Last night Russia launched a large scale attack on Ukraine, with a specific focus on airbases and airports in Kyiv oblast.

Initial numbers are reported to be:

• 12 Iskander-M ballistic missiles
• 4 Iskander-K, ground launched Kalibr cruise missiles.
• 2 Kinzhal air launched ballistic missiles
• 50-100 Shahed/Geran one way attack drones on Kyiv oblast.

Update with Ukrainian numbers:

• 539 one way attack drones of various types and decoys across the whole country (over 330 of them were Shahed/Geran)
• 1 Kinzhal air launched ballistic missile
• 6 Iskander-M or KN-23 ballistic missiles.
• 4 Iskander-K ground launched Kalibr cruise missiles

Main targets were Vasylkiv Airbase and Zhuliany International Airport. Why this large scale attack on airbases and airports? I'd guess that the capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force are being revived, as they receive more F-16AM fighter jets. As more of the 80+ F-16s arrive, more of Ukraine's MiG-29s and Su-27s can be freed up from defensive duties to offensive ones, and the F-16s can carry out offensive missions themselves. There has been more and more footage of the Ukrainian Air Force carrying out strike missions, and Ukrainian strike packages are getting more sophisticated, with more aircraft available to provide cover for the aircraft carrying out strikes. There have also been some costly Russian losses in radars for the S-400 air defence system, with the Pantsir point defence system again failing to shoot down one way attack drones approaching the S-400 radars, and some more SBU attacks on Russian airfields with FPV drones, Russian milblogger FighterBomber confirmed the damage to multiple Su-34s. The capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force are becoming more of an issue for Russia, a Russian Su-35 was even shot down a few weeks ago. Ukraine has also now launched multiple Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG stealth cruise missile attacks over the past few days, the first in months, which have hit targets in Russia itself. The Ukrainian Air Force also shot down double the amount of aerial targets in June vs May, over 600 vs 300, mostly one way attack drones and cruise missiles. The focus here is not in the numbers (likely inaccurate), but the ratio of June vs May.

With this in mind, it's quite obvious why Russia is now attacking forward air bases and airports in Kyiv. The capabilities of the Ukrainian Air Force are becoming more of a concern, strike now before it becomes a more serious issue.

A "Mechanism Of Oppression": Danish University Shutters Room For Quiet Comtemplation Amid Islamophobic Panic

A small, windowless room in the provincial city of Odense has somehow become a national threat to Denmark. Last week, the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) announced it would permanently close its so-called "contemplation room", a quiet space where students might pray, meditate, or simply sit alone with their thoughts.

To the casual observer, this might appear to be an administrative footnote. But in Denmark, a country increasingly captivated by islamophobic hysteria, even the muffled rustle of a prayer mat can apparently echo like a war drum through the corridors of power. The room had already been under temporary closure since February. Now, it is gone for good, officially on the grounds that a university should concern itself with "research and education," not "individual contemplation or reflection."

Elon Musk Forms a New Political Party to Challenge Trump and the Republicans

Say what you will about but at least when he has an idea, he goes all out even if its the dumbest idea ever conceived

It would be cool if this was auto-sorted by new? Anyway;

Senate votes 53-47 to adopt “current policy baseline” to treat $3.8 trillion in Trump tax cut extensions as costing $0. Every Republican votes YES. This hasn’t been used before in filibuster-proof process to meet targets, and will change how future Senate majorities use it.

My understanding is that the budget passed through reconciliation CAN'T be filibustered as long as it is budget neutral. If parts of it aren't budget neutral, they can be filibustered. The GOP Senate voted to declare that the $3.8 trillion that isn't budget neutral actually is budget neutral. So instead of dealing with CBO scores and the Parliamentarian (and voting down their opinion pieces, something that the COULD do), they are just declaring that their bill meets the imaginary target and moving on. Like I always say, if you actually have 51 votes in the Senate, you can do anything you want.

