Theodore Roosevelt

The presidential race in the United States has come down to this, a brutal match between two political groups: the Democratic Party, currently in power, and the Make America Great Again group, still quaintly called the Republican Party. 

In mid-April of this year, Columbia University, a distinguished member of the Ivy League alongside institutions like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, became the epicenter of significant student protests triggered by the conflict in Gaza, which claimed thousands of civilian lives, including many children.

Hezbollah announced early Sunday morning that it launched about 50 rockets from southern Lebanon at Israel in solidarity with the Palestinians in Gaza and in retaliation for recent Israeli attacks in the southern part of the country.

According to initial reports, the rockets were intercepted in the sky by Israel’s air defense system, the Iron Dome.

In response to the escalating tension in the Middle East following the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh, the United States is undertaking the largest deployment of warships in the region since October 7. This move comes amidst growing concerns of Iranian retaliation against Israel, heightening regional instability.

January 10 marks the 80th anniversary of one of the most sinister and bloodiest bombings of Sofia during the Second World War. Then the first combined one was performed, i.e. day-night attack on the capital.

Acting Navy Secretary Thomas Modly resigned on April 7, according to two officials, just hours after he had publicly apologized for a profanity-laced upbraiding of the officer he fired as captain of the coronavirus-stricken USS Theodore Roosevelt.

U.S. Navy Capt. Brett Crozier departed the USS Theodore Roosevelt aircraft carrier to raucous cheers from his crew after being fired for raising the alarm on the spread of the coronavirus on the ship.

The vast outpouring of support for the dismissed captain was captured on video by those on or near the ship who recorded as the crew yelled his name in between unison claps.

The captain of a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier facing a growing outbreak of the coronavirus on his ship was fired on April 2 by Navy leaders who said he created a panic by sending his memo pleading for help to too many people.

Divisions within Asia over China's claims in the disputed South China Sea spilled over on Nov. 4 to a meeting of U.S. and Asian defense ministers, where China insisted the group make no public mention of the strategic waters in a joint declaration intended as a public display of unity.

Defense Secretary Ash Carter said April 22he is concerned that Iranian ships heading toward Yemen may be carrying advanced weapons for the Houthi rebels, and moving a U.S. aircraft carrier to the region gives the president options.
