According to numerous sources, due to a false AI chatbot-generated intelligence report, the US military in the past week almost conducted an operation against a Chinese ship they believed was carrying components of a nuclear weapons program.

The US Air Force and Navy had prepared to board the ship and only found out about the illegitimacy of the intel just as the operation was set to begin.

Allegedly, the intelligence report was "entirely false", and was the consequence of increasing integration of generative AI into the US military.

So, a potential broad conflict between the US and China was nearly triggered because someone in US command utilised generative AI for intelligence assistance...

Over the city Shelter now!

My brain is so fried by this war that i just had a dream the Russians invaded my city and i was trying to warn my friends (none of whom were listening) whilst i was clarifying a grey zone near my house…

One of the admins of the Russian channel "From Mariupol to the Carpathians" was likely killed by a Ukrainian strike today, as indicated by a series of posts in their channel and a memorial video.

This channel, affiliated with drone operators in Kherson Oblast, is well known for posting videos of Russian FPV drones harassing and killing Ukrainian civilians in and around Kherson, and openly advocated for levelling the city to the ground.

(Note: Most of the reactions on this post were botted by Ukrainians).

Karma is a motherfucker.

According to somewhat reliable pro-Russian channel Anatoliy Radov, Russian forces are continuing to advance on the left flank of the Prykolotne pocket, and assault groups are now operating in Vasylivka.

He also claims that Russian forces are working to undo the results of a localised Ukrainian counterattack on the right flank toward Ustynivka and Ivashchyne.

Notably, Radov refutes the Russian MoD claims of a full encirclement already being made.

Due to the recent Ukrainian counteroffensive north of Lyman, the city of Svyatohirsk has gone from being a partially-contested city to being over 20 km from the nearest Russian-controlled territory.

This puts the city out of range of most barrel artillery, and puts it more than 2-times further from Russian-controlled territory than Slovyansk and Kramatorsk.

This is a very positive development for Ukrainian forces in Lyman, as previously, supply into Lyman could only be conducted either across pontoon bridges over the Siverskyi Donets River (all the ordinary bridges there are destroyed), or with UAVs. Now, the city can be supplied through Svyatohirsk as a rear logistical hub, as well as via roads leading from Kharkiv Oblast.

So, not only has this counteroffensive significantly alleviated pressure on Slovyansk to the south and Borova to the north, but it has also made the defence of Lyman much easier. As with all counteroffensives, it has a major PR element to it, but this one has real operational-level importance - more-so than the counterattacks in other parts of the frontline.

They're getting ready.

Does nothing ever happen this time?

Prepare for operation Epstein Fury 2

For the next 48 hours, there is an elevated threat of a combined ballistic/cruise missile strike on Kyiv and surrounding areas.