This seems to have flown under the radar, but I think it's pretty significant. Iran's government has switched to using China's BeiDou satellite navigation system. Firm details are in short supply, but my own (possibly wildly incorrect) reading from the various articles is that Iran's government now has access to the more precise military version of BeiDou, and is possibly directing its agencies to disable the use of the American-run GPS in government-issued devices. I doubt that GPS is being actively jammed.

in US procurement news, U.S. is Falling Short on 155mm Artillery Shell Production: Current Output and 1 Million Goal Timeline

Although significant efforts to ramp up artillery ammunition production — efforts that have cost billions of dollars — the U.S. has still not reached its planned output targets. As of June 2025, the total monthly production volume of 155mm artillery rounds stands at 40,000 units. This was reported by John Reim, head of the U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office for Ammunition and Armaments, in an interview with Defense One. According to the Pentagon’s plans announced in February 2024, the target for April 2025 was set at 75,000 rounds per month, with a goal of reaching 100,000 by October 2025. However, despite the current rate of 40,000 155mm rounds per month, the U.S. Army remains confident it will reach the target in early 2026. This means the U.S. will be able to produce more than 1 million 155mm artillery rounds only in 2026.

As Defense Express notes, it is crucial not to confuse a round with a projectile. The figure of 40,000 refers to the number of 155mm projectiles, a level the U.S. reached back in September 2024, according to a Pentagon report. However, a complete round also includes a propellant charge and a fuze. According to that report, while 40,000 projectiles were produced, only 18,000 charges (likely meaning full sets) were made. In other words, as of September 2024, the U.S. was effectively producing just 18,000 complete 155mm artillery rounds per month. In the eight months since then, the U.S. defense industry has managed to double complete round production — a notable achievement. Still, the major gap in charge production compared to projectiles is due to a shortage of propellant and the fact that the U.S. had no domestic production.

Currently, all U.S. artillery charges are manufactured at the Valleyfield facility near Montreal, Canada, which is owned by General Dynamics. However, production is being relocated to the U.S. at new American Ordnance plants in Middletown, Iowa, and Camden, Arkansas, where another General Dynamics facility will also be built. In parallel with expanding shell body production and increasing the capacity for filling them with explosives — which remains a challenge, as 100,000 shells per month would require 66,000 tons of explosives, much of which is currently imported — these developments will enable the U.S. to eventually reach the target of producing 100,000 complete 155mm rounds per month.

So, it's up to 40,000 projectiles - that's from 14,400 at in 2022, which is not even an extra 30,000 in 3-and-a-half years, and they're supposed to get to 100,000 by next year . For comparison, the daily usage by Russia is 10-20k, with a peak of 60k some time ago.

But wait, it gets better - it seems like production may have actually gone down from last year

"I am truly in shock": Danish Regime Propagandist Has Public Meltdown Over Festival Chants For Palestinian Liberation

Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network is launching a new zine, “What to do when you, too, become a ‘terrorist'” — inspired by our own experience being banned in Germany and being labeled a “Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT)” by the United States and a “terrorist entity” by Canada, and by the ongoing attempts of the British state to proscribe Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organization.

Of course, it is also influenced by the years of state repression targeting a wide array of liberation struggles and movements, from the Black Liberation Movement to Indigenous warriors to Puerto Rican independentistas, not to mention the designation of Palestinian, Lebanese, Yemeni, Iranian, Filipino and other resistance organizations as “terrorists” by the imperialist powers.

The Democratic party are showing themselves to be a disfuncional party. That said, I have a question: How likely is the Democratic party to collapse?

If the Dems end up collapsing, IMO that's the best possible outcome for the political left wing, considering that:

a) The democrats usually are more attuned to the needs of the national and international bourgeoisie in material terms.

And

b) The democrats are the only left wing outlet today, so them collapsing provides an opening for a proper left wing party to gain prominence.

Trump-backed bill may slap 500% tariffs on nations trading with Russia including India, China

Trump tariff bill Russia India China: The bill, which the Republican Senator said now has 84 co-sponsors, aims to pressure countries like India and China to stop purchasing oil and other goods from Russia, thereby weakening its war economy and pushing Moscow to negotiate peace in Ukraine.

The Indian Express ^01/07/25^

Trade war India China Russia: US President Donald Trump has approved the introduction of a Senate bill that would impose a 500 per cent tariff on countries continuing to trade with Russia, including India and China, Senator Lindsey Graham said in an interview published Sunday.

“Big breakthrough here. So what does this bill do? If you’re buying products from Russia and you’re not helping Ukraine, then there’s a 500 percent tariff on your products coming into the United States. India and China buy 70 percent of Putin’s oil. They keep his war machine going,” Graham told ABC News.

The bill, which Graham said now has 84 co-sponsors, aims to pressure countries like India and China to stop purchasing oil and other goods from Russia, thereby weakening its war economy and pushing Moscow to negotiate peace in Ukraine.

