning Russian gas under the European Commission's plan (by 2027) will cost Hungary 4% of GDP or 10 billion dollars, according to Economx (Trump, however, calls for abandoning it even earlier).
And this will strike a blow to the country's energy security. The Adriatic oil pipeline through the Balkans, which European authorities intend as an alternative to Russian supplies, will not withstand the additional load.

The US scrambled F-16 fighters yesterday to intercept four Russian military aircraft near Alaska, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
Two Tu-95 bombers and two Su-35 fighters were flying in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone - this is international airspace but borders the sovereign airspace of the US and Canada.
The US launched four F-16s along with an E-3 airborne early warning and control aircraft and tankers to "accurately identify and intercept" the Russian planes.
The command states that Russian military activity in the air defense zone is routine and is not considered a threat.
An ADIZ is whatever a country wants to make it, it could be the entire world if you wanted to, as it is not recognized in international law. Some countries have overlapping ADIZ's. Sometimes the media reports this as a countries airspace which is false.

Unknown UAVs recently circled over military facilities in Murmellon-le-Grand, France, reports Radio France Internationale citing official military sources.
It is reported that these were small devices, "not drones piloted by military personnel."
Currently, there is no reason to believe that this could have been the result of foreign interference, the publication writes.

▪️Earlier, these arguments were made by Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, with whom Trump spoke.
▪️Before that, Trump stated that Orban would refuse to buy Russian oil after talking with him.
▪️At the same time, Trump said today that Turkey is ready to give up buying Russian oil (he met with Erdogan today).

Russia will destroy all Ukrainian infantry if Ukraine does not compensate for the lag behind Russia in drones, says UAV expert and Ukrainian military officer Yuriy Kasyanov, commenting on the article by former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny about new trends on the battlefield.
"The main idea of the entire article, as I understand it, is that modern drone warfare has changed the nature of positional warfare, that very 'deadlock' that Zaluzhny wrote about earlier, on the eve of his resignation. Almost two years have passed, and the former Commander-in-Chief is analyzing the current situation retrospectively. The classic positional war with long-term fortifications, limited opportunities for maneuver and breakthrough no longer exists. We have lost the main advantage of defense, when small forces can hold back the onslaught of a superior enemy. Drones are to blame for everything, because now the advantage in drones is on the enemy's side both quantitatively and qualitatively. The enemy controls the sky. Under these conditions, a shortage of manpower, resource deficits, and growing technological lag can have catastrophic consequences for our entire defense. If we do not seriously and fully commit to eliminating the technological lag, and do not find effective weapons against enemy drones, do not close the sky, our small infantry will simply perish at certain positions they occupy in small groups—either because they will all be killed by drones, or because drone attacks will kill the logistics," Kasyanov states.
In his opinion, solving this problem is very difficult.
"This is a very difficult task. To surpass a resource-rich enemy who has a developed (compared to us) defense industry, engineering and design base, is impossible by the efforts of individual, small private companies that lack sufficient funding and do not rely on a developed industry. Even the court-affiliated Fire Point cannot do this, no matter how much partner money is poured into it and whatever support it receives from the top state officials," writes Kasyanov.
He believes that to accomplish such a large-scale task, a unification of private companies and state capabilities is needed, with the appointment of someone specifically responsible for implementing this task, otherwise "we will lose everything."
Recall that Zaluzhny wrote in his article that the front line has ceased to be continuous, and the Russians use this to infiltrate separate groups of their troops deep into Ukrainian defenses.
"The strike zone of both strike UAVs and artillery acting jointly is constantly expanding. The recent destruction of civilian transport on the Slavyansk-Izyum and Slavyansk-Barvenkovo routes confirms that the precise strike zone is constantly expanding. It is clear that this leads not only to the destruction of logistics routes but also to the gradual disappearance of the concept of the rear, because its traditional placement behind battle formations at a distance of less than 40 kilometers is no longer possible due to constant enemy fire control. As a result, the defense is gradually transforming from active holding of positions, operating in coordination with other echelons and reserves and fire means, into the survival of small groups constantly pressured both by remote reconnaissance-strike means and by infiltration of small infantry groups. Consequently, such a defense structure leads to the blurring of what seems to be a continuous front line, and sometimes to an actual misunderstanding of the real definition of one's positions along defense boundaries. So the Russians have invented another solution to overcome the positional deadlock. This is the so-called infiltration—infiltration of individual servicemen and enemy infantry groups deep into our defense through gaps in battle formations. We clearly saw all this in the example of the Dobropolye salient, Pokrovsk, and already Kupyansk," Zaluzhny wrote.

India told the US that it may reduce oil purchases from Russia if purchases from other sanctioned suppliers—Iran and Venezuela—are allowed, Bloomberg reports citing sources.
Otherwise, the simultaneous cessation of oil supplies from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela to India could lead to a sharp rise in global prices.
India's Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal recently stated that they want to increase purchases of American oil and gas.
