We want to hope that difficulties and hardships, as well as mutual conflicts, will remain in the past.

Long-standing conflicts are escalating, new hotspots of tension are emerging, and the search for solutions is being replaced by dangerous unilateral actions.

Through Operation Southern Spear, the Department of War is unwavering in its mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere in partnership with U.S. Coast Guard through the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department.

In another pre-dawn action, Marines and Sailors from Joint Task Force Southern Spear, in support of the Department of Homeland Security, launched from USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and apprehended Motor/Tanker Veronica without incident. The Veronica is the latest tanker operating in defiance of President Trump’s established quarantine of sanctioned vessels in the Caribbean, proving the effectiveness of Operation Southern Spear yet again.

These operations are backed by the full power of the U.S. Navy’s Amphibious Ready Group, including the ready and lethal platforms of USS Iwo Jima (LHD 7), USS San Antonio (LPD 17), and USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD 28). The only oil leaving Venezuela will be oil that is coordinated properly and lawfully. The Department of War, in coordination with interagency partners, will defend our homeland by ending illicit activity and restoring security in the Western Hemisphere.

A suspect has been arrested who received 900 million tomans to carry out killings.

We have accurate intelligence that the United States, the Zionist regime, and some of their allied countries have recently formed a coordination center for separatists and terrorists to outline a future roadmap.

They planned for each separated region to write its own constitution and they have directed arms smuggling, financial, and logistical support to realize these Balkanization projects.

Some terrorists died due to heavy drug use.

Organizers distributed industrial drugs to intensify violence, and in some cases leaders killed their own members with close-range shots to fabricate deaths and incite public emotions.

Targeted attacks on religious and cultural sites and the burning of the Quran show that these actions had security and terrorist objectives, not protest or livelihood-related aims.

I would like to point out that Russia and the Republic of Cuba enjoy truly strong and friendly relations.

We always provide assistance to our Cuban friends and stand in solidarity with their determination to defend their sovereignty and independence with all their might.

The Russian-Cuban alliance is time-tested and is based on the sincere mutual sympathy of the peoples of both countries.

We are jointly implementing projects vital to the Cuban economy in energy, metallurgy, transport infrastructure, and medicine, and are expanding cultural and humanitarian exchanges.

All the headlines like these are examples of reporting that are beyond inaccurate.

The circumstances around the necessary, decisive action to be taken against the evil Iranian regime have nothing to do with President Trump’s will or determination.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Quite the opposite. Stay tuned.

The Department of War is returning Stars & Stripes to its original mission: reporting for our warfighters.

We are bringing Stars & Stripes into the 21st century. We will modernize its operations, refocus its content away from woke distractions that syphon morale, and adapt it to serve a new generation of service members.

Stars & Stripes will be custom tailored to our warfighters. It will focus on warfighting, weapons systems, fitness, lethality, survivability, and ALL THINGS MILITARY. No more repurposed DC gossip columns; no more Associated Press reprints.

Stars & Stripes has a proud legacy of reporting news that’s important to our service members. The Department of War is committed to ensuring the outlet continues to reflect that proud legacy.

Greenland is an autonomous but integral part of the Danish Kingdom.

France has decided to join the exercise scheduled and launched by Denmark, in a sovereign and independent manner, within the framework of ‘Arctic Endurance.’

A first team of French military personnel is already on site and will be reinforced in the coming days by land, air, and sea resources.

Excuse me for the way my eye looks today. It is just a small accident.

See it simply as an unintentional reference to the ‘eye of the tiger’ at the start of this year.

For those who get the reference, it is a sign of determination.

Shut your mouth! Shut up!

Don’t worry. When the regime changes, they will come after you.
