🇺🇸📞🇺🇳🇺🇳 — American economist Jeffrey Sachs, known for being an appeaser of the Regimes of China and Iran, said:

"We need a global government.
That's the UN."

➡️ He argues that since the atmosphere doesn’t recognize borders, carbon emissions anywhere fuel a global climate emergency.

➡️ Sachs insists that no single nation can solve this challenge alone: Only a united global authority can.

➡️ He clarifies he’s not a "globalist in general": Only when it comes to confronting climate change.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 World First: Ukrainian Maritime Drone Shoots Down Russian Flanker Jet

A Ukrainian maritime drone (USV: uncrewed surface vessel) has achieved a world-first, shooting down a Russian jet. The Flanker fighter was downed on May 2. It is the first time a fast jet has been shot down by an uncrewed vessel.

The Russian aircraft, reportedly a two-seat Sukhoi Su-30 Flanker, was operating in the eastern Black Sea, hundreds of miles from Ukrainian controlled coast. Full details have yet to emerge but it is likely that the jet was sent to interdict the USVs which were threatening the main naval base at Novorossiysk and Kerch straight. The jet would have been flying low to engage the USV with cannons or unguided rockets.

🇺🇸/🇲🇽 After designating a 170-square-mile strip along the border between New Mexico and Mexico as a “National Defense Area” in April, allowing the U.S. military to temporarily detain illegal migrants or trespassers before being handed over to Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

The U.S. Department of Defense this week established another “National Defense Area” in Southern Texas, consisting of a 63-mile-long strip running east from the border of New Mexico and Texas near El Paso. These designations follow an executive order signed last month by President Donald J. Trump, giving the Defense Department jurisdiction over the Roosevelt Reservation, a 60-foot-wide stretch of federal land that runs along the U.S-Mexico Border through New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

🇾🇪🇮🇱 Israeli defenses fail to stop Houthi ballistic missile

In a statement, the Israel Airports Authority confirmed that “an investigation is underway regarding the impact at the Ben Gurion Airport area.” All landings and takeoffs were temporarily frozen as a precaution. Normal flight operations resumed after roughly one hour. “Ben Gurion Airport is open for operations,” the authority later said. “Takeoffs and landings have returned to normal.”

Israel’s Army Radio reported that the missile was not intercepted despite multiple attempts.

Israeli Channel 12 said the missile successfully bypassed four layers of air defense, including the high-altitude Arrow 3 and U.S.-supplied THAAD systems, before striking close to the heavily trafficked terminal area.

The launch was detected shortly after it occurred in Yemen, but the short window between detection and impact limited interception options. According to Israeli military sources cited by Channel 12, the missile evaded defensive coverage and reached the airport zone without being neutralized.

This marks one of the closest and most disruptive strikes on Israeli civilian infrastructure since the escalation of regional missile activity tied to the ongoing conflict between Iran-backed groups and Israel.
