On today's podcast:
1) Ukraine staged a series of strikes across Russia, deploying drones hidden in trucks to hit strategic airfields, damaging over 40 Russian aircraft and causing losses of at least $2 billion. Russia launched a drone and missile attack against Kyiv, killing at least 12 people, and Ukraine's Ground Forces Commander announced his resignation due to the casualties. The incidents occurred ahead of crucial peace talks in Turkey, where delegations from Moscow and Kyiv will discuss issues including a full and unconditional ceasefire, prisoner release, and the return of abducted children.
2) The FBI is investigating what they call a 'targeted terror attack' in Boulder, Colorado. Eight people were injured in an attack on a Colorado event supporting Israeli hostages in Gaza, with a suspect arrested and identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman. The attacker used a makeshift flamethrower and incendiary device, yelling "Free Palestine" during the incident, which the FBI is investigating as an act of terrorism.
3) A nationalist candidate backed by President Trump wins Poland's presidential election. Karol Nawrocki won Poland's presidential election with 50.9% of the vote, defeating centrist Rafal Trzaskowski. Nawrocki's victory gives his party, the opposition Law & Justice, a powerful lever to stymie Prime Minister Donald Tusk's agenda and complicates Poland's role in the EU.
