Boeing expands MQ-28 combat capabilities

 The Boeing Company revealed new capabilities for its MQ-28 Ghost Bat combat drone at the ILA Berlin Air Show on Wednesday, including increased range, carrying capacity, and expanded weapons options.

"That additional capacity gives operators freedom to balance payload and endurance to configure for the mission at hand, whether that means carrying extra fuel for longer-range operations, increasing weapons carriage, or any combination of both," MQ-28 Global Program Director Glen Ferguson said. Boeing said the upgraded aircraft features a wing more than 25% larger and can carry two AMRAAM missiles or four Small Diameter Bombs internally.

Ferguson said the upgrades, developed with the Royal Australian Air Force, "will be progressively released to the fleet through a spiral upgrade program." Australia agreed in December to acquire six operational MQ-28A Ghost Bat drones under a A$1.4 billion contract with Boeing Defence Australia after the aircraft completed a live missile test against an aerial target.

US, allies condemn 'lethal plotting' by Iran's IRGC

 The United States, multiple European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, and France, as well as Australia and New Zealand, issued a joint statement condemning "the lethal plotting and other malign actions in Europe, North America and Australia by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Intelligence Organisation, Quds Force, and Ministry of Intelligence and Security."

The allies said that the Iranian security services' use of international and local criminal groups for plotting attacks worldwide is "deplorable." They also condemned recent attacks on Jewish communities, Iranian journalists and US interests across Europe claimed by the pro-Iranian Islamist group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya.

"Attempts to kill, kidnap, harass, intimidate, or otherwise attack people on our soil, undermine national sovereignty and international norms. These actions must stop immediately. We commend the work of countries to counter these activities, and we are together resolved to undertake further measures to halt them," the statement reads.

Meanwhile, Qatari mediators reportedly traveled to Tehran today to maintain momentum in talks following the escalation.

Belfast Burns After Sudanese Migrant's Street-Beheading Attempt Sparks Local Revolt Against Globalists

 The unrest ripping through Belfast should be seen as a predictable social reaction from a local population that believes it has been ignored and overruled by a global managerial class of unhinged politicians who have spent more than a decade enforcing nation-killing mass migration policies without public consent.

The attempted beheading of a native-born citizen earlier this week, involving a third-world migrant, appears to have become the catalytic event that pushed long-simmering anger into the streets.

Overnight coverage: 

Unlike much of Europe, where public backlash is weak or suppressed by the globalist regime, Northern Ireland now appears to be entering a more volatile phase, with local communities signaling that their tolerance for mass migration and the resulting security failures has reached a critical breaking point.

Front page of local paper, Belfast Telegraph:

Local outlet The Irish News wrote on X, "Residents had to be evacuated from their homes in east Belfast following fires. Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service officers attended the scene at Lendrick Street on Tuesday night."

Northern Ireland First Minister Michelle O'Neill condemned both the attempted beheading and the subsequent social unrest.

"The attack in North Belfast was heinous and wrong. But there are dangerous attempts to exploit that to target and attack innocent people who are simply trying to live, work, and raise their families here," O'Neill said.

Activist Tommy Robinson, who has long warned about mass migration chaos, shared an image of the victim before the beheading attack, which he says was carried out by a "Sudanese invader" ...

... and here's the victim after the attack (view here): 

Robinson blasted lefty Prime Minister Keir Starmer: "This twat imports the problem, dumps murderers and rapists into our communities, then whines about what is and is not acceptable?"

"Stop importing rapists, murderers, and sex pests from savage third-world countries who put young girls' lives at risk. Once you have advocated for that, and the removal of unwanted illegal migrants from communities who never asked for or wanted them, then you can take the high road," Robinson continued.

He noted, "I have very little time or patience right now listening to those who plant unvetted savages into our communities who rape, murder and prey on our children - and they have the audacity to tell us to shut up for the sake of diversity, and everyone is racist?"

The civilizational collapse of the Western world is no longer a distant warning; it is being written in the blood of its citizens on the streets of Belfast. While the establishment media scrambles to sanitize the narrative, the horrific facts of this latest betrayal remain absolute. Hadi Alodid, a 30-year-old Sudanese national sustained by the asylum industrial complex, has been remanded in custody for the brutal attempted stabbing murder of Stephen Ogilvie. Ogilvie remains in serious condition after losing his left eye, having suffered devastating wounds to his face and back. This is the predictable outcome of borderless globalism: the deliberate importation of third-world violence directly into unsuspecting working-class neighborhoods.

The institutional response to this tragedy exposes the total rot of the globalist managerial class. Prime Minister Keir Starmer bypassed the horrific maiming of a native citizen entirely, choosing instead to threaten outraged protestors with the full force of the law. The regime routinely ignores public safety failures, yet it displays immediate, ruthless efficiency the moment an endangered community rises in self-defense. This asymmetric application of justice proves that our leaders are completely insulated from the consequences of their policies and utterly indifferent to the suffering of the people they supposedly govern.

The explosive protests tearing through Belfast are the justified reflex of a population that refuses to accept quiet liquidation. For decades, citizens have been gaslit into believing that the institutional machinery of democracy would self-correct. The reality is now undeniable: the ballot box is dead, the entire system is rigged, and our leaders are not listening to us. You cannot vote your way out of a regime designed to replace you. When formal channels of justice surrender, the street becomes the final forum of survival. The resistance in Ulster (a province in Ireland) is a warning shot to the entire West to throw off the psychological chains of submission, support the defense of our communities, and reclaim our nations before it is too late.

What needs to be addressed are the globalist politicians who pushed population replacement against the will of the people, not just in Europe but in the U.S., and flooded nations with years of mass migration.

It increasingly appears as though their objective was to collapse these countries from within and transform them into one-party states governed by globalist elites.
