The U.S. Africa Command said the Russian military aircraft arrived in Libya recently from an air base in Russia via Syria, where they were repainted to hide their Russian origin

AFRICOM said the aircraft were likely to provide close air support and offensive fire for the Wagner Group, a Russia-based state-sponsored company that employs mercenaries to fight alongside the eastern forces of military commander Khalifa Hifter. In the past two months, Hifter’s forces have lost a string of western towns and a key air base after Turkey stepped up military support for his rivals, sending drones, air defence systems, armoured vehicles and thousands of Syrian mercenaries.

“The world heard Mr. Hifter declare he was about to unleash a new air campaign. That will be Russian mercenary pilots flying Russian-supplied aircraft to bomb Libyans,” Townsend said.

Wuhan lab head calls virus leak claims ‘pure fabrication’U.S. President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have repeatedly said they suspect the virus that was first detected in Wuhan was somehow released from the laboratory Ok..that’s settled. No point in an investigation. Until a thorough (and as impartial as possible) investigation can be completed a virus leak (accidental or otherwise) should be left on the table as a possibility. Anyone saying 'well it can't be this option so don't even think about it' should be met with suspicion. OK let's pretend it's that. Then CLOSE THE DAMN WET MARKETS. Or whatever you want to call them.. the animal trade hells.
