Trump and Hegseth give Qatar an airbase in Idaho and Qatari pilots will be flying jets over American airspace. Their lavish gifts and personal business deals with Trump worth billions really paid off for them.

"Rolex" Peskov's son denied he dodged the draft, with Putin's spokesman saying he fought with Wagner and even won a medal.

It appears his only fight was to avoid sunburn while frolicking in the Maldives.
Fancy Putin's press secretary lying!

1/5 It’s a good thing Trump did not get the Nobel Peace Prize.

He didn’t deserve it.

Giving it to him would have had serious consequences for the world

Symbolic 'execution of enemies of russia’ in a school in occupied Donetsk oblast

The action, especially the teachers’ willingness to ‘execute’ whichever ‘enemies’ they were told to target, is chilling

russia uses citizenship as a new weapon against dissidents in occupied #Crimea

russia’s stripping of citizenship was first used in Soviet times, but is now even more cynical, as an invading power is banning Crimean Tatars and other Ukrainians from their own homeland

Just to be clear, this is EXACTLY what Pete Hegseth said, word for word, on video in a formal announcement:

“We’re signing a letter of acceptance to BUILD A QATARI AIR FORCE FACILITY at the Mountain Home Airbase.”

Now, an important update from @bylinetimes.bsky.social on Farage's links to, and knowledge of, the Reform bigwig who admitted taking bribes from Moscow.

'Stunned?' Farage's Admission He Knew Nathan Gill but Not His Kremlin Associates Does Not Stand Up to Scrutiny

Insiders have told Byline Times, it is 'inconceivable' the Reform Leader did not know about his close aide's pro Russian statements

Hitler was nominated by Swedish MP Erik Brandt for the 1939 Nobel Peace Prize. The nomination was parody on Brandt's part, but is nearly identical to that used by Trump's fawning acolytes to describe the new Great Peacemaker. The difference? They're serious. www.nobelpeacecenter.org/en/news/hitl...

Hitler as a Nobel Laureate?

Adolf Hitler was actually nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1939. In the archives of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, we find the story about what happened.

Russia has zero regard for its people - proven time & time again. As long as all looks fine on the outside they don't care if/when civilians die.

This old Soviet mentality that led to the Kursk sub and Chornobyl disasters.

Now look at this report about Aeroflot on a Russian site!
