Russian President Vladimir Putin has finally admitted on Sunday that Russia is facing fuel shortages due to waves of Ukrainian drone attacks deep inside the country.

Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least eight people across Ukraine on Monday and wounded dozens more, the deadliest of them tearing through the central city of Dnipro.

In the wake of two major earthquakes that hit Venezuela, the United States military is surging aid, personnel, and aircraft to help coordinate relief. Roughly 100 highly specialized airmen from a contingency response element arrived in the country with the vital job of helping restart airport operations after the quakes.
U.S. Southern Command did not specify the unit, but photos posted to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service confirm the Air Force’s 621st Contingency Response Wing was deploying to Venezuela.

In 2023, the VA’s Veteran Population Projection (VetPop) Model counted 95,000. It estimated just 31,000 in 2026. And here we are.

It’s a stark reminder that one day there will be no one left of the 16.4 million who served during World War II.
