The Department of Defense constantly keeps all of its deployments, domestic and overseas, under review. Daily operational reviews are carried out by combatant commanders and the Joint Staff monitor ongoing operations, intelligence, threats, logistics, and readiness. Significant changes can lead to recommendations to reposition or reinforce forces. The Pentagon periodically examines whether troop deployments, naval presence, air assets, and pre-positioned equipment remain aligned with strategic priorities. These reviews can result in rotations, withdrawals, or additional deployments. During international crises, the deployment of forces can be reassessed on a near-continuous basis. Senior civilian leaders, including the Secretary of Defense and the President, receive multiple updates each day and approve changes rapidly. Annual and strategic reviews, such as the National Defense Strategy process, budget planning, and global force management reviews, examine longer-term questions about where forces should be stationed and what capabilities are needed. Important elements of this process are the Global Force Management and the Global Force Management Allocation Plan process.

The growth has strengthened Vietnam’s position as a major tourism destination in Southeast Asia and increased competition with Thailand, particularly in the important Chinese visitor market. Get today's headlines by email According to a report cited by Fortune, Vietnam attracted 5.3 million Chinese tourists in 2025, surpassing Thailand’s approximately 4.5 million arrivals from China. The figures highlight Vietnam’s emergence as a significant regional rival as international tourism continues to recover following the COVID-19 pandemic. A key factor behind Vietnam’s success is the diversity of its tourism offerings. Destinations include major cities such as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, coastal resorts including Da Nang and Phu Quoc, and mountain areas such as Sa Pa. These locations appeal to a broad range of travellers interested in nature, culture, history, food and luxury experiences. Tourism growth is also spreading beyond the country’s largest cities. Visitor numbers increased sharply in secondary destinations such as Phu Quoc and Sa Pa during 2025, reflecting changing travel preferences as tourists increasingly seek unique experiences and closer connections with nature. Vietnam has supported this growth through more accessible visa policies, allowing visitors from several countries to enter without visas or remain for longer periods. The country has also invested heavily in infrastructure, including airports, hotels and international flight connections. Vietnamese airlines have expanded services from China, Japan and Singapore, with potential future growth into European markets. These developments are designed to support long-term tourism growth rather than relying solely on natural demand. Alongside increasing visitor numbers, Vietnam is seeking to attract higher-spending travellers who stay longer and return more frequently. Target markets include business travellers, conference and seminar groups, luxury tourists and medical tourists. The strategy reflects lessons learned from established tourism destinations such as Thailand and Bali. Vietnam aims to avoid some of the challenges associated with mass tourism, including overcrowding, environmental pressure, rising living costs and uneven service standards. Thailand’s experience remains particularly relevant. While Thailand has long been a leading tourism destination, the sector has faced challenges since the pandemic, including a slower recovery in Chinese arrivals, safety concerns, crime-related perceptions and ongoing debate about prioritising quality over quantity in tourism. However, analysts note that Vietnam’s rapid expansion also carries risks. Significant investment in hotels, airports and tourism developments could create excess capacity if future visitor demand declines. The Nation reported that the country’s long-term challenge will be balancing growth with sustainability while maintaining service quality, controlling overdevelopment and encouraging repeat visits. Success in these areas could help Vietnam establish itself as one of Asia’s leading tourism hubs while increasing competitive pressure across the ASEAN tourism market.

