⚡Poland to deploy weapons near Russian border from May 4-6 for NATO drills

Polish military equipment will be deployed near the Polish-Russian border from May 4-6 in northeastern Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship as part of NATO's Steadfast Defender drills, the Polish Armed Forces General Command said.

Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko told Sputnik that the scale of the 2024 iteration of Steadfast Defender marks the final and irrevocable return of the alliance to Cold War schemes to counter Russia. These exercises are another element of the hybrid war unleashed by the West against Russia, he added.

⚡Foreign agents disguised as protesters are gathering to protest in Tblisi, Georgia after the government passed the "foreign agents" bill on its second reading.

They are protesting a bill that will make any independent NGO and media organisation receiving more than 20 percent of its funding from abroad to register as an "organisation pursuing the interests of a foreign power".

Western media said western tanks, including the US-made M1 Abrams, which according to the US Army, has never been destroyed in battle, is the game changer Ukraine needs.

Well, that is true. The M1 Abrams is really the game changer Ukraine needs.

In fact, some M1 Abrams successfully crossed through Russian frontlines and are currently in Moscow.

Not as normal working tanks, but as destroyed scrap metal.

If Mahmoud Abbass still cannot see that his decades of treachery and fooling around with the enemy is worth nothing more than a toilet paper to the Zionists then he'll die an old fool.

Imagine threatening to kill more of the people you're accused of killing because you're called out for killing them!

Many countries, particularly the US, UK, and EU states, use NGOs as a front for spying, influencing government policy, and funding politicians, elections, protests and uprisings.

So, Georgia wants to pass a law that will require any NGO that receives 20% of its funding from any entity outside of Georgia, to register as an organisation working on behalf of a foreign government.

Those protesters (who are funded by those same NGOs) are then protesting against the Georgian government signing such bill.

Did Yasser Arafat not die an old fool? After decades of being thrown around and tricked by the Americans and Israelis, how did he end up?

He never got the Palestinian state and was most likely assassinated.

Mahmoud Abbas will go the same way. His will even be worse because many Palestinians consider him a traitor.

His party, Fatah, lost the 2006 Palestinian election to Hamas. Instead of leaving, the US, EU, UK, and Israel refused him handing over to Hamas.

Instead, the US, EU, Israel and UK tried to launch another election, but realising Hamas was going to win it again, started to train Fatah to fight Hamas.

Hamas found out and defeated Fatah.

Fatah then left the Gaza strip and went to the West Bank, leaving Hamas to control the Gaza strip.

Meanwhile, the US, UK, EU, and Israel left Fatah in control of the West Bank with Abbas as president. So much for democracy.

Perfectly said. They also use these "NGOs"(who receive their funding through US government funded intermediaries-NED, USAID etc) to forment regime change and color revolutions to politically capture a country under their influence. The Arab uprisings, Ukraine's maidan events are good examples of these. They call these blatant interference in other countries' internal affairs as "promoting democracy and freedom", but anyone with a little shred of grey matter would understand what they actually mean by that grin wink The funny and hypocritical thing about the whole bill saga is, the western governments backing these brainless mobs have similar laws in place in their respective countries, the US in particular, it's called FARA(Foreign Agent Registration Act).

Abi. Or why else will the common man want to protest a law that actually strengthens a country's democracy? Unless of course, they are anti-democratic forces posing as democracies.

I even recommend Georgia reduces the funding requirement to 10% instead of the 20% they're proposing.

⚡Ukraine unveils AI-generated Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Victoria Shi.

Ukraine on May 1 presented an AI-generated spokeswoman called Victoria who will make official statements on behalf of its Foreign Ministry.

The ministry said it would “for the first time in history” use a digital spokeswoman to read its statements, which will still be written by humans.

Dressed in a dark suit, the spokeswoman introduced herself as Victoria Shi, a “digital person”, in a presentation posted on social media.

The figure gesticulates with her hands and moves her head as she speaks.

The Foreign Ministry’s press service said the statements given by Shi would not be generated by AI but “written and verified by real people”.

“It’s only the visual part that the AI helps us to generate.”

⚡US Air Force Secretary says they face pilot shortage

US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said that they face a pilot shortage and are working to address the situation.

"We do have a shortage of pilots and we've been working to reduce that," Kendall said during a congressional hearing.

Kendall noted that the greatest obstacle to higher pilot production is the pipeline, particularly the availability of training aircraft, which is very thin at present.

Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. David Allvin added that they are trying to increase bonuses in order to help with pilot retention in the Air Force.

Allvin also said another effective option for pilot retention is allowing airmen to serve as commercial pilots while also serving in the Air Force Reserve.
