According to Reuters, during a meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, Lukashenko raised concerns about the “aggressive” and “confrontational” actions of neighboring countries Poland and Lithuania. He also discussed nuclear-armed flights near the Belarusian border being conducted by the U.S.-led NATO alliance, and reportedly asked Putin to help his country with a “symmetrical response.” Reuters reported that Putin said such a response wasn’t necessary, but that his country would transfer “Iskander-M tactical missile systems to Belarus, which can use both ballistic and cruise missiles, both in conventional and nuclear versions....

Putin ordered his “special military operation” on Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Fighting has continued for more than 10 months as Putin’s troops have struggled to achieve substantial victories against their Eastern European neighbor, whose defense effort has been bolstered by Western military aid.

Europe was braced for a tough winter in anticipation of a Russian response to the sanctions imposed in the wake of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russia has been accused of using energy as a weapon and the delivery of oil and gas—its largest exports—was expected to be used to weaken the continent’s resolve. In August, Germany said Moscow was driving up prices when state-owned firm Gazprom, after reducing flows of gas via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, then temporarily halted supplies of the fuel that the pipeline delivers to western Europe....

Cox was the ringleader of a chat room called “Kids the Light of Our Lives,” which allowed users to trade and watch live images of children being abused through file sharing and video streaming. “No investigation has rescued so many young and vulnerable people from a group of hard-core pedophiles,” says Jim Gamble, who heads Britain’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Center (CEOP). There have been several other indictments, including the jailing last week of a man from Manchester who will serve seven years for child rape and a British music teacher, jailed in April for persuading young girls to strip in front of Web cams....

Hayes is an influential interpreter of the writings of Q, who inspired the QAnon conspiracy theory that believes prominent people, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, will be arrested for various crimes.

Speaking with Patrick Gunnels on the Reading Epic Threads webcast on Thursday, Hayes said Q warned people he would put out a lot of “disinformation....

Confusion over what the proposed reforms meant was such that Sepp Blatter, president of world soccer body FIFA, and Theo Zwanziger, the FIFA executive dealing with the Qatari labour issue cancelled a planned trip to the Gulf state. FIFA has come under severe criticism for failing to take harsh workers’ conditions into consideration when it awarded the World Cup to Qatar in December 2010. The confusion stemmed from the fact that the reforms appeared to involve a refinement of the kafala system rather than an overall overhaul or abolition as the government claimed....

He was wobbly at first on foreign policy and had to be rescued. “Well, what about Mexico?” Shultz asked, steering the conversation closer to home. But, gradually, Bush took control, asking probing, common-sense questions and sounding surprisingly knowledgeable himself. He was particularly interested in Social Security reform. He wanted to know what the assembled sages thought about allowing younger workers to invest a slice of their Social Security taxes in the stock market....
