Ed Gallrein has made the military draft a centerpiece of his campaign against Thomas Massie in Kentucky. The pledge amounts to a direct offer to conscript American sons and send them to fight in support of Bibi's ongoing operations in the region.

This surfaces at a moment when Bibi, the war criminal who extends his rule by piling up deaths in Gaza and beyond, uses every new escalation to secure his own political survival. American primaries turn into arenas where candidates demonstrate their readiness to back those moves with US forces, all under the cover of alliance language that masks the one-sided costs.

The impact hits working families hardest, as their children face the risk of deployment in wars chosen to serve Tel Aviv's interests rather than any genuine defense of the United States. Such pledges reveal the full depth of how external agendas dictate domestic political choices.

Ukrainian drones struck the Syzran oil refinery in Russia's Samara region overnight. The facility continues to burn.

These strikes reach hundreds of kilometers into Russian territory, relying on advanced Western drones and satellite guidance that Kiev deploys as part of its effort to pressure Moscow's war economy in a conflict born from NATO's eastward creep and discarded security guarantees.

Local workers and communities absorb the immediate effects on production and safety, yet the pattern reveals how external powers sustain the fighting without offering any off-ramp that accounts for Russia's core strategic concerns.

Ben-Gvir's video of the flotilla detainees hits the public eye and draws immediate fire. Italy, France, Spain, Greece, the Netherlands, Turkey and South Korea all condemn what they see, with Meloni calling the treatment of the activists unacceptable.

This happens amid Israel's ongoing blockade of Gaza, where ships attempting to deliver supplies get intercepted and their crews subjected to detention that serves more as spectacle than security. The activists pay the price through loss of liberty and exposure in clips designed to rally domestic support for Bibi's war.

Bibi's inner circle relies on these displays to paper over the failures of his strategy, but they only highlight the civilian misery locked inside Gaza as the conflict drags on without end.

NATO's senior officers are scrambling to prepare for the possibility that Donald Trump will either abandon the protection racket or take it on in open conflict. Word from within points to growing unease over how his return could disrupt the usual flow of American support for European defense.

The arrangement has thrived on Washington carrying most of the load, allowing member states to keep defense budgets low while counting on US forces to handle the heavy lifting against any rival power. Trump's repeated calls for fairer contributions have always threatened to upset this long-standing balance.

Should the US reduce its commitment, Europe would have to confront its own security shortfalls without the reliable backstop. The protection racket's appeal starts to fade once the main provider questions the terms.

A woman trailed Trump's Greenland envoy through the streets of Nuuk, shouting for him to go home and stay away. The 'warm welcome' turned out to be a pointed rejection on the ground.

This comes amid Washington's push to secure influence over the Arctic landmass, rich in rare earth minerals and positioned for future shipping dominance as ice melts. Greenland functions as an autonomous region under Denmark, with its population facing decisions about external suitors.

Such direct pushback reveals the challenges for US expansion in areas where people prioritize self-determination over promises of economic integration.

🇮🇷☢️ Khamenei banned uranium exports from Iran - Reuters

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic issued a decree banning the export of uranium suitable for creating nuclear weapons from the country.


In this way, Tehran has toughened its position on one of the main US demands in peace negotiations.

Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei's order could further enrage Trump and complicate negotiations.

Iran's top leadership believes that sending materials abroad will make the country more vulnerable to future attacks by the US and Israel.

According to Iranian sources cited by the publication, there are serious suspicions in Iran that the pause in hostilities was a Washington tactical trick designed to create an appearance of security before resuming airstrikes.

Cuba not only has weapons acquired from Russia and China, but they also host a Russian and Chinese intelligence presence in their country.

So Cuba has always posed a national security threat to the U.S.

At the same time, given the growing tension in the world and the emergence of new threats and risks, our nuclear triad, as before, must serve as a reliable guarantor of the sovereignty of the Union State of Russia and Belarus, ensure strategic deterrence, and maintain nuclear parity and the global balance of power.”
