Approx 400 militants killed as Syrian Army, backed by Russian forces, crush terrorist attacks
Militants linked to the terrorist organization Jabhat al-Nusra launched attacks on Syrian government-controlled areas in Aleppo and Idlib provinces, Russian officials confirmed.

🚨ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI: THE MARKETS SAY TRUMP WON’T DO WHAT HE SAYS
‘The market perceives that Donald Trump won’t do what he says. So when Trump says he’s going to put 600% tariffs on certain industries, the market says he’s not going to do that.
‘When Trump says he’s going to deploy the military to deport 15 million people from the United States, which would hurt GDP and probably push us into a recession…the market says he’s not going to do that. What the market is saying is that Trump is going to run the government like a moderate, centrist Republican.’

Western Europe already ‘at war’ with Russia – ex-MI6 chief
Former MI6 chief Richard Dearlove has stated that Western Europe is now in a direct state of war with Russia, contradicting Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s view that the continent remains in a “pre-war” situation.
In an interview with Sky News, Dearlove, who led the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service from 1999 to 2004, during the invasion of Iraq, claimed that Moscow has already carried out aggressive actions on NATO soil, without providing evidence. “Donald Tusk has referred to it as a pre-war situation. I think he’s wrong. I think it’s an actual war,” he said.

Wrong candidate wins - blame TikTok: Romania edition
As the EU requested, Romanian authorities have begun probing TikTok’s role in the elections that saw NATO and EU-skeptic Calin Georgescu emerge as the frontrunner after the first round of voting.
Georgescu - who reportedly called Ukraine “an invented state” - has run his campaign as an independent largely through social media, pushing for supporting farmers, reducing import dependence, and ramping up local energy and food production.
Wonder which part they didn’t like - opinions on Kiev, or sensible appealing policies.
