Trump's team fires HUNDREDS of USAID employees

The 400 people were contractors employed directly by the US government.

▪️Some dismissed workers had experience in armed conflict zones, including Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine, the NYT reports.

▪️36 were dismissed from the Office of Transition Initiatives (OTI), specializing in helping “partner countries” with political transitions and so called “democratic initiatives.”

▪️The employees worked under the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance and the Support Relief Group responsible for responding to armed conflicts and natural disasters.

The purge campaign comes as Elon Musk and DOGE targeted USAID, with Musk calling it a "criminal organization" that "needs to die.”

Trump treated Putin ‘with respect bordering on admiration’

Donald Trump started exhibiting this attitude towards Vladimir Putin since the two met in Helsinki back in 2018, the WSJ reports, citing former presidential aides.

“He thinks he and Putin are friends,” said John Bolton, ex-national security advisor in Trump’s first administration.


Another former administration official said that Trump admires Putin due to how strong the latter is.

During his first presidency, Trump also reacted with annoyance to attempts by some of his aides to brief him on alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election in the US, former administration officials told the WSJ.

⚔️ Top 6 UNBELIEVABLE weapons that actually saw combat

1️⃣Sudan's game-changing upgrade: troops fitted a pickup truck with an S-8 rocket pod, a weapon typically mounted on combat aircraft and helicopters.

2️⃣Flying rocket launcher: Instead of just strapping an explosive device to it, the operators of this first-person view drone equipped it with a whole RPG-26 anti-tank weapon.

3️⃣Makeshift naval cannon: An apparent lack of conventional artillery led this group of Syrian insurgents to use what looks like an 18th or 19th century naval cannon mounted on a modern truck.

4️⃣Russia’s drone BBQ grill: Russian tank crews in the Ukrainian conflict zone came up with additional anti-drone protective measures for their vehicles, which vaguely resemble barbeque grills.

5️⃣The old reliable catapult: Israeli soldiers employed a medieval weapon known as a trebuchet to lob incendiaries into Lebanon.

6️⃣DIY self-propelled artillery: In Syria, militants transformed a civilian construction vehicle into a makeshift self-propelled artillery piece.
