Hackers force US Army to take down websites after plastering them with Trump insults

The U.S. Army has been forced to take down websites that have been compromised by hackers into displaying anti-Trump messages.According to The Daily Beast, the affected websites contained pro-Kurdish slogans along with messaging like 'the US president is a pedophile thief. (expletive) trump tom barrack (sic),' a reference to the U.S. Ambassador to Turkey.The defaced websites were first reported by CyberScoop.All of this comes as Trump is in Turkey for a NATO summit. The Turkish government is known to ruthlessly suppress Kurdish separatist groups, some of which, in turn, are recognized as terrorist groups like the PKK.The conflict between Turkey and Kurdish separatists has killed tens of thousands over the past forty years and has long underpinned Turkish state suppression of Kurdish language and identity, noted the report, which added that Trump and Barrack further angered Kurdish advocates in January when they appeared to endorse a government offensive in neighboring Syria designed to recapture Kurdish territory.Trump's presence at the NATO summit has come with numerous other controversies, including a joint appearance with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which Trump repeatedly mixed him up with Vladimir Putin and referred to his war against the Islamic Republic of Japan.

Russia says Kostiantynivka has fallen. Kyiv claims it still holds the city. Both are wrong.

In recent days, alongside reports of drone and missile strikes on cities, factories, and gas stations, the state of the front lines has suddenly become a major topic of discussion — apparently because Donald Trump has returned as a mediator in the negotiations. Vladimir Putin told him about the fighting in the ruins of Kostiantynivka, in Ukraine’s Donetsk region — a key city the Russian president claims his army now holds. Ukraine’s General Staff responded that Kostiantynivka remains under the control of Ukraine’s Armed Forces. To back up their claims, both sides released videos of their troops inside the city, some recorded by opposing troops on nearby streets. In reality, neither Moscow nor Kyiv is right: Russian forces haven’t captured Kostiantynivka outright, but Ukraine doesn’t control the city either, though its troops still hold positions there, including in the city center. And while the Kremlin jumped the gun with its announcement, the situation in Kostiantynivka and elsewhere in the Donbas continues to deteriorate slowly for Ukraine’s military.
