The drone attack against an Israeli-managed oil tanker last week revealed Israel’s soft underbelly at sea, and forces its leadership to consider how to retaliate. Had Prime Minister Naftali Bennett been Israel’s defense minister or just a member of its Security Cabinet, he would have surely banged on the table …

Ne perversmo, ne: įstatymo numatyta tvarka, Seimo pavedimu, paskirti kariškių Vyriausybę, išleidus dabartinį kabinetą apmokamų atostogų (jei nori savanoriauti, žinoma, gali padėti, nebent jie būtų iš Laisvės partijos – tuos į Nidą bent dešimčiai dienų ir kiekvienam po kebabą). Nes Lietuvoje yra karo metas. Pats tikriausias karo metas. Apibrėžtam laikui …

The British navy says of Tuesday’s hijacking of a ship off in the Gulf of Oman, following a loss of steering control reported by at least six ships in the area, that the “incident [is] complete.” Clearly, it isn’t.

Biden officials’ claims that the US doesn’t ‘seek conflict’ is belied by pushes to continually one-up Beijing’s defenses.
