Russia boasts world's top nuclear force, must improve ground forces, Putin claims
Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed that Moscow possesses the world's most advanced nuclear systems but must significantly strengthen its ground forces, Russian state media reported on June 11. As Russia continues its war against Ukraine, Moscow has increased investment in its military. Russian defense spending has reached its highest level since the Cold War at 6.3% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Putin claimed that Russia's nuclear triad has the highest share of new equipment among nuclear powers. "Currently, the share of modern weapons and equipment in the strategic nuclear forces is already 95%. This is a good indicator, in fact, it is the highest of all nuclear powers in the world," Russian state media reported Putin saying. Putin then called for Russia's ground forces to be improved as quickly as possible. "The dominant force in conducting modern military operations of any scale and intensity remains the ground forces. And it is important to increase their combat capabilities in the shortest possible time," he said. Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Russia first began its armed aggression against Ukraine in 2014, when its proxies occupied territory in eastern Ukraine and Russia annexed Crimea. Russia regularly strikes civilian infrastructure in its ongoing war against Ukraine. On June 11, a Russian drone attack on Kharkiv killed at least three people and injured 64 others.

Trump's DHS Launches Hotline to Rat Out 'Foreign Invaders' as Immigration Raids Continue
Trump's DHS Launches Hotline to Rat Out 'Foreign Invaders' as Immigration Raids Continue originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The Trump Administration is ramping up its controversial immigration raids by releasing a flyer that urges Americans to "help your country and yourself" by reporting what the Department of Homeland Security calls "foreign invaders" to a new hotline. The flyer, which is reminiscent of former Vice Presidential candidate Tim Waltz push for neighbors to report others for violating Minnesota's COVID-19 lockdowns, utilized imagery often associated with McCarthyism propaganda released during the Cold War. At the time, Americans were urged to report anyone they suspected of having communist leanings, which ensnared many Hollywood actors who landed on a blacklist that tore through the industry in the 1940s into the 1950s. Eva Barrios, 28, of Echo Park, when shown the poster while walking down Sunset Boulevard, called it "terrifying." She says she supports deporting dangerous aliens, but she now believes the President is taking immigration actions too far. "We are going to turn in someone's nanny? Or the guy mowing the lawn? That poster is gross." The DHS hotline was released as federal officials continue raids across Southern California. Last month, Stephen Miller, Trump's White House deputy chief of staff, told Fox News he has instructed ICE to arrest 3,000 people a day, a major increase in enforcement. Operations, according to ICE media releases, are happening across the nation. Surprise raids in Los Angeles have led to six straight days of unrest and hundreds of arrests. Most recently, footage emerged of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement action on farms in the agricultural centers of Kern County, Tulare County, and Kings County located north of Bakersfield. It remains unclear exactly how many undocumented immigrants have been taken into custody. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 11, 2025, where it first appeared.

US unveils city-destroying nuclear missile after years of secrecy
By Dean Murray The United States has unveiled its city-destroying nuclear cruise missile after years of secret development. The first image of the AGM-181A Long-Range Standoff (LRSO) reveals a sleek, stealthy weapon designed to evade modern air defenses, with a range said to exceed 1,500 miles. It is thought the missile will have an adjustable nuclear yield between 5–150 kilotons, allowing uses ranging from tactical effect to destroying cities. A yield of 150 kilotons is 10 times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945. The LRSO is set to replace the Cold War-era AGM-86B and will be carried by both the forthcoming $585m B-21 Raider and upgraded B-52 bombers. Air Force officials confirmed that the LRSO has already undergone a series of successful flight tests is set for frontline service by 2030.
