Russia paid for Iranian drones with 140 million Euros cash and captured Western weapons, per Sky News. The Western weapons could be reverse-engineered by Iran, Sky's source said. The Western weapons Iran reportedly received could be instrumental for Iran's own weapons development systems. But, the source told Sky, the captured Western weapons will now "probably be reverse-engineered and used in future wars." In mid-October a Russian defense official was caught on a hot mic saying it was an open secret that the Kremlin had indeed imported Russian drones.

As quickly as they came, the Russian soldiers in northern Kyiv withdrew, regrouped and pivoted east, where Russian-backed separatists have been waging war for over eight years.

Discuția noastră a durat 2 ore și a devenit baza sonoră a filmului, de aceea titlul filmului este „Nanu Tudor”. Filmul nu a fost o răzbunare, ci o necesitate de a înțelege procesele complexe din familie.

Antreprenorul futurist Elon Musk și-a exprimat scepticismul cu privire la acuratețea testelor pentru coronavirus, după ce a spus că a făcut patru teste în aceeași zi şi acestea i-au dat atât rezultate pozitive, cât şi rezultate negative. Fondatorul SpaceX și Tesla a scris pe Twitter că i s-au administrat patru teste pentru virus într-un interval de 24 de ore, dar testele au dat rezultate contradictorii. „Două teste au dat rezultate negative, două, pozitive. Test rapid de antigen de la BD”, a scris Musk, potrivit RT. Totuşi, Musk nu a acordat nicio atenție criticilor și și-a exprimat scepticismul cu privire la procesul de testare.

With the term “personal taxes,” however, Mr. Garten appears to be conflating income taxes with other federal taxes Mr. Trump has paid — Social Security, Medicare and taxes for his household employees. Fragments of Mr. Trump’s tax returns have leaked out before. Mr. Agalarov’s father, Aras, a billionaire who boasts of close ties to Mr. Putin, was Mr. Trump’s partner in the event. Mr. Trump’s avoidance of income taxes is one of the most striking discoveries in his tax returns, especially given the vast wash of income itemized elsewhere in those filings. When they got to line 56, the one for income taxes due, the amount was the same each year: $750.

ShutterstockGoop recently made headlines for selling a $66 jade egg meant to be placed inside the vagina and squeezed using a series of muscle contractions. Is is true that having a strong pelvic floor leads to stronger orgasms, and using a jade egg might strengthen those key muscles. But a $66 jade egg is not the only way to achieve this. Plus, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) notes that some Ayurvedic supplements can contain toxic amounts of dangerous heavy metals. Obviously not all Ayurvedic products are dangerous, and people all over the world have used them without issues, as proponents argue.
