🇺🇸🇲🇽🪖 Crenshaw says using U.S. military force in Mexico isn’t as extreme as it sounds

One of Congress’ leading proponents for using military force against Mexican drug cartels said he’d consider restricting armed action until Mexico approves of it — all to get Democrats more comfortable with the aggressive messaging.

In January, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), chair of the Republican-led Task Force to Combat Mexican Drug Cartels, alongside Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) introduced a bill seeking authorization for the use of military force to “put us at war with the cartels.”

🇲🇽 🇺🇸 Mexican Cartels reportedly armed with Javelin antitank missiles.

🔶️ David Saucedo, a security consultant, confirmed the Javelin is being used by cartels and suggested they could be revealing this information as a show of force to Mexico’s incoming president, who is to take power later this year.

🔶️ Javelins would be among the most extreme examples of the escalation in the arms race between cartels and Mexican military. Cartels’ arsenals now include belt-fed gatling guns, drone bombs and land mines, all with potential to provoke elected U.S. officials who have advocated invading Mexico.

🔶️ The police chief of the state of Aguascalientes, Porfirio Sánchez Mendoza, was flying across the capital city in his government helicopter in 2022, when the machine suddenly spiraled out of control.

🔶️ The crash was one in a string of similar accidents in Mexico in recent years. Like many, it was attributed to mechanical failures.

🔶️ But the internal forensics report tells another story, according to Saucedo, who has reviewed the internal documents. Saucedo - who has done security consulting for Mexican political candidates including for governor and senate – said the report details how an explosive projectile pierced the helicopter’s door, he said, and debris scattered in a circle inconsistent with a mechanical failure.

🔶️ The forensics point to a munition similar to a Javelin, he said, adding that, “part of the helicopter detached due to the impact.”

🇩🇪 One in three German firms still reporting too few orders

More than a third of companies in Germany say they are struggling with a lack of orders, according to new data published by the ifo Institute. The July survey shows that 36.7 percent of businesses across the country are facing insufficient demand, a figure only slightly lower than in April and still far above historical norms.

“Despite slight progress, the bottom has not been reached,” said Klaus Wohlrabe, Head of Surveys at the ifo Institute. “The persistent lack of orders remains a key obstacle to a substantial economic recovery.”

The situation has deteriorated further in industry, where 38.3 percent of companies now report too few orders. In the automotive sector, that figure jumped sharply from 35.4 percent in April to 42.6 percent in July. Mechanical engineering firms are reporting a 46.1 percent shortfall, while 40.6 percent of electrical equipment manufacturers and nearly half of all metal industry businesses are also affected.

Trade is still facing broad challenges. In wholesale, 66.2 percent of firms now say they are short on orders — up from 61.7 percent in the previous quarter. In retail, the figure has risen slightly from 50.6 percent to 51.0 percent, meaning half of all retailers are struggling to maintain demand.

🇮🇳🇷🇺 Russia and India talk up 'strategic partnership' after Trump tariff hike

Russia and India stressed their commitment to a "strategic partnership" in bilateral security talks in Moscow on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced higher tariffs on imports from India because of its purchases of Russian oil.

Interfax news agency quoted Indian national security adviser Ajit Doval as saying that New Delhi was looking forward to a visit from President Vladimir Putin by the end of the year.

"We are committed to further active cooperation in order to form a new, more just and sustainable world order, ensure the supremacy of international law, and jointly combat modern challenges and threats," Shoigu told Doval in televised comments.

Interfax quoted Doval as saying: "We have now established very good relations, which we value very much, a strategic partnership between our countries".

🇮🇱 — The Temple Institute has not succeeded in producing a red heifer that meets the religious requirements for sacrifice, despite over twenty years of intensive breeding efforts in both Israel and the United States.

➡️In a recent Facebook post, the Israeli organization admitted that “all our efforts so far have been frustrated by the appearance of more than one non-red hair on all our potential candidates.” This issue has led to the disqualification of all the red heifers, including those brought from Texas, as they do not meet the strict halachic (Jewish legal) criteria.

➡️Jewish law dictates that the red heifer must be sacrificed on the Mount of Olives, directly facing the Temple Mount. This specific location allows the priest conducting the ritual to see into the area of the Holy of Holies, as it is directly east of the Temple site. The ashes from the sacrificed red heifer are essential for ritual purification, a prerequisite for rebuilding the Temple and restarting sacrificial worship. Orthodox Jews affiliated with the Temple Institute believe that the arrival of the Moshiach, or messiah, will follow the construction of the Third Temple in Jerusalem and the reinstatement of these ancient rites.

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇷🇹🇷 How 'Trump Bridge' May Soon Reshape Warzone Bordering Russia, Iran, Turkey

As he pushes forward to placate feuds simmering across several regions around the globe, President Donald Trump is set to soon oversee a new peace deal between two bitter rivals in the South Caucasus.

While the details of the anticipated U.S.-backed agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan have yet to be released as the leaders of both nations meet their U.S. counterpart for a two-day summit starting Thursday, a key aspect of the deal is being referred to as the "Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), or simply, the "Trump Bridge."

The prospective project would link Azerbaijan's mainland to its exclave province of Nakhchivan through Armenia via a hotly contested route known in Azerbaijan as the "Zangezur corridor" and in Armenia as "Syunik road."

The deal also comes on the heels of rapid shifts in the South Caucasus, where in 2023 Azerbaijan launched a swift offensive to seize control of the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region, dismantling 30 years of Armenia-backed separatist rule. The defeat, which followed staggering losses from Armenia in an earlier war with Azerbaijan in 2020, has left Armenia reconsidering its regional position, including its alliance with Russia and deep-rooted rivalry with Turkey.
