Edition No158 | 12-06-2025 - Russia's war against Ukraine has achieved not only a horrifying milestone, but an extraordinary conjunction of symbolic dates and numbers. On the Russian National Day public holiday, the grim figure of one million Russians lost in Putin's senseless war has been reached. We'll get into the casualty numbers, and their potential implications in a minute. First though, we need to reflect on the obscene act of sycophancy just unleashed by Mr. Rubio on 12th June. In an announcement, he wrote to congratulate the Russia people, on Russia Day. He is the first US Secretary of State to do so since the beginning of the full-scale war. He wrote, “The United States remains committed to supporting the Russian people as they continue to build on their aspirations for a brighter future.” Pause. Memes have not inaccurately compared this to an imaginary scenario where FDR congratulates the NAZI regime on Hitler's birthday, 18 April 1941, which was a public holiday in Germany. “We also take this opportunity to reaffirm the United States' desire for constructive engagement with the Russian Federation to bring about a durable peace between Russia and Ukraine. It is our hope that peace will foster more mutually beneficial relations between our countries.”----------Links: https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/2067608/ukraine-live-russia-day-troop-losseshttps://kyivindependent.com/as-russian-losses-in-ukraine-hit-1-million-putin-faces-an-economic-time-bomb/https://www.president.gov.ua/en/news/sogodni-nashi-vijskovi-zafiksuvali-ponad-miljon-rosijskih-vt-98417https://euromaidanpress.com/2025/06/12/russia-loses-one-million-soldiers-moscows-casualties-reach-seven-figures-ukraine-says/ ----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Groong Week in Review - June 8, 2025In this Week in Review episode, Groong hosts unpack a tense week in Armenian politics and society. Prime Minister Pashinyan intensifies his attacks on the Armenian Church, while the ruling Civil Contract party faces mounting criticism over corruption and nepotism. The opposition RPA nominates a symbolic candidate for prime minister amid an unlikely impeachment effort. Meanwhile, Armenia's economy shows cracks beneath reported growth, Georgia tightens trade routes, and demographic warnings grow starker as birthrates plummet and emigration continues. The episode also touches on global shifts, including the Ukraine war and Poland's presidential pivot, framing Armenia's challenges in a broader geopolitical context.TopicsUkraine's War, Poland's Pivot?Status Check on the EconomyRPA Names PM CandidateArmenia's Demographic ThreatsThe Kitchen SinkGuestHrant MikaelianHostsHovik ManucharyanAsbed BedrossianEpisode 444 | Recorded: June 9, 2025SHOW NOTES: https://podcasts.groong.org/444VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ZeOxwQm2DJ8#ArmeniaPolitics #ArmeniaEconomy #ukrainewar #armenianchurch #PopulationDeclineSubscribe and follow us everywhere you are: linktr.ee/groong

The Kremlin has been using freelancers to carry out dirty deeds across Europe with increasing frequency — and those freelancers can be anyone. The strategy is as sinister as it is effective. It's also a law enforcement nightmare. But do our governments have the will to tackle the issue, and the leadership qualities that will be required to fully mobilise resources, and be frank with electorates? ----------Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the Atlantic council.

Edition No157 | 10-06-2025 - Putin has ordered and executed one of the largest attacks on Ukraine's capital since the full-scale war began. Why? Because he can. Kyiv and Odesa came under massive bombardment in the early hours of June 10. Explosions were heard across the capital as air defence systems were activated, engaging targets that included ballistic missiles and drones. The full toll is not known, but four people have been reported injured in Kyiv, according to local authorities. In the southern city of Odesa two men were killed and at least eight civilians were wounded. One more person suffered shock. Again, this may not be the final toll. Zelensky proclaimed this one of the largest attacks on Kyiv to date, and few people would have slept through though the intense bombardment that lasted several hours. "Russian missiles and Shahed drones strike out the efforts of the United States and others around the world to force Russia into peace," he wrote on X. "For yet another night, instead of a ceasefire, there were massive strikes with Shahed drones, cruise and ballistic missiles."----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/waves-of-explosions-rock-kyiv-amid-russian-missile-drone-attack/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-redirects-20-000-anti-drone-missiles-meant-for-ukraine-zelensky-confirms/ ----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

