🇺🇦President Zelenskyy: This week alone, the Russians have launched more than 1,700 attack drones, over 1,380 guided aerial bombs, and 69 missiles of various types. Every massive attack by Russia can become devastating. That is why missiles for air defense systems are needed every day.

If you have to find a militia online you’re not organized enough to have a militia
There's an active surge in people "looking to join/start a militia" on social media accounts (I know for a fact this is happening on Reddit and some friends have said they've seen it on Facebook).
If you check the accounts, they're all bots (or hacked). It's probably the Feds looking for people.

Verkauf: Dänischer Pensionsfonds stößt gesamte US-Staatsanleihen ab
Der Fonds begründet den Schritt mit dem schlechten Zustand der US-Staatsfinanzen. Die politischen Spannungen rund um Grönland hätten die Entscheidung „nicht erschwert“.
