US relocated strategic bombers from the island of Guam

US forces deployed B-52 strategic bombers from Guam Island in the Pacific Ocean and relocated them to a North Dakota base.  This was done in order to get these planes out of a potential attack from China and use them more flexibly in Washington’s global plans.

Five B-52s left the Andersen Air Force base on Guam Island on April 16 and arrived at Minot base in North Dakota.  Strategic bombers B-52, B-1 and B-2 have been deployed in turn on Guam since 2004 as part of a policy of pressure on China and the DPRK.  From there, they made, in particular, flights to the zone of the Korean Peninsula to demonstrate the US military power to Pyongyang.

However, bases on Guam, Sankei notes, now find themselves in the potential strike zone of Chinese medium-range missiles.  In such circumstances, it was decided to transfer all strategic bombers to the United States.  The Pentagon does not exclude a new temporary transfer of such aircraft to Guam.

Between October 2024 and March 2025, the United States plans to begin a partial relocation of the Marine Corps to Guam from the southern Japanese island of Okinawa.  It is planned to relocate about 5 thousand of the 19 thousand marines located in Japan.  Their transfer is intended to reduce the contingent in Okinawa, where more than 70% of the area of ​​American military facilities in the country is concentrated.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

  Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