The United Nations has confirmed what residents of Kherson, and Zarina Zabrisky, revealed nearly a year ago: Russia's drone attacks on civilians were systematic, premeditated and intended to instil terror and forcibly displace the population. A deliberate war crime. ----------Zarina Zabrisky is an American writer based in the Bay Area, California. She is the author of the novel, We, Monsters, several collections of short stories, including Explosion, A Cute Tombstone and her debut work, Iron, and a book of collaborative poetry and art, Green Lions, co-written with Simon Rogghe. Zabrisky is currently based in Odesa, Ukraine. From the beginning of the 2022 full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, Zabrisky has been reporting on the war in Ukraine for Euromaidan Press, Byline Times and A Community Alliance, and has been published in The Paris Review and various other publications. ----------ARTICLE:https://bylinetimes.com/2025/05/29/un-confirms-russian-drone-attacks-on-kherson-are-crimes-against-humanity-and-war-crimes/LINKS:http://www.zarinazabrisky.com/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zarina_Zabriskyhttps://euromaidanpress.com/author/zarinazabrisky/https://kyivindependent.com/author/zarina-zabrisky/https://bylinetimes.com/author/zarinazabrisky/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Edition No155 | 08-06-2025 - Russia has a fascist ideology. It may be incoherent when it comes to doctrinal details, but it is clear on one thing. If you are part of the democratic world, it intends to destroy you. Russian propagandists and ideologies are clear on this point at least. It's time to face this ideology for what it really is: aggressive, intolerant, extreme, calculated, premeditated and completely nihilistic. Modern Russian fascism is built for export, and is fundamentally opposed to the democratic world, its culture, values and its institutions. In this episode we'll look at an interview given for Le Grand Continent, a respected European journal of geopolitical analysis published by the GEG - Groupe d'Études Géopolitiques, a think tank affiliated with the prestigious École Normale Supérieure in Paris. They published a deeply disturbing conversation with Sergei Karaganov, one of the Kremlin's most influential ideologues and a longtime advisor to Vladimir Putin.----------Links: https://legrandcontinent.eu/fr/2025/06/07/entretien-avec-serguei-karaganov-larchitecte-de-la-geopolitique-de-poutine/https://substack.com/@statedept/p-164571608----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Let's simply look at the authoritarian timelines of regime such as those in Russia, Georgia, Hungary and Germany in the 1930s and others. At some point, regimes looking to consolidate their power, and limit democratic expression move from muzzling or coopting the press to tackling the people. They manufacture crises and provocations to crack down hard on liberties. For those who have studies the process of democratic slide such a moment if inflection in the US was completely expected, just not the time nor the place.

