H: response of USA to war in Ukraine
The State Department approved the sale of 500 Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine on Friday for $2.1 billion, but Ukrainian troops don't expect those interceptors to be ready until 2030, @aidan_stretch reports. The interceptor shortage has left American-made launchers unused for eight months in Central Ukraine.

While 76% of non-FSM children received a good level of development, only 55% of FSM-eligible children did so. As our briefing on early years inequality laid out, too many disadvantaged children are still missing out on support. suttontrust.com/our-research…

H: impact of war
Russia's fuel crisis is bad, and every indication is that it will keep getting worse. Once a major fuel exporter, Russia has now become an importer that can only produce 70% of the gasoline it needs. And drone sanctions hit more refineries every month. September will be big.💥

The “Russian retaliation” narrative is Kremlin propaganda to justify Moscow’s war crimes. Since 2022, Russia has killed hundreds of thousands, displaced over ten million, destroyed dozens of Ukrainian cities, and bombed countless civilian targets. But now Russia is retaliating?

Here's a twist on Canadian legend @Alanis's "Ironic" (who was fab when one of us saw her live last month) - in an acoustic version that addresses Trump's #tradewar with Canada and his attempted renaming of Lake Ontario. It's called "Moronic" 🎶 - lyrics: youtu.be/Y6OGKFQBG7s
