🚨#BREAKING: Signs in Moscow with Putin's quote: "The Russian border ends nowhere"

This quote was told by Putin to a 9 yr old boy in 2016

Putin: Where does the border of Russia end?
Kid: The Russian border ends on the Bering Strait
Putin: Wrong, the Russian border ends nowhere Image
Another ad popped up today in preparation for Russia's 'Defender of the Fatherland Day'

"History always repeats itself. Strength is in the truth, and the truth it ours"
Here's a billboard in Moscow stating: "23rd February. For victory, for our people, for truth" Image
All this while Biden walks the streets of Kiev

Seems we're in for a long proctated war, and the risk of global escalation seems more real than ever

Will the West, China, Ukraine or Russia step up and take concrete steps to de-escalate this war!?

🧵THE EPIC EVOLUTION OF THE SPACE SUIT

Since Alan Shepard's historic 1961 flight, astronauts have relied on spacesuits for protection and work in space.

From the silver Mercury suits to the revolutionary SpaceX EVA Suit, these personal spacecraft have safeguarded explorers during launches, spacewalks, and moon landings.Image
1. PROJECT MERCURY

When NASA's Mercury program started, spacesuits evolved from earlier high-altitude flight suits, enhanced with Mylar for added strength and temperature resilience.

On February 20, 1962, astronaut John H. Glenn Jr. wore his silver Mercury spacesuit for his historic flight, becoming the first American to orbit the Earth.

After 3 orbits, Friendship 7 landed in the Atlantic Ocean, where Glenn was recovered by the Navy Destroyer Noa.

Glenn is unique for having flown in both a Mercury and a shuttle suit.

2. PROJECT GEMINI SPACE SUIT

Unlike the rigid Mercury suit, the Gemini suit was designed for flexibility and spacewalking.

However, cooling with air proved ineffective, leading to overheating, exhaustion, and helmet fogging during spacewalks.

🇺🇸🧵FACT-CHECKING THE FIRST PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE BETWEEN KAMALA AND TRUMP

ABC News hosted the first 2024 presidential debate between Kamala and Trump in Philadelphia. Here’s a breakdown of the key claims from both candidates and how they measure up to the facts.
1- TRUMP CLAIM: "We have inflation like very few people have ever seen before. Probably the worst in our nation’s history."

FACT-CHECK: False. Inflation was high under Biden, peaking at 9%, but it has been worse historically, like during the 1980s oil crisis (14.5%).
2- HARRIS CLAIM: Trump left us the "worst unemployment since the Great Depression."

FACT-CHECK: False. Unemployment peaked at 14.8% in April 2020 during the pandemic but dropped to 6.4% by January 2021.

🧵🇺🇸TRUMP VS KAMALA: PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE PREVIEW

Get ready for a historic night!

Kamala faces off against Trump in their first debate since becoming the Democratic nominee.

Here's what you need to know about tomorrow night's high-stakes event: 👇Image
THE RULES.

Debate rules remain largely unchanged, including muted mics when candidates aren't speaking.

This controversial measure, initially seen as a challenge for Trump, may now work in his favor.

Kamala's team voiced concerns but agreed to avoid a potential Trump withdrawal.

With no audience and strict rules against direct questioning and props, this debate promises to be a focused battle of ideas.

Let's break down where Trump and Kamala stand on 8 key issues.
1. ABORTION.

Trump:
"If Kamala Harris has her way, they will have a federal law for abortion to rip the baby out of the womb in the 8th or 9th month."

Kamala:
"We who believe in reproductive freedom will stop Donald Trump's extreme abortion bans because we trust women to make decisions about their own bodies."

My uncle was at MIT, a professor, the longest-serving professor in the history of MIT...

You need a president who's not going to take you into war."

🧵🇺🇸 5 BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS FROM TRUMP'S INTERVIEW WITH MARK LEVIN

Trump's recent interview with Mark Levin on Fox covered a range of topics, from foreign policy to domestic issues.

And Trump did not hold back—no surprise there!

Let's dive into the 5 most significant takeaways:Image
1. 🇺🇸 TARIFFS AND AMERICAN JOBS

"It's not a tax on the middle class; it's a tax on other countries... Without tariffs, we'll lose jobs in Detroit, Michigan, South Carolina, and beyond.

We've already lost 57% of our car manufacturing over the last 30 years."
2. 🇷🇺🇨🇳 RUSSIA-CHINA ALLIANCE

"We could have had a much different relationship with Russia.

I will say this, between Obama and Biden, they pushed Russia into the arms of China.

And I've always said that would be the worst thing that could happen in terms of the world."
