The United States has defended Europe for GENERATIONS, and all the President said was that our jets need to take off from bases in Europe or our ships from ports to strike targets in the Middle East... Too many of our allies said no or tried to drown us in arcane legal debates, or criticized us publicly for doing what they aren’t prepared or able to do themselves—IT WAS SHAMEFUL."

Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.

Intercepted Russian communications released by Ukraine’s Security Service shows that Russian claims that a Ukrainian drone targeted a bus carrying Belarusian civilians in Russia’s Bryansk region are false. According to an internal report from the Bryansk Region’s “Safe Region” monitoring center, no Ukrainian UAV activity was recorded in the area’s airspace at the time of the incident. The document raises further questions about Moscow’s version of events and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
