Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned.

Small businesses are caught in an inflation compounding effect, with prices for inputs, labor, transportation and energy all cutting into margins, while rent prices soared too, and now landlords are pressing the most since Covid began for full payments as the economy cools and sales slow. There are options, from negotiating with landlords who don’t want empty storefronts, to business-to-business (B2B) owners...

The Ukrainian military announced on Monday that it had launched offensive operations in multiple areas along the front line in the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, perhaps signaling the start of a long planned counteroffensive aimed at retaking territory seized by Russia.

A United States defense official lent support to the idea that Ukraine...

Over the next several months, FFO will be releasing a series of revelations about domestic censorship operations being run out of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). We have spent the past 16 weeks mapping virtually every element of DHS partnerships and operations connected to Internet censorship, and our findings tally to a government scandal so bizarre, and so disturbing, that its full story can only be told through an ongoing series. As a preview, in the clip below (source), you can watch a taxpayer-funded DHS video, instructing children to report their own family members to Facebook for “disinformation” if...

“Jesus sternly warned them: ‘See that no one knows about this!’ But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land” (Matthew 9:30–31). Usually believers need to say more, not less, about the gospel of Jesus Christ. But here our Lord had definite reasons for commanding the people to whom He had ministered most directly not to publicize what had occurred. He did not forbid them from speaking simply because He did not want their specific healing made known or because He did not want His miracles in general to be proclaimed. The miracles were evidence...
