#Venezuela: Useful map on approximate placement of military equipment in the southern Caribbean. As we've written @CSISAmericas, Puerto Rico is the linchpin of Caribbean power project for the @USNavy. The @NicolasMaduro regime looks more and more boxed in.

I met with the heads of American think tanks. We discussed the battlefield and the steps that can bring us closer to a guaranteed peace. Many think tank representatives are already working with our people and our military to find effective solutions. We appreciate this and count

Two survivors of the latest U.S. strike in Caribbean present a dilemma for the White House: release them, claim it can hold them as indefinite wartime detainees, or transfer them to civilian law enforcement officials for prosecution w/@charlie_savage https://t.co/CPgYngBreY

George Santos didn’t merely lie — he stole millions, defrauded an election, and his crimes (for which he pled guilty) warrant more than a three-month sentence. He should devote the rest of his life to demonstrating remorse and making restitution to those he wronged.

Just finished a call with @ZelenskyyUa and European leaders. We stand firm in our support to Ukraine. This entails military and financial aid, security guarantees, a ceasefire and a peace process. Work continues. Nobody wants to see this war end more than the Ukrainians do.

Russia illegally invaded Ukraine. Russian troops are committing war crimes in Ukraine. The war will end if Russia withdraws. If Ukraine removes its defenses, Ukraine will no longer exist. There is no moral equivalency. This is not that complicated.

Next time Putin tries the history lesson: Kyiv was founded in 482 AD and was the capital of the medieval state of Kyvian Rus, which was a cultural and political center in Eastern Europe from the 9th-13th centuries. Moscow wasn’t founded until 1147 AD, almost 700 years later.

Zelensky is asked whether he’s more or less optimistic about getting Tomahawks from the U.S. after his meeting with Trump “I’m realistic,” he says. Zelensky also said in his opening remarks that the U.S. “does not want escalation” He later said Russia is “afraid” of Tomahawks