“My bill has 84 co-sponsors. It would allow the president to put tariffs on China, India, and other countries to stop them from supporting Vladimir Putin’s war machine and get him to the table. For the first time yesterday, the president told me … I was playing golf with him [Trump]. He says, ‘It’s time to move your bill,’” Graham added.

The bill, expected to be moved in August, is part of growing US efforts to tighten the economic noose around Russia as its war in Ukraine drags on. India and China have continued buying discounted Russian oil despite Western sanctions, making them targets of the proposed legislation.

The bill is co-sponsored by Graham and Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal. “We are going to give President Trump a tool in the toolbox,” Graham said, adding that the president told him while golfing, “It’s time to move your bill.”

Initially proposed in March, the legislation was delayed after the White House signaled opposition to expanding sanctions, as Trump was trying to reset ties with Russian President. However, the administration now appears ready to support the effort.

Reports suggest the White House previously pressed Graham to soften the bill. The Wall Street Journal reported that the Trump Administration is “quietly pressuring” the Senate to water down the legislation by turning “the word ‘shall’ into ‘may’ wherever it appears in the bill’s text, removing the mandatory nature of the prescribed reprimands.”

The Journal’s report gained further weight when Graham proposed a carve-out in the bill for countries that support Ukraine—an attempt to prevent a potential US-EU trade war if the legislation is enacted. President Donald Trump, speaking to Politico in mid-June, also signaled hesitation, saying, “sanctions cost us a lot of money,” indicating a reluctance to pursue aggressive economic penalties. However, Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified that while such sanctions could disrupt the Ukrainian peace process, the administration has not ruled them out entirely.

If enacted, the legislation could mark a significant rupture in US trade relations with both Beijing and New Delhi. For India, which counts the US as a top export market, the measure could have wide-ranging economic and diplomatic consequences.

Okay this rules lmao

Hamas' response to the ceasefire proposal, reported by most major news websites:

Hamas wrote on its official website: "The Hamas movement has completed its internal consultations as well as discussions with Palestinian factions and forces regarding the latest proposal by the mediators to halt the aggression against our people in Gaza.

"The movement has delivered its response to the brotherly mediators, which was characterized by a positive spirit. Hamas is fully prepared, with all seriousness, to immediately enter a new round of negotiations on the mechanism for implementing this framework," the statement said.

Looks like the ceasefire could happen, depending on how negotiations go, potential conditions, etc. Hamas likely wants guarantees that Israel will not be able to restart the genocide and war unilaterally, and that the UN led aid mechanism will be reinstated.

I'm not sure the picture shows that. Also it seems that at least they are plugging the holes but not opening the tunnels. Still, this could be similar to what happened at Isfahan, where they plugged the holes then reopened.

On the other hand, Iran is now saying that Fordow was seriously damaged. The hypothesis is that it's a way to maintain obscurity about the true status of the nuclear program.

Israel conducted a series of of airstrikes on Yemen. According to Al Masirah TV, airstikes took place at the ports of Hodeidah, Ras Isa, Saleef and the central power station Ras al-Khathib. Other Yemeni news outlets reported power outages as a result of the airstikes on the power station, and Israel stated that in addition, airstrikes were carried out against the captured ship "Galaxy Leader". All of these areas have been hit before by Israeli or US airstrikes. The Yemeni Armed Forces stated that air defence activities took place to repel the attacks, the statement was a first in this respect, to focus exclusively on air defence activities against manned aircraft. No claims were made about shooting any aircraft down, just on repelling the attacks. There are no images of the airstikes themselves or said air defence activity, all images currently spreading are old or from different conflicts. This is likely due to the war censorship media campaign instituted by Ansarallah/the Houthis in Yemen instituted during the US air campaign earlier this year, and due to the airstrikes taking place late at night/in the early hours of the morning, with little forewarning provided. Reports on the amount of munitions used range from 20-60. This is the most wide scale Israeli airstrike against Yemen since June last year.

Stop the price wars: China’s state media guns target cutthroat industrial competition SCMP

People’s Daily again rails against the scourge of neijuan plaguing sectors from EVs to batteries

China’s Communist Party mouthpiece has taken another shot at the unsustainable price wars dragging down industrial profits in the world’s second-biggest economy, urging firms to abandon the race to the bottom and refocus on quality.

