On 14JAN2025, during the last days of the Biden regime, a Strategic Partnership ‘agreement’ was signed between Armenia and United States of America. It includes, among other things, “nuclear cooperation”. Armenia sits on the southern border of Georgia (which itself sits on the southern border of Russia) and the northern border of Iran.

2021: New year, new President, same war on drugs & illegals?
From 2007, when Sarkozy was buds with Gaddafi. Notice the anti-U.S.A. statue in the background.
A former president of NATO-France is now on trial for corruption involving illegal payments from long dead Libyan leader Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi. Interesting as the former president of NATO-France was the first to call for Gaddafi’s overthrow, which lead to Gaddafi’s brutal murder, in 2011, which was shown live on social media.
In December 2024, former French president Nicolas Sarkozy had already been given a piddly sentence in a different corruption case connected to Libya. This new trial includes 12 additional defendants.
France24 report, 07JAN2025:
The revelations which show that several NATO countries (including France, United Kingdom and United States) were taking bribes ‘in the millions’ from Gaddafi, were the result of years of investigative journalism, spurred-on by leaked government documents detailing the cash payments. Sarkozy allegedly used most of the bribes to finance his re-election campaign, if convicted in this new trial he could get a piddly ten years in prison.

“The arrival of Poland’s first F-35s is a significant milestone for our state, the nation, and our allies who will train on this fifth-generation fighter at Ebbing Air National Guard Base. I’m extremely proud of the whole team in the 188th Wing, and the staffs at Razorback Range and Fort Chaffee Joint Maneuver Training Center for the planning and work that has resulted in the sound of freedom returning to the River Valley today. They’ve partnered with the active-duty Air Force to go from concept to jets being parked on the ramp in a compressed timeframe. We are thankful for the dedicated teamwork of those in Fort Smith, Sebastian County, our entire Congressional delegation, and state elected officials who have moved mountains to make this mission possible in Arkansas.”–Brigadier General Chad Bridges, Arkansas National Guard
Polish F-35A flybys, edited from videos via Airman First Class Miles Chrisman, of the Air National Guard’s 188th FW:
On 23DEC2024, a couple of ‘firsts’ took place; the first of several Lockheed-Martin F-35A Lightning-2 (named after the P-38 Lightning) for NATO-Poland were delivered, and secondly, the training for Polish pilots will take place on an Air National Guard base.
In July 2024, the United States Air Force (USAF) 85th Fighter Group (FG) was re-activated by the 33rd Fighter Wing (FW) specifically to train Polish pilots to fly the F-35A. The 85th FG will conduct the training on Ebbing Air National Guard Base (ANGB), in Arkansas. When the 85th FG was deactivated, in 2006, its last assignment was in Iceland. The 85th FG is now part of the 33rd Fighter Wing (FW), which is part of the USAF’s Air Education and Training Command (AETC).
In May 2024, officials with the U.S. Foreign Military Sales, USAF and NATO-Poland, met on Ebbing ANGB, on Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Polish F-35A gets hosed, edited from videos via Airman First Class Miles Chrisman, Air National Guard 188th FW:
Ebbing ANGB is also home to Arkansas Air National Guard’s 188th Wing.
The decision to use Ebbing ANGB to train foreign pilots was made in 2023, after almost three years of comparing eligible air bases, both USAF and National Guard. Future F-35 training will include pilots from NATO-Finland, NATO-Germany, Singapore (one of several East Asian countries being wooed by NATO) and Switzerland (a NATO ‘partner’ but not a full member).
In November 2024, the USAF admitted it was all about supporting taxpayer subsidized Foreign Military Sales.

‘Standard’ BMP-2s destroyed in combat.
The BMP-2 was first born during the ‘Cold War’, developed from the BMP-1 during the late 1970s, going into service in 1980. It, along with the even older BMP-1, stays in service with never ending upgrades.
Russian forces trying out their new BMP-2M, somewhere in Belarus, December 2022.
The modern all-inclusive upgrades (armor, armament, power-pack, etc) for the BMP-2 are referred to, in Russian, as berezhok (бережок), and were first revealed at the end of 2019.
By August 2021, the first BMP-2Ms entered service, with the Western Military District, Leningrad Region.
‘M’ series upgrades for weapons & targeting systems, on public display.
In addition to the BMP-2M’s 30-milimeter(mm) 2A42 gun, a long barreled 30mm AGS-17 (Avtomaticheskiy Granatomot Stankovyy, automatic grenade launcher), 7.62mm machine guns and four launchers for the 9M133 anti-tank ‘Kornet’ missiles, the targeting system is using second generation thermal sights for the gunner, and the TC (tank commander) now has a panoramic sight.
BMP-2M without the armor upgrade, supposedly in the Northern Military District, sometime in 2023.
Also, the power-pack (motor/transmission) now uses a more powerful turbocharged diesel motor, and don’t forget the extra armor protection.
Armor upgrade being made in the field.
This ‘standard’ BMP-2 is being upgraded in the field with the newest armor protection.
At least it is getting the ‘M’ series armor?
In this video report, published on 20DEC2024, reporter Alexander Stroganov goes for a ride in the latest berezhok/upgrade:
Surprise! This BMP-2M berezhok turret is mounted on a BMP-3 hull.
How about on a BTR-90?
