The Atlantic is reporting that Army Lt.Gen. Brett Sylvia, the director for strategy, plans and policy for the Joint Staff, known as the J5, was fired this week. No reason has been given publicly, however his biography has been removed from the public website for the J5. A Joint Staff spokesperson thanked him for 32 years of service. Unnamed defense officials told the Atlantic Secretary of War Pete Hegseth lost confidence in him and that he did not get along with Under Secretary Elbridge Colby. He is the second J5 director pushed out in the past year, per the Atlantic. The J5 is the Joint Staff’s strategy and plans directorate. In general it helps turn presidential and civilian guidance into military plans and links the combatant commands, the Pentagon’s civilian leadership and the White House. Source:

Exclusive: Pete Hegseth has fired another top general in the military—presaging more upheaval in the Pentagon’s upper echelons as Trump looks to break the stalemate of the war with Iran, @nancyayoussef reports:

Video released by Bulgarian maritime outlet shows a sea drone approaching the Liberian flagged container ship 'Contship Jet' in the western Black Sea before it was struck. Bulgaria’s defense minister said three maritime drones hit the ship around midday yesterday approximately 20 nautical miles off Bulgaria’s coast near Cape Kaliakra, in its exclusive economic zone. The ship was sailing from Israel to Constanța, Romania. All 18 crew were rescued by the Bulgarian Navy and border police and taken to Varna, with no fatalities. Bulgarian media reports the ship sank around midnight, and more than 20 containers with hazardous materials drifted at sea. No one has been officially blamed for this attack but appears to be part of Russia's escalating pattern against commercial vessels in the western Black Sea. Source:

FORTRESS: The Pentagon is preparing every major U.S. military base to survive 90 days without outside support — no civilian power grid, no global supply chains, no outside fuel or water. The initiative, revealed in documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, envisions portable nuclear reactors, massive battery storage, and microgrids that can disconnect installations from civilian electricity entirely. Strategic reserves of munitions, fuel, critical minerals, and medical supplies would be stockpiled based on wartime consumption rates. Civilian factories are being pre-identified to shift to defense production during a crisis. Pentagon chief spokesperson Sean Parnell put it bluntly: "Power is combat now. Without electricity, you lose communications, water, logistics, assembly lines and just basic military command structures." Full story here

Reporting from the Washington Post exposes ongoing planning behind a covert (until now) spy program to conduct economic warfare against China and other competitors, according to six people familiar with the initiative. The Pentagon denies it. Deputy press secretary Jacob Bliss said the Post’s questions rely on information that is “simply not true.” The report says U.S. operatives would go undercover as business people or other private sector personnel without an official U.S. government link, known as nonofficial cover. The effort is reportedly overseen by Tom Rakusan, a 39 year CIA veteran who rose to deputy director of operations and is now a senior adviser to Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg, they said. It is in the planning phase and not operational, and it’s unclear where it would sit in the Pentagon, organizationally. Former officials told the Post the legal basis is murky. The CIA operates under Title 50, which covers intelligence and covert action, while the military operates under Title 10. The effort would likely sit somewhere between the two. They also said the CIA has traditionally resisted other agencies working on what it sees as its core human spying role, and that the CIA’s own deep cover program has shrunk. The Post reports the administration has embraced economic warfare, and that CIA Deputy Director Michael Ellis said in September the U.S. is broadening espionage against Chinese companies in AI, biotechnology and advanced semiconductors.

It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7.

A horrific Russian strike on the railway station in Dnipro. The Russians launched a drone attack on a platform where an ordinary commuter train and a scheduled passenger train were standing. Unfortunately, 13 people have been confirmed killed as of now. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Ten more people were injured. All necessary emergency services are working at the scene. Just how many terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on certain Russian oligarchs and the Russian energy sector, rather than de-escalating? This is precisely why Ukraine has always said that just and decisive action by America and Europe is needed in response to Russian escalation – sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues. It is time for new, stronger sanctions steps by the EU, the United States, and the G7. I thank everyone who is ready to help in this way.
