Istanbul Tulip Festival--but it's the Middle East--

https://www.npr.org/2026/05/03/nx-s1-5808875/aung-san-suu-kyi-myanmar-son-house-arrest
Kean said the current situation differs from a previous period of imprisonment around 15 years ago, when under the Than Shwe regime, Suu Kyi was also under house arrest but able to occasionally meet visiting dignitaries. She was released in November 2010, just days after an election, and promptly returned to politics.
Supporters of the military-backed Union Solidarity and Development Party wave the party flags during the first day of campaigning for the general election, in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, Oct. 28.

Myanmar is holding phased elections. Here's why they're being called a 'sham'
This time, Kean said, the constraints are far tighter. "She'll be kept on a very short leash, so it's hardly a concession," he said. "This is far more tightly controlled, reflecting that Min Aung Hlaing's administration is in a much weaker position."
As Myanmar's civil war grinds on, the military has continued to seek international legitimacy. It signed an agreement with Washington lobbying firm DCI Group in July 2025 for nearly $3 million a year to help improve relations. Federal documents show that longtime political operative and Trump ally Roger Stone has since joined DCI's effort, at $50,000 per month.

Ukraine drone hit inside Russia--copied and pasted excerpt--
Another oil facility deep inside Russia was reportedly on fire Wednesday following what Ukraine’s president claimed was his country’s latest long-range drone attack.
https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-perm-oil-facility-fire-drones-3b1ca5805ccfb4f97494643369a610b0
The facility is in the Perm region of Russia, located in the Ural mountains more than 1,500 kilometers (900 miles) from Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service, known as the SBU, said it had struck a Russian oil pumping station near the city of Perm as part of efforts to target Russia’s energy infrastructure.
Russian media also reported the attack, though Perm Gov. Dmitry Makhonin said only that a drone hit an unspecified industrial facility, sparking a fire.
Russian officials have not been forthcoming about Ukrainian claims that Kyiv is carrying out more long-range attacks and that its domestically developed drones are increasingly accurate.

Iran/Middle East War--massive flight of fighter jets from US --last night--copied and pasted from Wajee Lion--Substack

@wajeehlion
VISIBLE DETERRENCE: Why the Middle East Sky is Lit Up with U.S. Military Aircraft Tonight
A viral surge of screenshots from aviation tracking site Flightradar24 has sparked global anxiety tonight, showing dozens of U.S. Air Force logistics and refueling aircraft operating across European and Middle Eastern airspace. Social media has been flooded with speculation that the visible armada is the unannounced prelude to a massive, regional ground war.
The reality, according to military analysts and open-source intelligence (OSINT), is far more calculated: this is the visible logistical backbone of Operation Epic Fury, the ongoing U.S. military campaign in the region, operating in plain sight.
The Logistics of 'Epic Fury'
The aircraft currently dominating civilian flight trackers are not covert strike fighters. They are primarily Boeing KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refuelers bridging the transatlantic gap, and C-17A Globemaster III heavy transports.
Aviation data over the past 48 hours confirms a heavy volume of C-17 flights originating from Robert Gray Army Airfield in Texas, with multiple sorties heading toward allied air bases in Jordan and Saudi Arabia. These specific transport routes are highly correlated with the rapid deployment of air-defense systems—such as Patriot batteries and counter-drone technologies—and the resupply of munitions depleted during recent engagements.
Rather than signaling a surprise first strike, the choice to leave civilian ADS-B transponders turned on is a deliberate psychological and tactical maneuver. If the U.S. military were initiating a covert offensive, these aircraft would be operating under strict Emissions Control (EMCON), effectively vanishing from commercial radars. By flying "loud and proud," the Department of Defense is actively projecting its logistical endurance and rapid-resupply capabilities to regional adversaries.
Fortifying the Umbrella
This aerial bridge is actively supplying one of the largest concentrations of U.S. forces in the Middle East in over two decades. The airspace activity corresponds with the massive naval presence currently deployed to the Arabian Sea and surrounding waters, which includes the Carrier Strike Groups of both the USS Abraham Lincoln and the USS Gerald R. Ford.
Furthermore, the U.S. has poured hundreds of millions of dollars into counter-unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) defenses in recent weeks. The transports landing at CENTCOM forward operating bases are likely delivering these critical early-warning sensors and mobile mitigation systems to shield troops from drone incursions and ballistic threats.
What the Radars Don't Show
While the transport and refueling bridge is highly public, the kinetic assets remain in the shadows. The U.S. has already deployed advanced fifth-generation stealth fighters, including F-22 Raptors and F-35s, alongside F-15E Strike Eagles, to hardened regional bases. The exact operational tempo of these combat aircraft, as well as the rapid-response movements of specialized units, remains strictly compartmentalized and off the radar.
Tonight’s lit-up screens are not the start of a secret war. They are the roaring engines of a very public, massive supply chain designed to fortify allied airspace, sustain the ongoing operations of Epic Fury, and establish an overwhelming posture of deterrence by denial.

Why we fight long wars --studies of chimpanzees--
The new research from Uganda adds to Goodall’s early observations about chimp behavior. Scientists documented in detail a series of social disturbances that preceded the current conflict, including the deaths of key individuals who played a role in connecting different chimp “neighborhoods,” a change in dominance or leadership structure, and a disease outbreak.

House Republicans pass DHS funding bill that Dems call "dead on arrival"
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/trump-administration/trump-johnson-dhs-house-rebels-senate-bill-ice-cbp-rcna265507?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us
WASHINGTON — House Republicans voted Friday evening to pass a short-term funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that has no viable path in the Senate and is likely to extend the shutdown stalemate on Capitol Hill.
The vote of 213-203 came after Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., rejected the Senate-passed bill, which would fund all of DHS except Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Funding for DHS lapsed in mid-February.
He called the Senate measure “a joke,” placing full blame for it on Democrats, even though Republicans control the Senate and the bill passed by unanimous consent early Friday morning.

Historical Dictionary of Burma (Myanmar)
Demonetization
https://hist_burma.en-academic.com/186/Demonetization
Demonetization
(1964, 1985, 1987)
An order of the government that revokes the legal tender status of currency notes, rendering them worthless. Burma under General Ne Win experienced three demonetizations: in May 1964, November 1985, and September 1987. They were designed to cripple "economic insurgency" (the black market), but the first two demonetizations offered limited compensation to persons who surrendered old banknotes. The 1987 order did not, wiping out as much as 80 percent of the country's savings because most people hoarded cash, reluctant to put their funds in the unreliable state banking system. The government replaced currency notes in denominations of 25, 35, and 75 kyats with oddly numbered notes of 45 and 90 kyats, reflecting Ne Win's preference for the auspicious number nine. In response, student demonstrations broke out, the first since the mid-1970s. Most observers believe the 1987 demonetization contributed substantially to the transformation of antigovernment sentiment into a nationwide opposition movement in 1988.