Get today's headlines by email Meloni said she was "frankly stunned" by Trump's remarks, which he made during a telephone interview with Italian broadcaster La7. According to the broadcaster's translation, Trump said: "She begged me to take a photo with her; I felt sorry for her." The Italian leader dismissed the account as entirely fabricated and used a message on Instagram to express her disbelief. "I don't know why the US president behaves this way towards allies," Meloni said. "But there is one thing he needs to remember: neither I nor Italy ever beg." The dispute has prompted a diplomatic response from Rome. Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani has cancelled a planned visit to the United States, while the White House has not publicly responded to requests for comment. Relationship Under StrainThe exchange comes despite the two leaders appearing cordial at the G7 summit in Evian-les-Bains, France. Video footage from the gathering showed Trump and Meloni engaged in lengthy conversations, including a widely circulated clip of the pair speaking on a sofa during the summit. After the meeting, Meloni told reporters there had been no disagreements between them and that their relationship remained unchanged. However, tensions between the two have been growing in recent months, particularly since Trump's decision to launch military action against Iran. Meloni has openly opposed the conflict, creating a significant policy divide between Rome and Washington. Once viewed as one of Trump's closest partners in Europe, Meloni attended his inauguration in January 2025 and was seen by many European leaders as a potential intermediary between the United States and the European Union. Relations began to cool after disagreements over Iran and other international issues. Earlier this year, Trump questioned Meloni's political courage after she criticised US policy, while she also condemned his criticism of Pope Leo XIV as unacceptable. Italian Leaders Rally Behind MeloniPolitical figures across Italy quickly came to Meloni's defence following Trump's latest comments. Italian President Sergio Mattarella reportedly contacted the prime minister to express support. Opposition politicians and coalition allies alike criticised Trump's remarks as disrespectful toward Italy and its elected leader. Members of Meloni's governing coalition argued that the footage from the G7 summit contradicted Trump's description of events and suggested his criticism reflected broader frustrations with European leaders who have increasingly challenged US positions. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini voiced support for Meloni, declaring that attacks on her amounted to attacks on the country as a whole. Wider European ShiftThe disagreement reflects a broader change in Europe's approach to Trump. Several European leaders have become more willing to publicly oppose Washington on foreign policy issues, including the conflict with Iran. Officials and diplomats across Europe have increasingly discussed strengthening the continent's strategic independence, amid concerns about relying too heavily on the United States. Political analysts also note that some right-wing European parties that once viewed Trump as a natural ally have begun putting greater distance between themselves and his administration as they respond to changing public opinion ahead of elections across Europe.

The shortest video (330) views is just a doodle with Andrew Drummond dancing as Santa Claus. Just a joke. But one video has 408,000 views and another 35,000.. another 11,000 and the others between 1 and 3000. Flowers has published 56 videos on his attack site. Of the ones that are still there he averages 22.5 views per video! So to produce 55 videos at that average he has gained 1,237.5 views. And most of them would have switched off after a few seconds. For readers toi be able to check drummond's old YouTube channel is @drummondinbangkok. As for subscribers Drummond never called for subscribers but it seems he had 380 anyway. You are just making up the figures. The videos were in the main linked to stories, but others were put there for storage purposes. You have stated Drummond has published Flower's passport. He has not. In one story he published Flowers passport photo (no other details were shown). Similarly when Flowers made DMCA compliants claiming copyright on such images as FB Messenger messages made by Flowers offering investors to 'bang a virgin' or 'an under aged girl' Drummond redacted the address and phone number of Flowers. Further, as you well know Flowers has published photos of Drummond's home, announcing that his children had left him etc etc his telephone,address, emails, and his nom de plumes on this site and others and encourages people to harass him. Fortunately Drummond only got one call. It was a UK caller asking Drummond if he could provide a 'fat lady boy' Drummomnd replied 'What's your address and I'll send one round?' The caller clicked off and never bothered him again.' You keep putting Bryan in the mire.

