On Feb. 3, the Islamic State (IS or ISIS) terror group lost its second leader in two years when Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Quraishi blew himself up along with his family during a daring U.S. military raid in northwest Syria. However, despite these leadership losses, ISIS has expanded in Africa’s Sahel region and sees new regional opportunities following the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. Meanwhile, according to Reuters, the terror group has returned to its shadow roots, since losing its large geographic footprint at the peak of its power seven years ago. Prior to being decimated by U.S. and coalition forces under…
In response to Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s aggressive military actions around Ukraine, President Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated on February 8 that the final certification and opening of the already completed $11 billion Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Europe will be halted if Russia invades Ukraine. “If Russia invades, that means tanks and troops crossing the border of Ukraine again, then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2,” Biden said. “We will bring an end to it.” President Trump had sanctioned the same pipeline in late 2019 in an attempt to freeze it out of concerns that…

A viral video shows Chinese guards forcibly dragging away Sjoerd den Daas, the Greater China/East Asia correspondent for Dutch public broadcaster NOS, who was standing in front of the National Stadium. Another guard then blocked the NOS TV camera. https://twitter.com/NOS/status/1489578149507698689?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1489578149507698689%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Famericandefensenews.com%2F2022%2F02%2F04%2Fvideo-communist-chinese-guards-forcibly-remove-dutch-journalist-from-live-olympic-reporting%2F According to The Insider, Den Daas initially continued to report, however he was eventually unable to go on as the guard dragged him further away.

However, he noted that it was “not in the cards right now.” The left-wing Canadian leader made his statements while remaining hidden with his family in an ‘undisclosed location’ for COVID isolation, after one of his children tested positive. Initially begun as a trucker protest against a requirement from the U.S. and Canada that cross-border truckers be fully vaccinated has expanded into a…
