Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

A diet is sweeping through Trump's cabinet that is very different that the president's own

It involves so much sauerkraut and fermented food

“Within 30 days I lost 20 pounds,” RFK Jr said in Michigan. “JD Vance is also on the diet and you can see how different he looks.”

Submit to a deal that leaves Iran considerably stronger, or he breaks w US & try to scupper the deal.

EXCLUSIVE: The United Arab Emirates is working on a highly ambitious plan to try to end its dependence on the Strait of Hormuz.
“We’re moving toward having zero Hormuz dependency and that’s regardless of whether it’s open or not,” the UAE’s Minister of Foreign Trade Thani Al Zeyoudi told me. “It’s going to open and we hope that will happen quickly, but we will not stop the new plan.”