Edition No153 | 06-06-2025 - Steve Bannon has launched an attack on Elon Musk, with absolute glee and viscous energy. “We're going to go to f—ing war,” he exclaimed, following the feud between President Trump and the tech billionaire and world's richest man. “The president treated him almost like a son. He invited his family to Christmas dinner. He let him sleep over. He let him walk in and out of meetings,” Bannon said. He's been a long-time Musk sceptic, and he sees the chance to really stick the knife in and twist it around. In an interview with Politico published late Thursday he said. “The president went to the max informality to welcome this guy.”So far so reasonable. But then Bannon really let's rip: “You're going to tell me we should allow some fucking punk to sit there and say Trump should be impeached and [VP] JD [Vance] should step in? F— you, dude,” the “War Room” podcast host intensified his attack. “We're going to go to f—ing war, and I'm going to rip your f—ing face off.” ----------Links: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/06/05/steve-bannon-trump-musk-rachael-bade-00391135https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-elon-musk-feud/card/steve-bannon-urges-trump-to-seize-spacex-and-deport-elon-musk-7GV6PBKSIhqveB3VeYKXhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/jun/06/donald-trump-elon-musk-feud-steve-bannon-jeffery-epstein-us-politics-live-news-updateshttps://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5336511-steve-bannon-elon-musk-donald-trump-feud/https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cyvm2181lqvt----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Edition No151 | 05-06-2025 - Trump is apparently annoyed with both Putin and Zelenskyy, according to aides, but his approbation and ire is especially reserved for Zelenskyy, who Trump is said to consider “a bad guy”, “who will lead the world to the brink of nuclear war.” This is a narrative likely planted in his head by Vladimir Putin, who has once again apparently exerted an extraordinary amount of influence over Trump's words and action, after ‘another' of their infamous phone calls. This special hostility of Trump towards Zelenskyy likely has many origins. But envy of Ukrainian President's clear leadership qualities and charisma, his authority among other world leaders, and refusal to abandon his truth for the expediency of sucking up to Trump play a role. We must not lose sight in the face of Trump's comments, or the iniquitous both siding that some of the media falls into, that Ukraine is in face the defender, the victim and Russia the aggressor. Ukraine attacks military targets, sometimes the very equipment used to deliver death and destruction to Ukrainian cities, and Russians mostly choose to hit civilian targets.----------Links: https://kyivindependent.com/putin-casts-doubt-on-peace-talks-accuses-ukraine-of-deadly-bridge-attack-in-russia/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-urges-senate-to-postpone-vote-on-russia-sanctions-bill/https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-strike-on-russian-bombers-could-escalate-war-kellogg-says/https://kyivindependent.com/for-the-first-time-pentagon-chief-to-skip-ramstein-format-meeting-of-ukraines-allies/https://kyivindependent.com/trump-administration-redirecting-anti-drone-tech-from-ukraine-to-us-forces-in-middle-east-wsj-reports/https://kyivindependent.com/russia-launches-over-48-000-aerial-attacks-in-6-months-zelensky-says/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Edition No152 | 05-06-2025 - Tensions between Elon Musk and Donald Trump seem to have been bubbling below the surface for days and have now erupted into the public realm. Not just a few traded barbs, but full-scale war (by social media) seems to have broken out, and it's getting real ugly, real quickly. Buckle up, crack out the mega bucket of popcorn and let's five into the MAGA civil war that's just kicked off in loonyland. Relations between President Trump and techbro billionaire Elon Musk seem to have reached breaking point. During an Oval Office meeting with the German chancellor, Trump spoke of his surprise and disappointment in Musk. The trigger was his criticism of Trump's signature legislation. ----------Links: https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cyvm2181lqvt----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Edition No150 | 03-06-2025 - We'll come to the extraordinary strike on the Kerch Bridge in a minute, but there has also been significant development in the so-called peace process. Or rather the mask has slipped, and Russia's true purpose in engaging in the Istanbul process has been made abundantly clear by vodka-soaked political thug, Medvedev, Russia's former one-term president. Russia has a talent for undermining its own cause and position. Just as Ukraine's daring attacks may have led to it being blamed for ‘sabotaging' the so-called peace talks, Russia ruins what could have been an effective political propaganda campaign. Former President and Prime Minister of Russia, Dmitri Medvedev says the quiet part out loud, that Russia seeks victory, not compromise, in the talks with Ukraine. Medvedev, known for his incendiary and fascistic, genocidal outbursts on Twitter, said on Tuesday that the point of holding peace talks with Ukraine was to ensure a swift and complete Russian victory."The Istanbul talks are not for striking a compromise peace on someone else's delusional terms but for ensuring our swift victory and the complete destruction of the neo-Nazi regime," Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council said on Telegram. ----------Links: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/medvedev-says-russia-seeks-victory-not-compromise-talks-with-ukraine-2025-06-03/https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/06/3/7515358/https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/jun/03/ukraine-hits-bridge-linking-crimea-to-russia-with-underwater-explosiveshttps://kyivindependent.com/breaking-ukraines-sbu-strikes-crimean-bridge-in-underwater-attack/https://kyivindependent.com/operation-spiderweb-everything-we-know-about-ukraines-audacious-attack-on-russias-heavy-bombers/----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Edition No149 | 03-06-2025 - Finland is ‘preparing for the worst' as Russia expands military presence near border. Finland has said it expects Russia to further build up troops along their shared border when the war in Ukraine ends, after reports that Moscow had strengthened its military bases near the NATO frontier. Head of strategy of Finnish defense forces says they are monitoring Moscow's maneuvering ‘very closely'. Of all countries in Europe, Finland seems to have the healthiest dose of cynicism towards Russia and its long-term historical intentions. Dealing with Russia from a position of strength and unity is Finland's skill, making the best of a tough geographic situation, while preparing for the worst. This preparedness, resilience and unity of purpose is something Western Europe ought to pay more attention to and seek to emulate. ----------Links: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/21/finland-expects-russia-to-build-up-troops-at-border-after-ukraine-war-endshttps://kyivindependent.com/finland-to-send-ammunition-to-ukraine-using-proceeds-from-frozen-russian-assets/https://english.nv.ua/nation/trump-downplays-russian-military-buildup-near-finland-and-norway-calls-both-nations-safe-50515719.html----------SUMMER FUNDRAISERSNAFO & Silicon Curtain community - Let's help help 5th SAB together https://www.help99.co/patches/nafo-silicon-curtain-communityWe are teaming up with NAFO 69th Sniffing Brigade to provide 2nd Assault Battalion of 5th SAB with a pickup truck that they need for their missions.

