Donald Trump was, as everyone remembers, impeached twice during his first term as president, both of them after Democrats took control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections.

Aircraft parked on the open ramp are among the most valuable assets on any airfield, and among the most exposed to damage from cheap, small drones. The Department of War and the Air Force are building a layered solution of new guidance, new units, new equipment, and a stream of tests on the flightline to protect those assets.

Even Trump Voters Want Republicans to Break With Him – President Donald Trump is becoming a major liability for Republican candidates ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, and new polling suggests that even some voters who elected him in 2024 want GOP candidates to distance themselves from the White House to save the Republican majority in both chambers of Congress.

A new POLITICO poll published on Friday, October 9, found that 26% of Americans who voted for Trump in 2024 believe that Republican candidates should break with the president to improve their chances of winning.

Footage from the frontlines in the Ukrainian theatre has shown a rare T-64 main battle tank in Russian Army service, which is one of the most scarcely used types in service. The T-64’s design was used as a basis for developing the T-72/90 and the T-80 which currently form almost the entire Russian tank fleet.

U.S. President Donald Trump has been transparent that a renewed bombing campaign is on the table, and Iran – while committing to proportionate responses to what it perceives to be U.S. hostility – has increasingly launched drones and missiles at commercial shipping in the Persian Gulf.

Nevertheless, the key blockers to a permanent peace agreement reflect how the war is being fought.

According to Iran’s proposal, rejected by the U.S.

Iran is running out of good options, and its military is in rough shape. So it is sending its proxies into the fight.

Over the past two weeks, Tehran and its Houthi allies in Yemen have unleashed a series of attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and on Saudi airports, including King Khalid International in Riyadh.

Ukraine is bleeding people, and not all of it is happening at the front.

Most expected to be home in weeks.

More than four and a half years later, a growing number of them have quietly stopped planning to come back, having built a new life in a safer country (for now).

Many political observers, including James Carville, who once strategized Bill Clinton’s Democratic presidential victory in 1992, have been baffled by President Donald Trump’s midterm strategy.

In a year expected to deliver a backlash against the unpopular president’s party, Trump has put himself front and center, telling voters to act like he’s on the ballot and even holding a rare midterm convention last month. Sure, he’s underwater on approval ratings, as is his party, but Trump has made it clear he doesn’t trust those polls.
