⚡Russia’s FSB security service on Friday announced that the accreditation of six British diplomats had been withdrawn for suspected espionage and for “threatening Russia’s security”.

Russia’s FSB security service on Friday announced that the accreditation of six British diplomats had been withdrawn for suspected espionage and for “threatening Russia’s security”.

“As a measure of reprisals to the multiple unfriendly acts of London, the Russian foreign ministry … has withdrawn the accreditation of six employees from the political department of the British embassy in Moscow,” it said in a statement.

Accusing them of carrying out “subversive activities and intelligence” gathering, the FSB said it had “documentary” proof confirming London’s “coordination of an escalation in the international political and military situation”.

It said the British foreign ministry’s Eastern Europe and Central Asia department was coordinating moves aimed at inflicting a “strategic defeat” on Russia.

Don’t be proud of ignorance

There’s nowhere that child support makes up financially for the work and money a single mom puts into raising the kids on her own. You’re just too deluded to believe that men nowadays are actually not evolving hence make bad spouses for modern wives.

Your opinion about what single moms are is entirely yours.

And how have women evolved? 😆

Is whoring and popping out kids for different men like a dog also part of the evolution? Is there another definition of evolution i need to know about? 😁

⚡ Namibia’s Largest Solar Power Plant to Be Built by China

NamPower has awarded a contract to Chinese companies, China Jiangxi International Economic and Technical Cooperation Co. Ltd and Chint New Energy Development Co. Ltd, to build Namibia’s largest solar power plant.

The $78.33 million project will add 100 MW to the country’s existing capacity of 500 MW, reducing reliance on imports from Zambia and South Africa. The plant will help stabilize tariffs and support economic growth.

German development bank KfW will fund 80%, with NamPower covering the rest. Construction will take 18 months, with operations expected by mid-2026.

But yall be the loudest voices against single moms. If she left him she would have been a single mom. Isn’t that an abomination according to yous?

Two truths can coexist.

Many, if not all single moms left for the wrong reasons, especially greed (divorce settlement and child support). Not because their husbands were abusive or controlling.

Single moms are the bottom barrel and shouldn't even be considered by any decent man. It's just like choosing between a brand new car and a badly used accidented car with too much mileage.

⚡Russian President Vladimir Putin has postponed several official visits to Türkiye since last year, with officials citing multiple reasons.

Putin has requested to fly to Türkiye with Russian fighter jet escorts, primarily due to security concerns.

The request for Russian fighter jets to fly into Turkish airspace is complex, as Turkey's NATO-aligned air defense systems may perceive the Russian jets as enemy targets. There are concerns about whether Türkiye would disable NATO systems to accommodate this demand.

Russian and Turkish officials are in discussions about a potential visit in early October, but the demand for Russian fighter jet escorts makes scheduling difficult. The last time Putin visited Türkiye was in 2014.

Former Turkish ambassadors noted that while Türkiye may send fighter jets to escort foreign heads of state, it is highly unusual for a leader to request bringing their own fighter jets.

Putin’s security team has also raised concerns about staying in Ankara. They consider the major hotels—Hilton, Sheraton, and JW Marriott—unsafe due to their U.S. ownership.

⚡Elon Musk:

America is going bankrupt extremely quickly. We have to reduce the spending or this will not have a good ending.

"America is going bankrupt extremely quickly.

And everyone seems to be whistling past the graveyard on this one.

The Defense Department budget is a very big budget, okay?

It's a trillion dollars a year, DoD, Intel, a trillion dollars.

And interest payments on the national debt just exceeded the Defense Department budget.

They're over a trillion dollars a year, just in interest and rising.

We're adding a trillion dollars to our debt, which our kids and grandkids are going to have to pay somehow, every three months, and then soon it's going to be every two months and then every month.

And then, the only thing we'll be able to pay is interests.

And it's just like a person at scale that has racked up too much credit card debt.

This does not have a good ending.

We have to reduce the spending."

⚡Germany's military capabilities have declined significantly over the past 30 years due to budget cuts.

In 2021, Germany had only 340 tanks, compared to over 4000 in 1992 and 2400 in 2004. Similar reductions occurred for other weapons systems like howitzers and fighter jets.

German military capacity has increased only slightly since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

At the current procurement rate, it would take decades to reach 2004 levels: 10 years for fighter jets, 40 years for tanks, 100 years for howitzers. In comparison, Russia could produce Germany's entire 2021 military stock in 2-7 months.

⚡Türkiye is in talks with Somalia to establish a site for testing ballistic missiles and launching space rockets.

The proposed location is strategically important due to Somalia's position on the eastern tip of Africa and proximity to the equator.

Türkiye needs a long-range testing site for its ballistic missile program. Somalia's location is ideal for firing towards the Indian Ocean. The equatorial location could boost the range and efficiency of space rockets.

Turkish officials are confident that Somalia will agree to the request.
