Are they still banned?

Because yeah Flynn is nuts. Prior to Trump's first term Obama warned him about Flynn. And hes only gone deeper down the rabbit hole since then.

I just follow General Mike Flynn (Trumps first NSA Director and a combat veteran) and Colonel Douglas McGregor who is on a lot of media and also has 30 years of military experience and when they seem very concerned and worried about this it doesn’t exactly give me a good feeling!

A follower of Flynn.

Satilite data is commercially available to the general public and businesses. It isn't the barrier you think it is.

It's also how these OSNT folks can confirm losses.

Many countries could launch a drone attack, including Iran and North Korea. It's also why this is so concerning. Drones are cheap compared to conventional armaments.

One article says the drones were all manufactured in Ukraine for a couple hundred euros each. The videos look like the drones are no bigger than what you would pick up off Amazon or Walmart.

So for around $25,000, Ukraine took out over $7B in Russian aircraft.

And we’re proposing to spend hundreds of billions if not a trillion on golden dome just so billionaire techies can become trillionaires.

He is a decorated war veteran and one of the smartest military minds out there! Yes Obama warned about Flynn because Flynn new where all the bodies were buried that is why Obama, Biden, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice, Sally Yates and others met in early January trying to figure out how they could get him OUT! Unfortunately they succeeded! He wasn’t a lowly National Guardsman like me who served eight years in the 45th (I know, weekend warriors, not real soldiers I have heard it a hundred times) but served in Vietnam, Gulf War I in 1991 and in Iraq!!!

Those are old artticles from 2021 and 2022, so I hope Flynn has peaked out with his conspiratol nonsense by now.

Thank you for your service.

IMO, Flynn is a conspiracy nutbar Christian Nationalist and one of the last persons I’d trust for reliable, non-biased intelligence analysis.

You do you by all means though.

MAGA podcaster and former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon threatens US Senator Lindsey Graham "We are going to put you under arrest" over Ukraine Support

The Hill reports MAGA podcaster and former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called for U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to be “arrested” if he doesn’t stop traveling overseas and encouraging Ukraine to defend itself against the ongoing Russian invasion.

Bannon, who has praised Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s anti-LGBTQ policies and his “anti-woke” agenda in Russia, was also furious at Ukraine’s weekend drone attack on Russia’s bombing fleet. The strategic attack destroyed 40 aircraft deep inside Russian territory. Bannon said the White House should condemn Ukraine’s military response to the invasion and put a collar on Graham’s diplomacy of encouragement.


“The White House has to condemn this immediately and pull all support and tell Lindsey Graham to come home or we are going to put you under arrest when you come home. You’re stirring it up,” Bannon said Monday on his ‘War Room’ podcast.

He added that Graham’s cheering of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky last week amounted to undermining President Donald Trump. He also slammed Graham’s legislation sanctioning Russia and other countries that buy Russian products.

“Lindsey Graham’s over there saying, ‘Hey, forget Trump. I got the House and the Senate. We’re going to pass [the legislation]. You’re going to see something in a couple of days,’” Bannon said.

“He’s stirring it up over there,” he repeated.

ahh, I think we have already seen some of this here

Trump silent on Ukraine drone attacks as MAGA blames "Deep State"​

MAGA influencers warned of dark forces at play — and the risk of dangerous escalation — as Ukraine celebrated a historic drone operation targeting Russia's bombing fleet.

Why it matters: President Trump has not publicly commented so far on Ukraine's stunning "Spiderweb" operation, in which more than 100 drones infiltrated air bases deep inside Russia and destroyed nuclear-capable bombers.

• MAGA's alarm over Ukraine's attack — and comparative silence when Russia targets Ukrainian civilians — underscores the movement's deep skepticism of the Western-backed government in Kyiv.
• While Trump seeks to present himself as a neutral mediator trying to bring broker peace, large swathes of his base see Ukraine — not Russia — as the enemy.

Driving the news: Ukraine's successful operation, which took 18 months to covertly plan, delivered a major strategic coup in a war that has otherwise been mired in stalemate and trench warfare.

