ISW: Hezbollah’s Military Forces Are Failing in Lebanon
In case you weren't already convinced that ISW is a full-blown propaganda outlet.
The operation has so far successfully destroyed and disrupted many of the capabilities required for Hezbollah to threaten northern Israel
Aren't they still regularly launching rockets?
Hezbollah is attempting to present itself as a competent, confident military organization, but it has so far failed to effectively execute any major military campaign at scale
???
Hezbollah has also routinely claimed it “hits” Merkava tanks with anti-tank missiles but has yet to publish any evidence indicating that these “hits” knocked tanks out of action or slowed Israeli operations.[17] Hezbollah would presumably publish evidence of destroyed vehicles, given that it has a vested interest in portraying its “defensive” operations as effective.
Ukraine brain.
Criticisms directed at the IDF’s slow pace of operations ignore Israeli operational design and lessons learned in the Gaza Strip. Some Lebanese officials implied that the Israeli operation is failing because IDF forces have not penetrated deep into Lebanon.[18] The IDF’s slow movement is a deliberate choice designed to root out and destroy Hezbollah tunnel infrastructure methodically. This approach was presumably derived from a lesson learned in the Gaza Strip, where after a relatively rapid armored assault, the IDF slowed its pace of operations and began methodically reentering areas and ripping out subterranean and above-ground infrastructure.[19]

One of these structures, known as Taleghan 2, has been previously linked to Iran’s nuclear programme by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
BBC Verify has identified what appears to be damage to a storage unit at the Abadan Oil Refinery based in the south-western province of Khuzestan.
Apparently Israel did (kinda sorta, but not really) strike oil and nuclear sites? Seems kinda like an "I'm not touching you" thing, with minor targets being chosen to avoid serious implications.
I'm hoping Genki Sudo co-opts a party (CDP?) and becomes PM one day. I genuinely think that would be a better outcome than a JCP government.
It's a matter of time until 
These missiles that are cooking Merkavas are reverse-engineered copies of Israeli missiles captured in the 2006 war.

2,000 Ukrainian military personnel are blocked in the Kursk region, the Russian army has begun to eliminate this group
Footage of North Korean soldiers in Russia is a serious thing, if there are pictures, they reflect something there... I will not confirm or deny Western media reports, but the DPRK is serious about implementing the treaty in terms of joint defense.
Kyiv’s irretrievable and sanitary losses in the Kursk direction amounted to 26 thousand people
Mexico announces food and agriculture plan that could take the country back to the 1980s
Sheinbaum appears to have a deep interest in boosting beans.
The government aims to boost bean production by about 30% in six years to replace imports of beans, and will set up research centers to supply higher-yielding bean seeds.
“Self-sufficiency in beans is a goal the president has set for us,” Berdegué said.
Bean Queen 
López Obrador also appears to have passed on his nostalgia for a 1970s-style Mexico — including passenger rail service, state-owned industries, tight-knit families and small corner stores — to Sheinbaum.
Hell yeah.
They should shell Seoul but replace the explosives with poop
Don't they claim to agree on all policies? Isn't the only difference identity?

(Week-old news) AP: One of 3 judges weighing request for ICC arrest warrants against Netanyahu and others is replaced
I saw the sexual misconduct allegations against Khan, but somehow I missed this story.
Anyway, it's now 164 days since Karim Khan requested arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant. Reminder that it took just 23 days to issue Putin's warrant (for putting injured kids in hospitals).
