London (AFP) – Mauricio Pochettino will hope Tottenham Hotspur’s success in topping their Champions League group will fire up a faltering Premier League campaign. The 3-0 victory over Apoel Nicosia on Wednesday ensured Pochettino’s side ended the group stage three points clear of Real Madrid.

Security,

Northrop Grumman and Boeing teams were recently awarded Technology Maturation and Risk Reduction deals from the Air Force as part of a longer-term developmental trajectory aimed at developing new ICBMs.

The new ICBMs will be deployed roughly within the same geographical expanse in which the current weapons are stationed. In total, dispersed areas across three different sites span 33,600 miles, including missiles in Cheyenne, Wyoming, Minot, North Dakota and Great Falls, Montana. Читать дальше...

Iran’s role and aims in the Middle East—often described as expansionist—are more complicated than what typically appears on the surface.

Iran’s political elites are endorsing the assassination of former Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh and signalling that Tehran’s expansionist aims in the region are widely supported across the Iranian political spectrum.

Roy Moore thinks America was great before the '60s — the 1860s.

May has hardly met with success in trying to bolster the UK’s negotiating position with Europe.

Theresa May’s latest Brexit setback—this time over the Irish border issue—confirms the impression of May as an accident-prone British prime minister who is out of her depth as her country’s leader. This does not bode well for the smooth conclusion of the Brexit negotiations, or for the UK’s immediate economic outlook. This is especially the case... Читать дальше...
