Donald Trump, for the last few weeks, has been arguing that the high gas prices that are a result of the Iran War and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz are a “small price to pay” for keeping Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon. This week, Trump added a bizarre segue from this argument, speaking casually about the possible nuclear annihilation of Los Angeles and San Diego.

The Army awarded Anduril a contract worth up to $1.8 billion over five years to expand the service’s Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) ecosystem to additional units, the company said Monday.
The contract includes a $162.8 million base period, which is focused on expanding NGC2’s common data layer to I Corps. The Army chose Anduril to lead its common data layer baseline for NGC2 in June, beating out Lockheed Martin after the two companies developed parallel systems for nearly a year.
Iran has disrupted the global oil market and dramatically increased prices, but it would be a stretch to claim that Tehran has won the oil war. Even as strikes on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz continue, new shipping data released Tuesday, October 6, shows Gulf oil exports are recovering substantially, following earlier September data that showed Middle Eastern oil exports exceeded pre-war levels for three days that month.
And while Gulf oil exports recover, Iran’s own oil exports have been reduced to virtually nothing by the American naval blockade.

The Polls Aren’t Improving for Donald Trump – Another week brings us closer to the midterm elections, and the polls aren’t improving for U.S. President Donald Trump.
His popularity, measured by how many Americans approve of his performance as the nation’s commander-in-chief, is nearing lows seen during the worst points of both his first term and Joe Biden’s only term.

The US Department of War (DoW) has selected four high-energy laser and high-powered microwave systems for a counter-uncrewed aircraft pilot intended to assess their operational use in homeland defence.
Trump Suggests Iran Could “Take Out” San Diego or Los Angeles – U.S. President Donald Trump proved again this week that he cares little about the political conventions that have long governed how politicians — and presidents — speak in front of the media, telling a crowd of supporters that Iran could “take out” major U.S. cities and that it would be worth it to prevent the Islamic regime from building a nuclear weapon.
At least that’s how many experts interpret it.

In what is increasingly becoming a bizarre, unstable, dark parody of a presidency, Donald Trump is now encouraging the Islamic Republic of Iran to nuke Los Angeles.
Or at least, that’s what it sounded like.

Of course, it was a crude joke made at one of his ridiculous rallies in Nebraska as part of his desperate campaign to prevent the Republican Party from totally losing the Legislative Branch this November.
That doesn’t make it any better.
Drone Warfare is Changing the Frontline in Ukraine… And it Could Have Repercussions for the World: Ever since the end of 2022, the frontline in Ukraine has barely shifted.
After failing to capture Kyiv in the war’s first six weeks, Russia pulled back its forces in April 2022. Counteroffensives in Kharkiv and Kherson pushed the invaders back even further in September that year. Since then, Russia has made only incremental gains across the country.
It’s officially spooky season once more and that means it’s time to watch your annual Halloween favorites, whether that means “Hocus Pocus” or “The Hills Have Eyes.” There is, however, one film that has a little something for everyone: “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.
At least two people were killed, and another nine were wounded in Moscow after Ukraine launched one of the largest drone attacks of the war against the Moscow region. The Ukrainian attacks ran from Monday night all the way into Tuesday. Hundreds of unmanned aircraft were deployed from Ukraine toward Russia’s historic capital, targeting — among other things — a major fuel-distribution facility.
