President-elect Trump will remove serving transgender individuals from the military on his first day in office, according to sources quoted in a report by the Times of London.
“The ban is expected to be wider ranging than a similar order made during his first term in office, when Trump prevented transgender people joining the armed forces, but allowed those already serving to keep their jobs,” the report notes.
After a week with unprecedented escalations on the war in Ukraine, tensions in Europe are running higher than ever.
Not since the darkest days of the Cold war have Russia and OTAN been so close to open confrontation.
So, it’s not surprising that strange and concerning things are happening in the old continent.
Reports quote the U.S. Air Force as saying that a number of small drones have been detected over last week around three bases in England used by American forces.
British Challenger 2 tanks reached Ukraine with enormous fanfare, ahead of Kiev’s long-delayed, ultimately catastrophic 2023 “counteroffensive”. On top of encouraging other proxy war sponsors to provide Ukraine with armoured fighting vehicles, Western audiences were widely told the tank – hitherto marketed to international buyers as “indestructible” – made Kiev’s ultimate victory a fait accompli. As it was, Challenger 2 tanks deployed to Robotnye in September were almost instantly incinerated by Russian fire, then very quietly withdrawn from combat altogether.
Hence, many online commentators were surprised when footage of the Challenger 2 in action in Kursk began to circulate widely on August 13th. Furthermore, numerous mainstream outlets dramatically drew attention to the tank’s deployment. Several were explicitly briefed by British military sources that it marked the first time in history London’s tanks “have been used in combat on Russian territory.” Disquietingly, The Times now reveals this was a deliberate propaganda and lobbying strategy, spearheaded by Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
Prior to the Challenger 2’s presence in Kursk breaking, Starmer and Defence Secretary John Healey had reportedly “been in talks about how far to go to confirm growing British involvement in the incursion towards Kursk.” Ultimately, they decided “to be more open about Britain’s role in a bid to persuade key allies to do more to help – and convince the public that Britain’s security and economic prosperity is affected by events on the fields of Ukraine.”
Russia will react if some country launches weapons into space and it has such developments, Russian state space corporation Roscosmos head Yuri Borisov said on Friday.
“Russia has always been adamant and consistent in its position of not launching any weapons into space. Well, let’s say that the probability that they might appear there depends on the balance of power. And, in principle, if some country risks using outer space as an arena for military operations and launches some type of weapon into space, then Russia, of course, will have to respond to this in an adequate manner,” Borisov told Solovyov Live, adding that “Russia has such developments.”
American investor Stephen P. Lynch has expressed an interest in buying the Nord Stream 2 pipeline if it is put up for auction as part of the bankruptcy proceedings in Switzerland, The Wall Street Journal reports.
“An American investor with a history of dealmaking in Russia has asked the U.S. government to allow him to bid on the sabotaged Nord Stream Pipeline 2 if it comes up for auction in a Swiss bankruptcy proceeding,” the report said.
According to sources cited by the newspaper, Lynch expressed determination to buy the $11 billion Nord Stream 2 pipeline and applied to the US Treasury in February for a license to negotiate its construction with entities under US sanctions, noting that many investors might avoid the auction due to the difficult geopolitical situation.
Lynch has advocated to US officials and lawmakers that owning the pipeline would give the United States a powerful tool in negotiating peace with Russia to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, while also supporting broader American strategic objectives.
Russian President Putin released a statement on Thursday following the escalating events this week in the war with Ukraine and NATO.
This came after Ukrainian and NATO forces launched long-range US and British missiles into Russia this week, just days after Joe Biden’s handlers approved of this maneuver.
The Biden regime and his handlers are determined to escalate this conflict into a global crisis just two weeks after President Trump won a decisive victory in the US presidential race.
Putin made the statement on Russian television after Russia launched a hypersonic ballistic attack on Ukraine on Thursday.
Putin said that six U.S.-manufactured ATACMS tactical ballistic missiles struck Bryansk on November 19, followed by a coordinated assault involving British Storm Shadow missiles and U.S.-made HIMARS systems on November 21.
