Is Trump Pivoting on Iran as Hormuz Remains Closed?

William Kristol and colleagues weigh whether Trump’s hard line on Iran signals escalation or a strategic retreat, noting mixed signals as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed. While Trump has issued threats and insisted on a deal, reporting and commentary suggest a possible wind-down of military actions and a diplomatic push, with Rubio and others hinting at broader, less combative paths. The piece sits amid broader Bulwark analysis on populism, polling showing waning Trump support, and related political debates.

"Ukrainian Brigade's Harrowing Retreat from Avdiivka Amid Russian Attacks"

Ukrainian soldiers defending Avdiivka faced a relentless Russian assault with shortages of ammunition and men, leading to the city's fall in mid-February. The retreat was dangerous and costly, with soldiers facing constant Russian artillery fire. The lack of ammunition was cited as a key reason for the city's loss, as Ukrainian troops struggled to hold their positions. Russian casualties were high, but they continued to advance, eventually encircling the city and cutting off escape routes. The harrowing retreat resulted in significant Ukrainian casualties and the capture and killing of soldiers left behind.

"Study Shows Ayahuasca Retreat Reduces ADHD Symptoms"

A pilot study conducted at an ayahuasca retreat in Peru found that adults experienced significant reductions in symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity following their stay, regardless of the retreat duration or number of ayahuasca ceremonies attended. The study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between ayahuasca use and reductions in ADHD symptoms, but the absence of a control group and reliance on self-reporting as the sole outcome measure make it difficult to conclusively attribute the observed changes to ayahuasca use.

Own a Scottish Castle for $37k, but with a Catch.

Brough Lodge, a historic Grade ‘A’ Listed property located on the island of Fetlar in Scotland, is up for sale for about $37,000. However, the property requires extensive renovation, estimated to cost almost $15 million, according to the property’s trust. The trust suggests that the property is best suited for the development of a world-class retreat with up to 24 double bedrooms and other essential facilities, including an elevated dining room. The castle sits on the island of Fetlar, which is home to about 70 people and is roughly 405 miles northeast of Edinburgh.

Russian Cover-Up of Bakhmut Retreat Fails Miserably

Russia's Ministry of Defense confirmed its forces are retreating from Bakhmut, Ukraine, which Russia has been trying and failing to seize for months. Russia has regrouped to "more advantageous defensive positions" north of Bakhmut. Ukraine said Friday its forces are making gains in Bakhmut in some pockets. Yevgeniy Prigozhin, the head of the Russian Wagner Group, which has been fighting in Bakhmut, claimed the retreat is "a flight, not a regrouping." Russia finds itself on the back foot as Ukraine prepares to launch a counteroffensive sometime this spring or summer, according to U.S. intelligence assessments.

Ukraine's counteroffensive threatens Russian troops near Bakhmut.

Russian forces have retreated north of Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine, acknowledging a coordinated push by Kyiv to encircle them. Reports suggest that Ukraine has made significant gains around the city, with both sides reporting the biggest Ukrainian gains in six months. The head of Russia’s Wagner private army called the retreat a “rout”. Moscow has been preparing for an expected onslaught since late last year and has built lines of anti-tank fortifications along hundreds of miles of front.
