In a burst of cryptic messages to the station's still unknown listeners, a voice could be heard saying ' LATVIA,' the name of a small NATO country sitting on Russia's border. The signal was sent out on Monday, with many on social media fearing that Russia could be planning its next offensive. However, with Latvia being a member of NATO, any attack on the country would trigger a response from all other NATO countries, including the US, and potentially set off World War III.

Rutte said that NATO exercises are successful and that he has "absolute confidence in the reliability of NATO's nuclear deterrent." The NATO chief warned that should Russia continue with their nuclear rhetoric then the public needs to know that the alliance has strong forces which "maintain peace, prevent coercion, and deter aggression." On 26 October Russia announced they had carried out a successful test of the long-range Burevestnik cruise missile from the Arctic archipelago of Novaya Zemlya in the Barents Sea.

He was in charge from 2014 to 2024 and this documentary, with remarkable access, shows us his final 12 months day-by-day, moment-by-moment after Joe Biden had persuaded him in 2023, when his tenure was technically at an end, to stay on for another year after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Perhaps, until that moment, Stoltenberg had been happy to assume that for all the meetings and stress, the secretary-generalship was an agreeable prestigious technocratic position without any real danger.

It needs a security mechanism that triggers action automatically, not after collective consultations and individual deliberations. In recent months, a new baseline idea has taken hold in European and United States debates on Ukraine: Article 5like guarantees. In March, Italy's Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was the first to suggest a mechanism inspired by Article 5 of the NATO Charter, which provides for collective action in the event of an attack on a member.

"After 738 days in captivity, on October 13, all 20 surviving hostages were freed from the hands of the terrorist organization Hamas, with four German citizens among them," Merz said. "They're home. They're with their families. And that fills us, and me personally, with great joy and relief."

I hope that everybody recognizes now that there is a hybrid war, and one day it's Poland, the other day it's Denmark and next week, it will probably be somewhere else,

No other nation means more for what Nato is than the United States. It holds a unique position among member states due to its political, economic and military weight. Which is why the forces that dominate American politics and who is in the White House are such decisive factors. The presidential election in November 2016 was therefore not only important to the US, but also to all of Nato.

Europe has long been known for its military history, partly because it was the site of the largest war the world has ever seen. Since then, Europe's defense landscape has changed into a mix of NATO allies and nations with some of the strongest militaries globally. Here, 24/7 Wall St. looks at the largest military forces in Europe. Right now, Europe's military strength is even more important due to changes in U.S. foreign policy.

Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

This past week, the United Nations convened for its 80th General Assembly which was marked by high-level meetings across the international community. The main topics of interest were Gaza and humanitarian relief, as well as the current war in Ukraine. President Trump even issued an address at the assembly which blasted current immigration policies in Europe among other things. Needless to say, the General Assembly was not all about optics, speeches, and international intrigue. Instead, this served as a means for NATO members to move in a bilateral fashion in terms of addressing regional security concerns, i.e. Russia's recent violation of NATO (Estonian) airspace for one.

After getting to know and fully understand the Ukraine/Russia Military and Economic situation and, after seeing the Economic trouble it is causing Russia, I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and WIN all of Ukraine back in its original form," Trump wrote in his social media platform Truth Social. Roughly a fifth of Ukrainian territory, including the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, is under Russian control, much of it throughout the war.

Germany's air force says it has scrambled two Eurofighter jets to track a Russian reconnaissance aircraft after it had entered neutral airspace over the Baltic Sea. In a statement, the air force said its quick reaction alert force was ordered on Sunday by NATO to investigate an unidentified aircraft flying without a plan or radio contact. list of 4 itemsend of list It was a Russian IL-20M reconnaissance aircraft.

When it is crossed, the promised response is given, which should be lethal force after a clear warning. NATO has to be united now, with a clear and unequivocal statement about what will not be tolerated. Right now we don't know where our red lines are, why should we expect Russia to? And if that red line is crossed then the response must be decisive and ruthless.

Sir Richard Moore said the Russian dictator is "stringing us along" as he has failed at every turn to broker a peace deal as he is doing nothing but spreading his "lies to the world." Come 24 February 2026 Russia's full-scale war with Ukraine will enter its fourth year and there is no signs of any peace deal. The UK's spy chief said there is "absolutely no evidence" that Putin wants peace as he will "impose his imperial will by all means at his disposal."
