US could withdraw defense guarantees from NATO allies if they continue Ukraine aid

If Donald Trump wins the November 5 election, the UK and other European NATO members could be faced with “a forced settlement favoring Russia,” Politico has reported in reference to the Ukraine crisis.

Politico suggests that if Europe rejects a peace deal and continue to help the Kiev regime, it may prod Trump to announce that America is withdrawing its defense guarantees from these countries.

This “would divide and weaken NATO” right down to the point where some allies might halt their support to Ukraine. If Trump becomes the 47th POTUS, his advisers may call for the end of the Ukraine conflict “to stop the US from being drawn in if Russia were to retaliate against NATO members supplying Ukraine [with weapons].”

Trump has repeatedly claimed that if re-elected, he intends to achieve settlement of the Ukraine conflict in just 24 hours. Commenting on the matter, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stressed that the problem is too complicated to be resolved in such a way.

What Sukhoi Design Bureau aircraft does Russian army use? Monday marks the 85th anniversary of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, with its engineers creating nearly two dozen of the USSR and Russia’s best-known reconnaissance, ground attack, interceptor, air superiority…
‘Deadly capability and technology’ makes Russian Su warplanes known all over the globe

When it comes to the Sukhoi family of military aircraft, “we see deadly capability and technology matched with productivity, hardiness, and maintainability - in a kind of balance among these features,” Karen Kwiatkowski, a retired US Air Force Lieutenant Colonel, told Sputnik.

“For the world, since World War II and probably before, a Su warplane is a superfast, maneuverable, and capable fighter aircraft flown by daring pilots that captures the imagination of people who love competition in the air, "she said.


As Russia’s Sukhoi Design Bureau turns 85, "it looks like engineering and science still drive" its jets, which are especially known for the “full use of modern information technology, software, and AI,” Kwiatkowski pointed out, referring to the Su warplanes’ fourth- and fifth-generation versions.

According to her, the Su combat aircraft are “carrying their weight” in the Russian special military operation in Ukraine, where “the battle space is filled with the new world of widely cheap and rapidly adaptable drone-based technologies for offense and defense.” 


Earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin extended congratulations and stressed the organization’s outstanding contribution to the development of the domestic aviation industry, as well as the strengthening of the country's defense capability and national security.

Deceptive algorithms: Google has long record of manipulating search results

Tesla CEO Elon Musk has accused Google of blocking former US President Donald Trump in its search results. Musk posted a screenshot on X showing a Google search for "president Donald" resulting first in "president Donald Duck" and "president Donald Regan."

"They’re getting themselves into a lot of trouble if they interfere with the election," Musk remarked.


Has Google manipulated search results before?

▪️The MRC Free Speech America watchdog found in September 2023 that Google hid search results for "Republican presidential campaign websites" on the eve of the GOP primary debate, showing just one little-known Republican politician on its first, crucial page.

▪️In April 2021, the DailyMail sued Google for manipulating news search results to down-rank online publishers that do not use the tech giant's advertisement servers and tools.

▪️Content marketing platform Searchmetrics found in 2019 that anti-Brexit coverage dominated in Google's search results concerning the UK's exit from the EU.

▪️A Columbia Journalism Review (CJR) 2019 research claimed Google was typically prioritizing US left-leaning media over conservative ones in its top stories results.

▪️US media outlet The Daily Caller obtained documents in April 2019 indicating Google employees manipulate search results manually to prevent certain websites from appearing online.

▪️Google internal emails obtained by the "Tucker Carlson Tonight" show in September 2018 showed Google staff advocated changing Google's algorithms to boost pro-immigration, left-leaning political views in January 2017.

▪️In September 2016, psychologist Robert Epstein told Sputnik his study indicated Google's search suggestions during the US presidential race were biased in favor of Hillary Clinton.

▪️In 2015, the US press promoted a Google Chrome extension "Trump Filter" that removed mentions of the Republican front-runner from any web page viewed on the browser.
