    Suspected Chinese spy balloon found over northern U.S.. Defense Dept officials have debated whether to shoot it down!

    The U.S. military has been monitoring a suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that has been hovering over the northern U.S. for the past few days, and military and defense leaders have discussed shooting it out of the sky, according to two U.S. officials and a senior defense official.

    “The United States government has detected and is tracking a high-altitude surveillance balloon that is over the continental United States right now,” Pentagon spokesperson Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder told NBC News. “We continue to track and monitor it closely.”

    MORE ON THIS DEVELOPING STORY..

    A Chinese surveillance balloon is collecting intelligence over the continental United States “right now,” senior U.S. officials disclosed Thursday, acknowledging that the Pentagon has been monitoring the craft for several days and briefly considered shooting it down before concluding that doing so posed a safety risk.

    The balloon is traveling at an altitude “well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground,” Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman, told reporters in a hastily arranged news conference where he addressed the ongoing situation. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) continues to track the balloon’s course, but officials would not specify its present whereabouts.

    And this..

    Montana’s Republican Senator Steve Daines sent a letter to the Department of Defense (DOD) demanding answers on the suspected Chinese spy balloon spotted above his state.

    Daines sent a late letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday amid reports of the suspected surveillance balloon over U.S. airspace.

  • North Korea fires missile: Japan orders shelter

    North Korea fires missile: Japan orders shelter

    War drums loud

    The Japanese government says a North Korean missile appears to have flown over Japan and fallen into the ocean.

    Officials believe the missile was launched from a location in North Korea at about 7:22 a.m. Japan time.

    They said it appeared to be a ballistic missile, and was heading towards Hokkaido and Aomori prefectures in northern Japan.

    The Japanese government issued an alert through the nationwide emergency warning system, which sends information to local governments through satellites.

    It told people in the areas to take shelter in sturdy buildings or underground.

    At 7:46 a.m., officials said the missile may have flown over Japan and fallen into the Pacific Ocean.

    They say it appears to have fallen outside of the country’s exclusive economic zone.

    It’s the seventh time ever that a ballistic missile has flown over Japan.

    The defense ministry says it is the 23rd time that North Korea has test-fired missiles this year. Officials from Japan, the US, and South Korea are monitoring the situation.

    Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio says” We strongly condemn the launch as an outrageous act. In response to it, I have instructed officials to check for possible damage caused by falling objects, to thoroughly collect and analyze information, and cooperate with allies.”

    Japan’s largest rail operator halted bullet train service in northern Japan as a precaution.

    Transportation officials also issued a warning to air traffic around the country

  • Planet Earth on edge: Russia ‘moves military equipment into Europe’s biggest nuke power plant’

    Planet Earth on edge: Russia ‘moves military equipment into Europe’s biggest nuke power plant’

    According to analysis from Canadian Forces Intelligence Command, Moscow has pumped military equipment into the site, including close to reactor buildings and other key plots.

    It comes after separate video emerged online showing Russian military vehicles, including one marked up with the pro-war “Z” symbol, inside a turbine hall connected to a nuke reactor.

    A number of pallets could also be seen close to the trucks, though it is unclear when the footage, verified by CNN, was taken.

    But Russia previously insisted the only military equipment at the plant is related to guard duties.

  • Fears in Europe over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

    Fears in Europe over the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

    NBC: Why is the world so worried about Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant? Experts warn that an explosion around the plant, which is being shelled, could leak radiation across Europe.

    Built by the then-Soviet Union in the 1980s, Zaporizhzhia’s six light-water reactors make it among the 10 most powerful nuclear power stations in the world.

    After the invasion began Feb. 24, the Kremlin war machine took a little over a week to capture the plant at Enerhodar, a city that is around a 2-hour drive southwest of the larger Zaporizhzhia.

    Russian forces’ seizure of the plant a week after the invasion began caused initial concerns when a fire erupted at the site after shelling.

    That offensive marked the first time in history that war had broken out in a country with such a large and advanced nuclear power infrastructure, according to the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency, which reports to the United Nations.

    That panic renewed this week after shelling damaged several buildings and a power cable, and put one reactor offline, according to Energoatom, Ukraine’s national energy company.

    The plant provides Ukraine with more than 20% of its power.

    Moscow is “blackmailing the whole world with the possibility of a nuclear disaster,” according to Hryhoriy Plachkov, former head of the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine.

    Russia, which is occupying the plant, has traded accusations of responsibility with Ukraine, which appears to be mounting a renewed offensive in the south of the country.

    It is not known how many of the plant’s 11,000 prewar staff continue to work at the site. One former employee told NBC News that it was “very scary for them to work” under Russian control, amid reports that some of them were being held hostage.

