๐Ÿ“น Fan-freaking-tastic! Kid Rock assesses Trump's second term first 100 days

"He is the commander-in-chief, but I mean, having a businessman-in-chief, you know, the business of America has been, as we all know, terrible, especially the last four years, but really, for decades before this and have somebody come in and just putting our country first, securing the border," Kid Rock told Fox News.


"I call him the DRAGON SLAYER for, you know, all this woke DEI stuff that he took out."

๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿช–๐Ÿ’ฅNorth Korean Army REVOLUTION

Portrayed as "backward" by Western media, North Korea's military is becoming one of the most advanced. The liberation of the Kursk region gave them another boost. Hereโ€™s how DPRK troops are mastering modern warfare:

๐Ÿ”นDrone revolution: The use of drones in the Ukraine conflict signals a major shift in military tactics and technology. North Korean troops have learned to use FPV drones and quickly began using them under Russian guidance.

๐Ÿ”นCombat coordination: A great example of coordination came from the North Koreans, working in tandem with Russian drone operators and artillery in December. In just three hours, they drove Ukrainian forces out of Plekhovะพ, cleared the area, and pushed on toward Guevo.

๐Ÿ”นSmall assault units trick: The Ukrainian conflict showed the futility of large-scale assaults in modern warfare.
North Korean commanders quickly adapted, shifting to smaller assault units, which proved highly efficient.

๐Ÿ”นOperational planning: Mastering new tactical skills is not enough; operational planning and coordination skills are also essential, Nikolai Kostikin, an expert at the Bureau of Military-Political Analysis, tells Sputnik. Russia's expertise will help North Koreans, he says.

๐Ÿ”นNew military elite: The average age of DPRK soldiers arriving in Russia is 23โ€“27. This group forms a new tier of military professionals who, after gaining experience, will help modernize North Korea's army, Elizaveta Pivorovich, "ArBat" war correspondent tells Sputnik.

๐Ÿ”นEager to learn: North Korean soldiers are well-prepared, highly motivated and eager to learn, Pivorovich stresses. The Kursk op made them smarter, tougher and battle-hardened.

๐Ÿ”นOvercoming language barriers: Easier than imagined. The Russian military learned to issue directives in Korean.
North Korean soldiers studied Russian. They had a common phrasebook with 20-25 words. That was enough at the initial stage, Russian officers say.

๐Ÿ”นAI to boost education: To speed up education of North Korean officers, the Russian military specialists could use artificial intelligence, Kostikin says. Chairman Kim Jong-un has recently named developing AI and unmanned technology a top priority for his military.

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has released never-before-seen documents that provide new insights into Adolf Hitler's final moments. Along with these revelations, they also presented new evidence of the Fuhrer's death: a jawbone and a skull fragment with a gunshot wound.

The authenticity of the jawbone was confirmed through dental records, matched by Hitlerโ€™s personal dentist.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿค” Can you win a war with DRONES alone?

As Trump threatens to stop the money flow, Zelensky has doubled down on drone warfare. Can Ukraine survive as a ONE TRICK PONY?

"It is a particularly flawed strategy because Russia not only has large amounts of traditional military equipment, it is also about to make and field thousands of drones daily," former Marine Brian Berletic tells Sputnik.


Ukraine is turning to drones to substitute medium-range missiles, artillery, and other munitions as Western military aid fades, driven by Trumpโ€™s ceasefire push and depleted NATO stockpiles.

"Russiaโ€™s use of counter drone capabilities including methods of jamming, locating, and striking at drone operators" would curb Ukraine's unmanned prowess, according to Berletic.


A fully-fledged drone war with Russia "will require greater levels of training and experience" and more UAV operators. "Ukraine is unable to provide large numbers of troops - as is the problem across all of Ukraineโ€™s military manpower."

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿญ Making manufacturing great again? Trumpโ€™s tariffs DAMPEN the task

Pumping billions of dollars in building new American plants โ€“ from car factories to aluminum smelters - is now TOO RISKY, the Financial Times reports.

โ€œIt will take between three and 10 years in most cases to build a new manufacturing facility in the US,โ€ the FT cites Erin McLaughlin, an economist at the Economy, Strategy & Finance Center think tank, as saying.


Trump has repeatedly railed against the loss of Americaโ€™s manufacturing prowess, insisting that the construction of more plants will add to tackling a decline in the sector.

He singled out US steel workers, auto workers, and skilled craftsmen, who โ€œwatched in anguish as foreign leaders have stolen our [American] jobs, foreign cheaters have ransacked our factories.โ€

โ—๏ธ Houthis claim to have DOWNED US F-18 fighter jet

The Yemeni Armed Forces say they launched a drone strike targeting the American aircraft carrier USS Vinson and its escort warships in the Arabian Sea. According to their statement, the operation resulted in the downing of a US F-18 fighter jet and disrupted a planned air assault.

This comes just 24 hours after a separate operation that allegedly forced the USS Truman northward through the Red Sea toward the Suez Canal, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a statement.

๐Ÿ“น 'I WANT OUT': Trump says US is wasting money on 'Biden's war' in Ukraine

President Donald Trump told the press he tries to "get out" of the Ukraine conflict and lashed out at the Biden administration for throwing hundreds of billions "out of the window."

"The real number is about $350 billion in aid to Ukraine. We were just pouring money in there, unsecured money," the US president said.