Desde el Mar Negro hasta Kursk, el frente se sacude con ataques quirúrgicos, incursiones transfronterizas y una nueva generación de drones cazadores de defensas aéreas. ▶️ ¿Está cambiando la naturaleza del combate con los UAV armados específicamente para destruir sistemas antiaéreos? ▶️ ¿Por qué la incursión en Tetkino representa una amenaza simbólica y táctica para Moscú? Rusia responde con represión interna, censura y rumores de una ofensiva de primavera... pero sin avances estratégicos claros. ▶️ ¿Está el Kremlin atrapado en un callejón sin salida operacional? ▶️ ¿Puede permitirse otra “victoria simbólica” sin hechos sobre el terreno? Además: Actividad naval en el Mar Negro: ataques a infraestructura logística y buques militares. Bélgorod y Kursk bajo fuego: ¿se está abriendo un nuevo frente en suelo ruso? ▶️ ¿Estamos presenciando el principio del desgaste estructural del poder militar ruso? ▶️ ¿Cómo afecta esto al equilibrio regional y al respaldo occidental a Kiev?

Israeli army calls up tens of thousands of reservists to expand offensive in Gaza; and, Erdogan announces Türkiye among world's top three in UAV technology at TEKNOFEST.

L’imposizione dei dazi da parte di Donald Trump avrà un impatto significativo sulla portualità commerciale italiana, con un danno stimato da Conftrasporto in oltre 3,5 miliardi di euro solo per il trasporto marittimo delle merci destinate agli Stati Uniti. Circa il 60% del valore e il 90% del volume dell’export italiano verso gli USA viaggia via mare: una riduzione degli scambi, causata dai dazi, colpirà duramente la logistica e la filiera del trasporto. Secondo la Svimez, gli effetti diretti dei dazi potrebbero ammontare a circa 6 miliardi di euro, con ricadute estese su tutto il sistema economico. Intanto, anche negli Stati Uniti si osservano cali consistenti negli arrivi di merci cinesi: il porto di Los Angeles, principale punto d’ingresso del Made in China, registra un crollo degli arrivi pari a un terzo rispetto all’anno precedente. Queste misure si inseriscono in una strategia economica più ampia dell’amministrazione Trump, improntata al protezionismo e alla priorità dell’“America First”, nel tentativo di rilanciare l’industria nazionale. Tuttavia, secondo analisti come Bruce Kasman (JP Morgan), le azioni della Casa Bianca si sono rivelate più radicali del previsto, con aumenti tariffari significativi e un alto livello di incertezza dovuto a politiche altalenanti e negoziati bilaterali ancora instabili. Mentre per i sostenitori si tratta di una presidenza forte e autorevole, i critici denunciano una deriva autoritaria e un attacco all’equilibrio istituzionale degli Stati Uniti. Ne parliamo con Alessandro Plateroti, direttore Newsmondo.itDifesa e energia al centro del vertice italo-turcoGiorgia Meloni ha accolto oggi a Villa Pamphilj (RM) il presidente turco Recep Tayyip Erdogan per il quarto vertice intergovernativo Italia-Turchia, tappa cruciale di una diplomazia bilanciata tra Washington, Bruxelles e Ankara. A poche ore dallo storico incontro tra Trump e Zelensky in Vaticano, la premier italiana rilancia il ruolo di Roma come ponte tra Occidente e Turchia, in uno scenario segnato da crisi in Ucraina, Medio Oriente e Africa. Dopo il bilaterale, Meloni ed Erdogan hanno partecipato alla sessione di alto livello del Forum imprenditoriale Italia-Turchia, presso l Hotel Parco dei Principi, dove si sono riunite 620 imprese (345 italiane e 275 turche). Annunciata la firma di oltre 10 accordi e memorandum d intesa nei settori di difesa, spazio, energia, cybersicurezza, automotive e infrastrutture, con protagonisti come Leonardo, Sparkle, Sace, Cdp, Simest, Confindustria Assafrica&Mediterraneo. Nel settore aerospaziale, Baykar (azienda turca di droni) ha acquisito Piaggio Aerospace, rafforzando la cooperazione tecnologica con l Italia anche grazie alla joint venture con Leonardo per la produzione di UAV. In parallelo, si espande la sinergia nel tessile, dove l Italia è fornitore chiave di macchinari: dal 2011 al 2023 la Turchia ha investito 80 miliardi di USD in nuove tecnologie, in gran parte italiane. Non mancano cultura e turismo: nel 2024 è stato registrato un +9% degli arrivi di turisti turchi in Italia, mentre è attiva una cooperazione archeologica e nella conservazione dei beni culturali. Sul fronte sportivo, Italia e Turchia organizzeranno insieme gli Europei di calcio 2032, una prima assoluta per Ankara. Infine, sullo sfondo restano i nodi della politica europea di difesa: mentre la Germania ha chiesto l attivazione della clausola di salvaguardia Ue per aumentare la spesa militare, l Italia mantiene la linea della prudenza, con Meloni in costante contatto con von der Leyen e il Mef deciso a non ricorrere alla clausola né a scostamenti di bilancio. Il tutto mentre il debito italiano supera i 3.000 miliardi e Bankitalia avverte: «la priorità resta la sostenibilità» interviene: Celestina Dominelli, Il Sole 24 OreBlackout in Spagna, tutto ok tranne la Galizia e il 5-10% dei telefoni. Cause: escluso il fenomeno meteorologico anomaloIl 28 aprile 2025 un massiccio blackout ha colpito l’intera Spagna, parte del Portogallo e alcune zone del sud della Francia, causando gravi disagi nei trasporti, nelle comunicazioni e nella vita quotidiana. L’interruzione, iniziata alle 12:30 con la disconnessione della linea elettrica da 400 kV tra Francia e Spagna, ha portato al blocco delle metropolitane in diverse città spagnole, al malfunzionamento dei semafori e a interruzioni all’aeroporto di Madrid-Barajas. In Galizia, tutti i treni sono stati sospesi. Le reti telefoniche sono rimaste inutilizzabili per ore. L’evento ha avuto anche risvolti tragici: a Madrid sono morte quattro persone, una a causa di un incendio domestico e tre per intossicazione da monossido. Le autorità energetiche hanno lavorato rapidamente per ripristinare il servizio: alle 6 del mattino del 29 aprile il 99% della rete elettrica spagnola era già attiva, mentre in Portogallo la piena operatività è stata raggiunta entro la mezzanotte. Le cause del blackout restano in fase di accertamento. Tra le ipotesi al vaglio figurano un possibile cyberattacco (secondo l’Incibe) e le cosiddette “vibrazioni atmosferiche indotte”, suggerite dal gestore REN ma smentite dall’Agenzia meteorologica spagnola. Il premier Sánchez ha invitato alla cautela, mentre il primo ministro portoghese ha indicato l’origine del guasto in Spagna senza avanzare teorie.L’interruzione ha messo in luce la vulnerabilità e l’interdipendenza delle infrastrutture energetiche europee, causando un blocco diffuso delle attività produttive e dei trasporti, e sollevando interrogativi sulla sicurezza dell’approvvigionamento elettrico nel continente. Facciamo chiarezza con Alberto Berizzi professore di sistemi elettrici per l'energia al Politecnico di Milano.

