Yhdysvallat pidättää aseita Israelilta, jos se hyökkää Rafahiin.
“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah ..., I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities – that deal with that problem,” Biden said in an interview with CNN.
"Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which they go after population centers," he said when asked about 2,000-pound bombs sent to Israel.
Israel this week attacked Rafah, where more than one million Palestinians have sought refuge, but Biden said he did not consider Israel’s strikes a… Lue lisää

Pimeys muistopäivänä: Venäjän strateginen hyökkäys Ukrainan sähköverkkoon
On a day historically marked by the celebration of victory over Nazism in World War II, Ukraine found itself under a different kind of siege. In a grim twist of fate, the country was plunged into darkness, not by the setting sun, but by a calculated and 'massive' attack on its power grid by Russian forces. This assault, described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as a massive nighttime attack, saw more than 50 cruise missiles and explosive drones raining down across seven regions, targeting the very lifelines of energy that power homes, hospitals, and the heartbeat of the… Lue lisää

Trump suunnittelee lähettävänsä tapporyhmiä Meksikoon poistamaan huumepomoja.
Donald Trump is planning to send US assassination squads into Mexico to kill the leaders of drug cartels if he returns to the White House, according to a report.
The former president, 77, has spoken publicly of his determination to tackle America’s fentanyl crisis by “waging war” on the criminal gangs who fuel it.
But Mr Trump is yet to announce the full extent of his plans which, according to Rolling Stone, involve covertly deploying — with or without the Mexican government’s consent — special-operations units tasked with assassinating drug lords.

Marines paljastaa uusimman Kamikaze-droonin
OPF-L seeks to arm Marines with easy-to-use, explosives-laden, man-portable loitering munitions, also commonly referred to as kamikaze drones.

U.S. and Arizona Grapple with Immigration Policy Changes and Challenges
In a significant move that underscores the ongoing debate over immigration policy in the United States, the Biden administration is poised to propose a rule aimed at tightening the asylum process.

Ukraine turns to prisons to replenish frontline forces
Ukraine is to start recruiting prisoners to fight against Russia under a new law designed to bolster its frontline forces, including with men convicted of murder or fraud.
Using a tactic Moscow has relied on to fill ranks since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Kyiv would begin to offer certain convicts a path to freedom if they are willing to join a combat unit.
The bill, approved on Wednesday by the Ukrainian parliament, is the latest in a series of measures aimed at mobilising more men to replace casualties and soldiers exhausted from long tours on the frontline. It still requires… Lue lisää

Boeing-rahtilentokone tekee hätälaskun Istanbulissa ilman etutelavaa
A FedEx Airlines Boeing 767 cargo plane made a dramatic emergency landing at Istanbul Airport without its front landing gear deployed, sparking an immediate investigation by Turkish authorities.

The aircraft, arriving from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, managed to stay on the runway despite the failure of its landing gear to open, a situation that could have led to a far more serious outcome.

Colorado hyväksyy lain, joka avaa äänestyskeskuksia vankiloissa
The Colorado legislature on Friday adopted a first-in-the-nation reform last week to fix this. Senate Bill 72, which now awaits the signature of Governor Jared Polis to become law, would give people held in local jails a lot more opportunities to obtain and cast a ballot.
It would require that sheriffs establish polling stations within local jails across Colorado each general election to operate for at least one six-hour period. It would also require every jail to designate a ballot drop-off location, for those who want to vote by mail.

Trump Tax Cut Extension Cost Swells to $3.8 Trillion
The cost of extending the 2017 tax cuts enacted under President Donald Trump has expanded to $3.8 trillion over ten years, putting a massive price tag on what is likely to be a top issue in Washington next year, according to new estimates from Congress’s fiscal scorekeeper.
The Congressional Budget Office’s estimate, released Wednesday, is double the $1.9 trillion cost of the original Trump tax cuts — a more expansive bill which also included permanent reductions in corporate taxes.

Retired Army General Says U.S. Can't Criticize Israel War Crimes
At the 2024 AI Expo in Washington D.C. On May 7th 2024:
Ret. Gen. Mark Milley says the US has committed so many war crimes over the years, it has no right to criticize Israel's devastation of Gaza
Palantir CEO Alex Karp chimes in: "The peace activists are actually the war activists, and we're the peace activists."
Karp says of Gaza anti-genocide protesters, "You are an infection inside our society!"
Gen. Milley repeats debunked Israeli propaganda about beheadings and sexual assault on Oct 7 to argue that the US would have done the same thing Israel is currently doing to Gaza if it had been attacked.
Karp presents the Palestine solidarity campus protest movement as an existential threat to American empire: "If we lose the intellectual battle, we will not be able to deploy any army in the West, ever."

USA "keskeytti" 3 500 pommin toimituksen Israeliin
The shipment was meant to transfer 3,500 bombs to Israel, which the United States halted over worries about the large munitions in the package being used in an urban setting, an anonymous administration official told the Associated Press. The package included 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs, according to the AP.
The pause marks the first time the U.S. has publicly held up military aid to Israel since the October 7 Hamas attack. An American official described the decision to the Washington Post as a “shot across the bow” to signal the Biden administration’s unease with a Rafah operation.

A few hours later, it became clear that the celebrations were premature. The agreement accepted by Hamas turned out to be a counteroffer that Israel hadn’t seen and wouldn’t agree to, shattering hopes of an imminent end to months of hostilities.
