🇺🇸🇦🇲🤝🇦🇿 Leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan shake hands and sign deal at White House peace summit

The leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan shook hands Friday at a White House peace summit before signing an agreement aimed at ending decades of conflict.

The two countries in the South Caucasus signed agreements with each other and the U.S. that will reopen key transportation routes while allowing the U.S. to seize on Russia’s declining influence in the region. The deal includes an agreement that will create a major transit corridor to be named the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity, the White House said.

The New York Times writes that Zelensky rejected Trump's proposal for Ukraine to exchange territories with Russia.

President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Saturday flatly rejected President Trump’s proposal that a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia could include “some swapping of territories” — a plan that would in effect mean ceding land to Moscow.

“Ukrainians will not give their land to the occupier,” Mr. Zelensky said in a video address from his office in Kyiv, several hours after Mr. Trump’s remarks.

“Any decisions made against us, any decisions made without Ukraine, are at the same time decisions against peace,” Mr. Zelensky said. “They will bring nothing. These are dead decisions; they will never work.”

🇺🇸🇲🇽🪖 Crenshaw says using U.S. military force in Mexico isn’t as extreme as it sounds

One of Congress’ leading proponents for using military force against Mexican drug cartels said he’d consider restricting armed action until Mexico approves of it — all to get Democrats more comfortable with the aggressive messaging.

In January, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), chair of the Republican-led Task Force to Combat Mexican Drug Cartels, alongside Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force to “put us at war with the cartels.”

🇲🇽 🇺🇸 Mexican Cartels reportedly armed with Javelin antitank missiles.

🔶️ David Saucedo, a security consultant, confirmed the Javelin is being used by cartels and suggested they could be revealing this information as a show of force to Mexico’s incoming president, who is to take power later this year.

🔶️ Javelins would be among the most extreme examples of the escalation in the arms race between cartels and Mexican military. Cartels’ arsenals now include belt-fed gatling guns, drone bombs and land mines, all with potential to provoke elected U.S. officials who have advocated invading Mexico.

🔶️ The police chief of the state of Aguascalientes, Porfirio Sánchez Mendoza, was flying across the capital city in his government helicopter in 2022, when the machine suddenly spiraled out of control.

🔶️ The crash was one in a string of similar accidents in Mexico in recent years. Like many, it was attributed to mechanical failures.

🔶️ But the internal forensics report tells another story, according to Saucedo, who has reviewed the internal documents. Saucedo - who has done security consulting for Mexican political candidates including for governor and senate – said the report details how an explosive projectile pierced the helicopter’s door, he said, and debris scattered in a circle inconsistent with a mechanical failure.

🔶️ The forensics point to a munition similar to a Javelin, he said, adding that, “part of the helicopter detached due to the impact.”

🇩🇪 One in three German firms still reporting too few orders

More than a third of companies in Germany say they are struggling with a lack of orders, according to new data published by the ifo Institute. The July survey shows that 36.7 percent of businesses across the country are facing insufficient demand, a figure only slightly lower than in April and still far above historical norms.

“Despite slight progress, the bottom has not been reached,” said Klaus Wohlrabe, Head of Surveys at the ifo Institute. “The persistent lack of orders remains a key obstacle to a substantial economic recovery.”

The situation has deteriorated further in industry, where 38.3 percent of companies now report too few orders. In the automotive sector, that figure jumped sharply from 35.4 percent in April to 42.6 percent in July. Mechanical engineering firms are reporting a 46.1 percent shortfall, while 40.6 percent of electrical equipment manufacturers and nearly half of all metal industry businesses are also affected.

Trade is still facing broad challenges. In wholesale, 66.2 percent of firms now say they are short on orders — up from 61.7 percent in the previous quarter. In retail, the figure has risen slightly from 50.6 percent to 51.0 percent, meaning half of all retailers are struggling to maintain demand.

The Trump administration is doubling to $50 million a reward for the arrest of Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro, accusing him of being one of the world's largest narco-traffickers and working with cartels to flood the U.S. with fentanyl-laced cocaine.

"Under President Trump's leadership, Maduro will not escape justice and he will be held accountable for his despicable crimes," Attorney General Pam Bondi said Thursday in a video announcing the reward.

🇺🇸🇾🇪 bonzerbarry on X: Trump called off operation rough rider because of a lack of intelligence on Houthi leadership and growing fears over an anti ship missile hitting the USS Truman, which would have created an image disaster for the US. -Calcalist

the real reason for stopping the attacks was a pragmatic consideration: American intelligence understood that without knowing where the Houthi leaders were hiding and where their missiles were hidden, the bombing campaign was doomed to failure -Calcalist

The operation became increasingly expensive: the Americans lost dozens of very expensive drones trying to find targets, and it was simply a waste of money -Calcalist

if an American ship is hit and the sailors are killed, the American public will demand revenge - led by his Republican voters. The Pentagon explained to the president that there was no way to take revenge without invading northern Yemen -Calcalist

The USS Truman performed those evasive zigzag maneuvers on April 28th in the Red Sea because the support ships could not shoot down all the missiles according to this article. This event spooked the entire military leadership.

Like I said on the day that Trump announced the “ceasefire”; it was so obvious that trump had capitulated to Ansarallah. Trump is always so full of shit.

After redrawing the missile patterns and reviewing radar logs from the april 28th event, navy experts reported to the admirals that “it might hit next time”. This was likely the death knell of operation rough rider.

🇮🇱 — The Temple Institute has not succeeded in producing a red heifer that meets the religious requirements for sacrifice, despite over twenty years of intensive breeding efforts in both Israel and the United States.

➡️In a recent Facebook post, the Israeli organization admitted that “all our efforts so far have been frustrated by the appearance of more than one non-red hair on all our potential candidates.” This issue has led to the disqualification of all the red heifers, including those brought from Texas, as they do not meet the strict halachic (Jewish legal) criteria.

➡️Jewish law dictates that the red heifer must be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives, directly facing the Temple Mount. This specific location allows the priest conducting the ritual to see into the area of the Holy of Holies, as it is directly east of the Temple site. The ashes from the sacrificed red heifer are essential for ritual purification, a prerequisite for rebuilding the Temple and restarting sacrificial worship. Orthodox Jews affiliated with the Temple Institute believe that the arrival of the Moshiach, or messiah, will follow the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and the reinstatement of these ancient rites.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇷🇹🇷 How 'Trump Bridge' May Soon Reshape Warzone Bordering Russia, Iran, Turkey

As he pushes forward to placate feuds simmering across several regions around the globe, President Donald Trump is set to soon oversee a new peace deal between two bitter rivals in the South Caucasus.

While the details of the anticipated U.S.-backed agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan have yet to be released as the leaders of both nations meet their U.S. counterpart for a two-day summit starting Thursday, a key aspect of the deal is being referred to as the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), or simply, the "Trump Bridge."

The prospective project would link Azerbaijan's mainland to its exclave province of Nakhchivan through Armenia via a hotly contested route known in Azerbaijan as the "Zangezur corridor" and in Armenia as "Syunik road."

The deal also comes on the heels of rapid shifts in the South Caucasus, where in 2023 Azerbaijan launched a swift offensive to seize control of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, dismantling 30 years of Armenia-backed separatist rule. The defeat, which followed staggering losses from Armenia in an earlier war with Azerbaijan in 2020, has left Armenia reconsidering its regional position, including its alliance with Russia and deep-rooted rivalry with Turkey.
