U.S. military command officials said Tuesday that a Russian fighter jet dumped fuel on a U.S. drone over the Black Sea, clipped the drone's propeller and forced it into the water. Russia is now denying that the aircraft touched one another, and accusing the U.S. of unnecessarily escalating the issue.

He claimed that the drone crashed after undertaking "sharp maneuvers," Reuters reports. He later wrote on his Telegram channel, "We consider any action with...

KALININGRAD, Russia -- Igor Pleshkov owns a concrete factory in this Russian Baltic Sea exclave encircled by European Union members Lithuania and Poland. As tensions burn red hot between Russia and the West over Moscow’s military invasion of Ukraine, he is worried. “What will come next is hard to say,” he shrugged. “The situation is changing every minute -- for the worse.” Like Pleshkov’s factory, most businesses in the region of about 1 million people, depend on imports for raw materials, spare parts, and equipment. Residents are nervously watching the unfolding political situation and the alarming collapse of the value...

Notice That Leftist Media Discusses Race Violence in Terms of UNPPROVOKED ATTACKS. As If Violence Is Acceptable in PROVOKED ATTACKS. IN CRT ALL DISAGREEMENTS ARE PROVOKED ATTACKS. Setup for Leftists to Justify UPCOMING ATTACKS AGAINST CONSERVATIVES. This is Purposeful. The Elite Plan Genocide. And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad,...

In the recording, the girl is punched several times by three females while sitting on a park bench at Crooke Ave. and Parade Place. Police said the attack appears to have been unprovoked.

Oh, Yeah! Oh, Yeah!” Other females who are present also appear to be egging the girls on. A girl wearing pink shorts and a white T-shirt pulls...

The Arab man gets up, walks toward the Jew and punches him hard in the side of the head. The Jew falls writhing to the floor. Men who were present in the clinic escort...

US President Barack Obama has the authority to launch air strikes against Syria. But he has to notify lawmakers in Congress -- a process which has begun, according to both sides. "The administration is actively consulting with members of Congress, and we will continue to have these conversations in the days ahead," Kerry said Monday in a strongly-worded statement on Syria.
