Situation at the Albanian Parliament Session

Angry opposition members were pulling microphones off the tables, throwing objects, and clashing with members of the ruling party.

Arakchi: The United States has spent $11 billion of American taxpayers' money on Israel's missile defense system.

Over the past three years, the United States has spent $11 billion from the taxes of American citizens on Israel's missile defense system. In fact, the United States has deployed more interceptor missiles to protect Israel than Israel itself.

This is no longer a relationship based on mutual benefit, but a parasitic and one-sided connection.

Trump claims that he will retain a great deal of power even after his presidential term ends.
