🪖✈️ Russian submariners discover WWII-era American military aircraft
Submariners of the Russian Northern Fleet have raised fragments of an American World War II-era Bell P-39 Airacobra military aircraft to the surface, the Russian Investigative Committee said.
Russian Navy divers lifted the aircraft's engine with its composite parts, cabin frame, wings, propeller and supporting frame, as well as two 50-caliber M2 machine guns and a 37 mm M4 autocannon with ammunition from the sea floor, the agency said.
More than 4,500 Airacobras (39N and 39Q) were sent to the Soviet Union as part of the Lend-Lease program during the Great Patriotic War (the Eastern Front of World War II).

Serbian Sputnik and RT must be silenced - EU
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament has approved a report in which the Serbian authorities are required to close Sputnik and RT in the country, @sputniksrbija reports. The prospects for joining the EU depend on Belgrade's decision.
The authors of the document strongly dislike that Serbs can still hear an alternative opinion to the European agenda.
At the same time, despite all the efforts of Europe, the popularity of Russian media in Serbia is growing. Sputnik programs are broadcast daily by 25 radio stations and 27 TV channels, and its editor-in-chief, Lubinka Milincic, is regularly featured on TV and radio as an expert.

Tucker Carlson could no longer be tolerated by ‘corrupt US media and political establishment’
According to Scott Bennett, former US Army psychological warfare officer, Tucker Carlson's ouster spells "the death of American media."
Bennett believes that the wall against the 1984 George Orwell-type idiocy that the US elite and corporations have been trying to degenerate Americans into, built up by Carlson, was detonated by the Dominion Voting Machines-Fox News false lawsuit.
"He exposed the US biochemical labs in Ukraine and their connection to the Democrat Party, President Barak Obama, Vice President Biden, Hillary Clinton, George Soros, Bill Gates, and other US government agencies and pharmaceutical companies," Bennett stated.
