"The Kremlin is genuinely afraid of certain events, and they're not related to Ukraine, but to internal processes in Russia. I don't know if they're afraid of a coup, a conspiracy, or something similar, but they're definitely afraid of something serious."

In a further sign of the Putinisation of America under Donald, it seems the US military also dismissed the capabilities of the Ukrainian military.

With over 4 years of evidence in front of them, this seems more stupid than us doing it.

Final part of my 4-part series on religion in Kremlin influence campaigns during Moldova’s 2024–25 elections.

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."

"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the ​Middle East."

Deadly serious question.

Suppose one of the countries attacked by Trump strikes at America.

Are other NATO countries committed to join the fight, even if Trump attacked them first?
