This is genuinely good news - working in ever closer partnership with Norway to build a common fleet and joint operations to defend NATO.
The Royal Navy will get three new mine-hunting motherships - designed to embark autonomous systems for detecting and disposing of sea mines - as part of an agreement with Norway.

The U.S. Navy quietly relieved the command triad of the Virginia-class fast attack submarine USS South Dakota (SSN-790) on October 14th following an apparent grounding incident, and did not notify Congress afterward, as is customary, according to the top Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee. The Navy has confirmed the relief, citing the reason as the usual "loss of confidence". The 'command triad' is comprised of the commanding officer, executive officer and chief of the boat.

This sequence by @kajakallas is absolutely right: (1) ceasefire, (2) peace agreement, (3) broader European security architecture.
If Putin can't even get No. 1 done, no one should believe he can negotiate sincerely on No. 3.
The sequencing of Ukraine-Russia talks is important.
The priority should be securing a ceasefire, followed by a peace agreement, and only then can there be discussions on Europe's wider security architecture.
Shifting the focus to Europe’s security architecture is diverting the attention away from where it actually should be, which is stopping the killing in Ukraine.
So far, we don’t see any goodwill from Russia.

Utter debasement of America by the goonish Pete Hegseth and his deplorable friends. Shame on them. (And well done that soldier!)

Hegseth needs to go.
A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Retired Major General Paul Eaton on Pete Hegseth: "I am saddened for our military that they have had to endure such clueless, self-aggrandizing civilian leadership. These are not serious people.”
RETWEET if you stand with Major General Eaton against Hegseth!

As a retired master sergeant, I love that this young man is more afraid of his sergeant than he is of the secretary of defense.
He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🫡
Craig Allison retweeted
Happy Veterans Day — to our best Americans.
The Hegseth’s are honored to celebrate our veterans this morning at Arlington with @POTUS, @VP & @SecVetAffairs.
Thank God for our warriors, past and present.
