Bijušais igauņu spēku virspavēlnieks: Krievijai nav nepieciešama atgūšanās pirms jauna kara "Ja vairāk nekā 90 % dronu Hersonā tiek notriekti, tostarp lielākoties ar elektroniskiem līdzekļiem, tad kaut kā tiek notriekti arī droni ar optisko šķiedru kabeļiem – galvenokārt ar šaujamieročiem"

Why Washington’s Kurdish Gambit Could Backfire in Iran The Trump administration should abandon any plans to arm Iranian Kurdish forces before the first fighter crosses the Iraqi-Iranian border. Not refine it.

Jeffrey Epstein's Really Big Short In addition to his sex crimes, Epstein ran an obscure company that accrued billions in liabilities in the same dicey securities that led to the 2008 financial crisis. Know who bailed him out? You did!

Trump’s Effort to Steal the Midterms Is Getting Serious MAGA groups have drafted an executive order that would allow the president to take over the country’s elections.

B.Obama & J.Biden abi pie vainas, bet 47 ASV administrācijas vadītājs mums kriminālnoziedznieks par dārznieku. Tā demokrātijās notiek, un nezinām vai 2026.g. novembra vēlēšanas notiks? P.S.
