THIS is the incredible moment fearless Ukrainian troops wipe out an entire Russian column with huge explosions and rampant gunfire. Ukraine's Leopard tank blitz took out 47 of Vladimir Putin's men, eliminated three armoured military trucks and blasted away two tanks. The dramatic footage, appearing to be from the city of Kurakhove in eastern Ukraine, shows a convoy of Russian tanks and motors steaming down a road before being spotted by Ukrainians. Several rounds of heavy gunfire then ring out in the clip as sparks fly towards Putin's military might. Giant clouds of smoke billow into the Ukrainian sky as...

In just a matter of months, it crossed the $1 billion mark, in a stunning and record-breaking pace. Now, less than a week since the vice president conceded the contest, it not only has run out of money, it’s still asking for more. The campaign emails and texts, known for their ubiquity throughout the election, aren’t expected to stop anytime soon.

I knew he voted red. He knew I voted blue. I had hoped the most capable and most inclusive candidate would win. He hoped his idea of a better America would win. He won, and, from where I stand, America lost. In the aftermath of Tuesday night’s results, still under the bed covers Wednesday morning, I scrolled social media looking for hope. I unfriended a few short-sighted FB friends— no need to continue our digital relationships and witness their selfishness and hate. Then I saw my husband’s post. “God Bless America. God bless #45, 47.” It had a few likes,...

Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said that Belfast is “reinventing itself” after the end of decades of conflict. The former US presidential candidate was speaking at the final day of the Global Innovation Summit 2024 at Queen’s University Belfast. The conference will be held at the University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, next October, which Ms Clinton said was a city that had also “risen again”. “You’ve heard so much over the course of the last few days about Belfast, another city that is quickly reinventing itself and one of the main reasons, I would argue, is because of...

CHICAGO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - After Kamala Harris secured the Democratic presidential nomination in an unprecedented party upheaval, she got some advice from former President Barack Obama: Tap the campaign talent pool that is out there; you can have anyone you want. Within days, Obama's former campaign manager David Plouffe and other high profile alumni from Obama's 2008 and 2012 election efforts joined her nascent campaign. "He just wanted her to know that she was in a position to recruit anyone she thought they needed," said a source familiar with Obama's and Harris' conversation.

All eyes were on Donald Trump's transition team Thursday, after a series of provocative and startling cabinet choices that showed the president-elect's preference for absolute loyalty above experience or expertise. Trump has been rapidly rolling out his foreign policy and national security picks, but he is expected to shift focus over the coming days to key figures to enact his domestic agenda. The Republican leader has yet to select treasury and commerce chiefs to help set tax and trade policy, a health secretary to oversee abortion, transgender care and a host of other potential flashpoints, or someone for education --...

ABC News has plans to revamp The View in light of Donald Trump's commanding win in the 2024 election. ABC execs are said to be panicking over the fact that their roundtable features a collection of women who are uniformly aligned with Democrats despite the fact that Trump appears to have won the popular vote and won 46% of women voters, a 3% improvement over 2020. If 46% of women voted for Trump, maybe the view could find one woman to represent that perspective on the show?

Next to a vandalised wire fence opposite HMP Bronzefield in Surrey, 28-year-old Beatrice Auty brushes away tears. The memories of her time inside the jail are too much to bear. She served more than a year here for money laundering, and claims she was sexually harassed by a male prison officer. “He made me feel very uncomfortable,” Auty says. “He commented on my appearance - a lot. He suggested he wanted to come to my cell - I feel if I had been up for it, he would have wanted sexual favours.” Auty says she reported what happened, and told...

Washington Examiner chief political correspondent Byron York warned that former Rep. Matt Gaetz is a “terrible pick” for attorney general. President-elect Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he had chosen Gaetz as the chief legal officer, and the Florida congressman subsequently resigned from the House of Representatives. While on Special Report with Bret Baier, other guests suggested that Gaetz was the choice to enact major reform in the Justice Department as Trump wants, but York said that “Matt Gaetz can still be a terrible pick” even if he does as Trump says.

Vladimir Putin has been forced to call up dozens of creaking T-55 tanks used by Russia's Hollywood as props in war films. The army has raided the Mosfilm warehouses in its desperation to invade Ukraine. Desperate Russian president Putin thanked movie chief Karen Shakhnazarov for the outdated Cold War military hardware during a Kremlin meeting. 'We have handed over to the [Russian] Armed Forces 28 T-55 tanks, eight PT-76 tanks, six BMPs (combat vehicles) and eight tractors [that] we had stored at the military-technical base,' Shakhnazarov said. 'I found out that there was a need, contacted the Ministry of Defence...

Day #51 of the Top 50 songs on my iTunes playlist -- ranked in reverse order by play frequency from #50 to #1 and presented here on a series of FR threads.

Russia is open to contact with the US under the Donald Trump administration, but the ball is in the US court, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with journalist Marina Kim as reported in by its state media TASS. Days after the Kremlin denied media reports that US President-elect Donald Trump held a call with Vladimir Putin, in which he is said to have warned the Russian president against escalating the war in Ukraine, Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov on Thursday said that his country has no expectations from the new US administration, but will assess its concrete...

The price of potatoes - a staple of the Russian diet - have increased by 64 percent this year, according to the latest figures. -snip- Sergei Chemezov, who is the CEO of the state-owned defence giant Rostec, warned that sky-high interest rates are eroding business profitability and could lead to widespread bankruptcies. TsMAKP echoed these concerns. He cautioned that “the current high interest rate and the prospect of further increases create a risk of economic downturn and a collapse in investments.” -snip- Recent data showed a 3.1% contraction year-on-year in the latest quarter, with more slowdowns expected as war-related disruptions...

Trump will not fall for Putin's tricks and could end up being a nightmare for the Russian leader. -snip- American media was so beguiled by the KGB operative in the Kremlin that Putin was chosen as "Person of the Year" by Time magazine in 2007 and four times in a row from 2013 to 2016 by Forbes magazine as the "World’s Most Powerful Individual." Putin’s trickery didn’t work with former President Trump, however. You see, Trump invented the game. He loves talking with people and understands the value of communicating, even with foreign dictators. Last month, Trump angered the commentariat...
