NATO update

 

What's in the kit of a special forces’ dog handling team? Rejs is a Belgian Malinois currently serving with the Latvian army’s Special Operations Forces.  During missions, as a combat assault canine, Rejs helps Latvian commandos by sniffing out explosive traps, chasing down high-value targets and using his incredible speed and agility to get the jump on foes. Rejs requires a lot of kit to do his job, which is carried by his handler, a Latvian Special Forces operator. In this piece, we get to see the items the dog handling team carries in their backpack – from a dog bowl to a muzzle.

REMINDER: USDA Accepting Applications for Angola Agribusiness Trade Mission The U.S. Department of Agriculture Deputy Secretary Xochitl Torres Small will lead the first-ever U.S. agribusiness trade mission to Luanda, Angola on Nov. 28 – Dec. 1. USDA Foreign Agricultural Service is now accepting applications from U.S. exporters who wish to participate in this trade mission. “When it comes to trade opportunity, Sub-Saharan Africa is both promising and often over-looked, and the USDA trade mission to Angola presents an incredible prospect for U.S. food and agriculture exporters to expand and explore new business opportunities,” said Torres Small. “Angola is one of the largest markets in Africa, and with imports making up more than half of its food market, Angola is a perfect location for U.S. exporters to introduce more American-made products to African consumers.” While in Angola, participants will conduct business-to-business meetings with potential buyers, receive in-depth market briefings from FAS and industry trade experts, and participate in site visits and other networking opportunities. In addition to meeting with importers in Angola, U.S. participants will also meet with buyers from neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Republic of the Congo.

Επανήλθε με νέες “βομβες” ο αναλυτής Ρούμπιν: Η Ρωσία και η Τουρκία πρέπει να πληρώσουν αποζημιώσεις για τα εγκλήματά τους σε Ουκρανία, Αρμενία, Κύπρο και Ελλάδα

Ο γνωστός και έγκυρος ιστότοπος «19FortyFive» σε νέο άρθρο γνώμης του Michael Rubin τονίζει την απροθυμία της διεθνούς κοινότητας να απαιτήσει αποζημιώσεις από τη Ρωσία και την Τουρκία, τις οποίες χαρακτηρίζει ως δύο από τις πιο αλυτρωτικές και επιθετικές χώρες.

Επισημαίνεται ότι ο Ταγίπ Ερντογάν πρέπει να τιμωρηθεί για την αυξανόμενη επιθετικότητά του προς τα ελληνικά νησιά και ότι η από μέρους του απόρριψη των συνόρων που θέτει η Συνθήκη της Λωζάνης ανοίγει την πόρτα για εδαφικές προσαρμογές προς την άλλη κατεύθυνση, μέχρι και την κυριαρχία στη Σμύρνη.....
