Foreign Affairs2 Russian Drones Fly Into NATO Airspace In Romania & Latvia by WriterNig(op): 5:06pm On Sep 08, 2024

Two NATO members said Sunday that 🇷🇺 Russian drones have violated their airspace, as one reportedly flew into Romania during nighttime attacks on neighboring Ukraine while another crashed in eastern Latvia the previous day.

A drone entered Romanian territory early on Sunday as Moscow struck “civilian targets and port infrastructure” across the Danube in Ukraine, Romania's Ministry of National Defense reported. It added Bucharest had deployed F-16 warplanes to monitor its airspace and issued text alerts to residents of two eastern regions.

It also said investigations were underway of a potential “impact zone” in an uninhabited zone along the Romanian-Ukrainian border. There were no immediate reports of any casualties or damage.

Later on Sunday, Latvia’s Defense Minister Andris Sprūds said that a Russian drone fell the day before near the town of Rezekne, and had likely strayed into Latvia from neighboring Belarus.

Rezekne, home to over 25,000 people, lies some 55 kilometers (34 miles) west of Russia and around 75 kilometers (47 miles) from Belarus, the Kremlin’s close ally.

While the incursion into Latvian airspace appeared to be a rare incident, Romania has confirmed drone fragments on its territory on several occasions since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, as recently as July this year.

Mircea Geoana, NATO's outgoing deputy secretary-general and Romania's former top diplomat, said on Sunday morning that the military alliance condemned Russia’s violation of Romanian airspace. “While we have no information indicating an intentional attack by Russia against Allies, these acts are irresponsible and potentially dangerous,” he wrote on X.

Latvia's military on Sunday similarly said that there were no indications that Moscow or Minsk purposely sent a drone into the country. In a public statement, the military said it had identified the crash site, and that a probe was ongoing.

Sprūds, the Latvian defense minister, sought to downplay the significance of the drone incursion.

“I can confirm that there are no victims here and also no property is infringed in any way,” Defense Minister Andris Sprūds told the Latvian Radio on Sunday, adding that any risks in the event were immediately eliminated: “Of course, it is a serious incident, as it is once again a reminder of what kind of neighboring countries we live next to.”

🎥 LOTR - The Rings Of Power S01-02 (2022 - 2024) = 4/10 ❌

Gets worse with each new season. There are more females than grains of sand in the series. That's how you know it's gonna be shit.

I bet there were lots of females involved in the production of this series. There's no way a group of men would sit down and come up with this nonsense.

These clowns have completely ruined this series and turned it into a Wheel Of Time with an overly inflated budget.

$500m down the drain.

I don't see it making it past Season 3. Can't even remember the last time it trended on Twitter. People have lost interest.

Wokeness is a mental illness.

The 🇺🇸 White House bluntly told Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday to "stop" talking about the upcoming US presidential election, hours after he said he was supporting Vice President Kamala Harris.

The White House called on 🇷🇺 Russian President Vladimir Putin to “stop interfering” in US elections after he wryly said he backs Kamala Harris and not Donald Trump, who has voiced admiration for him.

"Putin ought to stop talking about our elections, period. He shouldn't be favoring anybody one way or another," National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby told reporters.

"The only people who should get to determine who the next president of the United States is, is the American people, and we would greatly appreciate it if Mr. Putin would A: stop talking about our election, and B: stop interfering in it," he added.

Speaking at an economic forum in Russia, Putin reportedly said with a smile: "I said that our 'favorite,' if I may say so, was the incumbent President Mr. Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended that all his supporters support Ms. Harris. So, we will do the same, we will support her."

Putin's apparent endorsement of Harris came hours after the Justice Department announced charges Wednesday against Russian nationals Kostiantyn Kalashnikov, 31, and Elena Afanasyeva, 27, for conspiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) and conspiracy to commit money laundering.

The charges are centered around allegations that the two employees of Russian state broadcaster RT funneled $10 million to online influencers who then created content favorable to the Kremlin's narratives.

US intelligence agencies have warned that in several recent presidential and congressional elections, Russia was trying to influence their outcome.

🇷🇺 Russia wants Kamala Harris to win the U.S. presidential election, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday in a teasing comment that cited her "infectious" laugh as a reason to prefer her over Donald Trump.

Putin made the ironic remark a day after the U.S. Justice Department charged two Russian media executives over an alleged illegal scheme to influence the November election with pro-Russian propaganda.

Before President Joe Biden withdrew from the race, Putin had said earlier this year - in another comment widely seen as not to be taken at face value - that he preferred Biden over Trump because the former was a more predictable "old school" politician.

U.S. intelligence agencies believe Moscow actually wants Trump to win because he is less committed to supporting Ukraine in the war against Russia.

Asked how he viewed the election now, Putin told an economic forum in Russia's far east that it was the choice of the American people.

But he then added that as Biden had recommended his supporters to back Harris, "we will do the same, we will support her".

Putin and the moderator were both smiling as he made the remark, which drew applause from the audience.

Expanding on his view of Harris, Putin said: "She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her."

At least 4 people are believed to have been killed and approximately 30 more were injured in the shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, although it’s unclear how many of the injuries are from gunshot wounds, according to law enforcement sources.

Two students and two teachers were killed in a shooting at Apalachee High School in Winder, Georgia, according to Georgia Bureau of Investigation Director Chris Hosey.

Another nine people have been taken to hospitals with injuries, Hosey said. The shooter, who is a 14-year-old student at the school, is in custody.

All schools in the district were placed in lockdown, and police were sent out of an abundance of caution to all district high schools, but there are no reports of secondary incidents or scenes, according to the sources.

Some of the critically injured were removed by helicopter, and additional helicopters are on standby.

Foreign AffairsRussian Spy Whale 'Hvaldimir' Dies In Norway (Photos) by WriterNig(op): 8:49am On Sep 04, 2024

A Beluga Whale nicknamed Hvaldimir, after his strange harness prompted suspicions he was a 🇷🇺 Russian spy, has been found dead in the southwest of Norway.

The whale’s carcass was discovered floating off Risavika Bay in southern Norway on Saturday by a father and son who were out fishing, Norwegian public broadcaster NRK reported.

Hvaldimir, a combination of the Norwegian word for whale, “hval”, and the first name of Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, was first spotted off Norway’s far northern coast in 2019.

His man-made harness, with what appeared to be a mount for a camera stamped with the words “Equipment St Petersburg”, fuelled speculation that he was a “spy whale“.

Norwegian officials said Hvaldimir may have escaped an enclosure and been trained by the Russian navy as he appeared to be accustomed to humans.

Moscow has never responded to the speculation.
