CNN  —  For more than three years, Russia has used its fleet of bombers to rain hellfire on Ukraine. On June 1, Kyiv responded by going after those bombers.

Dozens of hidden drones emerged from trucks parked in Russia, racing to airfields thousands of miles from Ukraine and destroying at least 12 bombers. Although the operation was a huge boost for Ukrainian morale, many in the country braced for Moscow’s retaliation. Their fears sharpened when Russian President Vladimir Putin told his US counterpart Donald Trump on Wednesday that the Kremlin…

CNN  —  This is the showdown the White House has been waiting for. Unrest sparked by federal immigration raids in Los Angeles provided a questionable catalyst for President Donald Trump to stage a demonstration of military force. His deployment of National Guard troops, against the wishes of California’s governor and LA’s mayor — both Democrats — appears at this point to be mostly for show, intended to create the perception of the administration getting tough.

There’s a quote, often attributed to Manchester United legend Eric Cantona: “You can change your wife, your politics, your religion, but never, never can you change your football team.” Fans of FC United of Manchester are an exception to that rule. They were so disillusioned by the trajectory of their beloved Manchester United that they formed a new one in their own image, and they brought Cantona with them.Following the Glazer family’s leveraged takeover at Old Trafford in 2005, a group of fans already falling out of love with the heavily commercialized realities of the modern game, decided that enough…

Nallo says: “I would say in terms of my teammates we’re all close and we stand up for each other, we look out for each other. “I feel like if they need anything, they can come to me. And if I need anything, I can go to them. Everyone’s a leader in my eyes but the gaffer seems [to think] I am.”I would say I lead by example – I don’t like shouting.