* Israel kills 5 Palestinians in occupied West Bank Israel has killed five Palestinians in strikes in Jenin in the occupied West Bank. An Israeli air strike on an eastern neighbourhood of Jenin killed 16-year-old Ahmad al Sadi and critically wounded two other people. A second strike targeted a car, killing two people in the nearby town of Qabatiya, while a third killed two people in central Jenin. * Freed Palestinian prisoners report beatings, death threats before release Meanwhile, Palestinian prisoners released by Israel as part of the Gaza ceasefire and exchange deal said they were mistreated in the days leading to their freedom. During their reception in Ramallah, occupied West Bank, several prisoners said they faced death threats from the Israeli army, endured severe beatings, and were deprived of food and water. The deteriorating health condition of the released prisoners was evident, with some appearing unable to walk on their own. * Trump imposes tariffs on Canada, Mexico, China US President Donald Trump has ordered 25 percent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 10 percent on goods from China to address a national emergency over fentanyl and illegal immigrants entering the US, The White House has said energy resources from Canada will have a lower 10 percent levy. The US accused Mexico of being the "world's leading traffickers" of fentanyl and other drugs. Regarding Canada, the White House highlighted growing fentanyl production and illegal border crossings. China was criticised for its alleged role in subsidising chemical companies in exporting fentanyl. * Canada hits back against US tariffs Canada and Mexico have announced retaliatory measures against tariffs imposed earlier on their goods by US President Donald Trump. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada would impose 25 percent tariffs on $106.5 billion of US goods in response to US tariffs. Trudeau warned the tariffs would hurt the United States, a long-time ally.

Since mid-November, ongoing sightings of "mystery drones" in the skies over New Jersey have sparked alarm among residents, as officials continue to investigate the odd nightly incursions. Although authorities maintain that the drones pose no apparent threat to the public, many questions remain about the mysterious objects, and their operators and ultimate purpose remain unknown. This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we take an in-depth look at the mysterious aerial incursions, what officials have had to say, and why even the Pentagon and its UAP investigative unit, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), appear to be responding to the "drone fever" that has swept the United States in recent weeks.  Have you had a UFO/UAP sighting?