Replacing Iranian leverage with dependence on Saudi transit infrastructure merely concentrates power in the hands of another authoritarian regime whose interests will not always align with those of its neighbours. Saudi Arabia has faced for a long time the same sort of opposition the Shah faced in 1978. The difference is the Islamic opposition in Iran was actually very sophisticated, having been exiled in France, and adopting a constitution based on the French constitution which itself was based on the US one. By contrast, the opposition in Saudi Arabia, blooded on the streets of Syria and Northern Iraq, very working class and unsophisticated, and who literally want to turn the clock back to the days of slavery. The West desperately needs lower oil prices or a complete pivot away from oil. The Saudi government only exists because of oil. Like the Gulf Monarchies, it exists not through wise governance, but through bribery. Bribery of the population gives them non-jobs, free houses, wedding money etc. When the oil price falls, like in 2016, the Saudis are all over the place. Yes, Saudi Arabia seems to weather the storms because of their foreign reserves. Provided they can actually access them. Moreover, Gulf exports routed westward remain dependent upon two alternative choke points: the Suez Canal, whose capacity is substantially lower than the volume that can transit Hormuz and which has been blocked before, and the Bab al-Mandab, whose security ultimately depends upon Yemen and Somalia, two states with long histories of instability. Pipelines can't solve every problem. Qatar's globally important exports of helium and urea require shipping, as do refined petroleum products such as aviation fuel, while the Gulf itself depends heavily upon maritime imports of food, manufactured goods and industrial inputs because of its limited agricultural productivity. Supplying the GCC states by fleets of refrigerated trucks (what they are doing now) crossing the Saudi desert would be environmentally, economically and logistically difficult to sustain on the scale required. Plus, in the era of suicide and ambush drones, even more prone to interdiction. A more durable approach may be to recognise that Iran is not a transient problem to be managed until the next American administration, but a large, populous and historically significant regional power that will remain in the Gulf long after outside powers have reduced their presence. Iran will always be the more populous, the most sophisticated power in the Gulf, compared the the Arab camel herders. The Arabs will need to learn where the true power in the region lies, and, ultimately, will have to kiss the ring. The Gulf monarchies and Iran ultimately inhabit the same space and have a shared interest in stability, trade and economic diversification. As the world moves gradually towards lower hydrocarbon consumption, the assumption that oil and gas exports will forever provide effortless prosperity is rather optimistic. Rather than organising regional policy around the premise of permanently containing Iran, there is a strong argument for encouraging an accommodation that accepts Iran's natural pre-eminence while binding it into a cooperative regional framework that reduces incentives for confrontation and prepares all Gulf states for a post-oil future.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:59:51 +0000That's what I thought, but NATO bombed Kosovo and Libya.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:58:20 +0000Reports from Russia suggest authorities are intensifying efforts to find new recruits for the war in Ukraine, with security forces allegedly carrying out street raids and targeting men with debts, criminal records and other vulnerabilities. The claims, reported by independent Russian outlet Agentstvo.Novosti, point to growing pressure on the Kremlin as it seeks to sustain troop numbers amid heavy battlefield losses and mounting recruitment challenges. From Debt Notices to the Front Line According to accounts cited in the report, men in Russia’s Penza region are being stopped on the streets, detained during vehicle checks and taken to military enlistment offices. One woman claimed her husband was confronted over a credit card debt of 76,000 roubles and presented with a stark choice: agree to military service or face prison. She alleged he signed a contract only after threats were made against his family. The allegations could not be independently verified, but they add to a growing body of claims that Russia is relying on increasingly coercive methods to bolster its ranks. Families Allege Violence and Intimidation Another woman said her husband was stopped while travelling between towns and taken to a police station before being transferred to a military recruitment office. She alleged he was beaten before signing enlistment papers and claimed officials even arranged a new passport for him during the process. Within days, she said, he had been transported through southern Russia and into occupied Ukrainian territory. The accounts paint a picture of recruitment efforts extending far beyond traditional military campaigns or financial incentives. Recruitment Struggles Force New Tactics Human rights activists cited in the reports say the alleged operations mark a significant shift. Earlier recruitment drives often focused on prisoners or men already in contact with law enforcement. Now, critics say, authorities are actively hunting for potential recruits. The claims come as reports indicate Russia is finding it harder to attract volunteers despite offering large signing bonuses, debt relief and other benefits. Kremlin Faces Growing Battlefield Demands Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has repeatedly warned that Moscow is preparing fresh mobilisation efforts to replace losses and expand its military strength. If the allegations are accurate, they would underscore the growing strain facing Russia’s war machine more than three years into the conflict. As fighting continues across multiple fronts, the battle for manpower is becoming almost as critical as the battle on the ground.

There is only tremendous progress. They are saying it was around a thousand pounds of weapons grade stuff. Maybe more. Maybe less. Frankly it changes depending on who is losing the argument that day. And I looked at it and said very simply, it is dust. Very high quality dust. The best dust. People are treating it like it is some kind of national emergency. I said no. It is already at its final form. It is perfect dust. So no need to move it. It can stay right where it is. Now the real story, and nobody is talking about this enough, is regime change. We had regime change. People said it couldn’t be done. They said you need elections, you need protests, you need uprisings, chaos. They say I didn’t even do it. But I did it without any of that. We changed the regime and it looks almost identical. That is the most efficient regime change ever created. Some say it is barely visible regime change. And that is why it is so powerful. The Ayatollah, they say he is gone, dead. I say gone is a very harsh framing. Very fake news framing. Let’s say he has been transitioned into legacy status. And now everyone is talking about the Strait of Hormuz. Very important. Huge waterway. Tremendous waterway. They say it was already open. Wrong. Before it was open in a weak way. A low confidence open. No energy. Nobody respected it. Now it is open in a way that commands respect. People are afraid of how open it is. That is improvement. Now the money. Six hundred billion dollars. People keep bringing it up like it is a problem. And I say no. That is not a problem. That is investment storytelling. We did not lose six hundred billion. We deployed six hundred billion into uncertainty reduction. Very sophisticated concept. Very advanced. And people are saying, “But what did America actually get?” And I say that is the wrong question. We got dominance without clarity. We got victory without definition. We got a situation where nobody can agree on reality. And that is the strongest position in the world. Because when everyone is confused, nobody can make problems or challenge you. And when nobody can challenge you, you are not just winning. You are winning in a way nobody has ever seen before. Tremendous win. Possibly the most unrecognizable and understated win in history.Fri, 19 Jun 2026 19:26:01 +0000America vs Great Britain This is what we love to see. And, every single person in the boats are .....

