🇸🇪🇮🇱⚡️ — During a Swedish election debate on August 17, 2026, Simona Mohamsson, the Minister of Education and of Palestinian/Lebanese origin, wore a Star of David to denounce antisemitism. This gesture, justified by the desire to "protect" Swedish Jews in the face of a rise in attacks (+15% between 2020 and 2025), sparked a heated online controversy, with some seeing it as a provocation or blind support for Israel.

🇺🇸🇰🇷🇰🇵⚡️ — North Korea may possess up to 120 nuclear warheads, not 57 as claimed by Trump.

"The numbers seem somewhat different. We generally estimate approximately 80 to 120," said Defense Minister An, when asked about the US president's assessment.

The minister clarified that this is an estimate from a South Korean research institute. The military's own data, he said, are subject to restrictions on public disclosure and cannot be revealed.

🇺🇸⚡️ — The United States Air Force has placed Major Jason Watson in pretrial confinement following his public calls for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

On July 1, Watson was detained after speaking at the Capitol building while in uniform, calling for the president's impeachment.

He was not formally charged by the military in connection with that action, although wearing a military uniform while participating in political activity is prohibited by military regulations.

He was taken into custody again on August 18, a day after he criticized Trump in an interview with CNN. According to his attorney, Watson informed his superiors that he would no longer wear his uniform and was arrested after refusing to comply with an order to put it on.

The Air Force states there is probable cause for charges of "further misconduct," but Watson has not yet been formally charged.

His attorney expects possible charges under Article 88, which prohibits contemptuous remarks against certain senior government officials, or under Article 92 for failure to obey an order.

🇺🇸⚡️ — New research shows that more than 150 wallets on the Polymarket platform may have been used to trade based on insider information about US military operations

- Reuters reports.

The Anti-Corruption Data Collective identified 152 wallets that demonstrated outstanding performance in betting on military and defense events, collectively earning about $8 million with an average winning rate of 97.2%.

Some suspicious bets were placed shortly before US military actions, including strikes related to Iran, and were subsequently copied by large traders and automated bots.

Researchers warn that since transactions on Polymarket are public, such activity could unintentionally transmit sensitive information to foreign intelligence services.

🇮🇱🇹🇷⚡️ — The Israeli newspaper Israel Hayom reports that Israel has studied how Article 5 of the NATO operates and argues that Israeli strikes on Turkish forces deployed abroad would not necessarily trigger NATO intervention.

Article 5 protects Turkey's territory but does not automatically extend to Turkish troops stationed in Syria or Northern Cyprus.

As if it weren't clear that NATO, as a matter of principle, simply would not take any action against a state occupying Palestine.
