Tucker Carlson calls himself a journalist. He probably thought he would come across as such during his interview with Vladimir Putin when he asked him if he was willing to release Evan Gershkovich, the correspondent for Wall Street Journal imprisoned in Russia for “espionage”. When the Kremlin strongman responded that the “dialogue continues” about his fate, Carlson retorted: “He’s a kid and he may have broken the law in one way or another, but this is not a super spy and everyone knows it. »
Carlson is not a journalist, but if he were, he would be a traitor to his profession. And the Wall Street Journal did not fail to denounce his malicious insinuations: “Evan is a journalist and journalism is not a crime. Any statement to the contrary is fiction. Evan was unjustly arrested and has been wrongfully detained by Russia for nearly a year for doing his job, and we continue to demand his immediate release. »
Ted Mann, a journalist from Wall Street Journaladded to X by writing that it was “shameful of Carlson to suggest that Evan was ‘infringing [leur] loi”.

Kristóf Rasovszky won a gold medal and Dávid Betlehem won an Olympic quota in the open water swimmers’ 10-kilometer competition on Sunday at the World Championships in Doha, reports MTI.
With this, Rasovszky won the second world championship title of his career, but he was able to win for the first time in the 10-kilometer Olympic event, in 2019 he won the gold medal in the 5-kilometer race in Gwangju. The 26-year-old swimmer won the silver medal in this event at the Fukuoka World Championships last year, and as in the Tokyo Olympics, he was also overtaken by the German Florian Wellbrock, but this time his rival was well behind, finishing in 29th place.
“I came here after last year’s World Cup thinking that I would like to win a medal again, which would be a good start to the year, so I tried to do as much as possible. Here, the conditions were very favorable for me, as there was a little wind, waves and the water was cooler than usual,” said Rasovszky after the race, adding that in Paris he will continue to focus only on the podium, because as it seemed, apart from that those who already had an Olympic quota did not perform very well,
Nikol Pashinyan To The New Prime Minister Of…
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan congratulated Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidzev, who took office on February 9, in his microblog of the X social network. Nikol Pashinyan expressed hope that the strategic partnership based on common values, friendship and democratic ideas will continue to expand. Armenia and Georgia signed a declaration on that partnership just a few days ago, when Nikol Pashinyan paid a working visit to Georgia.
A day or two after that visit and the signing of the declaration of strategic partnership, it became known that the prime minister is changing in Georgia, Irakli Gharibashvili is giving way to Kobakhidze, the head of the Georgian Dream governing party. Both in Georgia and beyond, there is no doubt that this change is the decision of Bidzina Ivanishvili, who returned to active politics, the founder and real leader of the Georgian Dream. Moreover, as it is possible to judge from the logic of realities, as well as from the response of Georgian expert and certain political circles, this change has both internal and external motives.
Was the signing of the strategic declaration with Armenia important, or did it coincide chronologically, so to speak? It is hard to imagine that Ivanishvili was against such a declaration,

Russia insists – as its president Putin did on Friday – that Ukraine hit the aircraft with a projectile and killed the 65 Ukrainian prisoners who were traveling on it to be exchanged. kyiv, without denying or affirming its involvement, doubts the presence of its military on board and wonders why no human remains have been seen so far.
The war in ukraine It is, like almost all, a war of misinformation. Another of his last episodes reaches France. In the early hours of January 17, Moscow claimed to have eliminated French fighters; Telegram channels and pro-Kremlin bloggers then spread lists with the identities of “dead French mercenaries.” Well, the AFP agency has located and spoken to some of them. They confirm that they have fought and are fighting in the ranks of Ukraine, but under the same conditions as the military of that country, and they deny the attack in which they had supposedly lost their lives.

Jakarta –
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un vowed that Pyongyang would not hesitate to ‘end’ South Korea if attacked. This was conveyed by Kim Jong Un when relations between the neighboring countries reached a new low.

“If the enemy dares to use force against our country, we will make a bold decision that will change history and will not hesitate to mobilize all superpowers to end it,” Kim said, according to Pyongyang’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA), reported by AFP, Friday (9/2/2024).

_Ukraine, Israel, Iran, And American Military: The Complex…
Without boots on the ground, the United States has been a leading financial and military supporter – in two major wars. In both cases, the two countries receiving American aid — Ukraine and Israel — have struggled to achieve their goals, and in the case of Israel, the United States is blamed in many parts of the world for the extent of its support.
The United States is also leading a retaliatory campaign against the Iran-backed Houthi militia that has increased in intensity in recent days, with each new strike raising concerns about a looming conflict with Iran. Since the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, Iran, through its agents, has not hesitated to carry out operations against American interests in the region. Which sparked American military discussions about the quality of American deterrence.
Even before the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, Iranian forces were launching missile and drone strikes, operating through proxies that gave them a degree of deniability. American reactions were consistently tentative and unfocused. So; There is now talk about what should deterrence in the Middle East look like in order to be an effective measure against Iranian actions? In their discussions of Iran’s strategy,

Israel’s Ongoing Conflict with Hamas: Exploring Alternative Approaches
In the current ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, the Israeli government has been working diligently to degrade Hamas’s combat capabilities. However, according to US intelligence officials, they have not yet come close to achieving their war aim of eliminating the Palestinian terror organization.
The Biden administration has expressed doubts over Israel’s stated goal of destroying Hamas, particularly in light of the recent deadly rampage carried out by the terror group across southern Israel. Thousands of terrorists killed 1,200 people and took 253 hostages, including individuals of all ages.
Although casualties in Gaza were not discussed during a closed-door intelligence briefing for Congress members, it is important to note that figures provided by Hamas-run health authorities cannot be independently verified. These numbers are believed to include fatalities caused by failed rocket fire from Gaza terror groups and do not differentiate between civilians and combatants. On the other hand, Israel claims to have eliminated 10,000 Hamas gunmen in Gaza as well as 1,000 terrorists within its own borders on October 7.
The Primary Aims
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has consistently emphasized that his primary aims in this ongoing war are two-fold: destroying both the military and political capabilities of Hamas while also securing the safe return of all hostages held by these terrorist organizations.
