Damage to Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 in the Baltic Sea has NATO worried that Putin is about to shift the front west. On Tuesday, seismologists reported three explosions at different parts of the underwater pipelines and moments later, controllers in Germany watched as the gas pressures dropped…

The U.S. Army Green Berets are one of the most misunderstood units among America’s elite special operators.