  • FORBES EXCLUSIVE: ISIS Plotting To Assassinate George W. Bush In Dallas

    FORBES EXCLUSIVE: ISIS Plotting To Assassinate George W. Bush In Dallas

    An alleged ISIS operative in the U.S. was plotting to kill George W. Bush, going so far as to travel to Dallas in November to take video around the former president’s home and recruiting help from a team of compatriots he hoped to smuggle into the country over the Mexican border, according to an FBI search-warrant application filed March 23 and unsealed this week in the Southern District of Ohio.

    The FBI said it uncovered the scheme through the work of two confidential informants and surveillance of the alleged plotter’s account on the Meta-owned WhatsApp messaging platform. The alleged ISIS operative, based in Columbus, Ohio, said he wanted to assassinate Bush because he felt the former president was responsible for killing many Iraqis and breaking apart the country after the 2003 U.S. military invasion, according to the warrant.

  • Zelensky warns that’s Russian blockade could lead to food shortage globally

    Zelensky warns that’s Russian blockade could lead to food shortage globally

    “Russian officials are also openly threatening the world that there will be famine in dozens of countries,” he said. “And what could be the consequences of such a famine? What political instability and migration flows will this lead to? How much will you have to spend then to overcome the consequences?”

    His comments came after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said his country is “not of a favorable opinion” of a move by Finland and, potentially, Sweden to join NATO. Ministers from both countries are expected to attend an informal meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Berlin later today.

    Ukraine foreign minister: Mariupol doesn’t exist anymore

    Ukraine’s southern port city of Mariupol has been razed to the ground as Russian forces make “desperate” attempts to finish taking the city “at any cost,” Ukraine Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Sunday.

    Kuleba appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and described how the situation in Mariupol is “dire militarily” and “heartbreaking” after seven weeks under siege at the hands of the Russian army.

    “The city doesn’t exist anymore,” Kuleba said, adding that Ukrainian forces and a large group of civilians in the port city are encircled by Moscow’s forces. “They continue their struggle, but it seems from the way the Russian army behaves in Mariupol, they decided to raze the city to the ground at any cost.”

    Reports: Radiation from Chernobyl now deadly for Russian troops

    A RUSSIAN soldier has been killed by radiation from the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine after his unit camped in a toxic zone nearby, according to reports. The soldier was part of a unit that captured the Chernobyl plant in the first days of the war. 

    The troops then occupied the 20-mile exclusion zone around the plant, where people are banned from living due to dangerous levels of radiation left over by the nuclear disaster in 1986. 

    Ukraine’s state nuclear company Energoatom said Russian troops had dug trenches in the radioactive mud of the most contaminated part of the exclusion zone and had received “significant doses” of radiation. 

    They had reportedly camped in the dangerous zone known as the Red Forest, where radiation levels are at their highest and become ill “very quickly”. 

    Troops also drove their trucks along dirt roads without wearing radiation gear, disturbing poisonous radioactive dust, Reuters reported

    Putin addresses his nation—and calls people opposed to him inside Russia ‘scum’ and traitors to be spit out

    The speech of Russian president Vladimir Putin was perhaps the best showcase of a war in Ukraine not going according to plan, and Putin backed in the corner as Russian oligarchs ponder their future finances.

    There’s a number of possibilities as Putin desperately tries to rationalize the invasion of Ukraine, with one of the worst case scenarios still being on the table.

    Pray that World War III doesn’t happen…

  • DO YOU WANT THIS WAR? Ukraine President Zelensky addresses Congress; Uses both Pearl Harbor and 9/11 references to lobby for American intervention!

    DO YOU WANT THIS WAR? Ukraine President Zelensky addresses Congress; Uses both Pearl Harbor and 9/11 references to lobby for American intervention!

    Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy invoked the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Sept. 11 terror strikes on America on Wednesday as he pleaded with the U.S. Congress to get more aid for his country to fight against its invasion by Russia.

    Zelensky asked the U.S. to implement a no-fly zone over Ukraine to stem the Russian attacks.

    “Is this a lot to ask for to create a no-fly zone over Ukraine to save people?” “Is this too much to ask?” he said in the speech, which was delivered remotely via video link from the Ukrainian capital Kyiv.

    He also used graphic imagery as the audience went wild with a standing ovation … Actually three standing ovations come to think of it..

    His address featured the display of a graphic video that included tragic footage from the conflict in Ukraine, including disturbing photographs of civilian casualties of the war, destroyed buildings, and terrifying images of military attacks there.

    He called on the US to “close the sky” to prevent the Russian airstrikes that are devastating Ukraine, which President Joe Biden and other Western leaders have so far refused to do to avoid a direct confrontation with Putin’s Russia.
