Renowned political scientist Professor John Mearsheimer disagrees with Trump on the Iran issue. He says the US is the one with no trump cards: "Trump is desperate. We're playing with a losing hand.
This would destroy far more than just the presidency. He knows it.
He threatened destruction because escalation failed. By evening, he's backing down.
Essentially, he's saying: I admit defeat!"
More strikes by Ukrainian kamikaze drones on the Russian Rakushechnoye and Yuri Korchagin drilling platforms in the Caspian Sea, more than 1,000 km from the line of contact.
The enemy drones were presumably controlled via Starlink.
It can be seen that the platforms were equipped with light air defense systems or man-portable air defense systems to protect them, which they used to attempt to shoot down the drones, but failed to repel the attack.

Ukrainian drones have again attacked targets in Russia at a depth of 1,000 km, using Starlink.
Elon Musk authorized these attacks.
When will there be a response? We need to shoot down all his fucking satellites.

Meanwhile, C-17 Globemaster III and C-5M Super Galaxy transport aircraft have begun active flights to and from the Middle East.
It's clear that the Americans are actively resupplying their ammunition and deploying reinforcements to the region, taking advantage of the ceasefire with Iran.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian parliament and the Islamic Republic's key negotiator, said: "Two conditions agreed upon by the parties have yet to be fulfilled: a ceasefire in Lebanon and the unfreezing of Iranian assets.
These conditions must be fully implemented before negotiations begin."

The leaders of China and the Kuomintang agreed to live in peace.
Chinese President Xi Jinping received Zheng Liwen, leader of Taiwan's main opposition party, the Kuomintang, on April 10. Beijing has invited representatives of this political force before, but no current party leader has met with Xi Jinping since 2016.
Details on the Ukrainian Armed Forces' "Martian" drone, which destroys Russian logistics at ranges of 50 km or more, from "bmpd_cast."
The Hornet loitering munition is manufactured by Swift Beat (USA) and developed by Eric Schmidt (former CEO of Google).
It uses autonomous inertial-optical odometry for navigation, an autonomous electro-optical target acquisition and recognition system using artificial intelligence, and non-standard encrypted data transmission frequencies, making the munition undetectable by standard radio frequency detectors and scanners and immune to electronic warfare.
The Hornet strikes its target at a high terminal velocity (over 200 km/h). The Hornet has a range of up to 145 km and a warhead weight of 4 kg.
The Hornet, like another similar munition, the Bumblebee, from the same manufacturer, is in service with the US Army.
Essentially, what we've been talking about from the very beginning. An advanced, large-scale industrial product.
The US isn't at war with Russia? Well, then, kiss 😡
Two Iranian planes are now on their way to Islamabad, Pakistan
Very likely the Iranian delegation. Unclear of the exact composition of said delegation.

The world's top terrorist, Trump, didn't destroy "an entire civilization" in Iran only thanks to the government's decision to negotiate! 🤡😈.

NEW: Negotiations between the U.S. and Iran in Islamabad, if they take place, will be indirect
Americans and Iranians will sit in seperate rooms, and Iran will not allow the U.S. to have a ‘photo-op’ with J.D. Vance and Iranian officials. – Al Arabiya

What did you think Trump needed these two weeks for? 🤡😡
Trump stated that the failure of negotiations with Iran would lead to new attacks on the republic and noted that American warships are already being equipped with the best munitions for this eventuality.
"We're in the process of resetting. We're loading ships with the best munitions, the best weapons ever created, even better than what we used before when we blew them away... And if we don't make a deal, we'll use them, and we'll use them very effectively," he told the New York Post.
According to the Ukrainian General Staff, UAVs attacked two oil drilling platforms in the Caspian Sea.
Notably, the operation of Ukrainian Starlink terminals in Russian territory has been confirmed.
Elon Musk is at war with Russia; well, we'll see how it ends.

JD Vance takes off for Iran peace talks in Pakistan:
'If the Iranians are willing to negotiate in good faith, we're wiling to extend an open hand
If they’re going to try to play us, they’re going to find the negotiating team is not receptive'
⚡️Sheikhs asked Ukrainian air defense specialists sent by Zelenskyy to the Middle East to leave — L'AntiDiplomatico
The publication reports that all five facilities defended by the Ukrainians were destroyed by Iran. Furthermore, Ukrainian air defense missiles hit two skyscrapers in the UAE while repelling the attack 😂
Putin will hold a meeting today on AI development, Peskov announced.
What else did the presidential press secretary say:
🔹Peace in Ukraine could come today if Zelensky makes a decision.
🔹The Kremlin has seen Zelensky's statement that Kiev will support the Easter truce announced by Putin.
🔹Kirill Dmitriev is visiting the United States, continuing contacts to resume economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington.
🔹RIA Novosti
Peace will come if Zelensky decides to capitulate. Peace will not come in any other case. It's clear that Zelensky can't make any such decisions. The last thing Zelensky promised was to "punch the Russians in the face," as far as I remember.
Yes, Zelenskiy is lying to Trump about his drones

The charismatic and popular Alex Jones on Trump (whom he recently supported):
- Five or six times a day, everything changes for him. "Wow, we won! It's over! Oh, no, it's never over! Only total annihilation! I won't let them take the Strait! Screw the Strait! I'm leaving NATO! No, we're staying in NATO!" You see, when people get dementia, this is exactly how they behave. Exactly the same.
A suspected act of sabotage is suspected in Antwerp, Europe's largest port, Belgium.
The port is closed.
An oil spill occurred as a result of damage to one of the tankers. The oil entered the Deurganckdok dock, spilled as far as the mouth of the Scheldt River, and contaminated several areas of the port of Antwerp.
Some local media outlets report that no vessels have been cleared to enter or exit the Deurganckdok within the port.
By what right does the US terrorize Cuba? 😡😈
"A truly remarkable event": the arrival of 100,000 tons of Russian oil in Cuba—amid the US blockade of fuel supplies—was a true celebration for local residents.

Starmer in UAE:
It's important that 'we stand with our long-standing allies and be here showing our support for them reflecting on the work we are doing together,
and to make sure the ceasefire is a permanent ceasefire and that the Strait of Hormuz is open...' 😂🤡
His son is fighting against Russia, providing Ukraine with communications and Starlink internet for attacks on Russia. Why is he so adored in Russia? 😡
"Elon Musk's father considers Putin a rational, stable leader, confident in his decisions," TASS reports.
