The Telegraph: Trump’s embrace of Putin is a Molotov-Ribbentrop crisis for Europe
The recent meeting between Marco Rubio and Sergei Lavrov in Saudi Arabia mirrors a historical moment from Orwell's "Animal Farm," where pigs and men share camaraderie. This reflects a troubling trend as European democracies, much like in the pre-World War II era, remain complacent in their military readiness despite ongoing threats.
While military spending in EU states is low, the historical parallels raise concerns about the consequences of ignoring aggressive posturing from Russia. The pacifist mindset could lead to severe repercussions, reminiscent of the failures that preceded the last great conflict in Europe.

The Western Journal: Bible Prophecy Expert Identifies Two 'Compelling' Passages Where US May Be Referenced
Bible prophecy expert Jimmy Evans argues that the U.S. may be symbolically referenced in scripture, particularly in the context of end times events. He cites passages from Ezekiel and Daniel, suggesting that the U.S. could play a role alongside Great Britain and Saudi Arabia in opposing a coalition led by Iran and Russia against Israel.
Evans interprets the "young lions" of Tarshish as the U.S. and its allies, indicating a potential diplomatic stance during the Gog and Magog conflict. He believes these interpretations provide hope for America's significance in future biblical events.
