Trump to Get Second ‘Yearly’ Health Screening in Months — TIME When the President visits Walter Reed on Friday, he’ll do a “routine” annual check-up, the White House said—despite the fact he just did one in April.

The signs are becoming more obvious.

YouTube video by Times Radio China spy scandal: Brits face 'massive threat' from China, says former diplomat

Isn't it outright chocking how naive Europe is. I bet it will take us 15 years to actually decide not to invest in China or purchase from them. Let's express our concern just a little while longer.

Fellas, by closing this matching, we’ll get an EW system for the 3rd SAB and five reconnaissance drones for the 14th NGU. Both requests are crucial and urgent 🥺

If 900 of us each spare just €5 today, we can close both of these requests, can we? 🥹

Any ideas what may have happened in the interim?

Memes against Moscow: What NAFO taught me about fighting disinformation In 2022, shortly after Russia’s illegal expansionist invasion of Ukraine, I took to Twitter to keep up with any updates. One post in particular caught my attention: a Russian ambassador pushing the Kr...

I recently wrote a piece for Lib Dem Voice about my experience in NAFO and the impact a meme-based campaign had in achieving tangible political results.

Manchester synagogue attack latest: Two dead and suspect shot in major incident Keir Starmer will chair an emergency Cobra meeting in response to the attack, which has taken place on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish religious calendar

If you think Jews are part of some wider plot related to the Israeli government, do society a favour and piss off.

No innocent people should be killed, least of all by lowlife scum who are operating on a hateful agenda.

Drone attacks threaten us all

I can’t even process this. The Jewish community in the UK is tiny. We will all be feeling this more deeply than I can explain.

About 15 Russian drones in direction of Kyiv region were detected earlier. Explosions in Kyiv region .

Commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces Robert 'Magyar' Brovdi confirms they are scaling up: Magyar Birds’ 414th doubled with deep-strike assets, the 14th Regiment became the 1st Center, K-2’s 20th turned brigade, Nemesis 412th became a brigade, and Raid 413th expanded to a regiment.

Horrified and appalled by the attack outside Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

My thoughts are with the victims, our brave emergency services and the entire Jewish community.

Dousa Responds to Gates' Criticism on Sweden's Aid Budget Shift | Sweden Herald Sweden reduces the aid budget and directs more money to Ukraine and its own defense

Bill Gates claims that Sweden redirecting its budget from aid towards defence and supporting Ukraine is "a mistake".

Was his alleged affair with a Microsoft employee also "a mistake"?

Perhaps he should learn to keep quiet on matters about which he knows nothing.

Trump is doing the work of russia, China, North Korea, and every single anti-democratic force in the world that wishes to see the West crash and burn.

He's not only a threat to America, but a threat to liberal democracy itself.

this speech from chief bone spurs is going to land so well in the hardened top brass of US Army

Trump making the US armed forces smaller and using them against Americans inside the US is exactly what Russia, China, and any other enemy of the US wants.

It’s also exactly what makes Trump’s actions not only authoritarian, but traitorous

The latest Jeremy Corbyn grift project, "Your Party", is just another exercise in ego boosting and building an echo chamber to accommodate tankies who refuse to condemn russia as an imperialist fascist force, hellbent on committing genocide against Ukrainians.

The victory for pro-European integration in Moldova is a sign that russia's mythical grasp over Eastern Europe is precisely that: mythical. #Putin will fall, and along with him, his cronies. It's not a matter of if, but when. #Moldova #EU #European

Despite bomb threats, war fears, and disinformation, Moldovans still show up to reject Russia CHIȘINĂU, Moldova — Moldova's ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) has secured just over 50% of the vote, or 55 out of 101 parliament seats, keeping the country on a European path. The result ...

Moldova's ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) has secured 55 out of 101 parliament seats.

In a country haunted by Soviet memory and threatened by Russian influence, ordinary voters chose the path toward Europe.
