Bombshell Kremlin leak exposes Trump
Leaked documents from the Kremlin show the Russian President personally involved in an operation to help Donald Trump win the 2016 US Presidential election.
The bombshell documents have been obtained by The Guardian newspaper.
They appear to have come from a closed meeting of the country’s national security council in January 2016, when Donald Trump had become the Republican front runner.
The most significant Kremlin document describes Mr Trump as the “most promising candidate” from Russia’s perspective.
Trump is described as an “impulsive, mentally unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex” and his ascent to the presidency “will definitely lead to the destabilisation of the US’s sociopolitical system”.
The paper says “It is acutely necessary to use all possible force to facilitate his election to the post of US president.”
They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow’s strategic objectives, among them “social turmoil” in the US and a weakening of the American president’s negotiating position.
Russia’s three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump, in a decree appearing to bear Putin’s signature.
COMPROMISING MATERIAL
It also alludes to compromising material that Russia supposedly has on Mr Trump. The paper refers to “certain events” that happened during Trump’s trips to Moscow.
Donald Trump has labelled the documents “disgusting fake news”. The Kremlin has dismissed the papers as a great fiction.
Western intelligence agencies are understood to have been aware of the documents for some months and to have carefully examined them.
In a statement, Mr Trump called The Guardian’s story “disgusting”.
“This is disgusting. It’s fake news, just like RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA was fake news,” said the former president.

Trump proposes $100,000 H-1B visa fee increase

Trump announces massive H-1B visa fee increases and introduces $1 million ‘gold card’ to reshape immigration system
– Trump announced a $100,000 fee for H-1B visas and a $1 million residency gold card to boost American hiring.
– Critics argue increased fees may limit smaller firms’ access to foreign talent, impacting U.S. tech innovation.
Trump stated the initiative aims to bring in highly skilled individuals rather than those crossing the borders illegally. A gold card requiring a $1 million payment will expedite visa processing, with a reduced availability compared to existing green card categories.
The new programme could alter the competitive landscape for U.S. tech companies, which historically depend on H-1B visas to access foreign talent.
Critics warn that the increased fees may deter smaller firms from utilising these visas, potentially hindering U.S. progress in tech sectors like artificial intelligence.
Visa Impact
Debate persists within Trump’s administration regarding the new policy’s implications. Supporters argue it protects American jobs, while opponents contend it restricts access to global talent crucial for innovation.
The H-1B visa programme, established in 1990, remains vital for skilled foreign workers seeking residency in the U.S., yet faces growing scrutiny.

Israel launches its new “Iron Beam” laser system

Israel’s new “Iron Beam” laser defense system to deploy by year-end, promising cost-effective missile interception.
Israel’s Defence Ministry says its new “Iron Beam” laser system will be deployed by year’s end. The technology is designed to destroy incoming missiles, rockets, drones and mortars with precision.
Developed by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems in partnership with Elbit Systems, Iron Beam will sit alongside existing defences such as Iron Dome, David’s Sling and Arrow. Unlike traditional interceptors which can cost tens of thousands of dollars per shot, the laser comes at negligible expense.
Officials call it the world’s first high-power laser interception system to achieve operational maturity, hailing it as a game-changer for modern warfare. Military leaders expect the system to reshape air defence capabilities and cut costs dramatically.