The ruling, which also targets eight members of her production team, has triggered outrage among human rights advocates and renewed scrutiny of Tehran’s treatment of artists, women and public dissent. A Viral Performance Ends in Court Ahmadi, 29, drew global attention in December 2024 when she appeared without a hijab during a livestreamed performance of the patriotic song From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland. The concert quickly spread across social media and YouTube, attracting millions of views. Within days, Ahmadi and several musicians were detained before later being released pending legal proceedings. Court documents reportedly show that authorities in Qom province sentenced the singer and her collaborators to 74 lashes, alongside two-year bans on foreign travel and artistic activity. Culture Wars Move Centre Stage Iranian authorities accused the group of violating public decency through the production and distribution of what they described as immoral online content. While the judiciary has not publicly released the ruling, rights groups say the case fits a broader pattern of legal pressure on artists who challenge state-imposed social and cultural restrictions. Critics argue the prosecution sends a clear message: public acts of defiance, particularly by women, will continue to face severe punishment despite repeated international criticism. Rights Groups Condemn ‘Cruel’ Punishment Human rights organisations and legal experts have sharply criticised the reported sentence. Lawyers noted that singing and performing music are not explicitly criminal offences under Iranian law. Campaigners also argue that flogging violates international human rights standards and amounts to cruel and degrading treatment. A Symbol Beyond the Music The case has resonated far beyond Iran’s music scene. Exiled artists and activists say Ahmadi’s performance became a symbol of resistance against censorship and compulsory dress codes. For supporters, the ruling highlights a widening gap between official efforts to project a more moderate image abroad and the realities facing artists at home. As pressure on cultural figures grows, many fear the sentence could mark another escalation in Iran’s long-running battle against dissenting voices.

UNICEF says the continuing violence has turned the promised respite into a “deadly illusion”, with children still being killed, wounded and traumatised despite repeated international calls for protection. A Ceasefire That Never Brought Safety Speaking from Amman, UNICEF spokesman James Elder said the reality on the ground bears little resemblance to the image of a functioning ceasefire. According to figures cited by the UN, at least 992 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire was announced in October 2025. Among them were 265 children, an average of one child killed every day for more than eight months. Elder described the figure as “absurd and devastating”, arguing that the continued deaths raise serious questions about whether the situation can still be described as a ceasefire at all. Children Caught Far From Any Battlefield UNICEF stressed that many of the children were not killed on active front lines. Elder said youngsters had died in homes, schools and public spaces while carrying out everyday activities. He cited recent incidents including the deaths of a two-year-old boy, a 13-year-old child inside a tent and a five-year-old boy killed alongside his father in an air strike. The agency argues that such cases highlight the growing gap between diplomatic language and conditions experienced by civilians on the ground. Hospitals Under Pressure as Injuries Rise The crisis extends beyond fatalities. UNICEF says more than 400 children have been injured since the ceasefire declaration, many suffering severe and life-changing wounds. Hundreds are now awaiting urgent medical evacuation, while shortages of medicines and treatment supplies are increasing the risks of infection, complications and permanent disability. Trauma Deepens as Diplomacy Stalls Beyond the physical toll, the UN warns of a widening psychological crisis among Gaza’s children. Fear, displacement and repeated exposure to violence are affecting their ability to sleep, learn and develop normally. UNICEF says the continued loss of young lives is not due to a lack of solutions, but a lack of political will. As diplomatic efforts remain stalled, the agency is urging world leaders to stop treating child deaths as an inevitable feature of the conflict and instead act to prevent further casualties.