• As Ukrainians and their allies praised the breakthrough, some MAGA influencers expressed suspicion and anger that Kyiv had not informed Trump about the operation ahead of time.
• At best, MAGA treated the attack as counterproductive to nascent peace talks; at worst, they feared an attempt by Ukraine and American "Deep State" actors to drag the U.S. further into the conflict.

State of play: Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have failed so far to persuade Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire. Peace talks at the staff level have yielded little progress beyond prisoner swaps.

• Top Trump administration officials — including the president himself, at times — have warned that the U.S. could walk away from the conflict completely if talks do not advance.

What they're saying: Pro-Trump influencer Jack Posobiec speculated on Steve Bannon's "War Room" Monday about whether the Biden administration could have been involved in the operation, given that planning began 18 months ago.

• "Seems very much on the interior of Russia. I sure hope America had nothing to do with it," said Charlie Kirk, a top MAGA activist with close White House ties.
• Rogan O'Handley, who runs the popular DC Draino X account, alleged, without evidence, that the attack was "intentionally conducted to drag America into WW3."

Dan Caldwell, a former top Pentagon official who advocates for "America First" foreign policy, warned that the operation "raises risk of direct confrontation between Russia and NATO."

• "U.S. should not only distance itself from this attack but end any support that could directly or indirectly enable attacks against Russian strategic nuclear forces," Caldwell wrote.

Between the lines: MAGA has been nothing if not consistent throughout the war, treating Zelensky as a "globalist" puppet and Ukraine as a backwater of corruption.

• Zelensky and any Ukrainian military operations against Russian troops have been met with hostility from MAGA for years.
• Meanwhile, Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure garner sporadic criticism from Trump, but mostly silence from his staunchest supporters.

The bottom line: Trump is facing pressure from multiple sides: Republican senators who want tougher sanctions on Russia, and an agitated MAGA base that sees Ukraine as the enemy.

Ukraine claims new underwater bomb attack on Russia's Crimean Bridge as Russia Launches drone strikes against multiple Ukraine Cities​

LONDON -- The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) on Tuesday claimed to have conducted a new attack on Russia's Kerch Strait Bridge -- which links occupied Crimea to Russia's Krasnodar Krai region -- two days after the service's dramatic drone strikes on Russia's strategic bomber fleet.


The SBU posted a video, photograph and statement to its official Telegram channel detailing the operation, which it said "lasted several months."

"SBU agents mined the supports of this illegal facility," the statement read. "And today, without any civilian casualties, at 4:44 am the first explosive device was activated."

"The underwater supports of the piers were severely damaged at the bottom level -- 1,100 kg of explosives in TNT equivalent contributed to this," the SBU said. "In fact, the bridge is in a state of emergency."

SBU chief Vasyl Malyuk said in a statement, "Previously, we hit the Crimean Bridge twice in 2022 and 2023. So, today we continued this tradition under water."

Meanwhile, at least seven people were killed and 27 were injured across Ukraine overnight into Tuesday as Russia continued long-range attacks on multiple cities, local officials said.

Ukraine's air force said it recorded 112 Russian drones launched into the country overnight, 75 of which were either shot down or neutralized in flight. The air force reported impacts in 11 locations across the country.


Most of the reported deaths were clustered in two northeastern regions of Ukraine, close to the front lines.

Three people were killed and 20 were injured by a Russian cluster rocket attack on the city of Sumy, local authorities said. At least five rockets landed in open areas of the city center, the Sumy Regional Administration said, including along a busy road filled with cars and morning commuters.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in a post to social media that the "savage strike" was a "fully deliberate attack on civilians."

Arresting politicians who disagree with the leader on issues.

Whew. So glad we aren't a dictatorship.

That drone attack has changed Russia’s official status on peace.

Only complete destruction of Ukrainian government. Non negotiable. War continues….

Institute for the Study of War

Kremlin officials publicly acknowledged that Russia seeks the “complete destruction” of Ukraine, indicating Moscow’s disinterest in good faith peace negotiations and a near-term resolution to the war.
