More Nazis who became top United States, NATO, European Union, and United Nations officials.

The German society and army was so well organized during the first half of the 20th century, and after the fall of German in 1945 the Americans took some of the best German scientists, engineers and tacticians to learn from them.

⚡Russia has found vast oil and gas reserves in the Antarctic, much of it in areas claimed by the UK.

The surveys are a prelude to bringing in drilling rigs to exploit the pristine region for fossil fuels, MPs have warned.

Reserves totalling 511bn barrels of oil – about 10 times the North Sea’s entire 50-year output – have been reported to Moscow by Russian research ships, according to evidence given to the Commons Environment Audit Committee (EAC) last week.

It follows a series of surveys by the Alexander Karpinsky vessel, operated by Rosgeo – the Russian agency charged with finding mineral reserves for commercial exploitation.

Antarctica is meant to be protected by the 1959 Antarctic Treaty that bans all mineral or oil developments. The UK’s interests are overseen by the Foreign Office – but it has been accused of ignoring the emerging crisis.

⚡American special operations forces (SOF) are at something of a crossroads.

After decades of low-intensity conflict, as well as counter-insurgency and counter-terror operations, they now face a very different kind of primary threat — state adversaries, some of which are near-peer status.

Transitioning its focus to a high-end fight, potentially over an enormous geographical area, is a tall order, but it's one the SOF community is very engaged in at this time.

⚡The U.S. is now Germany’s biggest trading partner — taking over from China

After years of China being Germany's main trading partner, the U.S. looks like it's quietly taking that top spot as the year progresses.

Combined exports and imports between Germany and the U.S. totaled 63 billion euros ($68 billion) between January and March of 2024. Meanwhile, trade between Germany and China came to just below 60 billion euros, according to CNBC calculations. Reuters first reported the change on Thursday.

Several factors played a role in the move, Carsten Brzeski, global head of macro research at ING Research, told CNBC.

"This shift is the result of several factors: strong growth in the U.S. has boosted demand for German products. At the same time, decoupling from China, weaker domestic demand in China and China being able to produce goods it previously imported from Germany (mainly cars) reduced German exports to China," he said.

🌍 Egyptian authorities: Operation in Rafah jeopardizes peace treaty with Israel

⚫️ Cairo protested to Israel, the United States and European governments, warning them that the Rafah operation jeopardized its peace treaty with Israel, a cornerstone of regional stability. A senior Egyptian official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

On Saturday May 11, the Israeli military began calling on Palestinians to leave central Rafah, saying it was continuing an operation against the Palestinian group Hamas in the city in the southern Gaza Strip.

⚫️ In February, Egyptian officials warned of a possible suspension of the decades-long peace treaty between Egypt and Israel if the IDF entered Rafah or if any of Rafah's refugees were forced to move south. to the Sinai Peninsula.

✅ In an effort to prevent a massive influx of refugees, Egypt has stationed tanks near its border with the Gaza Strip after strengthening the border wall.
