According to Poland’s ruler, President Karol Nawrocki, the country is in need of nuclear weapons. Citing a perceived “Russian threat”, Nawrocki said that Poland should be developing its own nuclear weapons program. The U.S. and Russia Are Seeking New START Nuclear Treaty Through Diplomacy While speaking to Polsat News on Sunday, Nawrocki said he is a “strong supporter of Poland joining the nuclear project.” “We need to act in this direction so that we can begin work,” the Polish president stated, adding that he does not know whether Warsaw would actually pursue this endeavor. Meanwhile, talk of obtaining nuclear weapons is…

United States ruler Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has vowed to send thousands of troops to Gaza for deployment. Trump announced the initiative in a Truth Social post, stating that countries participating will formalize their commitments at a meeting on February 19th in Washington. “Member States have pledged more than $5 BILLION DOLLARS toward the Gaza Humanitarian and Reconstruction efforts, and have committed thousands of personnel to the International Stabilization Force and Local Police,” he wrote, adding that Hamas must uphold its commitment to full and immediate “demilitarization.” Trump Reveals “Phase Two” of the Gaza Ceasefire The deployment of military troops to…

The United States has taken control of another oil tanker for defying ruler Donald Trump’s “quarantine.” The Pentagon said that “the vessel tried to defy President Trump’s quarantine – hoping to slip away. We tracked it from the Caribbean to the Indian Ocean, closed the distance, and shut it down.” The US launched a military operation in Venezuela in early January. That operation saw the kidnapping of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. In addition to that, the US now claims to have seized control of the country’s oil exports. Earlier this year, Trump said that Washington plans to “control Venezuela’s oil…

RoseCraft’s newest model, the Barren Fork Jack, has just arrived with dealers – and it marks a big moment for the shop as it is the first RoseCraft piece made from 14C28N steel, answering a long-time request from customers. Last year, RoseCraft officially moved away from modern folders altogether, to focus on what they do best: making accessible, quality traditional knives. Since then, the company’s head honcho, Andy Armstrong, has been on a bit of a roll, putting out a stream of new takes on various historical patterns. The Barren Fork Jack’s lineage can be traced to a jack knife…

TOPS is continuing its shrinking-down of famous models with the Lil Chete. As the name implies, the Lil Chete brings the famous big chopper’s design into a smaller – but not too small! – package. Now we know what you may be thinking to yourself, Didn’t TOPS already release a shrunk-down El Chete?? The answer is, they did indeed, last year with El Chete Mini, which dropped the blade length all the way down to 5.5 inches – not small in the grand scheme of knives but, considering the proud papa had a blade north of 11 inches, a pretty…

Boker has once again renovated a traditional pocket knife for 2026. The Modern Club Knife is another historic jack knife pattern spruced up with all the modern EDC knife fixings. This “modernized traditional” concept has been an ongoing project for the prolific Solingen, Germany-based Boker. In early 2024 they created the Modern Barlow, followed by the Modern Trapper later that year. The concept is one that innately appeals to knife nerds, because most people in that demographic enjoy both the high-tech modern stuff, as well as the simple, rugged, eternally useful traditional pieces that laid the groundwork for the things…

What’s cleaner than clean? We Knife Co. is trying to answer that question with an incoming model called the Nivron, which brings a look that can only be described as…hyperclean. A hyperclean design does not mean the Nivron isn’t ready to plunge into the grunge of day-to-day carry. In fact, it’s probably ready for more than the usual EDC cutting jobs. Its blade is an elegantly proportioned, but quite large, clip point blade – running all the way out to 3.8 inches, in fact. That puts it in the wheelhouse of some of those big honkin’ first-gen We Knife monsters,…

The Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 entered the Cold War as a swept-wing jet fighter that stunned Western planners and demonstrated its lethality in the skies over Korea. In this article, Peter Suciu examines how its advanced aerodynamics, heavy cannon armament, and combat performance against American aircraft made it one of the defining military machines of the twentieth century. The MiG-15 emerged as the Soviet Union’s first swept-wing jet fighter and completely shocked Western air forces when it appeared over Korea.

As a full-time fly fishing guide, I’m often on the mountain scouting multiple fishing spots every morning and evening. It was a beautiful, warm evening in June when I decided to make the long trek to one of my favorite spots. This spot is a hike-in lake, about a mile and a half each way or so, to the most beautiful alpine lake filled with hungry Colorado Cutthroat. I set off around four o’clock in the afternoon, which would get me to the lake for the prime-time evening bite. Bridget’s 10mm Springfield Armory Range Officer Elite Operator proved to be the…
