Greenland said that it has warned the United States of its clear “red lines” that it will not cross in talks over its future with Washington. The island’s prime minister, Jens-Frederik Nielsen, has said that he won’t go into details, but that the “conclusion is already written.” Greenland has been on the Trump administration’s wish list of takeovers. The autonomous Danish territory has been at the center of a transatlantic rift since U.S. ruler Donald Trump announced plans to annex it, citing its mineral wealth and strategic location, while refusing to rule out force and threatening tariffs on opponents of…

After a half-century of flying turboprop ISR aircraft, the U.S. Army is turning to business jets. The service plans to buy up to 11 customized Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft for its High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System, or HADES, program, according to the Army’s recent Request for Information. Contractors must be able to provide up to four planes per year, based on a contract award in October 2026. The RFI specifies an aircraft that can operate at an altitude of 41,000 to 51,000 feet — identical to the cruise and maximum altitudes listed by Bombardier for the Global 6500. The…

The United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia have denied United States President Donald Trump the airspace needed for his “beautiful armada.” Trump sent the ships toward Iran as a show of force, or as what many have said was the first step in an imminent attack. Anonymous Sources Say That A U.S. Attack on Iran Is Imminent Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in a phone call on Tuesday that the kingdom “will not allow its airspace or territory to be used for any military actions against Iran.” This news came shortly after an announcement on…

The recent Operation Absolute Resolve captured Venezuelan President Maduro in a stunning display of American military power. Yet weeks later, pro-government forces still control Caracas, and the country remains “uninvestable.”This gap between tactical brilliance and strategic stalemate reveals the central flaw in the Pentagon’s new National Defense Strategy: America can project overwhelming force anywhere on Earth, but increasingly lacks the sustained presence to turn military victories into enduring outcomes.The Jan. 24 National Defense Strategy, or NDS for short, confronts a hard reality: the United States cannot simultaneously deter China in the Taiwan Strait, defend the Panama Canal, guarantee European security,…

This article was originally published by Rhoda Wilson at The Exposé. A research paper published earlier this month states that one of the researchers’ aims is to develop a vaccine to overcome vaccine hesitancy.  The method chosen to spread the vaccine among the population is a self-replicating RNA (srRNA) or self-amplifying mRNA (saRNA or sa-mRNA, samRNA), also referred to as replicon vaccines. This gain-of-function research is being supported by the US military. The Architects of Destruction Are Busy at Work By Dr. Guy Hatchard, 20 January 2026 Newly published research papers demonstrate that gain-of-function research designed to investigate the effects of deadly pathogens is…

President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to American cities cost taxpayers about $496 million in 2025, according to new estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. The agency said Wednesday that maintaining current troop levels could add $93 million per month to the total, with each additional activation of 1,000 service members costing between $18 million and $21 million. It cautioned, however, that the precise price tag is hard to foresee. “The costs of those or other deployments in the future are highly uncertain, mainly because the scale, length, and location of such deployments are difficult to predict…