In response, the Russian Armed Forces launched a combined strike on a Ukrainian defense industrial complex in Dnepropetrovsk on November 21.
Putin revealed that the attack included a combat test of a new hypersonic ballistic missile, the Oreshnik, capable of reaching speeds of Mach 10.
The Russian leader issued a stark warning to nations supporting Ukraine with military equipment, suggesting that any escalation could prompt retaliatory strikes on their military facilities.
Putin also criticized the United States for its withdrawal from the INF Treaty in 2019, blaming the move for destabilizing international security. He accused the U.S. of deploying advanced missile systems worldwide under the guise of military exercises, a development he called a grave error.
He emphasized that Russia would notify civilians and foreign nationals in targeted areas before conducting strikes, citing humanitarian concerns. However, he expressed confidence in the invincibility of Russia’s hypersonic missile systems, declaring, “There are no means of countering such weapons today.”
Sweden and Finland have all begun warning their residents to prepare for the possibility of war as Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine rages on.
Stockholm on Monday published its latest version of “In Case of Crisis or War,” a pamphlet instructing civilians on how to prepare for, and ride out, a national crisis that was last sent out in 2018.
The pamphlet, which has been issued five times since World War II, is now twice as long at 32 pages and focuses on war preparations as the Swedish government warns of the worsening situation in Ukraine.
“The security situation is serious and we all need to strengthen our resilience to face various crises and ultimately war,” said Mikael Frisell, director of the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency.
An estimated 5.2 million copies of the pamphlet are set to be delivered to Swedish households in the next two weeks, with the text available in multiple languages online.
The text calls on citizens to be ready with a stockpile of food and emergency supplies, including baby food, medicine and hygiene products.
As we stare into the future of the war in Ukraine, we now have daily escalations from both sides, each scarier than the next.
On Thursday, Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) with multiple non-nuclear re-entry warheads on the city of Dnepropetrovsk, in Ukraine.
This comes after Joe Biden approved the use of long-range US-made missiles to be fired by Ukraine into Russia – which they did earlier this week.
This strike marks the first time that an ICBM has been used in the history of human conflict.
It is believed that six RS-26 missile strikes completely destroyed the Yuzhmash defense plant, where the damaged American Bradley infantry fighting vehicles and German Leopard tanks were being repaired.
At the same time of the main attack, Kinzhal missiles hit the local Patriot air defense system battery.

Harvest Time🔥 ATACMS & Storm Shadow Strike💥 West Braces For Retribution🌏 Military Summary 2024.11.20
I will let you play the video – the opening segment details upcoming Russian retaliation for missile attacks by the Americans and British deep inside Russia – and looks ominous for the Ukrainian people as much as it does for the Ukrainian military.
No doubt Resident Biden and Obersturmführer Starmer factored in acceptable Ukrainian and Russian civilian casualties of around 250,000 in the decision to bomb the Russian mainland.
Brits and Americas may so be looking anxiously skyward for incoming hypersonic missile with a range of many thousands of miles – courtesy of the dead duck POTUS Biden and the clueless left-wing lunatic, UK Prime Minister Starmer.
No news on German, French and other EU countries missiles. Maybe the F-16’s supplied by the Netherlands will soon be put to use over Ukraine airspace against a few dozen Russian high attitude bombers.
The US embassy in Kiew has been shut, along with many other embassies.
“This is a war that should never have happened,” Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said at the beginning of the year. “It’s a war the Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very very beneficial to Ukraine.”
“The big military contractors want to add new countries to NATO all the time,” he said. Why? “Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications which means certain companies … get a trapped market,” he explained.
Few people understand what the war in Ukraine means for big business – namely, opportunity. It’s not just the weapons and reconstruction contracts. Ukraine’s vast agricultural lands- among the most fertile in the world – are up for grabs, and American companies like BlackRock are at the front of the line. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (“RFK Jr.”) deftly and clearly explains.
