BREAKING: Swiss intelligence officers (NDB) have allegedly cooperated with Russian agents for years, potentially exposing sensitive classified data. An SRF Investigativ report reveals that Swiss authorities delayed action despite warnings from allied intelligence services,

Putin designates new Russian navy as exclusively submarine fleet so he can count the vessels at the bottom of the Black Sea. Seriously though, the bunker dwarf is entirely delusional. You can’t “reestablish Russia as a dominant force in maritime affairs” because it never was

The rumors turned out to be true: the Israeli Patriot systems are now in Ukraine. The U.S. had been in talks with Israel about transferring up to eight systems and while the Ambassador didn’t specify how many, the statement makes it sound like all of them were sent.

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you Donald J. Trump.

Whatever your opinion of illegal immigration is, what Trump is doing in California should really bother you. The escalation is (most likely the deliberate) result of the administration's demand to increase the average daily arrests by ICE from 660 (during the first 100 days of

U.S. Marines have served honorably across multiple wars in defense of democracy. They are heroes. They shouldn't be deployed on American soil facing their own countrymen to fulfill the deranged fantasy of a dictatorial President. This is un-American.

The American flag stands for many things, and none of them include the diktat to fly it. In fact, the opposite is true. In America, we can fly whatever the fuck we want, including imbecile flags with Trump being Jesus or whatever. That's the beauty of the Constitution. The

Just witnessed a drone crash into a hospital right next to my apartment in Odesa and it’s currently burning - I’ve cropped the video to not show air Defense launch sites but Jesus. Terrorism. Absolute terrorism.

It was always the restoration of the Russian empire. It's not for nothing that Putin, the anti-communist, called the dissolution of the USSR the greatest calamity of the 20th century (not the word wars, mind you). The Russians are bent on reconstituting the parts of the empire

The Ukrainians discovered that the Russians would sometimes send the bodies of dead Russians under fake Ukrainian names, so now they demand DNA analysis for verification. Is there a depth to which the Kremlin ghouls would not sink?

I don't know where Rutte is pulling these magic numbers from (Russia producing 500 tanks and 1,000 armored vehicles per month? Is that why they are attacking in bathtubs attached to motorcycles? Also, the more relevant drone production is missing) but two things stand out from

I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders. This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous

I’ve lived in Kyiv for three years; this is probably the biggest Russian drone attack the city has experienced in my time here; Shahid drones are exploding everywhere.
