🇷🇺🇸🇾 The Russian military at the Khmeimim air base in Syria have begun distributing humanitarian aid to the population affected by the devastating recent earthquakes directly from their own warehouses.
The decision to open the base to the Syrian population greatly accelerated the overall effort to help the victims, and was made at the express orders of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Lt. Col. Alexander Vasiliev of the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria told Sputnik.
According to him, humanitarian supplies to Khmeimim from Russia will be delivered daily, as long as necessary. At the same time, a first-aid post is operating at the Russian airbase, which receives victims of the earthquakes and provides them with all the necessary medical assistance. Both visiting Russian and local Syrian doctors work here. Throngs of people have been queuing for humanitarian and medical aid at the base.

☣️ Ohio residents raise health concerns after toxic train derailment, US media reported.
Residents around East Palestine, Ohio, are skeptical of US Environmental Protection Agency claims that it is safe to return home, after a train derailment earlier this month led authorities to burn hazardous materials inside tanker cars to preempt an explosion. Some people have since complained of feeling ill and noted animals getting sick and fish dying in bodies of water.
Three days after the derailment on February 3, authorities burned vinyl chloride inside five tanker cars, which released hydrogen chloride and phosgene, the report said. The EPA says tests indicate the surrounding air and water are safe for residents.
Two Pennsylvania residents filed a federal lawsuit last Thursday against Norfolk Southern, calling for the railway to pay for medical screenings and care for residents living within a 30-mile radius of the derailment site in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

❗️Biden has instructed the US Intelligence Community to take broad look at the phenomenon of unidentified aerial objects, the White House said. There is “no indication of alien” activity in the unidentified objects over the US, a press secretary added.
The White House also claims the US was able to determine that China has a high-altitude balloon program for intelligence collection, and Biden has formed team to study unidentified aerial objects that pose a risk. The Chinese government previously denied the White House’s claims about a “spy balloon,” saying it was a civilian vessel designed to monitor weather patterns that had blown off course.

Biden Administration Reportedly Plans to Sell 26 Million Barrels of Crude Oil From Reserves
The Biden administration has used the country's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to try and alleviate chronic high US gasoline prices; however, US oil giants have been caught sending the petrol to European markets, where the price is even higher, and making what US President Joe Biden described as "more money than God."
The US Department of Energy is preparing to release another 26 million barrels of crude oil from the country's strategic reserve into oil markets, according to reports in US media on Monday.

What’s GOP Speaker McCarthy's Alleged Strategy to Prevail in Debt Ceiling Battle?
Speaker Kevin McCarthy brought together leaders of the so-called “five families” of the House GOP – representing five ideological wings – last week to discuss the forthcoming debt ceiling battle, according to the US mainstream press.
There is a suspicion among Republicans that the White House is deliberately slow-rolling negotiations between Biden and McCarthy to step up pressure on the House GOP to pass a "clean" debt ceiling, with no strings attached.

Independent investigative journalist Christopher Helali gets into interesting admissions about just how involved the US is in decision making on the battlefield in Ukraine:
💬 “ This is the war machine active in its quest for domination. There's nothing nonviolent about it. It's pure violence. It's incarnated violence. I think that we shouldn't give any heed to what the Pentagon is saying, especially after all the blood it has on its hands from decades of "war on terror" and destroying countless countries and killing millions and millions more as refugees, both internal and external to their homeland.”

🇳🇬 A pastor in Nigeria holds a sermon with an AK-47
The presiding pastor of the Abuja chapter of the House on the Rock, Pastor Uche Aigbe, left worshippers confused after he walked up to the lectern during Sunday’s service brandishing a gun and started preaching on “Guarding your hearts from false teachers” and “faith without work is dead.”
He later justified his behavior during the sermon, saying, “Some people are looking for my trouble. And I came here prepared.”
🗣 “Today, there are some pastors with gift of divination who go about ripping people. This is why we should carry our ‘guns’ and defend ourselves. I will particularly be coming very soon for some of you sleeping in the church.”
