BREAKING: Russia officially declares the United States an "enemy" for the first time ever.
In a significant shift in geopolitical relations, the Kremlin has officially declared the United States an "enemy" for the first time ever amid ongoing tensions over Ukraine.
The announcement comes from Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, citing this as part of a broader pattern of preventing U.S. citizens from interacting with Russia. This marks a notable change in Russia's rhetoric, moving from previous terms like "unfriendly states" or "opponents" to explicitly calling the U.S. an enemy.
The strain in U.S.-Russia relations has been escalating, especially following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The conflict has seen the West, led by the U.S., providing significant support to Ukraine, which Russia perceives as direct involvement in the conflict.
The U.S., for its part, has been increasingly critical of Russia's actions in Ukraine and has imposed various sanctions. The U.S. has also been supportive of Ukraine, providing military aid and allowing Ukraine to use American-supplied weapons to strike targets within Russia.
This development is a clear indicator of the worsening relations between the U.S. and Russia, marking a new low in their diplomatic ties. The implications of this declaration are yet to be fully understood, but it could potentially lead to further escalations and tensions between the two superpowers.
China says the United States is the biggest source of world chaos and the greatest threat to international stability.
China has openly accused the United States of being the "biggest source of world chaos" and the "greatest threat to international stability." This perspective has been expressed by Chinese officials and on social media platforms, reflecting a significant strain in the U.S.-China relationship.
The Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson, Wu Qian, has been vocal in criticizing U.S. actions, stating that the U.S. is "the fundamental source of chaos in the international order" and "the biggest destroyer of regional peace and stability." This stance is partly in response to a Pentagon report detailing China's growing military capabilities.
The U.S.-China relationship is characterized by a mix of stabilization efforts and ongoing tensions. Despite attempts at dialogue, both sides have yet to establish a cohesive agenda beyond consultations, with longstanding areas of tension such as trade and Taiwan threatening to escalate at any moment.
While the U.S. and China have engaged in diplomatic efforts, the entrenched view in Beijing and across the Chinese public remains that the U.S. desire to preserve its "global hegemony" is at odds with China's development and interests. This viewpoint is shared among the Chinese leadership, reflecting a broader skepticism about U.S. intentions.
This situation underscores the complex and often adversarial relationship between the two global powers, with significant implications for international stability and cooperation.
Crocus-style jihadist attack threat in US, warns FBI chief
FBI Director Christopher Wray told a Senate Appropriations committee that there is a threat of an Islamic attack on US soil after the Bureau has seen a multiple terrorist call for attacks against US targets.
In arguing the case for the FBI’s funding to be increased by over $660 million from last year to $11.3 billion, he claimed the greatest concern is small groups drawing “twisted inspiration from the events in the Middle East to carry out attacks here at home”.
He highlighted a rise in anti-Jewish hate crimes referenced the Crocus City Hall attacks as examples, and warned there would be “very significant” consequences if the FBI’s budget is cut.

South Korea partially exits its military agreement with DPRK
Seoul's National Security Council announced that it finds it necessary to put a stop to some of the already limited legal measures of the Comprehensive Military Agreement between the two Koreas.
The launch of balloons, which indeed came from the territory of North Korea (DPRK) and inconvenienced some South Koreans, was retaliation for propaganda balloons from the South Korean side, which kept landing in DPRK since late 2023. But South Korea partially exited the deal in November 2023, over the satellite launch.

Russia warns the U.S. against the potential "fatal consequences" of allowing Ukraine to deploy U.S.-supplied weapons against targets inside Russia. This statement was made on June 3, 2024, as tensions escalate over the conflict in Ukraine. - My Channel World
The Kremlin on Monday said the U.S. could face "fatal consequences" if it ignores Moscow’s warnings that Ukraine should not use weapons provided by Washington to attack Russia. This comes amid reports that the U.S. has given Ukraine permission to strike some targets in Russia.
The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Sergei Ryabkov, issued the warning, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation. This follows recent decisions by the Biden administration to allow Ukraine to use American munitions in specific circumstances.
The U.S. has been cautious about its involvement in the conflict, but recent developments suggest a shift in policy. The decision to allow Ukraine to use U.S. weapons against Russian targets has raised concerns about the escalation of the conflict.
"I would like to warn American leaders against miscalculations that could have fatal consequences," Ryabkov said. This statement underscores the high stakes involved in the ongoing conflict and the potential for further escalation.
The international community watches closely as the situation unfolds, with many concerned about the implications of the U.S.'s decision. The balance between supporting Ukraine and avoiding a broader conflict is a delicate one.
COVID-19 rules were hot air - Fauci confesses
Dr. Anthony Fauci confesses he 'made up' covid rules including 6 feet social distancing and masking kids as reported by Daily Mail - My Channel World
Speaking to counsel on behalf of the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic earlier this year, Fauci told Republicans that the six foot social distancing rule 'sort of just appeared' and that he did not recall how it came about.
'You know, I don't recall. It sort of just appeared,' he said according to committee transcripts when pressed on how the rule came about.
He added he 'was not aware of studies' that supported the social distancing, conceding that such studies 'would be very difficult' to do.
In addition to not recalling any evidence supporting social distancing, Fauci also told the committee's counsel that he didn't remember reading anything to support that masking kids would prevent COVID.
'Do you recall reviewing any studies or data supporting masking for children?' he was asked.
'I might have,' he responded before adding 'but I don't recall specifically that I did.'