In a front-page editorial on Sunday, People’s Daily raged against cutthroat neijuan tactics “infesting” various industries with excess capacity, including electric vehicles, photovoltaics and batteries.

Neijuan, also known as “involution”, refers to a self-defeating cycle of excessive competition.

“Solar module prices have tumbled to just 0.6 yuan per watt, prices have been slashed on over a hundred EV models while producers of energy storage equipment seek to underbid each other in the race for orders,” the editorial said.

“Disorderly price undercutting and homogeneous competition have infested many industries, distorting the market mechanism.

“It is a race to the bottom and will weaken the competitiveness of the entire industry.”

The editorial echoed earlier calls by both People’s Daily and other state-run outlets to stamp out neijuan, which is proving intractable as business profits plunge, leaving many manufacturers struggling to realise even razor-thin margins.

Amid persistent deflation and simmering trade tensions with the United States, industrial profits fell by 1.1 per cent year on year in China in the first five months, with a 9.1 per cent decline in May.

Profits for China’s car sector, one of the foundations of the country’s economy, were down 11.9 per cent during the January-May period.

The People’s Daily editorial highlighted the decline of the neijuan-riddled sector, saying average profit margins dropped to 4.3 per cent last year, with only four EV makers – BYD, Huawei-backed Seres, Li Auto and Leapmotor – making money in 2024.

“Resources are wasted on inefficient competition, which stifles innovation and leaves an imbalance in supply and demand. Neijuan directly affects wage levels, government tax revenues, investment confidence and the whole economy,” it said.

It also warned that neijuan took forms other than price wars, including companies that abused their dominance of the industrial chain to exploit partners upstream and downstream.

In addition, the editorial pointed to businesses that cut corners on quality and made copycat products in sectors that already had excess capacity, as well as local officials who made misguided efforts to woo investment through unsustainable tax breaks and subsidies.

This is the second time in a month that People’s Daily has taken aim at the vicious cycle of low price, low quality and ineffective, unrelenting competition.

The newspaper said at the end of May that regulators must act quickly and efficiently to stamp out price wars.

A month earlier, Beijing-based Economic Daily said in a commentary that neijuan remained prevalent, defining the phenomenon as “the harder you work, the less you gain”.

Observers said authorities needed to take tougher action to help ailing businesses escape the trap – action that could be spurred by the state media calls.

“Neijuan’s harm has been explained umpteen times but businesses are unable to escape it … It requires firmer state action,” said Tang Dajie, a senior researcher with the China Enterprise Institute think tank in Beijing.

Tang added that neijuan remained a big disincentive for tariff-hit exporters to pivot to the domestic market.

“Many more firms and investors are waiting to see how well and quickly Beijing can tame neijuan. It’s also a litmus test of the resolve and effectiveness of Beijing’s policies,” Tang said.

In his annual work report to the country’s legislature in March, Premier Li Qiang vowed to mount a “comprehensive crackdown on neijuan”. That followed similar directives from the top leadership at the annual central economic work conference in December.

In the past, authorities have promised to curb all neijuan excesses while also vowing to respect the market’s role in resource allocation and to create a unified, level national market, among others, to ensure “survival of the fittest”.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise for anyone paying attention to my posts.

I have an idea though: how about we raise the wages of the working people so they have the purchasing power to actually buy these products at a price that pay the workers well? Is this too much of a radical idea?

10,000 Danes Thrown Into Poverty And Forced Labour By Welfare "Reform"

On Tuesday, a new welfare reform quietly took effect in Denmark. Or perhaps not so much a reform as a deliberate act of class warfare, another chapter in the Nordic hermit kingdom's relentless experiment in punishing poverty rather than alleviating it. The reform, crafted by the nation’s Social Democrat-led right-wing regime, peddles the same old tired reactionary medicine: make the poor poorer, and then, to add insult to injury, force them to work for free.

Approximately 10,000 additional individuals receiving welfare benefits have now been unceremoniously relegated to the lowest possible tier of support: a princely sum of DKK 6,789 per month before tax (roughly RMB 7,680), an unlivable income in one of Europe's most expensive countries. By comparison, Denmark’s official poverty line for a single person hovers around DKK 7,400 kroner (RMB 8,370) after tax. It is estimated that 90% of those plunged into this financial abyss are non-Western immigrants, underlining the racist intentions behind the be punitive policies.
