Baltic tensions rise as NATO shoots down drone over Lithuania

 NATO fighter jets have shot down an unidentified drone in Lithuanian airspace for the first time, while a Russian warship fired flares at a Danish military helicopter in a separate Baltic Sea incident. The back-to-back encounters have heightened security concerns across Europe and fueled accusations that Russia is growing increasingly reckless on NATO’s borders.

Selling the war: Purges, polygraphs and propaganda

 With the US midterm elections just weeks away, Donald Trump’s administration is trying to put a positive spin on a war with Iran that shows no sign of letting up.

Germany's far-right AfD wins Saxony-Anhalt state elections.

 The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) is "very, very close" to taking power in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, its deputy parliamentary leader has told the BBC, after a historic victory in elections there.

Sunday's preliminary results show it fell three seats short of an outright majority, with 43.8% of the vote. It is now seeking support from other parties or individuals in order to govern.

Alternative für Deutschland  is a far right populist political party was founded on 6 February 2013 in Eastern Germany. They are known for their xenophobia, anti immigration policies, religious bigotry towards Muslims and support of the great replacement theory. ( The Camp of the Saints)

Israel ‘seeking Trump’s support for plan to expel Palestinians from Gaza’

 Defence minister says he believes US backing could tip regional balance in favour of forced resettlement

I'm positive that Donald Trump and his army of white supremacists and religious bigots will happily agree to the ethnic cleansing of Gaza which is a crime against humanity.

Israel’s defence minister has said his country is seeking Donald Trump’s support to approve plans to expel Palestinians from the Gaza Strip in what has widely been condemned as a potential war crime.

Israel Katz said there was “no real solution for Gaza in the end without this
migration” during a conference hosted by the Israeli news site Ynet and the newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth. He said the Israeli government was “organised and prepared to get them out by sea, by air, by every way possible”

Pentagon secretly installs military influencers in civilian roles

Conservative veterans with large social media followings have been hired by the Defense Department and are amplifying Pete Hegseth’s culture-war fights

The Pentagon has secretly installed several conservative military veterans with large online followings in government roles, declining to disclose their assignments as they amplify Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s viewpoints and attack those who scrutinize the Trump administration, according to people familiar with the matter and corroborating material.
