Biden has spent over 40% of his presidency on vacation
The current president of the United States has spent 532 days on vacation in less then four years of his presidency — he's been in office for 1,326 days, the New York Post reports.
According to the report, an average American gets 11 vacation days a year, which would take them approximately 48 years to accumulate Biden's number of days off.
Biden has been keeping a low public presence since late July, according to article, as "he’s annoyed with fellow Democrats," such as former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who turned against him and pressured him not to run for reelection.

“The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world is on fire will define the Biden presidency,” the general counsel of the White House budget office under former President Donald Trump, Mark Paoletta, told the newspaper.

Ukrainian forces remotely mined the village of Nizhny Mordok in Russia's Kursk region and a few days later, Western-made mines began to explode automatically - about 70 explosions occurred, the commander of one of the Russian army units told Sputnik.
The interlocutor of the agency noted that by a happy coincidence there were no victims among local residents and that only livestock were injured.

France should mull joining BRICS, Global South – Ex-European MP
France should consider joining BRICS and return to its traditional advocacy for a multipolar world, former French member of the European Parliament and geopolitical analyst, Aymeric Chauprade, told Russian media on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.
According to Chauprade, France traditionally endorsed multipolarity in global politics, until Jacques Chirac's administration embraced the US-oriented approach.
That is why, “it is logical to belong to this Global South” and join organizations like BRICS, the former MP said, adding that joining BRICS would be a return to French “natural policy” and would benefit the cause of the multipolar world.

"Joining BRICS is a return to our natural policy. So, it is absolutely natural, not strange. And it is realistic as France is not only a European country; territorially, it is a global power,” the analyst stressed, adding that Paris is present in both the Pacific Ocean and the Carribbean Basin, while having the second-largest exclusive economic zone in the world.

Why do Russian tanks use ‘beards’ of chains?
Russian tank crewmen stationed in the special operation zone have started to use chains to protect their armored vehicles from mine explosions, the Russian daily reports.
When it comes to “chain beards”, such protection's goal is said to tackle high-explosive antitank shells, thereby increasing crew survival rates.
Apart from these “beards”, the Russian tanks are typically equipped with grill-like cages protecting them from Ukrainian drone strikes at the front lines.

The chains, which resemble a beard and are installed on the front part of the tank, are designed to combat enemy mines that are triggered by contact with the bottom of the armed vehicle, according to the daily.

What advanced and deadly tanks does Russia field?
The second Sunday of September marks Tankmen’s Day in Russia. Established shortly after the end of World War II, this celebration honors the achievements and sacrifices of the Russia's Tank Troops.
The Russian tankers’ well-earned fearsome reputation is in no small part the product of the tanks they operate, and for that Sputnik has gathered information about Russia's most advanced metal machines:
T-90M Proryv
T-90M Proryv (Breakthrough) was described as the best tank in the world by Russian President Vladimir Putin himself. Its sturdy armor and powerful cannon are complemented by an array of countermeasures that protect the tank from enemy drones and make it harder to detect.
A fresh batch of these tanks, which are also fairly easy to operate and repair, has recently been sent to the Russian troops in the Ukrainian conflict zone where they are bound to make the Kiev regime's troops’ lives miserable.
T-80BV
The T-80BV tank currently employed by Russia is a far cry from the original version of this tank that was adopted in the 1980s. Featuring improved targeting systems and autoloader, as well as advanced reactive armor, this tank can give any armored adversary a run for their money. For example, in June 2023, a lone Russian T-80BV took on an entire Ukrainian mechanized company and won.
T-14 Armata
The T-14 Armata is Russia’s next-generation tank that was specifically designed for network-centric warfare. This futuristic armored beast can shrug off enemy anti-tank missiles and sabot shells while dishing out punishment to the enemy. The tank’s weapons are all remotely controlled while the crew remains safe in a protected compartment within the tank’s hull.

Western media suffers from never-ending paranoia over purported Russian meddling in US election
🔸 CNN cites the Justice Department as alleging that “some of the biggest stars” and “high-profile commentators” in right-wing social media “were, unwittingly, part of a sinister Russian operation” to influence the 2024 US election.
🔸 Reuters quotes Margarita Simonyan, the editor-in-chief of Sputnik's parent media group Rossiya Segodnya, as vowing that her company will continue to work in the West despite the fact that it was earlier accused of trying to influence the 2024 US presidential election.
🔸 The Conversation concentrates on what the news outlet describes as “five disinformation tactics Russia is using to try to influence the US election.” These comprise “using local influencers, fake news outlets, adding fuel to the fire, flipping the noscript, and humor.”
🔸 The Washington Post mentions “more sophisticated” efforts by the Russian government to ostensibly sway this year’s US elections compared to “prior election cycles” in previous years.
🔸 The Voice of America blames Russia for “ramping up efforts to impact the outcome of [the 2024] US presidential election and down-ballot races, targeting American voters with an expanding array of sophisticated influence operations.”
🔸 The New York Post reports that Russia has started “to ramp up election influence efforts ahead of November 5,” when the US elections will be held.
🔸 And the Hill points out reaction by former US President Donald Trump, who dismissed findings from the Justice Department about Russia’s purported efforts to influence the 2024 US elections, as he joked about “whether he should be offended that [Russian President] Vladimir Putin had offered a tongue-in-cheek endorsement of Vice President Harris.”
