🇺🇸 Trump says the USS Abraham Lincoln is moving and will soon be replaced by another similar carrier.

That is good to hear, especially after the disturbing reports surrounding the crew aboard the Lincoln. Hopefully, the sailors will soon be able to return home and get some much needed rest.

Let’s hope for the safe recovery of these brave service members and their reunification with their families.

Ukraine Is Bombing Deep into the Urals – But Deliberately Leaving Tatarstan Alone

Ukraine is hitting everything around the Urals — but never Tatarstan. 
That’s not an accident. Volga Tatars are Russia’s largest minority, a Turkic Muslim nation with a long memory, a strong identity and a history of independence.

Kazan once Bulghar — isnt just another Russian city. It’s a pressure point.
Kyiv knows this. Strike Ural refineries?  Pressure Russian logistics?
But hit Tatarstan?
That would unite the region behind Moscow instead of letting old ambitions simmer under the surface.

In the Urals, refineries burn. In Tatarstan, the future is combustible.
