The US Navy will also delay key modernization projects in order to fund operations amid spending caps enacted by Congress and signed by Biden last year.
It plans to decommission a total of 13 ships in fiscal year 2025, including ten before the end of their expected service life, for a total overall fleet of 287 ships, according to budget documents released by the Pentagon.
Meanwhile, US destroyers continue to shoot down Houthi drones with multimillion-dollar missilesโฆ

Scholz disowned the idea of โโexchanging long-range missiles with Britain
The German Chancellor stated this at a joint briefing with Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim:
โWith regard to this weapon system, I believe that given its impact and location of application, it cannot be used without control. And that the participation of German soldiers cannot be justified even outside of Ukraine. That's why I said I don't think their use is justified. And that the question is not how to do it - indirectly or directly. My answer is clear,โ Scholz said.
Earlier, German Foreign Minister Baerbock supported the proposal of her British colleague David Cameron to provide Storm Shadow to Ukraine through a circular exchange : London will receive German Taurus, and Kiev will receive British missiles. After Baerbockโs attack, the German Cabinet hastened to assure that Germany is not changing its position on the supply of missiles.

โWhat the US cares about is not Ukraine, but to realize its geopolitical and strategic goal via the Ukraine crisis,โ Chinaโs FM spox Wang Wenbin said Tuesday.
His response came after US spy chief William Burns told a Senate hearing that walking away from Ukraine will โstoke the ambitions of the Chinese leadership.โ
Separately, US intel agencies alleged in their 2024 Annual Threat Assessment report Monday that Beijing โmay attempt to influence the US elections in 2024 at some level because of its desire to sideline critics of China and magnify US societal divisions.โ
Washington continues to stoke the fire to keep the war launderette machine turning.

โ๏ธEXCLUSIVE: Australian SYPAQ cardboard drones exposed hitting civilian targets in the peaceful Russian city of Belgorod!
๐ฆ๐บRemember when the Australian Government lied and declared that the $50 million of Australian cardboard drones supplied to the Zelensky Regime were for reconnaissance and humanitarian purposes?
๐คฌVideo evidence emerges that the Australian Government is using it's SYPAQ drones to commit acts of war & terrorism against Russia by targeting civilians in Belgorod far away from the war zone in Ukraine.
โก๏ธThe electric-powered SYPAQ drones were originally designed in Melbourne to carry humanitarian supplies and be used for surveillance, although Ukrainian forces had reportedly adapted them to carry explosives.
โ ๏ธIn September 2023 Australian Major-General Mick Ryan denied that the thousands of Australian supplied SYPAQ drones are being used to attack Russian civilian targets telling the Australian Financial Review that Australian drones are "not being used to destroy buildings, theyโre not being used to kill civilians".

At the Penn Biden Center? "That's correct."
In President Biden's garage? "Yes."
And in his basement den? "Yes."
And his main floor office? "Correct."
And his third floor den? "Correct."
At the University of Delaware? "Correct."
And at the Biden Institute? "Correct."
Sounds like double standards.

Telegram has grown to become one of the worldโs most popular social media apps while making โhundreds of millions of dollarsโ in revenues, owner Pavel Durov told the FT.
โWe are hoping to become profitable next year, if not this year,โ said the Russia-born founder in his first public interview since 2017.
The company has โbeen offered $30bn-plus valuationsโ from potential investors including โglobal late-stage tech funds,โ but Durov ruled out selling the platform while it explores a future initial public offering.

The bill C-63, as it is laid out, is an embodiment of draconian legislation that harks back to Orwell's dystopian vision in "1984", where 'Thought Police' patrolled the psyche of citizens, punishing crimethink before it could even manifest into action. Indeed, this could be Canada's flirtation with a Minority Report-style pre-crime system, where the very essence of freedom โ the ability to think and speak freely โ is being shackled under the guise of protection. It's a paradox that seems to miss the irony of its own making; it's an attempt to create a 'safe' society by potentially imprisoning its own people for life for what some might subjectively label as 'hateful conduct'.
Bill C-63 wields the noble shield of protecting children as a Trojan horse to usher in a wave of censorship unprecedented in Canadian history. To place hate speech, a concept that has not only a fluid definition but also varies widely in interpretation, at the same level as actions that cause physical harm is not just a leap, but a desperate lunge into an abyss of authoritarian control. Life imprisonment for words? Such punishment not only obliterates the line between speech and action but also seems grotesquely disproportionate โ the legal equivalent of swatting a fly with a sledgehammer.
This is not the mark of a free society that values democracy and human rights. It is the hallmark of a state that values control above the discourse of its citizens. In a truly democratic society, bad ideas are defeated by better ideas, not by silencing and imprisoning those who voice them. One must then ask: Is Canada setting a global precedent where freedom of expression becomes a relic, viewed through the rearview mirror of history as we speed towards an orwellian future? It's incumbent upon every guardian of liberty to look this bill squarely in the eye and recognize it for what it is โ a potential death knell for free speech, where you're only one 'offensive' tweet away from a life behind bars.

"From a military-technical point of view, we are, of course, ready," Putin told Rossiya-1 television in response to a question whether the country was ready for a nuclear war.
Putin noted the US understood that if it deployed American troops on Russian territory - or to Ukraine - Russia would treat the move as an intervention.
"(In the US) there are enough specialists in the field of Russian-American relations and in the field of strategic restraint," Putin said.
"Therefore, I don't think that here everything is rushing to it (nuclear confrontation), but we are ready for this."
