Speaking at a summit in Yalta in the disputed territory of Crimea on Friday, Zelensky said war was fortunately avoided last time Russia became aggressive with the former Soviet republic. “I think there can be. That’s the case,” he stated. “I think in 2014, it was unfortunately a step forward towards it by the Russian side, and then, thanks God, because of the Ukrainian people they did a step backward. They’ve been stopped.” Zelensky added if an all out war were to occur, it would destroy relations between his country, Russia and mutual neighbor Belarus. He also noted any warfare by the Russians would be the biggest mistake Russian President Vladimir Putin could make. At a meeting between Joe Biden and Zelensky last week, Biden reaffirmed the U.S. commitme

At 7:59 a.m., American Airlines Flight 11 departed Logan International Airport in Boston and headed for Los Angeles, California. 15 minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 also left for Los Angeles from Boston.

The U.S. government's account of a drone strike launched against a suspected terrorist in  Afghanistan  toward the end of the military withdrawal from Kabul is being challenged by a report suggesting the victim was not a threat to the United States.  According to a  New York Times report , the drone attack that American officials said killed an  ISIS terrorist carrying a bomb in a car toward U.S. troops may have killed a man with no ties to ISIS and who was carrying water to family members.  American military officials   announced   late last month that the drone strike was in response to an imminent threat by suspected suicide bombers. The Times says that after reviewing video evidence and interviewing more than a dozen of the driver’s friends and family members in Kabul, it has doubts about the U.S. version of events.  "Times reporting has identified the driver as Zemari Ahmadi, a longtime worker for a U.S. aid group," the report states. "The evidence suggests that

REUTERS/Lintao Zhang/Pool//File Photo U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping spoke for 90 minutes on Thursday, in their first talks in seven months, discussing the need to ensure that competition between the world’s two largest economies does not veer into conflict. The U.S. side said the “proof will be in the pudding” as to whether the stalemate can be broken with ties between the superpowers languishing at their lowest point in decades. In a statement, the White House said Biden and Xi had “a broad, strategic discussion,” including areas where interests and values converge and diverge. The conversation focused on economic issues, climate change and COVID-19, a senior U.S. official told reporters. “President Biden underscored the United States’ enduring interest in peace, stability, and prosperity in the Indo-Paci

Kamala Harris speaks during a No on the Recall campaign event with California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) at IBEW-NECA Joint Apprenticeship Training Center in San Leandro, California. Some Afghan-Americans have pleaded for Kamala Harris to hear them out. On Wednesday, Willy Moosayer protested with many others outside California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) “anti-recall rally.” Moosayer, the son of Afghan immigrants, explained he was there to voice support for the recall and deliver a message to Harris as the Biden administration said it was still working to get U.S. citizens out of Afghanistan. He added voters expected a lot more from the country’s first female vice president as they were there to support her during her campaign. Moosayer went on to warn, “the Afghan people are watching her.” “We are here to protest to Kamala Harris, who has not spoken about the situation in Afghanistan, where there is an actual humanitarian crisis and a genocide happening in the Panjshir Valley,” Moosayar

Greg Abbott (R) went after social media companies who have banned users with conservative views. On Thursday, the governor signed a bill to forbid social media companies with more than 50 million monthly users to ban content based on their political stances. The law has directed social media sites to issue a complaint on any potentially violating or illegal content and give reason for why such content was removed. This would offer individuals and state attorneys the right to file lawsuits if they felt they were wrongfully banned from such platforms. “Freedom of speech is under attack in Texas. There is a dangerous movement by some social media companies to silence conservative ideas and values,” Abbott asserted. “This is wrong and we will not allow it in Texas. Today, I’m about to sign a law that fights against Big Tech political censorship. ”   Abbott went on to assure Texa
