Bipartisan support for U.S. to give Ukraine planes and weapons grows
CBSN
Washington — A growing chorus of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are calling on the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with fighter jets and weapons to bolster its defense against Russia's continued attacks.
The bipartisan, 58-member Problem Solvers Caucus on Sunday became the latest group of lawmakers to push for Ukraine to receive more military assistance from the U.S., including help securing Stinger missiles, air-defense systems and fighter jets.
"Despite heroic and skillful resistance by Ukrainian forces, Russia currently retains air superiority over Ukraine," the group said in a statement. "Russia's advantage in this domain could soon develop into air dominance if the Ukrainians do not receive necessary military aid."
UFO sightings should not be dismissed because they could in fact be surveillance drones or weapons, say Japanese lawmakers who launched a group on Thursday to probe the matter. The investigation comes less than a year after the U.S. Defense Department issued a report calling the region a "hotspot" for sightings of the mysterious objects.
The Allied invasion of Normandy 80 years ago today marked a pivotal event that historians often refer to as the beginning of the end of World War II. This operation began the liberation of Nazi-occupied territories and eventually ended the atrocities that resulted in the extermination of more than 6 million Jewish people.
In the weeks following D-Day, America and its allies deployed over 2 million troops into France, including a first-of-its-kind, top-secret U.S. military unit with a unique mission: to trick the Germans into chasing fake targets. Known as the Ghost Army, this unit's efforts 80 years ago marked the beginning of the end for Adolf Hitler.
