Facing a critical troop shortage, the German armed forces are actively recruiting young people through “discovery days” featuring hands-on experiences like drone operation and weapons training.

Hegseth condemned a video made by the “Seditious Six” as despicable, reckless, and false, stating it undermined military order.

The central premise revolves around the urgent need for Europe to forge its own peace plan for Ukraine, rather than passively waiting for the United States to take the lead. This sentiment arises from a growing recognition of American unreliability and a desire for greater European agency on the global stage. It’s been said time and again, and the call to action rings out: Europe needs to step up.
The core of the issue is multifaceted. Some commentators suggest that the US, even if acting with good intentions, may be leaning towards a peace deal that favors Russia, effectively a form of surrender by Ukraine.… Continue reading
President Donald Trump and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum finally met in person after months of phone calls, with the focus of their initial discussion being the upcoming 2026 World Cup, although trade and tariffs were also addressed.

Shipwrecked or Not, All These Bombings are Murder. Let’s be clear: this whole situation, the recent attacks, and the resulting deaths, are unequivocally wrong. We’re talking about a significant number of lives lost – 87 people already, and the number keeps climbing. It’s time to call this what it is: murder.
The core issue here is the blatant disregard for due process. The administration claims these were legitimate targets, but they’ve presented no concrete evidence.

This isn’t how we handle any crime, let alone something as complex as drug trafficking.… Continue reading
