e imagery, and pictures/videos as Russia launched a full-scale invasion against the the sovereign nation of Ukraine, beginning the largest and most important war in Europe since the end of WWll. Advancing from Belarus, Crimea, and Western Russia into the country, as air and missile strikes rained down on Ukrainian cities; initial expectations were grim, the Russian military was larger and more advanced, with some expecting Kyiv and a vast majority of Ukraine to fall within days if not hours. However, through the strength and determination of the Ukrainian people, and with support from allies and partners in the United States, Europe and across the world, Ukraine has held, pushing Russian forces out of Northern Ukraine and away from cities and region in the East and South. These battles and offensives will live on in history books, as civilian and military casualties in the war have well surpassed a million, with it remaining ongoing over 1,000 days later. Ukraine continues to fight the Russians in the East, and until Russia decides to finally withdraw or a peace settlement is agreed upon, Ukrainians will continue to fight and die for their homeland while Russians will continue to fight and die for nothing except the ego of Vladimir Putin.

According to reports earlier today from the Greek newspaper Dimokratia, U.S. President Donald J. Trump has ordered the end of the American military presence in Alexandroupoli, Greece; including the shutdown of a major base near the Port of Alexandroupoli, which has been used as a “key logistical hub” for U.S. and NATO operations in Southeastern Europe. Greek media further claimed that its closure was ordered following a joint request from Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. U.S. President Trump was asked about this earlier while meeting with French President Macron, to which he seemed confused asking for clarification from Secretary of State Rubio and Defense Secretary Hegseth, who stated that the reports were untrue.

Reuters reporter @idreesali114 asked U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth earlier why he decided to choose an under-qualified retired lieutenant general to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), referring to U.S. Air Force three-star general Dan Caine, who does not fit several of the qualifications usually required of the CJCS, including being actively in the military and being a four-star officer, thus requiring him to receive a waiver.

Secretary Hegseth responded with, “I’m gonna choose to reject your unqualified question.”
