What a difference a few decades make. Rheinmetall, Germany’s behemoth arms maker, announced last week that it will begin the production of gun barrels in the U.K. as part of a new defense agreement between London and Berlin—Europe’s two top military spenders.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said last week that the Western idea that it could inflict a strategic defeat on Russia is a “mere illusion” and grossly underestimates the country’s unity, spirit, and history, according to RT.
The U.S. and fellow G7 countries announced last week that they will begin “utilizing the income” from Russian assets that have been frozen in the West since the start of the Ukraine War in February 2022.
Russia’s envoy to the UN accused the West of training Ukrainian saboteurs in how to effectively target nuclear sites inside Russia, and warned that such an escalation could result in a “radiation nightmare” in Europe, according to RT.
