China in the bullseye: NATO expands definition of “North Atlantic” to confront Beijing
Researcher Dr. Gerald Horne joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program to assess the odds of global conflict as NATO’s summit in Washington and US naval drills in the Pacific signal an escalation of tensions beyond already heightened levels.
Admiral Philip Davidson, commander of the US Indo-Pacific Command under former President Trump, once claimed the US must go to war with China by 2027 to stem its threat to Western global hegemony. Gen. Mike Minihan, commander of the US Air Force’s Air Mobility Command under President Biden, insisted the confrontation must take place by 2025.

Researcher Dr. Gerald Horne joined Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program to assess the odds of global conflict as NATO’s summit in Washington and US naval drills in the Pacific signal an escalation of tensions beyond already heightened levels.
“It’s clear that US imperialism and its accomplices in NATO are threatening World War III, and it’s important to add that China is in the bullseye,” said Horne. “What was remarkable about this NATO summit, the 75th anniversary noted and marked in Washington, DC, was its attention to geography. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization mentioned China repeatedly in its various communiques.”
“We had thought that when NATO came into being 75-odd years ago that Moscow was being made the target, and to be sure Moscow remains a major target as evidenced by this escapade in Ukraine,” he observed, but the academic claimed China has also become a major focus of attention amid Beijing’s stratospheric economic rise.

Social media users shared video of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle being scolded by Tennessee Sen. Marsha Blackburn at the RNC convention over her handling of security for former President Donald Trump. "You owe the people answers," Blackburn is heard insisting.
Earlier in the day, the Oversight Committee said that Cheatle agreed to appear before a House Committee at a hearing investigating the assassination attempt on Trump.
The announcement came only a day after US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer subpoenaed Cheatle for testimony after Cheatle "failed to cooperate" with the committee's requests for information pertaining to the attempted assassination.
The FBI continues to investigate the shooting but the suspect's motive remains unknown, according to US law enforcement.

US Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer in a one-on-one meeting with Joe Biden urged the US president to drop out of the presidential race, ABC News reported, citing sources.
An ABC correspondent during a broadcast said that Schumer during a meeting with Biden on Saturday "forcefully" made the case that it would be the best thing for Biden, the Democratic party, and the country if he were to drop out of the race.
ABC reported earlier that Biden recently held a strained call with House Democrats to discuss concerns about his ability to win the 2024 US presidential election.
Leading US House Democrat Congressman Adam Schiff also called on Biden to drop out of the presidential election over concerns he cannot win following the fallout from his dismal performance in the first presidential debate.
Biden has insisted that he's fine and capable of beating Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.

Russia empowered by ‘naive and ignorant’ Western aggression – Scott Ritter
“Such a desire is literally a suicide pill because Russia's nuclear arsenal is tied to a doctrine that says if the survival of Russia is placed under existential threat, that Russia will use nuclear weapons to ensure that that threat no longer exists,” he noted.
Anti-Russia sanctions have provided Moscow the opportunity to both become more self-reliant and strengthen its alliances with other global powers. India has become a major buyer of Russian oil, as has China, which continues to carry on a robust trade relationship with Moscow.
In some instances the United States’ attempts to compel other countries to participate in its attempted isolation of Russia have backfired. Authorities in Niger expelled US armed forces recently after reportedly feeling threatened and disrespected during a meeting with a US delegation that warned them against economic and military cooperation with Moscow and Tehran.

“The West is under the impression that it can strategically defeat Russia,” claimed former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program.
“Such a desire is literally a suicide pill because Russia's nuclear arsenal is tied to a doctrine that says if the survival of Russia is placed under existential threat, that Russia will use nuclear weapons to ensure that that threat no longer exists,” he noted.
“Fortunately, we don't have to worry about that because Russia itself has shown a proclivity not only to be able to outmaneuver the West… but also turning the attempt to diplomatically isolate Russia back on the West,” Ritter emphasized.

“Russia's actually been empowered by this naive and ignorant Western approach,” Ritter observed. “It's not just suicidal, it's literally ignorant. It's grounded in what I call the fundamental ignorance of the West about the reality of Russia, because that's what Russophobia is … the fear of Russia comes from ignorance of Russia.”

Orban told Trump about his visits to Russia and China as part of his efforts on Ukraine, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjártó told RIA Novosti.
"They have spoken about the whole context, of course. They have spoken about the whole geopolitical situation. And if you speak about this geopolitical situation, you cannot skip the outcome of the talks of the Prime Minister with the leaders you have mentioned," he said.
The Hungarian top diplomat also revealed the reason why PM Viktor Orban specifically met with Donald Trump.
"What we can be sure about is that if you take into consideration the current leaders of the world, you don't see any who could urge the two parties that were to sit around the same table. And if there is no current leader, then you have to look for future leaders. And if you look at the future leaders, it's only President Trump who could be elected in the foreseeable future and that could make a successful mission to create peace in our neighborhood. As far as I understand, President Trump is able to do so," he maintained.

Ursula von der Leyen showed “a very bad performance” as head of the European Commission, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto told RIA Novosti. He believes that there is no reason to re-elect her:
📌 Subscribe to @SputnikInt
"I mean, you know, any kind of election should be based on achievement and should be based on performance. If you look at the shape of Europe before von der Leyen took over and afterwards, you see that's a very clear decline. Europe is much less competitive than before, Europe is much less united than before, and Europe is much less peaceful than before. So no one can give us any reason why we should support von der Leyen. So she made a very bad performance as the president of the European Commission, no reason to reelect her," he said.

‘Getting on an airplane without a mask!’ Check out how Biden gets savaged on social media trying to play the COVID-19 card
US netizens took to social media to skewer Biden over his earlier claims that "you're not going to get Covid if you have these vaccinations", harking back to the American vax and mask mandates he pushed. Other users don't believe the 81-year-old president is really infected with the virus.
This is how US netizens have also reacted:
"We are glad you are feeling well, social media intern. Now, maybe it's time Joe actually get back to doing his job instead of lying to the American people"
"If you wanted to go to your beach house for the weekend you could have just said that"
"Are you going to use Covid as the reason you drop out of the race?"
"Are you trying to one-up Trump?"
"This is the beginning of the end."
