Vladimir Putin’s blundering chief TV propagandist has given away the top secret location of Russia’s most elite drone unit. An unburied toilet sign in a report by Vladimir Solovyov led to the Rubicon HQ being geolocated. The trail leads to Hall D and part of Hall C at the Patriot Exhibition Centre, near Moscow. The site has been already targeted by Ukrainian attack drones, and could be again. Solovyov is a highly-paid state TV propagandist for Putin and the war - and the careless blunder failing to mask the toilet signs in a report about Rubicon is a huge embarrassment....

The backlash against FBI Director Kash Patel over the bungled search for Charlie Kirk's assassin has intensified as it emerged he went on an expletive-laden rant against his staff over the failures. Patel came under fresh fire after it emerged that suspect Tyler Robinson had finally been arrested for the alleged murder of Kirk, 31, after being turned in by his own family. Robinson's arrest Thursday night came after a 33-hour manhunt in which two other men were wrongfully detained. The mix-up led Patel to incorrectly announce that investigators had someone in custody on Wednesday before he was forced to...

The Daily Mail can exclusively reveal Ken Paxton, 62, was secretly seeing a married Christian influencer behind the backs of both their partners.

Utah Governor Spencer Cox basked in praise for his 'unity' plea at Friday's FBI press conference — but the man whose alleged assassin he was discussing once wanted him expelled from the Republican Party. Cox dominated the podium detailing Charlie Kirk's murder just three years after the TPUSA founder branded him a 'weak moderate' who 'should be expelled from the Republican party.'

Now friends of the slain activist find it 'ironic' that the same...

Vladimir Putin's only aircraft carrier - the hulking Admiral Kuznetsov - is poised to be scrapped after seven failed years of repairs, say reports. Work on the jinxed ship, the largest in the Russian navy, has now been suspended despite the efforts to get it back in the water. News outlet Izvestia cites sources saying the vessel is likely destined for the scrapheap. Putin's 'Ship of Shame' is languishing in dock in grim Arctic port Murmansk, and has played no role in the war against Ukraine. Its crew were quietly sent to fight in the war instead. The 58,000-ton rust...

Russia's sacked transport minister has been found dead in his Tesla outside Moscow with a gunshot wound and the principal hypothesis is that he took his own life, state investigators said on Monday, hours after President Vladimir Putin fired him. A presidential decree published earlier on Monday gave no reason for the dismissal of Roman Starovoit after barely a year in the job, though political analysts were quick to raise the possibility that he may have been dismissed in connection with an investigation into corruption in the region he once ran. Reuters could not independently confirm these suggestions, though a...

As Iran continues to consider further retaliation against the US after it bombed its nuclear facilities, experts warned enacting sleeper cell agents could be a high possibility, especially on college campuses. With Russia and terrorists group Hezbollah and Hamas unable to help Iran as they have wars of their own to contend with, Iran's ability to hit the US where it hurts has become limited. The country doesn't have missiles that can reach the mainland US, however, it isn't entirely powerless. 'Iran’s ability to react militarily is increasingly minimalized. We have to remember that Iran’s terrorist proxies have been severely...

Iranian lawmakers have voted in favour of suspending cooperation with the United Nations' nuclear watchdog after US and Israeli warplanes battered nuclear facilities across the country over 12 days of strikes.

He went on to announce that 'the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran will suspend its cooperation with the IAEA until the security of the nuclear facilities is guaranteed.' The bill is said to be subject to approval from...
