America and a handful of its allies are reportedly considering deploying troops to Eastern Europe before any potential Russian invasion of Ukraine

This move would be used as a show of support for Ukraine in the wake of Moscow’s increasing military presence and pressure at the border.

The countries in discussions include Romania, Bulgaria, and Hungary.

It’s believed around one thousand military personnel would be deployed to each nation… similar to the current situation in the Baltic States and Poland.

The United States and Britain are among those NATO members considering the move, but not all are convinced it’s the right tactic.

The possibility of deploying further troops towards Russia marks a significant shift in opinion by the Biden administration, which has been working hard to avoid provoking the Kremlin further.

Now when it comes to military action, US Pentagon Press secretary John Kirby says America has been nothing but transparent.

Kirby says the United States and its allies are determined to maintain peace and stability in the Eastern European region and help defend Ukraine’s sovereignty.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.

Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
