Putin rages at ‘rude’ Zelensky as he refuses to meet Ukrainian President to end war | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s open letter was “rude” as the despot rejected a proposed meeting. The Russian leader was responding to a public appeal from Zelensky, who urged him to hold direct talks aimed at bringing an end to the war Speaking at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum, Putin said Zelensky’s message contained “elements of rudeness” and questioned whether it had been intended to pave the way for negotiations. “And this letter really does contain elements of rudeness. What is this? Is this a way of creating conditions for personal meetings and negotiations? Or is it creating a situation in which it is actually impossible to hold any personal meetings at all?” he said. Putin also referred to what he described as a “terrible crime” in Starobilsk, claiming there had been “not a single military target” there. The Russian president said he had contacted a Russian businessman who met Zelensky in Kyiv in May and asked him to explain the contradiction between Ukraine’s call for talks and the attack. …

‘Self-destructive’ Putin loses home support as Ukraine war rages on – Press Review

Published by Sam Flores

PRESS REVIEW – Monday, 25 May 2026: First, papers discuss whether Russian President Vladimir Putin has lost support from his backers. Next, a police raid of opposition party headquarters in Turkey is getting considerable coverage. Also, the Enhanced Games do not lead to the many breakthroughs that were expected, with only one new world “record”. Meanwhile, a 99-year-old breaks records in the sky. Finally, actors called Chris and talking animals are more likely to make it in Hollywood than women over the age of 60. The Russian strikes on Ukraine over the weekend are still being discussed in the papers. The Guardian quotes Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelensky, who called the attacks “deranged” in a social media post. The paper also suggests that Russia’s Putin is “trying to keep up appearances” despite losing the trust of his supporters. Fortune magazine describes an increasingly alarmed Russian elite. The Atlantic says that Putin can no longer hide his catastrophe, and that he has lost control of the narrative.  In Turkey, the Turkish state paper Daily Sabbah reports that police officers evicted the headquarters of the main opposition party, the CHP. Libération also reports that Istanbul’s private Bilgi University was closed on Friday. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has since announced it would reopen. Libération suggests that these …

Fanklin Graham’s evangelistic rally at Chizhovka Arena in Minsk, Belarus Credit: Billy Graham Evangelistic Association As Russia’s war with Ukraine falters, reports suggest that Vladimir Putin is pressuring his ally, Belarus president, Alexander Lukashenko, to become involved in the conflict. While this is happening on the political front, something else is taking place spiritually inside Belarus. Recently, US Evangelist Franklin Graham was allowed to hold a two day rally in the country, CBN reports. Called the Festival of Hope, it’s being described as the largest evangelistic rally in the country’s history. Some went a step further and called it a ‘miracle.’ On the final night, over 15,000 people filled the Chizhovka Arena in the Belarus’ capital city, Minsk. So many people showed up, that organizers were forced to use an overflow area. But even that wasn’t sufficient, as many had to stand outside to listen to the crusade. Organizers handed out over 2,000 Bibles to the hundreds who responded to Graham’s Gospel presentation over the two day event. Belarus Christians fasted and prayed for the …

Another Mac Mini Option Goes MIA as Memory Shortage Rages On

Another Mac Mini Option Goes MIA as Memory Shortage Rages On

Published by skeptic

If you’d been thinking of picking up an Apple Mac Mini anytime soon, think again. Several high-end Apple computers were listed last week as “currently unavailable” on the company’s online store, including multiple RAM-intensive configurations of the M4 Mac Mini and Mac Studio. Now, even the cheapest Mac Mini configuration with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD has been completely removed from Apple’s online store. Previously, this configuration was listed as out of stock, and there was an implication that it might return once Apple freed up the necessary components — now we have confirmation that this product isn’t coming back to shelves. The product removal effectively changes the starting price for the M4 Mac Mini, as the cheapest available configuration is a $799 model with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage space. While RAMageddon is raising computer prices across the board, it’s becoming clear that less popular computer configurations just won’t be supported as parts get shifted to more important products. Other affected products include high-end configurations like the 32GB and 64GB …

In this image taken with a slow shutter speed, President Donald Trump speaks in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, April 30, 2026, in Washington. President Donald Trump went on a lengthy tirade against The New York Times on Thursday, accusing the newspaper of being “seditious” after its editorial board published a piece titled “The US Military Was Losing Its Edge. After Iran, Everyone Knows It.”  During his rant, Trump continued to insist that Iranian forces had been “militarily decapitated” before accusing both the Times and CNN of reporting that Iran was winning the war.  “…And yet I read in The New York Times, I see it on that stupid CNN, which I only watch because you have to watch a little bit of the enemy,” Trump said. “So I watch it for a very short period. But you have to, you know, you have to be smart. And if you see CNN, you’d think they’re winning the war. If you read The New York Times, it’s actually seditious in my opinion. You read The New …

Pope Leo rages ‘enough of war!’ and slams ‘idolatry of money’ in apparent Trump swipe | World | News

Published by Sam Flores

Pope Leo has raged “enough of war” and condemned the “the idolatry of self and money” in an apparent swipe at President Donald Trump. The pontiff delivered his strongest condemnation yet of the US-Israeli war in Iran, warning of the “delusion of omnipotence” he believes is driving the conflict. Speaking during an evening peace vigil at St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City on Saturday, the first US-born pope issued a direct appeal to world leaders to stop the fighting and return to negotiations. His remarks came as US and Iranian delegations met face-to-face in Pakistan in an effort to preserve a fragile ceasefire. Although Pope Leo did not directly mention the United States, Iran, Israel or Donald Trump by name, his comments appeared aimed at leaders who have justified military action in religious terms. Addressing political leaders, he said: “To them we cry out: stop! It is time for peace! Sit at the table of dialogue and mediation – not at the table where rearmament is planned and deadly actions are decided.” The Pope added: …

Oliver Contreras/AFP/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Oliver Contreras/AFP/Getty Images U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asked Army Chief of Staff Randy George to step down and retire, a U.S. official confirmed to NPR.

In his first address to the nation since launching strikes on Iran on Feb. 28, President Trump said on Wednesday the conflict was “nearing completion,” but first the U.S. is intensifying its assault. “We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next …

As the Iran conflict enters its fourth week, strikes on nuclear sites and a reported attack on a US-UK base signal further escalation. With no clear exit in sight, fears are mounting of wider instability and humanitarian fallout. “The attack on Diego Garcia is an escalation… it’s a joint US-UK base, not just US territory – that in and of itself is definitely an escalation,” said Ali Vaez, Director of the Iran Project and senior adviser at the International Crisis Group.
