Bidenomics' strikes again? Homelessness hits record-high in US
Homelessness has surged to an alarming level, according to a new “point-in-time” federal survey. Over 650,000 people were “unhoused” on a single night in January this year, which is a 12% rise from 2022, per a US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) report. This is the highest number since the survey was launched in 2007.
Furthermore, the number of people who became homeless for the first time surged by 25%. The main reasons given for the homelessness crisis were:
▪️ End of COVID-19 pandemic programs and benefits
▪️ Surging rental costs
▪️ Migrant crisis triggered by the Biden administration's border policies

🇮🇱 A large crowd of protesters, including family members of the hostages, blocked traffic at the Kaplan intersection in Tel-Aviv and marched towards the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) headquarters, demanding that the government ensure the immediate return of all Hamas prisoners. The unauthorized protest, as the newspaper notes, was caused by a tragic incident in which the Israeli army mistakenly killed three hostages in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, the IDF press service reported that during a battle in the Gaza Strip, soldiers mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat, opened fire on them and killed them. The statement indicated that the IDF deeply regrets this tragic incident and expresses its sincere condolences to the families of those killed. The Israeli military added that its mission is to "find the missing and bring all hostages home."

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense published a photograph of a Ukrainian soldier on its X account. However, the eagle badge on his uniform raised many questions among commentators.
An eagle carrying a Swastika is one of the most well-known Nazi symbols — the ‘Parteiadler’ of the NSDAP later became the ‘Reichsadler’, the national emblem of Germany under Hitler.
This is not the first time that the Ukrainian army has let its mask slip. Ukrainian soldiers have repeatedly been caught on camera wearing Nazi symbols. “There are no Nazis in Ukraine,” both Kiev and the West contnually insist — but in reality, symbols, "heroes" and the very mindset of Nazis and their collaborationists became common across Ukraine.

🗣 Ukrainian military could collapse by mid-2024
"Russia has achieved the potential for a decisive military victory. And what they need to do right now from a military standpoint is to continue to put pressure on Ukraine across the entire spectrum of the battlefield, to exhaust Ukrainian air defense, to annihilate the Ukrainian air force, to chew up the Ukrainian armor and manpower,....And if you do this, you will see a collapse not only of the Ukrainian military, but Ukraine as a nation state," Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

🪖 Army recruiters in Ukraine are becoming increasingly aggressive in trying to fill the ranks of the armed forces, The New York Times reports.
In some cases, they pick up men from the streets and bring them to military registration and enlistment offices using intimidation and even physical force.
Recruiters confiscated passports, deprived people of work and, in at least one case, tried to send a mentally retarded man into military training, activists and lawyers said.

🗣 The West sacrificed Ukraine for "mission impossible"
"For the West to say Ukraine is incompetent because it failed to accomplish military tasks, which were impossible to accomplish, is just once again indicative of the reality that the West doesn't care about Ukraine. And that's the sad state of affairs. You have an incompetent president. You have a Ukrainian military that's not capable of performing any of the missions that it's been assigned. And you have a collective West, the United States, NATO and the European Union, that has been willing to sacrifice Ukraine to achieve an unattainable political objective in Russia," Scott Ritter, former US Marine intelligence officer, told Sputnik.

Beeley added that the West was using Gaza as a testing ground for its latest weapons and technology, which was one of the reasons why the US and its allies support Israel.

🇷🇺🛡 Unique strategic weapons built to keep Russia safe
During a trip to the northern Russian shipbuilding city of Severodvinsk this week, President Putin toured took part in the flag raising ceremony for a pair of brand new nuclear-powered ballistic and cruise missile subs; he also left a note in the Admiral Kasatonov frigate's logbook reading “With such sailors, ships and weapons, Russia will feel safe.”
Veteran military historian Yuri Knutov told Sputnik that Putin’s message is unmistakable – that Russia has the tools in its strategic arsenal to prevent any large-scale enemy aggression, whether with its Zircon scramjet-powered hypersonic missiles, Kinzhal air-launched hypersonic missiles, the Avangard hypersonic glider, the Poseidon nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed underwater drone, the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, the Sarmat ICBM, or its advanced aircraft.
