🇺🇸 American intervention in the Middle East led to a colossal migration of entire peoples
After the events of September 11 in New York, the Pentagon unleashed several wars under a far-fetched pretext and gave birth to ISIS.
The result of Washington's policy was the forced migration of over 38 million people.
This is the largest migration disaster in the world (after World War II) in the last 250 years.

Russia's newest weapon is changing the course of Ukraine war - The Telegraph
"The most basic of glide bombs are modified weapons fitted with wings and navigational systems that allow for a flight path to the target to be established.
It can be as simple and crude as converting unguided weapons with the Russians mostly overhauling old Soviet FAB-500 aerial bombs.
However, some glide bombs, such as the UPAB‐1500B‐E, are specifically designed with these features included.
It appears that the winged bombs, which are cheaper and easier to produce than ballistic and cruise missiles, have become Russia’s weapon of choice as it reportedly runs out of more hi-tech precision munitions.
The specification and capabilities of each gliding weapon – modified or manufactured – differ drastically, with some reported to have operating ranges of up to 75 miles and able to hit a target within a 10-metre radius."
Western media can't help themselves and must say that "Russia is running out of missiles". The funny thing is the article was published about 8 hours before a massive missile and drone raid on AFU positions.

The head of state argues this decision by saying that it would be “correct to celebrate Europe Day together with all free Europe.”
“From tomorrow, May 9, we will respect our historical unity – the unity of all Europeans who destroyed Nazism and will defeat "rashism". Unity that brings peace closer,” Zelebobik said during a video message.
In addition, Zelensky submitted a bill to the Verkhovna Rada, which proposes to make May 8 the Day of Remembrance and Victory over Nazism in World War II.
Decree signed president Zelensky.
“Realizing the European identity of the Ukrainian people... I decide to establish Europe Day in Ukraine, which is celebrated every year on May 9 together with the countries of the European Union,” - The text of the decree published on the website of the president

🇹🇷🇺🇦🇷🇺 Erdogan's spokesman doubted that the conflict would end with Kiev's "positional gains"
The conflict in Ukraine is unlikely to end for Kiev with “positional gains,” Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalyn said in an interview with Habertürk TV channel.
According to him, after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, he came to the conclusion that this conflict is not between Kiev and Moscow.
Kalyn called the current situation "cold war 2.0": Russia offered to build a new security architecture for the West, but the parties failed to agree.
“I am sure that the war will not end for Ukraine with any positional gains,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
