⚡Norway refused to allow a Russian plane to board because of a passenger who became ill.

A passenger on a Russian plane flying from Moscow to Varadero, Cuba, suddenly became ill during the flight. The reason for his poor health was an ulcer, which caused him to suffer internal bleeding. The pilots of the Russian ship requested permission from Norway to make an emergency landing, but the Norwegian side refused.

After this, the pilots announced over the loudspeaker that the plane was turning around and flying back to Moscow. At the time of landing at Sheremetyevo, the sick passenger was alive. Paramedics took him away to the hospital.

⚡Yemen's Houthis on Operation Prosperity Guardian:

Whoever seeks to expand the conflict must bear the consequences of their actions.

The coalition formed by U.S. is to protect Israel and militarize the sea without any justification.

Yemen will not stop continuing its legitimate operations in support of Gaza.

⚡ Hamas's Cheap, Makeshift Drones Are Outsmarting Israel's High-Tech Military, Bloomberg reports.

A fleet of drones that are available online for as little as $6,500 filled the skies above Israel’s $1 billion border fence.

They were rigged to carry explosives and knock out cameras, communications systems and remote-controlled guns, setting the stage for the attack.

Hamas developed the tactics with its ally Iran and Mohamed Zaouari, a Tunisian engineer who led the group’s effort to develop UAVs.

He was assassinated in 2016 in a killing the militants blame on Israeli intelligence. A model of attack drones is named after him and 35 of them were used in opening salvo.

⚡Zelensky:

We are not invited to NATO. All these signals are nonsense, this is something non-specific. Any partial proposals are delusional.

We will never support such a thing that part of Ukraine is in NATO, and the part of Ukraine controlled by Russia is not in NATO.

I am not some kind of rag, I protect the interests of my state in a state of war.

No part will be in nato so stop trying to lie to your self dude.

⚡ASSAD: "Most people are unaware that the rise of the Nazis between WWI and WWII was supported by the Americans... many believe the West triumphed over the Nazis in the Normandy landings, but few know that Hitler's defeat began in 1941 at the walls of Moscow.

The Western powers, especially the US, did not take any action against the Nazis at that time. Stalin urged America to intervene, but it refused.

America wanted the Nazis and the Communists to destroy each other so that it could control Europe after both sides were weakened... the famous Nuremberg Trials were held for Nazi leaders who refused to collaborate with America. Those who cooperated lived honorably in America."

Simple truth this what USA fans can't understand because they only watch holiwood.

Seun is a kind of stingy businessman that minimize cost too much and not willing to spend money on his business. He didn't even employ enough moderators to moderate nairaland. I hope his stinginess don't crush nairaland one day.

⚡Russian political commentator:

The recent conflict has shown just how vital Iran is to us. Neither we nor China control maritime chokepoints.

The United States wants to block the Straits of Malacca when China invades Taiwan to hurt Chinese economy.

Iran, without blocking the Strait of Hormuz, has essentially reduced the US naval presence in other parts of the world by making the Red Sea unsafe.

Iran can no longer be ignored.

Absolutely spot on. Those who underrate Iran are living in Follyland

⚡Taiwan accuses China of economic coercion after tariff cut removals.

Taiwan on Thursday accused China of "typical economic coercion" after Beijing announced the end of tariff cuts on some chemical imports from the island.

China's Finance Ministry said that starting January 1, tariff cuts will be suspended for 12 products, including acrylic and p-xylene, citing "discriminatory prohibitions and restrictions" Taiwan imposed on Chinese exports in violation of a 2010 trade deal.

Taiwan's Office of Trade Negotiations, in a statement, said China was carrying out economic coercion and that it should stop its "one-sided political manipulation" and have talks under the World Trade Organization.
